Abide is a daily reading and reflection app that helps you build a consistent Bible study habit. Each day, receive a curated Scripture passage, focus with the built-in timer, meditate on its meaning, and track your spiritual growth over time. It’s more than reading — it’s a structured path to live out God’s Word daily. Daily Reading Mission Begin each day with a guided reading task — a short Bible passage with goals to help you focus and stay consistent. Reading Timer Stay present while you read. Use the built-in timer to develop discipline and transform reading into a peaceful daily rhythm. Proverbs & Wisdom Reflections Discover daily verses from Proverbs and other wisdom books. Each quote is paired with a reflection that helps you apply truth to modern life. Complete Bible Access Read through the entire Bible at your own pace. Highlight meaningful verses, and revisit them anytime. Reading Report & Progress Tracker Visualize your journey with clear insights — total reading time, streak days, completed chapters, and favorite verses. Peaceful Reading Experience Soft typography, gentle color palette, and minimalist design crafted to reduce distractions and help you focus on God’s Word. Why Abide ? Because faith isn’t built in a day — it’s grown daily through reading, reflection, and practice. Abide makes that growth tangible, trackable, and deeply personal.“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The View App at none against Abide's shown. The View App also leads on iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). Abide's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#58 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
