About

Scriptly

Features
Read full description

Scriptly is a Bible you can write in. Read it in your own language, hear it read aloud, and keep what you think beside the verse that prompted it β€” written by hand with Apple Pencil, or typed. No account, no ads, nothing to buy. READ β€’ 22 languages, most with several translations: English, Bengali, Chinese, French, German, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. β€’ Flowing text at whatever size reads easily, or a real page β€” ruled, squared, dotted or blank β€” with a margin wide enough to think in. β€’ Ask in your own words: β€œwhere does Jesus talk about worry” finds the passage. LISTEN β€’ Chapters read aloud in English and Chinese, and the Thai New Testament, with a choice of readers. β€’ On recordings with verse timings, the page follows the voice. β€’ It keeps playing while you read on, or with the screen locked. STUDY β€’ Tap a word to see the Greek or Hebrew behind it, its dictionary entry, and its grammar in plain words. β€’ Find every other place that word appears β€” or only that exact form. β€’ Cross-references on every verse, and study notes on the history and customs the first readers knew. β€’ Gather verses, notes and word studies into a study, then print it as a PDF or export it to Word. EVERY MORNING β€’ My Utmost for His Highest and Daily Light on the Daily Path, with a page to answer them on. β€’ Short reading plans you can actually finish. None of them start in Genesis. KEEP WHAT YOU THINK β€’ Pen, highlighter and eraser in your own colours. Circle a stroke and scribble over it to erase. β€’ Highlight a verse or type a note, tag it, and find it again in a notes list arranged by book. YOURS, AND PRIVATE β€’ No account needed, and no ads. β€’ Everything you mark, type or write follows you between your iPhone and iPad through your own private iCloud, in a container we can neither see nor reach. Sign in with Google too, and it is kept in your Google Drive as well. β€’ Anonymous counts of chapters opened β€” never the text, never your handwriting, never who you are β€” feed the β€œAround the world” screen, and can be turned off in Settings. On iPhone and iPad. Apple Pencil is a pleasure, not a requirement.

Verdict
