BigWrd vs Focus Bible

Read the Bible like a real book — and listen along while the words light up. BigWrd is a Bible reading app that helps you stay consistent without feeling pressured. Pick your pace, skip rest days when you need them, and keep going... BigWrd's got your back and can adjust to just about anything. Turn pages like a real book. Switch to page-turn mode and swipe through Scripture like a physical Bible. Pages flip with a natural curl. Prefer scrolling? Switch anytime — BigWrd remembers where you were. Listen and follow along with Tracing. Play ESV audio (more audio soon?) and watch each word highlight as it’s read. It’s like karaoke for the Bible: you hear it and see exactly where you are. Turn Tracing on or off whenever you want. Change the pace, or how many words you want to Follow - from 1 to the entire verse. Plans that fit your life. Read the full Bible in a year, the New Testament in 90 days, gospels only, or mix several plans. Skip up to 2 days per week (e.g., weekends), or double-tap to skip a day when life gets busy — readings move forward so you still finish on time. Track your progress. Streaks, completion percentage, books and chapters read, and achievement badges show how far you’ve come. 18+ mainline translations (plus over 130 others, you choose). ESV, NIV, KJV, NKJV, NLT, NASB, CSB, AMP, MSG, and more. Switch between them while reading, in place without losing your place. Highlight, note, and save. Use preset highlight colors (you can rename or change color any time) or create your own categories like Promise, or Prayer, or I Digg. Add notes to verses, mark favorites, and see everything in MyWrds. Search by reference or phrase. Jump to any passage by typing “John 3:16” or “light of the world.” Read outside your plan whenever you want. Tap any word for Strong’s. See Greek and Hebrew definitions, transliteration, and meanings with a single tap. Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Same experience across devices. No ads. No tracking. No notifications. Built for reading, not engagement tricks.

WHAT MAKES FOCUS BIBLE DIFFERENT? Other apps give you surface-level devotional content or overwhelm you with raw info to piece together yourself. Focus Bible does the work for you. We show you what matters, in plain language, without assuming you already know everything. No ads. No merch store. Just the Bible, with the depth it deserves. Focus Bible gives you real Bible study tools. The kind that used to cost hundreds of dollars or require a seminary library. We give most of it away for free. --- BUILT ON TRUSTED SCHOLARSHIP, NOT OPINIONS Focus Bible doesn't invent its own take on the Bible. Everything we show you is grounded in theologians who have been read, trusted, and loved for generations. We draw on 200+ scholars and theologians, from the Reformation to today. Nearly 500 years and multiple Christian traditions, including some of the most beloved names in church history: John Calvin, Matthew Henry, Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley, John Gill, Adam Clarke, Albert Barnes, Keil and Delitzsch, Jamieson Fausset and Brown, A.T. Robertson, and more. We pair them with pastors preaching these same verses today. For every verse, we show you where they agree and where they differ. Then we connect it to history, to the original Hebrew and Greek, and to the world you live in today. You're not getting our opinions. You're standing on the shoulders of the scholars the church has trusted for centuries. --- WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE Not a free trial or a limited preview. This is what Focus Bible gives every registered user: • The full Bible in multiple translations. • What trusted scholars say about every verse. A clear summary of where these classic and modern voices agree, and where they see things differently. • The historical and cultural context behind each passage. • Related passages that connect across Scripture. • A preview of the original Hebrew and Greek behind every verse. • Short clips from pastors and teachers exploring the same passages you are reading. • Personal notes that sync across your devices. • Foundational reading plans. • Two reading modes: verse-by-verse study or continuous reading. • Powerful search that understands topics, themes, and ideas. We built Focus Bible because everyone deserves deep Bible study, not just those who can afford it. --- FOR THOSE WHO WANT EVEN MORE Some people want to go further: full original-language word studies, complete commentary texts, study questions for every verse, and analysis across Christian traditions. For them, we offer optional subscriptions: Study Membership ($79.99/year or $7.99/month) Full commentary texts from classic and modern sources. Complete original language word studies with multiple lexicons. Perspectives across traditions: Reformed, Catholic, Orthodox, and more. Our full encyclopedia of 4,400+ biblical people, places, and things. Custom reading plans that adapt to your daily feedback. But the free experience is not missing anything essential. --- WHO THIS IS FOR • If you are new to the Bible and want to understand what you are reading. • If you have read the Bible for years and want fresh perspective on familiar verses. • If you lead a small group and need to prepare each week. • If you are a pastor looking for efficient sermon research. • If you are studying theology and need scholarly sources. Focus Bible meets you where you are. --- Questions? support@focusbible.com We read every message.
