Whetstone is a free Bible app with no ads: a full study Bible, an audio Bible, reading plans, a daily devotional, Scripture memory training, and a home for your church. READ Fifteen translations: BSB, KJV, NKJV, NIV, ESV, NLT, World English Bible, Majority Standard Bible, Berean Literal Bible, Bible in Basic English, American Standard Version, Young's Literal, Darby, Webster and the Geneva Bible of 1599. The eleven public-domain translations download for reading without a signal, and you can search them word by word. Highlight, bookmark and take notes, and share any verse as a picture. STUDY Eleven commentaries beside the text, from the Tyndale study notes to Matthew Henry, Calvin, Spurgeon and Wesley. Tap a verse number for cross-references and a Greek or Hebrew word study with definitions and every other verse that uses the word. Each book has an introduction, and nearly every chapter lists its people, places and events, with a map, family trees and character profiles. Look up any name or subject in a Bible dictionary drawing on nine works. LISTEN An audio Bible in five translations, with eleven readers to choose from. The BSB has four narrators, the World English Bible is read by David Williams, the ESV is Crossway's recording read by David Cochran Heath, and the KJV and the Bible in Basic English have computer voices, with four accents for Basic English. Pick your translation and reader when you set up, or change them any time on the Audio tab. Play in order, loop a chapter or a book, set a sleep timer, line up chapters in a listening queue, and download chapters or whole books for offline listening (the ESV streams only). For the NIV, NKJV, KJV and Geneva Bible, each chapter also links to free recordings on Bible Gateway's website. DAILY DEVOTIONAL Start the day with Spurgeon's Morning and Evening or Daily Light on the Daily Path. Morning and Evening can also be heard each day, read by Frazer Blaxland from Crossway's podcast, and added to your listening queue to play with your chapters. MEMORIZE Training Cycles run 42 days. Pick your verses (five is the target, and a cycle can hold up to ten), and each day's session takes about ten minutes: read, listen, recall, and say the verse out loud while the app checks it word by word. Missing a day doesn't reset anything. Verses you learn come back for review on a spaced schedule so they stay with you. Six practice drills give extra reps when you want them. READING PLANS More than 70 plans in three groups. - Bible: the whole Bible in a year, in 180 days or in 90 days, M'Cheyne's calendar, the Bible in chronological order, the New Testament on weekdays, single books, and more. - Topics: 45 one-week plans on subjects like grace, anxiety, forgiveness, marriage and prayer. Each day is one whole chapter, opening at the verses on the topic, which are underlined as you read. - Fits a cycle: plans that last exactly 42 days, including seven six-topic series. Run more than one plan at a time, invite a friend to read along, and listen to the day's chapters instead of reading them. PRAYER Keep a prayer list. A few requests come up in each day's session, and answered prayers move to their own list. YOUR CHURCH Create a group for your church, family, class or friends, or join one with an invite code. Share announcements, a prayer wall, a calendar with event sign-ups and reminders, the sermon library with notes and slides, and your church's podcast. A church can also publish a public page with service times, location and sermons, and people can find listed churches by name, city or ZIP. MADE TO BE EASY A home-screen verse widget, text size and light or dark themes, reminders you set yourself, guided tours on every tab, and a step-by-step guide. Free, with no ads and no purchases. Your reading and notes stay yours, and an account is only needed for reminders, groups and syncing between devices.
