What's New in Revised Common Lectionary

1.3.0

September 1, 2026

Listen to the day's readings. The Listen button now plays the ESV's own recorded reading — and every other translation is read aloud in a matching voice, non-English included. Playback keeps going while you browse the app (a mini player follows you), keeps playing when the screen locks, and the ESV recording gets Lock Screen controls. Tap the mini player for a full player — scrubber, verse-by-verse skips for spoken passages, speed, and the day's queue — or start "Listen to all" on the Today screen to hear the whole day in order. Recorded passages are saved for offline listening. Off by default — turn it on under Settings → Read aloud. Also in this update: • See the Hebrew and Greek behind the words. Press and hold any verse for its original-language words, each beside its English rendering, with pronunciation and meaning — in the NET, KJV, and ASV, press and hold a single word directly. Lookups stay on your device and work offline. • Share a favorite verse. A new Share button in the verse comparison turns the verse into a picture for social media or a group chat — square, portrait, or landscape, light or dark, in the day's season color. • Four more translations: the Geneva Bible (1599), the Revised Version (1885), the NLT Catholic Edition, and the CEV with the Deuterocanon — bringing the deuterocanonical readings to nine translations, modern ones now included. • Open passages in Accordance: with the Accordance app installed, it appears among the "Open passages in" choices. • A calmer reading view: readings and passages sit on full-width bands, and dark mode puts brighter text on deeper surfaces — easier on the eyes. The season emblem now sits beside the Today title, matching the app's accent. • Fixed: the app moves to the new day when you return after midnight; on iPad, tapping the Settings gear no longer scrolls the reading to the top; the artwork widget's info view stays readable with the Light theme pinned; the translation menu no longer opens beneath the hint text.

User reviews

Beautiful with great features

I love how this app helps me engage with lectionary Bible readings in such a beautiful way. And it’s full of all kinds of extra little touches like: you can set the accent colors to change with the church calendar season (Advent, Lent, etc.). Love!! I can tell accessibility was well thought out and appreciate that it will read to you right in the app. You can use a variety of translations too. I’m really just starting to explore all the features, but it’s nice to have an easy way to access God’s word, knowing that other believers around the world are studying the same scriptures.
