Lampstone is a calm place to read Scripture โ€” one verse at a time, chosen for how you actually feel. Open the app, swipe, and read. No account, no sign-up, no feed of other people. A FEED BY THEME Pick what is on your mind โ€” anxiety, sleep, grief, gratitude, forgiveness, money, loneliness, hope and more โ€” and swipe through verses gathered for it. Every card carries one short line under the verse: what it means, in plain words. The verse leads; the note stays out of its way. VERSE OF THE DAY, WHERE YOU WILL SEE IT Put today's verse on your lock screen and home screen. It changes once a day, quietly, and it works offline. KEEP THE ONES THAT STAY WITH YOU Save any verse with one tap and come back to it. Share a verse as an image when you want someone else to read it. PUBLIC DOMAIN TEXT Verses come from the King James Version and the World English Bible, both public domain. Switch between them in Settings. FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT IT The verse of the day, a widget and a daily set of verses are free โ€” permanently, not as a trial. Premium adds every theme, unlimited verses each day, all background packs, widget themes and streak history. SUBSCRIPTION Lampstone Premium is an auto-renewing subscription: $7.99 per week or $39.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings at any time.

You'll scroll 300 feet of feed today. Point it at something eternal. Amen Scroll is the Bible as a vertical feed: one verse fills the screen, and a swipe brings the next. The same thumb motion you already do all day, pointed at the Word instead. Amen Scroll is a subscription app: try everything free for 7 days with the yearly plan, or choose the monthly plan. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings. HERE IS WHAT IT DOES - One verse at a time. No walls of text, no tiny columns. Each verse gets the whole screen, set in type you can actually read, with four text sizes. - Tap the flame. When a verse lands, say Amen. The words of Jesus are set apart in red letter. - Voices on every verse. Read what others heard in the same verse, add your own, and pray for each other by name on the community prayer wall. Every space is moderated with report and block controls. - Deeper Study, one tap away. Verse-by-verse study drawn from a public-domain commentary shelf, and every study cites its sources with dated citations. Commentary is always labeled as commentary, never presented as scripture. - A streak with grace built in. Pick your own pace (3, 5, or 7 days a week) and grace days cover the misses. No shame mechanics. - Widgets. A verse on your home screen and lock screen. - Two themes. A warm dark mode for the 11pm scroll and an unbleached-paper day mode. Follows your system setting, or set it yourself. - Works offline. The full text ships on your device, so the feed works on a plane, in a basement, anywhere. - Ten translations, fully offline: modern English in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) and the World English Bible (WEB), the King James Version (KJV), the American Standard Version, Young's Literal and Darby, two Catholic Bibles with all 73 books (CPDV in modern English and the Douay-Rheims), plus Reina-Valera 1909 in Spanish and Louis Segond 1910 in French. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Voices and the prayer wall mean you don't scroll alone. Every study cites its sources, so you can check the commentary against the shelf it came from. The feed remembers where you left off. And the streak forgives. HONEST BILLING, STATED UP FRONT Amen Scroll is a subscription app. There is no locked teaser: the price is on the screen before you pay, the trial terms are on the screen before you start it, and everything the app does is included in one subscription. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings; you keep access through the period you paid for. Restore Purchases is always one tap away. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS - Amen Scroll Yearly: one payment a year, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. No payment due during the trial; cancel at least 24 hours before it ends and you pay nothing. - Amen Scroll Monthly: one payment a month. No trial on the monthly plan. - Prices are set by country. The price for your country is shown in In-App Purchases on this page, on the subscription screen and on the App Store purchase sheet before you subscribe. - Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, or at the end of the free trial if not cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends. - Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in App Store account settings. - Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a purchase completes.
