The YouVersion Bible App is the most installed Bible application by a wide margin, and it is free with no advertising and no paid tier — it is funded by Life.Church rather than by its users.
The library runs to well over two thousand Bible versions across more than a thousand languages, a scale no other app approaches. Versions can be downloaded for offline reading, and many carry professionally recorded audio, so a chapter can be listened to rather than read.
Reading plans are the feature most people stay for. Thousands are available, from three-day topical studies to full year-long plans through the whole Bible, and a plan can be taken with friends so a group reads in step and can comment on each day's passage.
Other features include verse highlighting, notes and bookmarks synced across devices, shareable verse images, a daily verse notification, and Bible App for Kids as a separate companion release.
Free on Android and iOS, with no purchases of any kind.
Life.Church, a US church, has published the YouVersion Bible App since 2008 and provides it free without advertising or in-app purchases.
