Yearly lets you systematically read your Bible in a year, with several plans and translations to choose from. It’s a simple app with a single main screen that focuses on one week at a time. Each day of the week is a swipeable card that features wood-engravings from the 19th-century artist Gustave Doré. You can read each day’s reading directly within the app, mark days as read, and keep track of your overall progress. Within Yearly's settings, you can customize your schedule’s start day to begin any day of the year. By default, your start date is set to the day you download and open Yearly for the first time. With just 15-20 minutes of reading each day, you can read the Bible cover-to-cover in a year! Yearly’s base features are free, and you can enjoy a 1-month free trial for the premium experience. With Yearly premium, your progress and settings are securely saved in iCloud, so they’re always backed up and synced in real-time. Yearly premium sends an optional notification every morning, allowing you to see your day’s reading right from your lock screen. You can customize when you receive this notification and optionally keep a badge on the app icon until the current day’s reading is complete. With Yearly premium, you can also take secure notes on your daily readings. We are committed to making the best bible schedule app on the market and welcome your questions and feedback!

I loved it. I returned to it recently to find it has been completely redesigned and far too complicated. It also appears to need to be paid for now to use the features which I would be happy to do if it was the same as before. Sadly I will now have to search for something new and user friendly. ### 5/5 — The best way to start your day *2026-02-18, version 26.1.2* This app is so wonderful ### 5/5 — I love it! *2026-02-10, version 25.11.4* This is a great app ### 2/5 — Gutted *2026-01-22, version 26.1.3* This was by far the best app out there and I completed the read through the Bible in a year two or three times. I loved it. I returned to it recently to find it has been completely redesigned and far too complicated.

I enjoyed using it, it's very easy to use, and I just finished reading the Bible in a Year for the first time ever, praise God! ### 1/5 — Old app was better *2026-01-02, version 25.12.5* We read through the Bible three times in three years on the free app. Now it seems we have to buy it. Looking for a new free app. ### 5/5 — Enjoying Hearing and Understanding Gods Word *2025-12-23, version 25.12.3* I have tried reading the entire bible for years only going so far before stopping. The previous version I used was difficult to read making it difficult to retain what I read. In February I felt myself sinking into a slow depression because all of the things going on in the world was overwhelming me. I then decided to start using Yearly and my NIV version bible to read the bible in a year and what a difference it has made in my life. I start everyday with my daily reading and it gets my day started with a calm spirit. The male reader is excellent ! His voice is very calming. The proper pronunciation of the biblical names and cities is an added bonus. I will share this experience with my frinds and family ! ### 5/5 — Exceptional appointment *2025-12-19, version 25.12.3* I love the large text and easy app controls ### 5/5 — Book of Revelation will not load? *2025-12-04, version 25.11.4* For 11 months I’ve read and am up to date. Then on my last month it all of a sudden refuses to upload? I thought this App was to promote reading the Bible? I’ll have to finish reading on my own. ❤️😇🙏🕊️ ## Frequently asked questions about Read the Bible in One Year ### What does the Read the Bible in One Year app do?
