## What is SOAP Bible Study Tool?

SOAP is a calm, beautiful way to study the Bible every day.

SOAP stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer — a simple, time-tested method that turns reading into reflection. Each study walks you through the four steps, so you always know what to write next.

LOOK UP ANY VERSE
Type a reference like "John 3:16," or use the Book → Chapter → Verse picker to find your passage. Pull in the text instantly in the New International Version (NIV), New Living Translation (NLT), or King James Version (KJV) — or type your
own. Everything works offline once a verse is in.

WRITE WITH FOCUS
A clean, distraction-free editor gives each part of SOAP its own space:
• Scripture — the passage you're studying
• Observation — what it says and what stands out
• Application — how it speaks to your life today
• Prayer — your response to God

SMART, PRIVATE TAGGING
As you add a verse, the app gently suggests topics like "creation," "faith," or "hope" — generated entirely on your device, with no accounts and no AI servers.

SEE YOUR JOURNEY
The Insights tab shows your current study streak, your most-studied books, and the topics you return to most — quiet encouragement to keep showing up.

THOUGHTFUL DETAILS
• Search every study by scripture, notes, or tag
• A gentle daily reminder to spend time in the Word
• Share a study as beautifully formatted text
• A warm, elegant design in earth tones and cream

No ads. No accounts. No tracking. Just you and the Word.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-06-05

A few small touches to make your time in the Word smoother.

Pick up where you left off
The Read tab now remembers your place — a gentle card brings you right back to
your last chapter, so you can keep reading without hunting for where you were.

Gentle reflection prompts
The Observation, Application, and Prayer fields now offer soft, rotating prompts
to help you begin — a quiet nudge for those blank-page moments.

A grace day for your streak
Life happens. Miss a single day and your streak now holds — one grace day, so a
busy Tuesday doesn't undo weeks of faithfulness.

Thank you for spending time in the Word with SOAP.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-04

A deeper, more connected time in the Word.

A new Prayers tab
Every prayer you write now gathers in one calm place. Look back over what
you've brought to God, and swipe to mark a prayer "Answered" — a growing
record of His faithfulness. Filter to see prayers still awaiting an answer,
or revisit the ones already answered.

Read Scripture verse by verse
The Read tab now lays out each chapter as numbered verses. Tap the ones that
stand out and begin a study pre-filled with exactly that passage — going from
reading to reflection in a single tap.

Connected reflections
See your history with a passage. Open a chapter you've studied before and SOAP
gently reminds you you've been there — and each study now links to your other
reflections on the same chapter, so you can watch your understanding deepen
over time.

Share beautiful verse cards
Turn any study into an elegant, earth-toned Scripture card to share in
Messages, Instagram, or anywhere you'd like to pass along a little
encouragement. (Plain-text sharing is still here too.)

Also in this update
•  Your default translation now also sets the translation in the Read tab.
•  A tidier reader: a cleaner translation switcher and a single, focused
   "Study" action.
•  Polish and small refinements throughout.

Thank you for making space for the Word.
