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.
