Manna is a Bible app for reading a little every day, and going deeper when you want to. Open it and there is a verse. Keep scrolling and there is another. Filter what comes by what you need: love, joy, peace, patience, nine in all. Tap any verse to open its whole chapter, and from there a study sheet that shows you what the verse quotes, where it is quoted later, the passages that tell the same event again, cross-references, the Greek or Hebrew behind a word, a dictionary article, and twenty-three public-domain commentators and devotional writers who have something to say about it. Six translations, always free World English Bible, Berean Standard Bible, American Standard Version, Young's Literal, Darby, and Douay-Rheims. All of them read offline. Saved verses keep the translation you saved them in. Your library stays yours There are no accounts and nothing to sign in to. Saved verses, highlights and notebooks live on your device and go nowhere else. Sixteen guided studies Foundations, Psalms and Life: 108 days of five to fifteen minutes. Each day has a passage, a key verse, a reflection, a word study, commentary to follow, a question, a practice and a prayer. No streaks, no daily lock, nothing to lose by missing a morning. On the Home Screen Widgets that turn over at midnight and noon: today's bread, morning and evening readings, and where you left off.
