Supercharge your Come Follow Me study! Build a daily habit of scripture study that works for the entire family! The goal of the We Believe app is to help members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints build a meaningful and lasting habit of daily scripture study. We all know how important scripture study is, but many of us struggle to make it happen. Life gets busy, distractions are everywhere, and scripture study can fall through the cracks. The WB app helps individuals and families overcome these challenges. Our mission is to build a modern, world-class scripture-study platform. Our app provides: 1) High-quality daily devotionals! Scripture + Quote + Question format focuses on the most important scriptures and insights for each day. Over the coming months, we'll be adding additional devotional formats to provide even more ways to engage with the scriptures. 2) Discussion and insight! Every devotional focuses on a question that will help you ponder the scriptures more deeply and discuss how they can apply in your daily life. This helps you go beyond just reading the scriptures, so that the scriptures truly come alive in your life. 3) Content for the entire family! Our devotionals are tailored to be relevant for members of all ages. For children as an example, we pull together and organize for you the best resources from around the web to help your children relate to the scriptures and the key principles being taught. 4) Works for anyone's schedule! Each day's reading is very high quality, but also very short. You can do it in less than 5 minutes, which means it will work for anyone's schedule (and it leaves more time for you to ponder and discuss what you're learning). We have devotional courses that will help all aspects of your gospel study. Our main courses focus on Come Follow Me, but we also have courses focused on the Book of Mormon and recent General Conference talks. Additional features to help enhance your gospel study include: - Verse of the day home screen widget - Top resources for adults from around the web - Top resources for kids from around the web - Many more to come in the next few months! Please note: The We Believe app is neither made, provided, approved nor endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The We Believe app is run by the We Believe Foundation, a Utah-based non-profit. It is a free app created by independent members of the church with no financial interest tied to its success. We are simply motivated to use the best tools, the best technology, and the most engaging approaches, to help our brothers and sisters improve their lives through scripture study. We hope you enjoy using the app!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: We Believe at 98% against NephiCalm's 49%. We Believe also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 5). NephiCalm's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#196 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
