This app is an app version of the official Bible reading plan that can be found on our website. If you follow this plan, you will read the entire Bible in one year. Functions of the App: - Switching between different reading plans: You are not necessarily bound to the official plan, but have the possibility to choose your own tempo and freely arrange your Bible reading. - If you mark one or more verses as done, you will see the reading date, so that you know directly how many verses or chapters you have to catch up on. - Percentage display: You will get a percentage of how far you are with the corresponding Bible books. - Reminder function: Let yourself be reminded to read your Bible at a certain time. - After opening the app, it jumps to the Bible book you last clicked on. So you don't have to scroll forever to know where you are. - The app shows you what percentage of the entire Bible you have read - The new Dark Mode has been integrated to make the app even more beautiful Do you have any other ideas for the app or would you like to help with the translation? Then send me an e-mail to hello@ministryjw.org.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Bible Reading Assistant at none against Bible's shown. Bible Reading Assistant also leads on ratings volume (118 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Bible's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
