Bible Seek is a tool to help build your relationship with Christ from your phone — aiming to deliver a clean reading experience and the kind of thoughtful study tools a disciple would need. Everything is on-device. No account to create, no sign-in, no cloud sync. READER: Four offline translations — *King James Version*, *American Standard Version*, *Berean Standard Bible*, and *World English Bible*. Verse-by-verse or flowing paragraph options. Red Letter edition available. Adjustable font size, themes, and auto night mode for after sunset. MARK ANYTHING: Highlight in the color of your choice. Add notes; a subtle dotted underline shows where each note lives– tap it to edit. Tag notes (prayer, promise, question, anything you like). Tap a verse for quick actions: change color, remove, or add a note. STUDY: Greek/Hebrew Word Study. Select any word within the inline wordstudy screen or the separate menu, and see the definition, transliteration, and gloss. Biblical name meanings — look up a name for the Hebrew or Greek behind it, what it means, who bore it in Scripture, and the verses where it appears. Cross-references on tap. Each verse has its own "Related" sheet if applicable. Compare versions side-by-side. See your annotations from the other translation surfaced as a badge so nothing gets buried after a version switch. KEEP A JOURNAL: Every bookmark, highlight, and note lives in the Journal. Notes show the source verse alongside your writing. Save the whole journal as a PDF for sharing or keeping. JSON backup + restore so you can move between devices safely. Recently-deleted entries linger for 7 days for easy recovery. READING PLANS: Three built-in plans: Bible in a Year, Gospels in 30 Days, New Testament in 90 Days. Build your own custom plan from any combination of books and a duration you choose. A "Continue plan" card on the home screen surfaces today's reading. Daily notification reminders at the time you choose. A celebration screen when you finish. MEMORIZE BY DOING: Memory Verses uses active recall, not passive reading. The verse appears as blanks; its words appear in a shuffled bank. Tap them in the right order to fill it in. Only when you've actually completed it does the app mark it memorized. EVERYDAY HABIT: Verse of the Day on the home screen, plus an optional iOS home-screen widget. Topics — themed verse collections on prayer, faith, grief, gratitude, forgiveness, and more. SHARE CAPABILITIES: Generate image cards of any verse or note in a range of themes — Parchment (flat/textured), Slate, Sage, and Gold — ready to drop into chats Plain quoted text with the reference attached also available. OFFLINE & PRIVATE: The full text of both translations ships inside the app. Reads anywhere — plane, mountain, basement. Your highlights, notes, and bookmarks stay on your device. No account, no analytics, no cloud. Annotations are searchable from iOS Spotlight (your data, your phone, your search). I hope this helps someone know Christ for themselves.
