DisciPals is a Bible app designed to help you stay close to Scripture every day. Journey helps you keep a steady reading rhythm with chapter completion, catch-up, progress tracking, and reading streaks that grow any day you read — with a grace day if you miss one. A Verse of the Day greets you on the Journey home, with optional daily notifications. StudyPals groups are private and invite-only. Create or join a group with a code, follow a shared focus, grow together, and chat as you read. Shared content is filtered to help keep conversations safe and respectful. The Bible tab is a dedicated reader with its own reading position, so free browsing never moves your plan's place. Add notes, highlights, and bookmarks as you read, and share verses with links that open straight to the verse in the app. Reflections is a home for sermon notes, prayers, and thoughts. It automatically detects and links Bible references as you type, supports formatting, and syncs across your devices. Milestones help you celebrate progress across the app, including Journey, StudyPals, and streak activity, so you can see how your time in Scripture is growing. Account lets you personalize the app with theme, translations, journey plan, Bible reader preferences, and notifications. It also includes Help & FAQ. You can reset or delete your account whenever you need to. The app is built to work online, but many features also work offline once you sign in. NIV is included in the app, and any translation you download can also be read offline. Available translations include NIV, NLT, NKJV, WEBUS, and ASV.
