A quiet place for your soul. A daily Bible verse, a daily devotional and a moment for prayer. Haven helps you make room for Scripture at your own pace, with a Bible widget and reflections to read or listen to. THE GOSPEL OF THE DAY Follow the rhythm of the Catholic liturgical calendar. Open the Gospel passage for the day and read it in your selected Bible translation. Explore the context around a verse and take time with what it means for your life. LISTEN AND REFLECT Listen to audio reflections when you want a quiet moment with Scripture. These are reflections on a verse, rather than recordings of the whole Bible. A GENTLE EVENING EXAMEN Close the day with gratitude, reflection and prayer. Five movements help you look back and turn toward tomorrow, without a timer or a score. Choose an evening reminder if it helps. PREPARE FOR CONFESSION A guided examination of conscience draws on the Ten Commandments, the precepts of the Church and everyday life. Mark prompts to bring to confession; your selections are not saved after you leave the screen. Available with Premium. A VERSE CLOSE AT HAND Keep a Bible verse on your home screen or lock screen with Haven widgets. SCRIPTURE FOR WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH Search by topic or feeling, such as hope, worry or gratitude. Save favorite verses, organize collections and share encouragement. Guided Journeys offer themed paths through Scripture. REFLECTION WITH AI Ask questions and explore Scripture with an AI reflection tool. It offers verses and gentle questions; it does not replace a priest or spiritual director. RETURN AT YOUR OWN PACE Gentle Rhythm recognizes the days you return without penalties for missing a day. Haven has no ads and supports 24 interface languages. Haven is rooted in Catholic daily reflection and welcomes anyone exploring Scripture. Bible passages use the available translations in the app; wording may differ from your local printed lectionary. Some features require Premium, including the examination of conscience before confession. Full audio access is included in Premium, with limited free listening options. One verse. One breath. Every day. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bible Widget at 28K against Haven's 1. Bible Widget also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days) and chart position (#89 vs unranked). Haven's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bible Widget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Haven sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.79 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Haven holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible Widget has 28K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Bible Widget ships an update every 2 days, Haven every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
