The Pillar is a Bible study app for those longing to understand the Word more clearly, and to read it with more confidence — the original languages, commentary and reference material gathered around the text instead of scattered across a shelf. Free to read. Premium to study. The Bible is free in every public-domain translation, with notes, highlights, plans and the audio Bible, and your first week has every study tool open. Pillar Premium keeps them: $4.99/month or $39.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. TRANSLATIONS Read the New King James Version, King James Version, New Living Translation, NASB 2020, Christian Standard Bible and The Message — alongside the American Standard Version, Berean Standard Bible, World English Bible, Geneva 1599, Douay-Rheims, Darby and Young's Literal. In Spanish, the Reina-Valera 1909, Palabra de Dios para Ti and Nueva Biblia Viva; in Arabic, the Van Dyck. Compare any two in Parallel View. THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES Tap a word to see the Greek or Hebrew behind it, its Strong's number, a full lexicon entry from Abbott-Smith or Brown-Driver-Briggs, and every other place that word appears in Scripture. Interlinear reading shows the original word by word, parsed in plain English. WRITE IN IT — iPad AND APPLE PENCIL Bring back the margins. On iPad, an Apple Pencil writes anywhere on the page — beside a verse, across a phrase, down the edge of the column — and every stroke stays anchored to the verse it belongs to rather than to a spot on the screen. Change the type size, come back a year later: your notes are still beside the verse. Your finger still scrolls and selects; there is no mode to enter. Notes in the margin travel with the verse into every translation; notes written over the words stay in the translation and orientation you wrote them in, the way they would on a printed page. A STUDY LIBRARY AROUND THE VERSE Eight classic commentaries, five Bible dictionaries, Nave's and Torrey's topical indexes, and cross-references — every one reachable from the verse you are reading. The dictionaries and topical indexes need no connection. MAPS Tap a place name in the text and the map opens on it. Every chapter has one — the places named there, numbered in the order Scripture names them. The Atlas lists more than 1,200 places alphabetically. Where a location is uncertain, the map says so. Maps work with no connection at all. AUDIO Any chapter of the Berean Standard Bible read aloud by a human narrator, with lock-screen controls and three readers to choose from. YOUR OWN WORK Notes typed or handwritten with Apple Pencil, anchored to their verse and linkable to each other. Highlights in colors you name yourself. Reading plans with daily reminders and a streak that tracks your reading. Sermon notes with tap-to-replay timestamps and camera text capture. Everything exports as Markdown and stays yours, on your device and in your own iCloud. OFFLINE The complete King James Version ships inside the app, and every chapter you read is saved as you go — so Pillar keeps working with no connection at all. A note on what needs a connection: the New King James Version, NASB 2020, New Living Translation, Christian Standard Bible and The Message are shown live, as their licenses require, except chapters you write in. Commentaries and cross-references are fetched as you read. Audio is the Berean Standard Bible only.
