Bible Reading Apps44 reviews

The apps most people open to read Scripture every day. See the full bible reading apps guide →

Concise Bible

4.9★  Initiative.Global

Concise Bible arranges selected Scripture passages, introductions, images and audio into a short path through the biblical story in sixteen app languages—a generous free introduction that should lead into the whole Bible, not be mistaken for it.

SoapBox Super App

4.9★  SoapBox Super App / Alan Safahi

SoapBox combines a multilingual Bible, original-language helps, prayer, journaling, sermons, church management, giving, community and ORA AI in one fast-moving platform—but that breadth also concentrates unusually sensitive spiritual and organizational data.

Sword of the Spirit

4.9★  Nolan Ng / Couch Brotato

Sword of the Spirit turns Bible reading into an indie role-playing campaign with armor, virtues, enemies, quests and comprehension battles—an imaginative free experiment whose early-access reliability and data documentation still need work.

Bible Glide

4.0★  Nicholas Oxford / Bible Glide

Bible Glide starts with an unusually good idea—keep the biblical passage visible while reading, asking and discussing—but its ambitious AI and church platform comes with expansive analytics and a very young track record.

FJN – Find Jesus Now

4.9★  Ryan A. Patterson

Find Jesus Now packages a Bible reader, notes, audio, AI explanations, testimonies, sermons and studies around an evangelism mission—but much of the experience is a live web service with unresolved ad and privacy contradictions.

BibleShelf

4.9★  Hae Min Kim / Nerd Branch

BibleShelf replaces deadline-heavy plans with a gentler book-by-book tracker, synchronized web access, an ESV reader and simple memory verses—but it is still a young, English-only tool with little study guidance.

Bible Speed Read

4.9★  Seth Potter

A focused RSVP reader that can make a familiar chapter feel newly immediate, with thoughtful pacing controls and offline support—but only NIV and ESV are currently confirmed, and speed is not the same as understanding.

Eternity Bible

4.5★  André Pilch

A beautifully restrained, completely free Bible reader from independent designer André Pilch, letting you create unlimited context-specific “Bibles” with separate translations, themes, modes, type, and saved positions—now adding semantic search, audio, favorites, export, and multilingual breadth, while its iOS release and cross-store privacy disclosures lag behind the faster PWA and Android product.

YourBible

4.5★  GOOD NEWS for Everyone! · scout+redeem

A free Bible app designed to reduce barriers for curious and first-time readers through themes, life helps, notes, and stories—welcoming guidance with a narrower study ceiling.

Bound Bible

4.9★  Jonathan Hagen / codenhagen LLC

Bound Bible is the rare reader that means “free, offline and no account”—a calm iPhone Bible with clever physical-book cues, though translation documentation and privacy paperwork need tightening.

Cardinal Bible

4.9★  Jed Bridges

Cardinal is an unusually coherent Apple-only Bible reader: strong free Scripture and private study tools, with inexpensive Pro AI whose prompts still leave the device for Anthropic.

Daily Bible Reading Tracker

4.9★  Joschua Glau

Daily Bible Reading Tracker reduces the habit to one gentle question—did you spend time in Scripture today?—with a weekly view, home-screen widget, no account and declared zero collection, but no reading plan, passage log, notes, Android app or older-iPhone support.

Tov: a Bible without noise

4.9★  Trent Cowden

Tov removes feeds, accounts, ads, notifications, paywalls, and feature clutter from Bible reading while preserving fast navigation, history, bookmarks, and 30,000-plus cross-references—but it is English-only, Apple-only, and has not shipped a store update since April 2025.

Sola – Bible Reading Plans

4.8★  Samuel Jusaitis

A focused free companion builds genuinely flexible, word-count-balanced Bible plans and enriches them with maps, timelines, videos, sharing, and catch-up controls—but it is a scheduler around Scripture, not a full Bible reader, and sync and Android security disclosures remain weak.

Redeeming Time

4.9★  Discipleship Tech

A remarkably focused free app that turns spare minutes into Bible reading—but its tiny feature set, unresolved resume bug, and three-year update gap limit the recommendation.

iBIBLE by RevelationMedia

4.8★  RevelationMedia, Inc.

An ambitious, donor-funded visual Bible that makes Genesis and a growing harmonized Life of Christ free to watch—but the planned 280-episode whole-Bible project is still early, and “nothing added” should not be mistaken for a word-for-word translation.

BIBLEin365

4.4★  PROCLAIM Ventures LLC

BIBLEin365 combines a free whole-Bible schedule, daily audio, commentary, and an evangelical social community—but mandatory accounts, a very large app, and sharply conflicting privacy labels complicate the invitation.

Ascend

4.8★  Pharah LLC

Ascend turns short Bible lessons into a game with an evolving phoenix, XP, relics, streaks, leaderboards, group Crusades, trivia, and prayer—engaging by design, but unusually aggressive about energy, rewards, subscriptions, and social data.

Scroll The Bible

4.8★  JCBSN LLC

An unusually effective infinite-scroll Bible reader turns the reflex behind social media into time in Scripture—but its most ambitious study features are AI-generated and subscription-only.

CBN Bible

4.9★  The Christian Broadcasting Network, Inc.

CBN’s completely free Bible reader pairs multiple translations, NLT and NASB audio, 365 devotions, plans, notes, and a new Prayer Wall—an unusually generous package with a distinctly CBN ministry voice.

Gideon Bible App

4.9★  The Gideons International Global

A free, ad-free, purchase-free Bible from the 1899 ministry that put a Testament in your hotel nightstand, carrying KJV, ESV and 2,200-plus translations with dramatized audio - and a privacy story that Apple and Google cannot agree on.

Brilliant Bible

4.8★  Brilliant Illustrations Inc.

Brilliant Bible pairs an original image with every verse of the King James Version, 32,357 in all, and keeps the price entirely inside the App Store paywall. It is the most visually ambitious Bible reader on either store - and the least transparent about what it costs.

Deaf Bible App

4.8★  Deaf Bible Society, Inc.

The Deaf Bible App is free and carries more sign languages than any other Scripture product on earth. It also carries a complete Bible in exactly one of them - and the vendor says so on its own homepage.

Spark Bible

4.8★  Spark Bible LLC

A genuinely free Bible reader that hangs curated video teaching from roughly 80 speakers off every chapter, then sells AI study tools on top. The reading layer is the reason to install it - the Plus tier is the reason to read the App Store page twice.

Literal Word

4.9★  Nicholas Honda

Literal Word is a five-translation, word-for-word Bible reader with Greek and Hebrew lexicons attached to every word, free on iOS, Android and the web with no ads and no in-app purchases. It is also the app that gives you NASB 1995 without giving you NASB 2020 - and it never says who pays for any of it.

Mere Bible

4.6★  Dwell App, LLC

NeuBible, the most admired minimal reader on iOS, was picked up by the Dwell team, renamed Mere Bible in March 2026, and stripped of its paid translation unlock. Everything is free now, which makes the interesting question not what it costs but what it still refuses to do - and the answer is nearly everything.

YouVersion

4.9★  Life.Church

The default Bible app for the entire planet - a billion installs, three thousand translations, and a streak counter that has changed more devotional habits than any printed plan ever did.

Olive Tree Bible App

4.8★  HarperCollins Christian Publishing

The clean, modular study Bible that lives quietly between YouVersion and Logos - a workhorse you barely notice until you try to leave it.

Bible Gateway app

3.7★  HarperCollins Christian Publishing

The mobile companion to the web Bible everyone already uses - with a paid reference library that punches well above its $4.99/mo weight.

Blue Letter Bible

4.9★  Blue Letter Bible (501(c)(3) non-profit)

A donation-supported mobile study suite with Strong's numbers, Hebrew and Greek lexicons, parsing tags, and a stack of classical commentaries - the closest thing to free Logos that exists on a phone.

Bible Hub

4.9★  Bible Hub

A free mobile front door to one of the deepest study libraries on the open web - and the closest thing to Logos you can get without paying a cent.

Tecarta Bible

4.9★  Tecarta, Inc.

A clean, modern reader with an a-la-carte library of study Bibles and commentaries - the app for readers who want Olive Tree’s depth without Olive Tree’s interface.

BibleProject App

4.9★  BibleProject (Crossway Foundation, dba)

The official mobile companion to bibleproject.com - animated theology videos, daily reading guides, and the full podcast catalog in one ad-free pocket app.

The First Verse

4.4★  The First Verse

A small, opinionated Bible app built around a single idea - that the first thing you read each morning should not be the news feed.

EGW Writings (Adventist Bible)

4.7★  Ellen G. White Estate, Inc.

The unofficial standard scripture-and-writings companion for Seventh-day Adventists worldwide - and the easiest way to read Ellen G. White’s entire library on a phone.

Holy Bible KJV

4.9★  Various (Tecarta, Olive Tree, Daily Bible Inc., et al.)

The category of KJV-first Bible apps has quietly become the favorite of readers who want the 1611 cadence without the translation buffet - here is how the leaders stack up.

Read Scripture

4.8★  BibleProject (Tim Mackie + Jon Collins)

A 365-day chronological Bible reading plan with a BibleProject animated video at every book and theme transition - quietly the most-completed serious reading plan on the internet.

ESV Bible

4.7★  Crossway

Crossway’s official home for the English Standard Version - a clean free reader with surprisingly good audio, wrapped around the translation Reformed and evangelical readers reach for first.

CSB Bible

4.6★  B&H Publishing (Lifeway)

The official home of the Christian Standard Bible - a free, offline reader with audio and the award-winning Holman study system, from the publisher of the translation.

NASB Bible

4.9★  The Lockman Foundation

The Lockman Foundation’s official home for the New American Standard Bible - a clean, free reader for the translation word-for-word study readers trust most.

Amplified Bible

4.9★  The Lockman Foundation

The Bible that unpacks the original languages right on the page - expanding key words with synonyms and clarifying brackets so English readers can see the fuller meaning underneath.

NKJV Bible

4.8★  Thomas Nelson

Thomas Nelson’s official home for the New King James Version - the modern update that keeps the dignity and cadence of the King James while making it readable today.

Reina Valera Bible

4.8★  Various (Reina-Valera 1960)

The Reina-Valera is the Spanish-speaking world’s King James - and there are free apps built entirely around it. Here’s what the dedicated Reina Valera Bible apps offer, and the most trustworthy way to read the RVR on your phone.

Strong's Concordance

4.8★  Watchdis Group

A focused word-study app that turns the King James text into a tappable concordance - every word linked to its Strong's number, original-language definition, and every other verse it appears in.

Bible Study Software32 reviews

Heavy-duty study tools for pastors, seminarians, and serious students. See the full bible study software guide →

VerseLink Bible

4.9★  Roman Doroshchuk

VerseLink Bible keeps Scripture, sermon notes, highlights and original-language helps entirely on your device with no account, tracking, ads or subscription—but local-first privacy makes manual backup your responsibility.

Ezra Bible App

4.9★  Tobias Klein

A serious free, open-source study workspace built around topical verse collections, notes and the SWORD module ecosystem, now spanning desktop and mobile—but resource licensing varies, sync depends on Dropbox, and its 2022 privacy template contradicts the current App Store disclosure.

Rava: Discover God’s Story

4.9★  Waha

A free, multilingual facilitator that lets almost anyone press play and guide a Discovery Bible Study with little preparation—excellent for reproducible group participation, but not a replacement for wise leadership, contextual interpretation or a modern privacy policy.

Exegesis

4.3★  CV Concierge LLC

A remarkably ambitious Bible-study beta joining original-language taps, historic Christian sources, reference maps, sermon transcription, and AI analysis across mobile and desktop—free for now, explicitly unfinished, and theologically located.

Forge

4.4★  PJ Ventures

A free, local-first macOS Bible notebook that binds atomic observations to verses while preserving every note as ordinary Markdown in a folder you choose—excellent ownership and focus, with a young v0.2.4 product, two translations, no mobile app, and no public source code.

RockReader

4.7★  Melior PFG. LLC

A free, ad-free Bible reading, study, journaling, and small-circle community app with unusually clear privacy controls—rich enough to replace several devotional tools, though its newness, U.S.-only privacy posture, social safeguards, licensed text dependencies, and interpretive boundaries deserve careful evaluation.

Scripture App Builder

4.8★  SIL Global

SIL’s free desktop builder turns translated Scripture, audio, video, reading plans, study notes, and localized design into Android, iOS, and web apps without conventional coding—exceptionally capable for language communities, provided the publisher can handle rights, testing, stores, safety, and long-term maintenance.

Xiphos

4.5★  Xiphos Project · CrossWire community

A free, open-source desktop Bible study environment built on The SWORD Project—powerful offline research for Linux and Windows users who accept an older interface.

ARMA Courses

4.9★  ARMA Studios LLC

ARMA makes serious Bible and theology teaching approachable through short, energetic courses—valuable for guided learners, but narrower and less transparent than a seminary library.

Storyverse Institute

4.9★  Storyverse Ministries / Storyline Project

Storyverse makes Bible, theology, soul care and ministry training approachable through 200+ videos, community and cohorts—but its age, collection and deletion disclosures conflict too sharply for informed enrollment.

Bible Notes

2.3★  Concierge Contacts PTY LTD

Bible Notes can insert a passage as soon as you type its reference and connect written notes to sermon audio—but weak ratings, online dependence, data-loss reports, and inconsistent subscription language make it a pilot tool rather than a trusted archive.

inWORD Bible

4.8★  PC Shareware, Inc. / Philip Kapusta

inWORD Bible connects each verse to an unusually large library of commentaries, interlinears, maps, articles, audio, video and song for only $3.99 a year on mobile—but much of that abundance depends on an internet connection, mixed-source curation and aging privacy documentation.

Discover the Bible

4.4★  discoverapp.org · Ian Coleman · Gravid Apps

Discover is a free, multilingual Discovery Bible Study toolkit designed for groups and low-connectivity contexts, with text, audio, downloadable story sets, and memorable questions—but its simple facilitation model needs good safeguarding, contextual interpretation, and clearer data governance.

Bible Brief

4.7★  Bible Literacy Foundation, Inc.

A coherent free path through the Bible’s big story with 246 lessons, audio, quizzes, and game mechanics—but its explicit Baptist frame and unresolved age and privacy gaps matter.

Bible Engagement Project

4.2★  Assemblies of God National Office · Gospel Publishing House

An extraordinary free, age-aligned church curriculum with three years of material and 600-plus resources—but privacy contradictions and Android failures matter.

The Word One to One

4.9★  The Word One to One / MakeKnown

A polished, completely free guide for reading John and Acts with a friend—excellent for a trusted conversation, but narrow in scope and incomplete on app privacy and safeguarding.

Bible Portal

4.6★  Bible Portal / Crossmap

A remarkably broad free library of Bible versions, classic commentaries, dictionaries, devotionals, sermons, and maps—but its mobile app and legal documentation look frozen in time.

TheosU

4.8★  Theos University

A polished charismatic-Evangelical video library with 100-plus approachable Bible and theology courses—but subscription language, culture-war framing, and the separate seminary’s status require precision.

WordGo

3.9★  Bible Study Fellowship

Bible Study Fellowship’s rebuilt app offers dozens of serious, free courses for individuals and groups—but its 2025 replacement removed beloved old features and is still earning back trust.

Bible Strong

4.8★  Stéphane Montlouis-Calixte / LeStudio316

An ambitious bilingual, open-source study Bible with Strong's links, parallel texts, notes, audio, and offline resources—remarkably capable, but rougher in privacy and pricing disclosure.

Waha: Discovery Bible Study

4.9★  Waha / Kingdom Strategies LLC

A free audio facilitator that lets an ordinary person lead Scripture discussion in 63 languages—even offline or in a restricted nation—with a strong multiplication method and privacy documentation that has not kept pace with its security claims.

Aleph Beta

4.8★  The Hoffberger Institute for Text Study, Inc.

Aleph Beta teaches Torah and Tanakh through animated close readings, podcasts, lectures, transcripts, and study guides from an explicitly Jewish perspective—exceptionally engaging, but expensive, interpretively distinctive, and poorly served by stale privacy and age documentation.

The Study Bible

4.9★  Grace to You

Grace to You puts three Bible translations and more than 3,000 John MacArthur sermons in a genuinely useful free app, then sells the complete Study Bible notes once for $5.99—not another subscription.

Catena Bible & Commentaries

4.9★  David Salib (AD30, Inc.)

Catena puts the Church Fathers underneath every verse of a 76-book Bible and charges nothing for it. It does the job of a $1,454.72 print set on a phone screen - provided you stay in the Gospels and the Epistles.

Logos Bible Software

4.9★  Faithlife

The industry-standard Bible research platform for pastors, seminarians, and serious students - the software that respects your work.

e-Sword

4.8★  Rick Meyers

The free desktop Bible study app that has quietly outlasted every flashy competitor since 2000 - and still gives away more raw study horsepower than most paid apps.

Accordance Bible Software

4.8★  Accordance Bible Software (Oak Tree Software)

The Mac-born academic Bible platform with the fastest original-language search syntax in the business - and a library deep enough for a PhD thesis.

AndBible

4.6★  AndBible Open Source Project (community)

A community-built Android Bible study app with no ads, no tracking, no upsells, and access to the entire SWORD Project module library - and somehow it’s completely free.

MySword Bible

4.5★  Riversoft

A free Android Bible study app with hundreds of translations, commentaries, and dictionaries baked in - and the offline reach that quietly made it the go-to study tool for bivocational pastors who can’t buy Logos.

Verbum

4.8★  Faithlife

The Catholic edition of Logos Bible Software - same engine, same dataset graph, but the library is curated for Catholic study from the Vulgate forward.

Glo Bible

4.2★  Immersion Digital

A Bible study suite built around photography, video, and virtual tours instead of commentary stacks - the visual learner’s answer to Logos.

Filament Bible

3.8★  Tyndale House Publishers

Tyndale’s clever free app that points your phone’s camera at a printed Bible page and instantly layers a full study Bible - notes, maps, devotionals, and videos - on top of it.

AI Bible Apps22 reviews

Conversational AI for verse lookup, devotionals, and faith questions. See the full ai bible apps guide →

Faith: Scripture Meditation

4.9★  Christopher Samp

Faith turns a Bible passage or personal concern into a narrated meditation with Scripture, breathing and music—an inviting format whose undisclosed AI data path deserves more scrutiny than its local-storage promise suggests.

Gamaliel

4.9★  Beloved Studios, LLC / The Gamaliel Project

Gamaliel pairs a Bible reader with free AI questions, source links, audience profiles and publicly inspectable theological prompts—an unusually transparent experiment whose deployed model, retention and store disclosures still require independent caution.

Agentic Jesus

4.9★  Agentic Jesus LLC / Josiah Wolf

Agentic Jesus is a proactive Claude-powered faith companion with Bible chat, adaptive devotionals, prayer memory, voice and follow-ups—and its unusually clear data map also shows why intimate spiritual AI needs firm human boundaries.

Lumenology

4.9★  CraftedPath LLC

Lumenology combines a multi-translation Bible with cited AI research, interlinear data, historical commentary and passage tools in a clean workspace—but citations reduce risk rather than removing it, and every important claim still needs verification.

Illuminate Bible

3.7★  Chris Lee

Illuminate is a clean, free offline Bible reader with chapter context, reflection prompts and tap-any-verse AI questions—but its “always grounded” promise is stronger than public evidence can support.

My BibleVerse

4.9★  Craig Drury

My BibleVerse turns an emotion or written concern into a suggested Bible passage, reflection and AI-written prayer, then saves the moment into a daily habit—but its costly weekly plan, intimate data processing and confident personalization claims require discernment.

ScOAR

4.9★  Venante Ducrepin

A free, focused AI tool that translates an ordinary-life situation into several Scripture suggestions, explanations and practical steps—approachable and transparent about many limits, but undermined by a direct contradiction over whether guest queries leave the device.

Dabar

4.0★  Michael Clarke

A calm AI-assisted Scripture reflection app that turns an honest question into a Mirror, full Bible text, Wisdom Bridge, and Threshold Question while saving a private journal—more transparent about model limits and crisis boundaries than many competitors, but still processes sensitive content, has zero public App Store ratings, and quotes a lower web price than Apple’s current subscriptions.

Velora

4.5★  Everywai Inc.

A new Bible app that listens during sermons, surfaces passages, and extends church teaching into the week—impressive concept with substantial AI and privacy stakes.

Polaris Bible

4.9★  Jonathan Hensley / KnoxBoost LLC

Polaris is an unusually transparent conservative evangelical AI Bible companion with a capable reader and low pricing—valuable for its intended audience precisely because its lens is explicit, not because guardrails make AI infallible.

Hey Samaritan

4.9★  Samaritan Labs LLC

Hey Samaritan offers unusually calm, voice-first Christian reflection for anxious moments—but costly subscriptions, an age-label conflict and vague AI-provider disclosures require sober limits.

TheoSumma AI

4.8★  The First Model for Programming and Artificial Intelligence Co.

TheoSumma is an ambitious Christian AI workspace with Scripture citations, theological traditions, expert personas, research modes, and document analysis—but its answers still need verification, sensitive prompts deserve caution, and the public privacy story is inconsistent across platforms.

Ecclesia Bible

4.9★  Tanzanite Industries, LLC · attributed publicly to Albert Renshaw / Apps4Life

Ecclesia surrounds a free Protestant Bible with AI-produced Hebrew and Greek entries, nearly 50,000 correlations, symbolism, contextual notes, and translational variants—but it supplies almost none of the source, model, review, correction, or privacy evidence those claims require.

Eirene Christian Well-Being AI

4.2★  Eirene Wellness Innovations LLC

A thoughtful Christian AI combines Scripture-guided conversation, journaling, voice, Daily Flow, breath prayer, and ambient audio—but expensive weekly billing and intimate health-and-faith data make boundaries essential.

iEvangelize

4.9★  Tino Chiwara / ARIYO, LLC

An ambitious free evangelism trainer with AI voice practice, courses, challenges, community, and follow-up—innovative enough to help, sensitive enough to demand strong boundaries.

Bible Answers AI

4.8★  Sabbath Ventures LLC / Bible Answers AI LLC

A fast, approachable Bible-question chatbot that links answers to Scripture—useful for finding a starting point, but far less transparent than a serious study tool should be.

CrossTalk: Bible Chat + Prayer

4.9★  Manifest Automation LLC

The original BibleChat.ai has become CrossTalk: a free AI Bible assistant, reading-plan app, and prayer-centered Christian social network—supported by voluntary sponsors, with important privacy and accuracy limits.

Aura Bible

4.9★  AURA VENTURES LIMITED

A subscription AI Bible study and prayer app that affirms the Westminster Confession in detail, sells nine subscription products between $4.99 a week and $69.99 a year, and names not one person behind it - the theology is documented, the people are not.

Bible Chat

4.9★  Apps Momentum

The category-defining AI Bible chatbot - 25 million downloads, a slick freemium app, and a real question about whether you can trust an LLM with theology.

FaithTime.ai

4.8★  FaithTime

A 2024-launched AI habit tracker that picks your next chapter, writes the devotional, and nudges your accountability circle - the first serious attempt to remix YouVersion with a language model.

BibleGPT

3.9★  BibleGPT (independent)

A small, scrappy web app that turns a GPT model into a 24/7 Bible Q&A partner - useful, occasionally wrong, and surprisingly easy to embed on your own site.

FaithGPT

4.0★  FaithGPT

A small, distinctive AI Bible app that lets you converse with Jesus, Paul, David, and Mary as personas - interesting, useful in places, and worth approaching with eyes open.

Prayer Apps37 reviews

Guided prayer, daily liturgy, and Christian meditation. See the full prayer apps guide →

Prayer Global

4.9★  Gospel Ambition, Inc.

Prayer Global turns an enormous missions-prayer goal into one guided minute at a time, with unusually useful church relays—best when its maps and metrics serve prayer rather than define people or measure devotion.

Reformed Hours of Prayer

4.9★  Boldt & Copeland LLC

Reformed Hours of Prayer gives fixed-hour devotion a distinctly confessional Reformed shape, pairing Scripture-heavy offices with audio, reminders and shared presence—an excellent free habit builder when its theological specificity and data questions are understood.

Common Prayer Canada

4.7★  Prayer Book Society of Canada / Gregory Johnston

Common Prayer Canada turns the 1962 Canadian Book of Common Prayer into complete, date-aware daily offices without flattening its printed character—a remarkably generous free app whose accuracy and privacy details still merit attention.

Inner Room

3.8★  24-7 Prayer

Inner Room’s 2026 rebuild is a calm, account-free place for personal prayer cards and Scripture-rooted guidance—but old-app users lose familiar timers, and its privacy story is more complex than “your prayers stay private.”

Pray the Bible

4.5★  Heath Barker / PTB Prayer App

Pray the Bible turns personal needs, biblical topics, books, emotions and headlines into Scripture-linked prayer journeys—but its unusually ambitious AI and wellbeing features require unusually careful privacy and discernment.

School Prayer Challenge

4.9★  School Prayer Challenge, Inc.

A free, donor-supported map that turns a broad desire to pray for schools into three named commitments and a visible nationwide goal—useful structure, with public counters that require careful interpretation.

Champion Prayer

4.9★  David Harrelson

A voice-first social prayer journal that can make intercession feel personal across distance, with public and private circles and answered-request tracking—but highly sensitive stories, recordings and images demand stronger privacy documentation and careful group leadership.

Prayer Library

4.9★  Contemplative Software

A completely free, ad-free collection that helps people find words for prayer by naming an emotion, then turns those discoveries into lists, notes and a gentle daily rhythm—but its recommendation method and sensitive-data practices need fuller documentation.

Simplified Prayer

4.9★  QNE LLC

A genuinely free prayer organizer for remembering people, grouping requests, focusing one need at a time and following up on answers—calm and practical, though “private” marketing needs to be read beside broad cloud-data and App Store disclosures.

still: pray together & gospel

4.9★  Pavel Brutsky-Stempkovsky

An ambitious iPhone prayer environment combining shared requests, a Screen Time app lock, journey visualization, journaling and personalized devotionals—more coherent than its crowded feature list suggests, but expensive, new and currently missing an accessible official privacy page.

3-16 Prayer Network

4.5★  Andrei Baburin

A free global prayer network with groups, ministry pages, messaging and live voice broadcasts—ambitious and multilingual, but public documentation is too thin for the sensitive user content and community moderation involved.

World Prayer

4.9★  Every Home for Christ / World Literature Crusade

World Prayer turns every nation into a scheduled, informed prayer practice with no subscription—a strong missions tool whose broad 2018 privacy notice needs modern app detail.

PRAYR Community

4.9★  PrayWC, LLC

PRAYR gives small groups and ministries a focused place for requests, “I prayed” encouragement, updates, answered-prayer feeds, Scripture cards, direct messages, and private lists—but its most meaningful content can also expose illness, abuse, family conflict, location, minors, and third parties under a broad 2023 policy and user-content license.

A Simple Pause

4.9★  Spiritual Formation Society of Arizona · MSW Ministries

A Simple Pause is a genuinely free, ad-free guide to seven contemplative Christian practices in English, Spanish, and Chinese—but the exercises need Scripture context and human discernment, iOS development has been quiet, and Google’s “no data collected” label conflicts with the ministry’s Firebase Analytics disclosure.

Prayse - Prayer Journal

4.9★  Sahak Arzoumanian · two-person Prayse team

A friendly prayer organizer combines folders, categories, reminders, answered status, guided Prayer Room, people, voice, and optional Pro themes—but store surfaces and privacy disclosures contradict one another.

Reflect: Christian Mindfulness

4.9★  Neill Bowler · Christian Mindfulness

A small volunteer-built app offers a surprisingly thoughtful library of Jesus-centered guided audio, lectio divina, imaginative contemplation, lament, and selectable music at no cost—but sparse governance, English-only content, store-data disclosures, and mental-health limits matter.

Change The Map

4.9★  Venture Expeditions · Change The Map · Mighty Networks

A free evangelical prayer community organizes weekly intercession, learning, worker updates, and country spaces for the Buddhist world—but its social reach and sensitive ministry context require unusually careful dignity, moderation, and operational security.

Christ Centered Tribe

4.9★  Christ Centered Tribe · The McLagan Group LLC · VidApp

A polished subscription library joins guided Scripture meditation, nature video, courses, challenges, and Christian EFT tapping—but spiritual encouragement and promising complementary evidence should not be mistaken for validated mental-health treatment.

My Prayer Room

4.9★  Creative Park Media LLC

A genuinely free, calm prayer-list app keeps entries on the device, rotates one request at a time, counts prayers, and marks answers—but long-text bugs, weak backup options, and inconsistent platform disclosures limit how much you should entrust to it.

ThyWord

4.8★  ThyWord Inc.

An inventive voice-first prayer app that matches spoken concerns with NRSV passages—but unclear journal storage, contradictory privacy claims, and oracle-like language demand caution.

Every Moment Holy

4.0★  Brentwood Press LLC / Rabbit Room Press

Beautiful contemporary prayers for ordinary joys, work, grief, and transition, made portable and shareable—yet the app experience, catalog promises, prices, and privacy disclosures need substantial repair.

Encountering Peace

4.6★  Encountering Peace / Subsplash

A donor-funded library of gentle, explicitly Christian meditations with no subscription gate—substantive and generous, but weakened by a disruptive platform migration and unclear journal privacy.

Live From Rest

4.9★  Live From Rest / Steve Smith

A completely free, unusually configurable Christian meditation app from a small family ministry—excellent for quiet daily use, though its privacy and website documentation lag far behind the product.

Pray First

4.9★  Church of the Highlands

A genuinely free, focused prayer companion from Church of the Highlands—excellent for evangelical guided prayer, but its synced prayer-list data is disclosed inconsistently.

Dear God – Prayer Diary

4.9★  Namu / Analog Studio

A gentle visual prayer journal where every letter grows a flower—beautiful habit design, but private prayers live on company servers and public letters can be reused in marketing.

VOM App

4.9★  The Voice of the Martyrs, Inc.

Voice of the Martyrs turns a broad ministry library into one free daily-prayer app—specific names, places, stories, books, films, radio, and group resources with no premium tier.

Pause

4.9★  Ransomed Heart Ministries

A free, donor-funded prayer app built on one thing: a short guided pause, read by John Eldredge, in one, three, five or ten minutes. It does that one thing better than apps ten times its size - and it does almost nothing else.

Prayminder

4.9★  Prayminder AB

Prayminder is a Swedish husband-and-wife prayer-list app that keeps your requests on the phone and taps you on the shoulder through the day. It is free with no tier structure and no published list cap - and the reason to read on is what keeping prayers on the device costs you.

Soulspace

4.9★  Soulspace Co.

A family operation in Bend, Oregon has shipped Scripture-based audio prayer since December 2019, narrated almost entirely by one voice. The free tier is one prayer a day with no ads - but the same subscription costs $20 more a year if you buy it on the website instead of inside the app.

Pray.com

4.8★  Pray.com, Inc.

The biggest non-denominational Protestant prayer app on the market, built around audio you can fall asleep to - and a celebrity bench most competitors cannot touch.

Abide

4.9★  Carpenters Code

Abide has quietly become the favorite of Christians who tried Calm or Headspace and wished the meditations would just open a Bible - voice-led, scripture-anchored, and built for the moments when your nervous system needs help before your theology does.

Lectio 365

4.8★  24-7 Prayer International

A free daily prayer app from the international 24-7 Prayer movement that has quietly become the rhythm-keeper for Christians who wanted contemplative prayer to actually stick - and discovered it could.

PrayerMate

4.8★  Andy Geers / Discipleship Tech

The quiet workhorse of evangelical intercession - a structured, list-driven prayer organizer that has earned a near-cult following among people who actually pray for everyone they said they would.

Pray As You Go

4.5★  Jesuits in Britain

A free 11-minute daily audio prayer from the Jesuits in Britain, unchanged for two decades - and quietly one of the most loved prayer apps on either side of the Tiber.

Doxa

4.1★  Doxa Inc.

A newer Christian app that wraps worship music, guided prayer, and topical reflection into one daily flow - and is quietly winning over readers who found Hallow too Catholic and Glorify too lean.

Echo Prayer

4.8★  Echo Ministries

A small, beautifully designed prayer-list app from Echo Ministries that quietly does one job better than almost anyone else - turning your prayer life into something you actually return to.

Soultime

4.7★  Soultime

A Christian meditation and mental wellness app that listens for how you feel first and recommends a Scripture-anchored session second - and that order is the whole point.

Accountability & Filtering Apps25 reviews

Screen accountability, content filtering, and recovery programs - what each one actually blocks, and what it cannot. See the full accountability & filtering apps guide →

Gabb

3.8★  Gabb Wireless, Inc.

Gabb is not an app you install, it is a phone, a watch and a cellular plan you sign up for, and the safety comes from the operating system refusing to have a browser or an app store at all. The catch is that the interesting number is not the sticker price on the handset - it is the twenty-four monthly bills stapled to it.

Light Phone III

3.5★  The Light Phone Inc.

The Light Phone III is a deliberately crippled 5G handset with no browser, no app store and no feed, built by a company that means every word of it - and priced at $899, on a store that still calls it a pre-order seventeen months after the first units shipped.

Sabbath Space

3.8★  Maker Studios LLC / Vargas family

Sabbath Space pairs an app blocker with a physical NFC tag so ending a focus session takes more than one impulsive tap—but the subscription value and contradictory privacy disclosures deserve a careful look.

Limit Phone

4.0★  Limit / Richard Gill

A low-cost Android blocker that uses Device Owner control, a protected Firefox browser, delayed unlocks, and family PINs to make restrictions unusually difficult to bypass - but beta software with management-level access, a technical installation, unfinished scheduling features, and contradictory device guidance deserves a backup and a cautious trial.

Soul Refiner

3.6★  Soul Refiner LLC / KingdomWorks Studios

Soul Refiner gives churches cinematic courses and group structure for pornography, betrayal and marriage—useful discipleship material that requires clinical, safeguarding and privacy guardrails it cannot supply alone.

Dr. Doug Weiss Gameplan

4.4★  Heart to Heart Counseling Center · Douglas Weiss, Ph.D.

Dr. Doug Weiss Gameplan offers men a free five-session Clean Class, daily recovery readings, short videos, podcasts, Bible studies, quotes, and topical action plans for pornography and unwanted sexual behavior—but it is a publisher-led resource app, not private therapy, diagnosis, accountability software, crisis care, or evidence that one contested clinical framework fits every user.

Life After Pornography Coach

4.9★  Get Your Marriage On LLC

A structured ten-week self-help course applies acceptance and commitment therapy ideas through video, practice, journaling, and peer support—but a four-year update gap, vague sensitive-data disclosures, and no evidence on this app’s outcomes limit a confident recommendation.

Live Free Community

4.9★  Live Free Ministries / Mighty Networks

A warm, active Christian peer network for adult men seeking freedom from pornography and unwanted sexual behavior—valuable human connection, but far less private and clinically bounded than its marketing language suggests.

Bark

4.2★  Bark Technologies Inc

Bark watches a child's texts, email, YouTube and 30-plus platforms and alerts a parent only when something looks wrong, a genuinely different bargain from reading everything. Then its own support pages tell you that on an iPhone it cannot see Snapchat, Discord, Instagram, TikTok, Skype or Roblox - and that is the whole ballgame.

Qustodio

4.2★  Qustodio Technologies SL

Qustodio ships two App Store listings: the parent app a family buys holds 4.2 from 8,930 ratings, and the child client it installs holds 2.2 from 7,624. The gap is the most interesting thing about this product - and only part of it is a verdict on the software.

Kidslox

4.3★  Kidslox Trading Limited

A cross-platform screen-time manager with a hard cap of ten supervised devices and an unusually candid set of vendor-published caveats about what iOS will not let it do - starting with the fact that a blocked iPhone app is still there.

Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 for Families

4.5★  Cloudflare Inc.

Two numbers in a router and every device on the network stops resolving malware and adult-content domains, free, with no account and no device limit. The catch is everything DNS cannot see - and Cloudflare's own developer documentation is where you find it.

one sec

4.8★  riedel.wtf apps S.L.

one sec does not block anything and does not report to anyone. It makes you breathe for a few seconds first, and its own peer-reviewed study found 36 percent of people put the phone down at that point - a real effect that is still not protection.

ClearSpace

4.7★  Clearspace Technologies, Inc.

ClearSpace puts a timed breath, a note to yourself, or camera-counted push-ups between your thumb and Instagram, then pulls you out when your session expires - and every gate ends in a door you are allowed to walk through.

LivingRoom for Families

4.6★  LivingRoom App, LLC

A parental monitoring app that gates internet access behind continuous screen recording, then has an AI look at what appears - the most invasive approach in this category, and the most complete. Whether that is right for your household is the entire decision.

Covenant Eyes

4.3★  Covenant Eyes

The oldest name in accountability software, rebuilt around screenshots of what is actually on your screen rather than a list of URLs - with one platform caveat on iOS that decides whether it is right for you.

Ever Accountable

4.1★  Ever Accountable

An accountability-first app that reports what you look at to someone who knows you, rather than trying to lock the internet down - which is either exactly what you want or exactly the wrong tool.

Accountable2You

3.6★  Accountable2You

Twenty years of monitoring-only accountability software running on six platforms, Linux and Chromebook included - built on a deliberate refusal to block anything at all.

Canopy

3.7★  Netspark, Inc.

A filter that edits the page instead of shutting the door - AI removes explicit images and video as content loads, leaving the rest of the site working.

Safe Surfer

4.0★  Safe Surfer Ltd

A New Zealand charitable-trust DNS filter that gives away the part most vendors charge for - and then declines to tell you what the paid tier costs.

Plucky Filter

3.8★  Plucky

A free do-it-yourself filter that blocks every image and video on the internet by default, then makes each exception sit out a waiting period you chose in advance - the most interesting idea in this category, and the hardest to set up.

Tech Lockdown

4.3★  Tech Lockdown, LLC

A web dashboard that combines DNS filtering, device-level configuration profiles and VPN blocking into one locked policy - built for the person who already knows how to defeat an ordinary filter.

Relay

4.9★  Relay Health Inc.

A therapist-designed group programme rather than a filter or a monitor - private same-gender accountability groups, interactive video lessons and live Zoom calls, with nothing anywhere in it that blocks a website.

The Freedom Fight

4.8★  The Freedom Fight

Not a filter and not a monitor, but a staged discipleship curriculum that treats compulsive porn use as a formation problem rather than a network problem - and asks for seven months to prove it.

LeadMeNot

4.7★  CJ2 Solutions, LLC

A cross-platform blocker whose distinguishing idea is that switching it off needs somebody else to say yes - priced sensibly, well reviewed by a small number of people, and documented far too thinly.

Church Giving & Donation Platforms7 reviews

Online giving, text-to-give, kiosks and non-cash gifts - and what each one actually costs per donation. See the full church giving & donation platforms guide →

Outpour

4.9★  Epaphroditus Corp.

Outpour brings missionary profiles, newsletters, prayer, messaging and fundraising into one free platform for ministries and supporters—generous software that also concentrates donor, location and spiritual data requiring disciplined privacy choices.

My Well Giving

4.6★  My Well Ministry

My Well pairs a free donor app with nonprofit-owned church giving, public $49–$499 monthly tiers and pass-through processing—but churches still pay interchange, 30¢ per gift and must validate the savings with their own statement.

Zeffy

4.0★  Zeffy

The only platform in this category that charges a church nothing whatsoever - no monthly fee, no transaction fee, no card fee - and pays for itself by asking your donors for a tip instead, which makes this a pastoral decision rather than a financial one.

SecureGive

4.2★  SecureGive

Founded in 2004 by a pastor who put the first giving kiosk in an American church, and still selling to churches on a published rate card rather than a sales call - with a transaction cap on both priced tiers that decides whether it fits you.

Overflow

4.2★  Overflow

The one giving platform built around the gifts most churches quietly turn away - appreciated stock, crypto and donor-advised funds - sold on an annual subscription whose real price is published nowhere.

Anedot

4.0★  Anedot, Inc.

The only platform here that processes its own payments rather than reselling somebody else's - no monthly fee, no contract, and a card rate that quietly pays for both.

Continue To Give

3.6★  Continue to Give, Inc

A modular all-in-one for small churches and missionaries - seven giving methods, a member database, real fund accounting - built by a missionary who could not afford the alternatives, and undermined by three contradictory published fee schedules.

Devotional Apps49 reviews

Daily devotionals, reading plans, and morning quiet-time companions. See the full devotional apps guide →

365 Christian Men

4.9★  365 Christian Men LLC

365 Christian Men delivers short, memorable stories of faith and courage across history, now inside the broader 365 Christian Stories ministry—most useful as a free conversation starter when biography is sourced, contextualized and never confused with Scripture.

Contagious Disciple Making

4.9★  Contagious Disciple Making

The Contagious Disciple Making app gathers free stories, training, Scripture lists and community tools around Discovery Bible Study and DMM—useful as a doorway when coaching, local church accountability and participant safety remain larger than the app.

Biblegram

4.0★  Vocabulous US, Inc.

Biblegram turns up to three daily verses into calm cryptogram puzzles, then follows each solution with reflection and a journal prompt—an appealing Scripture habit whose unidentified translation and ad-tech-heavy privacy policy deserve a closer look.

Family ID Assessment

4.8★  Family Vision Ministries, Inc. / Subsplash

Family ID offers a free household conversation starter built around sixteen family types, but its current browser assessment and three-year-old Subsplash media app are separate products with unclear shared privacy and no published validation study.

Overflow Quiet Time Companion

4.9★  Dylan Bono

Overflow is a free iPhone companion for turning a Bible, devotional or Christian app into a five-minute quiet-time rhythm—but its thoughtful simplicity comes with a tiny public track record and few recent feature additions.

Reflect

4.9★  The Simple Warrior LLC / Trent Jones

Reflect builds a calm two-minute rhythm from Scripture, a personalized AI reflection, prayer and one honest question, with strong privacy documentation and no ads—but intimate context still reaches cloud services, and generated theology needs human judgment.

Thank God

4.2★  Ronen Simian

A Chrome extension that interrupts ordinary browsing with timed blessings, one-minute reflection, audio, and a private gratitude journal—gentle attention cues with unusually clear local-only privacy.

The Bloody Cross

4.4★  Living Bones Interactive / Benjamin Westlake

A short, free, hand-drawn Christian horror game about the futility of moral achievement and the costly grace of the cross—artistically direct, theologically provocative, and firmly for mature audiences.

The Path

4.3★  scout+redeem Ltd / Journeys

A free, no-account devotional app built on Journeys, beginning with a paced Holy Week series and promising a growing formation library—beautifully focused, currently narrow.

STRIVE Men's Bible Study

3.0★  Iron Hill Press, LLC

STRIVE packages daily devotions, men’s articles and sermon archives in one subscription—but an app untouched since May 2022 should prove it still works before taking $9.99 a month.

Following Jesus

4.9★  Samuel Deuth / Deuth Enterprise / Subsplash

Following Jesus gives new believers a free pocket companion for seven Christian foundations, devotionals, Bible reading, worship and video—useful immediately, though its iOS build and privacy label lag the much newer Subsplash Android app.

helloHOPE

4.9★  helloHOPE, Inc.

helloHOPE offers free Scripture-centered encouragement, prayer, calming music and stories for families facing a child’s diagnosis—but advertising and cross-app tracking labels are a poor match for such a sensitive moment.

Every Day with Jesus

4.7★  Waverley Abbey Trust

Every Day with Jesus brings Selwyn Hughes’ classic devotional voice and newer contributors into a free daily read-or-listen routine with sharing, journaling, feedback, and optional giving—but Scripture-display complaints and unusually inconsistent legal and privacy disclosures keep it from being an unqualified recommendation.

JO App (JesusOnline)

4.9★  JesusOnline Ministries · Clear Design Group LLC

JO App combines the complete NET Bible with daily inspiration, evangelical discipleship, apologetics, prayer requests, free books, and direct messages to its ministry team—but its breadth needs clearer content provenance, prayer safeguards, accessible privacy details, and more than an excellent rating from a very small audience.

Devotional for Women | Refuge

4.8★  James Wade · Three Little Birds

Refuge offers short personalized devotionals, prayer prompts, saved readings, sharing, and an offline KJV/ASV Bible in a polished iPhone app—but its generic generator needs theological provenance, Plus pricing is poorly labeled, and the linked privacy policy appears partly copied from an unrelated photo app.

Lifeway Women

3.5★  Lifeway Christian Resources

Lifeway’s free companion gathers study prompts, Journey devotions, private groups, prayer, news, and podcasts for women—but uneven reliability and an alarming Android security declaration demand caution with personal posts.

Love God Greatly

4.1★  Love God Greatly, Inc. · app platform by Subsplash

A nonprofit women’s ministry puts years of reading plans, Scripture, memory verses, images, and group encouragement into one free app—but its global translation story, mobile language support, community privacy, and aging Android build need to be understood separately.

Daily Bible Devotion & Prayer

3.4★  Salem Media Group · Salem Communications Holding Corp.

A simple morning-and-evening devotional habit with millions of Android installs and useful Bible choices—but disruptive ads, vague authorship, and broad privacy terms weaken the quiet-time experience.

GodTools

4.6★  Cru Global, Inc. / Campus Crusade for Christ, Inc.

Cru’s free, multilingual toolkit can support thoughtful conversations about Jesus across language barriers—provided the screen serves the person, not a script or a conversion metric.

EasterNow

4.9★  MinistrySafe, LLC

A free notification-led walk from Palm Sunday to Resurrection morning that makes Holy Week feel immediate—provided its reconstructed timing is held with humility.

Join The Journey

4.9★  Watermark Community Church

A free, church-built Bible rhythm that spends a week in one Acts passage and aligns reading, practice, podcast, and Sunday teaching—substantive, communal, and more transparent theologically than technically.

Life on Mission

4.3★  North American Mission Board, SBC

A free, elegantly simple Southern Baptist gospel-conversation aid that now includes useful AI role-play—excellent for rehearsal, provided its sparse privacy disclosure and simulated beliefs never become spiritual authority.

The Quiet Collection

4.9★  The School for Creative Direction / Emily P. Freeman

Emily P. Freeman’s small library of spoken prayers and seasonal reflections is unusually calm, finite, and subscription-free—but the collection-by-collection cost and a broken privacy link deserve attention.

The Daily Grace Co.

4.0★  Jeremy Kristin LLC / Daily Grace Enterprises, LLC

A beautiful digital companion to The Daily Grace Co. study catalog—strongest for people who already buy the books, but individual-study pricing, uneven app reliability, and weak prayer-data disclosures keep it from being a universal Bible app.

Faith App — Quotes & Bible Verses

4.8★  Daily Lift, LLC / James Conlee

A polished iPhone quote-and-verse habit app with unusually strong curation, search, widgets, and motion backgrounds—excellent for brief reminders, but too narrow to call a devotional or Bible-study replacement.

Gospel Partner

4.7★  22 Media Pte. Ltd.

A polished free morning-and-evening devotional wrapped around Joseph Prince’s teaching library—the daily experience is generous, while the full archive is expensive and deliberately ministry-specific.

Ultimate Intimacy

4.8★  Adding Strength to Marriages LLC

A Christian-friendly marriage app combining conversation prompts, customizable bedroom games, relationship education, and spouse-to-spouse tools—useful for consenting married adults, but its sensitive chat feature deserves more privacy clarity.

d365 Daily Devotionals

4.8★  Passport, Inc.

Passport’s ecumenically sponsored devotional turns Scripture, reflection, prayer, and action into a calm five-step daily rhythm—completely free and without advertising.

Jesus Calling Devotional

4.9★  HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc.

Sarah Young’s best-known devotional now lives inside a polished text-and-audio library—but the 2023 switch from one-time purchases to subscriptions makes legacy access the first thing to understand.

MessengerX

4.9★  Messenger International, Inc

Messenger International gives away John and Lisa Bevere's course, ebook and audiobook library with nothing locked behind a payment, and the iOS listing carries a 4.9 average on 30,884 votes. The harder question is the accounting - and the ministry's last public Form 990 covers FY2018.

Love Nudge

4.6★  The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago

The official companion app to Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages, free on both stores from The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. You each take the quiz, link accounts, and the app turns the results into goals and reminders - which works beautifully right up until you notice your spouse never installed it.

The Bible with Nicky and Pippa

4.9★  Alpha International

Alpha International's 365-day devotional, now carrying the Gumbels' names instead of the Bible in One Year branding. Same Apple ID, same Android package - so the only honest question is whether the rename changed anything.

Glorify

4.9★  Glorify App Ltd (founded by Henry Costa)

The Christian app that feels like Calm - five-minute devotionals, ambient worship, sleep stories, and a guided journal in one beautifully designed package.

She Reads Truth

3.2★  She Reads Truth, LLC

The premium women's reading-plan app that turned daily Bible reading into something you actually want to pick up - beautiful typography, theologically careful plans, and a community that keeps showing up.

Our Daily Bread

3.9★  Our Daily Bread Ministries

The free daily devotional that has quietly sat on more kitchen tables, hospital nightstands, and dashboard cupholders than any other in the English-speaking world - now an app that does not ask for a dime.

Joel Osteen

4.7★  Joel Osteen Ministries / Lakewood Church

The mobile front door to the largest Protestant church in the United States - and to the most-broadcast, most-debated mainstream preacher in America.

My Daily Bread

4.4★  Independent publishers (Confraternity of the Precious Blood text)

A 70-year-old Catholic devotional classic, rebuilt as a quiet little phone app - and the dialogue format is what keeps people coming back.

MacArthur Daily Bible

4.3★  Grace to You

The MacArthur Daily Bible app pairs a year-long four-track reading plan with John MacArthur’s notes and audio narration - built for readers who already trust his voice in their daily Bible time.

Spoken Gospel

4.9★  Spoken Gospel (David Bowden & Seth Stewart)

A reading plan that gives you a 3-minute spoken-word video on every chapter of the Bible - the rare Bible companion that actually changes how the page reads.

Celebrate Recovery

4.6★  Celebrate Recovery (Saddleback Church)

A 35-year-old church-based recovery program in app form - built for the person who wants the rooms, the steps, and the language of faith in one place.

He Reads Truth

3.1★  He Reads Truth / She Reads Truth (Raechel & Ryan Myers)

The men’s-edition companion to She Reads Truth - same beautiful typography, same theology, same daily-plan engine, framed for men who want a real reading habit rather than a feed of motivational quotes.

First15

4.7★  First15 / Hope Center (Craig Denison)

A free daily devotional built around a structured 15-minute quiet time - and the rare devotional app that actually tells you how to spend the time.

First 5

4.5★  Proverbs 31 Ministries

A five-minute, Scripture-first morning devotional from Proverbs 31 Ministries - built around the idea that the first five minutes of your day belong to God, not your phone.

Lasting

4.7★  Lasting (Talkspace)

Lasting is the marriage app Christian counselors quietly recommend without quite calling it Christian - built on the Gottmans’ four decades of marriage research and now folded into Talkspace’s therapy platform.

Bible in One Year

4.9★  Alpha (HTB)

The free 365-day reading plan that walks you through the whole Bible with a warm daily commentary in your ear - the one that has actually gotten millions of people to finish.

Blessed

4.9★  Everblessed Technology

A polished, all-in-one daily companion - morning and evening verses, guided prayer, an AI Bible chat, and a multi-translation reader, wrapped in one of the slickest free Christian apps around.

Today in the Word

4.9★  Moody Bible Institute

Moody Bible Institute’s long-running daily devotional, now a clean, completely free app - fresh Scripture-based studies each day, organized into monthly journeys through books of the Bible and biblical topics.

Word Alert

4.9★  Fingoware

A deliberately simple daily-verse app - it pushes one Scripture to your iPhone or Apple Watch at the time you set, ready to read or share, without the clutter of a full Bible platform.

Daily Devotional For Women

4.9★  Novix Technology

A warm, design-forward devotional and Bible-study app built for women - personalized daily verses and devotions, topical reading plans, a faith journal, and reminders, in KJV and a modern translation.

Audio Bible Apps11 reviews

Listen to Scripture - narration quality, languages, and features compared. See the full audio bible apps guide →

Scripture - Audio Bible Reader

4.9★  ScriptureApp Inc.

A deliberately small Apple-only Bible listener with offline chapters, word-following text and no ads—pleasantly focused, but its translation and privacy disclosures need clearer reconciliation.

audibible: audio bible app

4.8★  Studio 316 · Stephane Montlouis-Calixte

audibible combines narrated Scripture, synchronized word highlighting, background music, ambient soundscapes, focus mode, plans, podcasts, downloads, playlists, bookmarks, and a sleep timer—but translation and voice provenance are not publicly documented, lifetime pricing varies dramatically, and “no data collected” is hard to reconcile with accounts, history, purchases, and website analytics.

her.BIBLE

4.8★  Cru

A complete, free NLT audio Bible voiced by a diverse group of women, created especially for listeners who connect with female voices—simple, generous, and narrower than a full Bible-study app.

Dwell

4.9★  Dwell Inc.

Dwell is the premium audio Bible app for people who actually want to listen - multiple narrators, scored music, themed passages, sleep mode - at a real subscription price.

Daily Audio Bible

4.7★  Daily Audio Bible / Brian Hardin

Brian Hardin's daily through-the-Bible podcast has quietly become one of the most loyal audiences in Christianity - and 20 years in, it still does one thing better than anyone else.

Streetlights Bible

4.7★  Streetlights Bible Project (non-profit)

A fully dramatized New Testament scored with original hip-hop production - the audio Bible that finally sounds like the streets it was first preached on.

Wide Margin Audio Bible

4.4★  Wide Margin Media

A newer premium audio Bible built for slow, contemplative listening rather than checking off chapters - and the pacing is the whole point.

NIV Audio Bible (Max McLean)

4.6★  Max McLean / Fellowship for Performing Arts (Zondervan / HarperCollins Christian)

The premium narrated NIV that every other audio Bible quietly gets compared to - and the one most listeners settle on for daily reading.

Through the Word

4.8★  Through the Word

A free, ad-free audio Bible that reads you a chapter and then explains it in about ten minutes - engineered for the commute, the dish-pile, and the stroller walk.

Truth & Life Dramatized Bible

4.8★  Carl Amari / Truth & Life

A celebrity-voiced, movie-quality radio drama of the Catholic New Testament - 70+ actors, an original score, and a Vatican imprimatur - that turns Scripture into something you experience rather than just hear.

Public Reading of Scripture

4.7★  The Grace and Mercy Foundation

A free app built around one simple, ancient practice - reading Scripture aloud - with professionally dramatized audio Bibles and group reading plans designed for households and gatherings to read together.

Scripture Memorization Apps16 reviews

Lock verses into memory with spaced repetition and typing systems. See the full scripture memorization apps guide →

Within: Memorize the Bible

4.3★  Within Media Inc.

Within turns one weekly verse into a seven-day devotional and memory-game rhythm with topical challenges—but its polished tutorial leads to a subscription rather than a lasting free plan.

Hide The Word

4.2★  Vanlab Technologies · Vaneyck Seme Otoki

A focused iPhone and Android Scripture-memory coach that turns a verse into short read, fill, type, and recite exercises, schedules reviews, and lets friends learn together—promising for habit formation, but still a young app with a tiny public rating sample and privacy documentation that needs tightening.

Recite Bible Verse Memory

4.7★  David Gibson / Ocho

A free, ad-free Bible memory app that listens as users recite, marks right, close, and missed words, and schedules review with SM-2 spaced repetition—thoughtfully private and motivating, though its young release, speech accuracy, edition rights, and site-to-store feature differences deserve attention.

MemoryVerses

4.9★  Ryan Jon Brown / MemoryVerses.com

MemoryVerses combines serious spaced Scripture practice with daily games, groups and church-wide verses—and now gives every feature away, making privacy and child-safe community design its biggest unfinished work.

Verses for Life

4.5★  Calvin Freitas · Swarzy LLC

Verses for Life is a genuinely free, unusually quiet way to rehearse the Navigators-style Topical Memory System, Roman Road, and prayer verses—but it is a fixed pack reader and show-or-hide quiz, not a full spaced-repetition or custom-deck platform.

Bible Clock: Daily Verse

4.7★  Young Park · CodeInFaith

A clever verse clock turns 3:16 into John 3:16, adds widgets, book collections, context, favorites, personal-photo backgrounds, and a one-time Pro upgrade—but time is a discovery device rather than interpretation, AI suggestions need checking, and the privacy disclosures contradict one another.

Verses: Melody of God’s Word

4.8★  The Verses Project Inc. · App platform by Subsplash

A beautiful free catalog that sets Bible passages to memorable original music—but the app often withholds visible verse text and translation, while platform privacy labels sharply disagree.

Wrinkly Bible Memory

4.8★  Oakwood Software Consulting, Inc.

A genuinely free, polished Scripture-memory app with varied practice and growing translation support—strong for self-directed learners, though its privacy and accessibility documentation lag the product.

Versle

4.9★  Toast - Apps and Software LLC

Wordle-style daily discovery has grown into the most polished collection of short Bible games on iPhone and Android—but the strongest replay value now sits behind Premium and daily limits.

The Bible Memory App

4.8★  Millennial Apps, LLC

The mature, cross-platform Scripture memorization system formerly called Scripture Typer - excellent review mechanics, with its best tools now behind Unlimited.

Bible Memory Goal

4.4★  Bible Memory Goal

A newer, gamified take on Scripture memorization built around concrete goals and daily streaks - the app that finally makes the calendar do the work.

Remember Me

4.8★  Mark Hibberd

A free, open-source memorization app with no ads, no tracking, and over 300 Bible translations - the indie tool that quietly became the community favorite.

VerseLocker

4.8★  Scripture Memory Fellowship

The free companion app to a decades-old memorization ministry, built for people who want a program and not just a flash card - and it shows.

Verses

4.9★  Verses

A newer entrant in the Scripture memorization category that bets everything on modern UX, AI-suggested verses, and shareable card design - the question is whether prettier wins.

Fighter Verses

4.9★  Desiring God

The Scripture-memory app built around a curated five-year plan - a carefully chosen passage a week, reinforced with songs and six different quiz modes until it sticks.

Versify

4.9★  Versify LLC

A polished, genuinely free Bible memorization app - pick any verse, drill it through seven game modes across eight translations, and track your progress, with no ads, no subscription, and no in-app purchases.

Bible Apps for Kids32 reviews

Animated Bible stories, kids reading plans, family-safe Christian content. See the full bible apps for kids guide →

DUO Town

4.9★  Mighty Good Games, LLC

DUO Town is a genuinely free, offline preschool play set where children help neighbors, practice early skills and visit a church—an unusually calm option whose no-data App Store label conflicts with its linked privacy policy.

DUO Space

4.2★  Mighty Good Games, LLC

DUO Space is a cheerful offline sci-fi playset that lets preschoolers help neighbors, practice early thinking skills and encounter light Bible content—with no ads or purchases, but little guidance for parents and a privacy policy that needs repair.

UCB Spark

4.9★  United Christian Broadcasters Ltd

UCB Spark gives 10–12-year-olds a free daily Bible video followed by questions, prayer and tactile verse activities in an ad-free, no-login design—but families still need to discuss interpretation and difficult topics together.

Listener Kids

2.5★  Listener Records LLC

A colorful, ad-free home for more than 100 animated Christian children’s songs, now with offline viewing and continuous play—but subscription and trial messaging conflict, current ratings are weak, and its public privacy policy does not describe the child-directed app.

Gate Zero

3.9★  Templar Media

An ambitious Unreal Engine 5 action-adventure that places a fictional time traveler inside a free-roaming first-century setting around Gospel events, with PC, PS5, Xbox, puzzles, stealth, and phone-assisted CoPlay planned—promising enough to wishlist, still too unreleased to score like a finished game.

Kings of Israel Video Game

4.2★  Alastair John Jack and Lance Hill / Funhill Games

A compact $4.99 single-player adaptation of Lance Hill’s cooperative board game, casting a team of prophets against spreading evil and idolatry in the Northern Kingdom with optional Bible questions, adaptive difficulty, statistics, cards, and achievements—an inventive Scripture-themed strategy puzzle whose decade-old build, simplified theology, English-only presentation, and modern macOS incompatibility sharply narrow the audience.

Wingfeather Saga on Roblox

4.4★  Soma Games

A free retro collectathon set in Andrew Peterson’s Glipwood, built by Soma Games on Roblox—warm family-fantasy exploration inside a platform parents still need to govern.

Bible Words

4.9★  Mighty Good Games LLC

Bible Words is a genuinely simple, free Christian guessing game for families and groups—excellent as an icebreaker, provided leaders do not confuse fast clues with Bible teaching.

U-Nite TV

4.7★  Child Evangelism Fellowship, Inc.

U-Nite TV is a genuinely free, ad-free library of Bible animation, Scripture songs, Gospel stories and missionary adventures for ages 4–14—with broad device support but a dated, nonspecific child-privacy notice.

Dot Conner: Webtective

4.9★  Mighty Good Games / Huff Media Productions

Dot Conner turns eight live-action Christian apologetics mysteries into a free offline clue hunt for children—creative, private and travel-friendly, but enormous for a short season and attached to broken curriculum and privacy pages.

Bible Kids

4.8★  BCC Media STI

BCC Media’s Bible Kids is a genuinely free, ad-free video library with polished animated Bible stories and no required account—but parents should understand its church publisher, preview its teaching, and ask for a child-specific privacy notice.

DvG: Conquering Giants

4.4★  Immersive LLC / Immersive History

DvG turns David’s path from shepherd to giant-slayer into a colorful sling-combat game with animals, soldiers, challenges and leaderboards—but the $4.99 mobile edition is not the $24.99 VR experience, and both require more parent interpretation than the biblical branding suggests.

Redwall: Escape the Gloomer

4.6★  Team Clopas · Soma Games

Escape the Gloomer is a richly voiced nine-chapter interactive-fiction side story based on Brian Jacques’s Mossflower—not a Christian teaching app—and its clever atmosphere now comes with a 2018–2019 build, parser friction, conflicting age labels, and uncertain compatibility that make the demo essential.

Bible Times | Card Bible Game

4.9★  Mighty Good Games, LLC

Bible Times turns 150 hand-illustrated biblical events into a fast chronological card game for solo players, families, classrooms, youth groups, and churches; it is free and playable offline, but chronology is editorial, one-device multiplayer is awkward, and its privacy policy conflicts with store declarations.

Bible Loop

4.8★  Life.Church / YouVersion · content partnership with OneHope

YouVersion and OneHope give teenagers a free daily loop of Scripture, feeling-aware devotion, prayer, video, memory play, streaks, and offline NIV audio—but the new app’s profiles, leaderboard, age labels, and data disclosures need a clearer parent-facing explanation.

The Serpent & The Seed

4.8★  Discipleship Tech

A beautiful hand-drawn, musical adventure traces the Bible’s seed promise from Eden to Revelation with more artistry than most faith games—but its compressed evangelical retelling, occasional control friction, and inconsistent analytics disclosures deserve a parent’s attention.

Instill Kids Bedtime Prayer

4.7★  Instill Apps PTY LTD

Personalized spoken prayers, Scripture, repeat-after-me lines, and calming music can give families a warm Christ-centered bedtime cue—but per-child purchases are expensive, the website contradicts the stores about in-app payments, and the privacy notice does not clearly explain how children’s names and audio personalization are handled.

Gabb Music

3.5★  Gabb Wireless, Inc.

A large, ad-free music catalog filtered for younger listeners and now available on most phones—but useful controls sit behind Music+, and the privacy labels need clarification.

The Garden!

4.1★  Garden Productions LLC

Butch Hartman’s colorful Christian cartoon app now appears to make its full episode library free—but stale subscription copy, inconsistent privacy disclosures, and limited doctrine detail leave parents work to do.

Evergrace

4.7★  Evergrace & Co Pty Ltd

Beautifully calm original Christian audio for bedtime, quiet time, and car rides—now sold in permanent collections instead of another family subscription.

Bible Memory Kids

4.3★  Millennial Apps, LLC

Bible Memory Kids turns exact Scripture recall into a multisensory game with images, songs, first-letter typing, and smart review—an excellent one-time purchase for Apple families, with a small built-in catalog and privacy disclosures parents should reconcile.

TruPlay Games

4.5★  TruPlay Games, Inc.

A subscription app that packs Bible-based games, comics and animated video into one original story universe, with up to ten kid profiles on a single account - and a published price you cannot actually find.

Lightgliders

4.2★  Made To Shine Inc

A nonprofit-run multiplayer world where children get an avatar, Bible-based quests and a pre-approved vocabulary instead of open chat - with the clearest published safety mechanics in the category and a conspicuous silence everywhere else.

Parent Cue

4.8★  Orange / The reThink Group, Inc.

Orange's free parenting companion asks for a child's name and birth date, then feeds you age-appropriate faith content one week at a time - a genuinely gentle piece of software with one conspicuous gap: nobody will tell you what the paid tier costs.

The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout Anthology

4.7★  SOMA Games LLC (Steam publisher: Forthright Entertainment)

The first new official Redwall story since 2011, sold once for $24.99 rather than rented monthly - with a real scent-and-wind stealth mechanic, a full voice cast, and three caveats that will disqualify a lot of households before they reach the checkout.

Bible App for Kids

4.8★  Life.Church (YouVersion) + OneHope

YouVersion and OneHope's free kids' Bible app has quietly become the default for families and children's ministries on six continents - and the curriculum bolted onto it is the part most parents never hear about.

Superbook

4.8★  CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network)

CBN’s free animated Bible app has quietly become the go-to for car rides, Sunday school overflow, and bedtime - and it’s the rare kids’ app that holds attention without burning through batteries or budgets.

Adventures in Odyssey Club

4.7★  Focus on the Family

The official subscription app for the audio-drama series Christian families have been listening to since 1987 - and the rare kids product where the parents are already fans.

Daily Bible Trivia & Quiz

4.9★  Multiple publishers (category leader)

The free multiple-choice Bible game that has quietly become a nightly family ritual on millions of phones - and the closest thing the category has to a default pick.

Slugs & Bugs

4.6★  Randall Goodgame

Randall Goodgame’s Scripture-memory songs have quietly become the soundtrack of a generation of Christian homeschool kitchens - and they hold up far better than most things you put on for the kids.

Bible for Children

4.0★  Mission Bridges (Bible for Children, Inc.)

A free, illustrated, story-by-story Bible designed for kids in every language a missionary can reach - the kids app whose strength is not polish but planetary distribution.

Bible.is Kids

4.5★  Faith Comes By Hearing

The children’s companion to Bible.is from Faith Comes By Hearing - built around dramatized audio and the JESUS Film for Children, free in dozens of languages.

Catholic Apps23 reviews

Liturgy of the Hours, Catechism, Rosary, daily Mass readings. See the full catholic apps guide →

Christendom

4.3★  Longbeard Creative Inc.

Christendom organizes videos from a wide circle of Catholic creators into one free feed with follows, playlists and alerts—but it remains a curated YouTube doorway, not a child-safe or comprehensive formation system.

Arete7

4.3★  RND LAB Michał Jaremko

A free, earnest Catholic practice companion that combines prayer reminders, examination of conscience, a spiritual diary and progress tracking—thoughtfully focused, but undermined by conflicting store disclosures and a vague privacy policy around unusually personal data.

Sainthood

2.9★  Bisong Taiwo / Taiwo Pictures Inc. / Sainthood Project

Sainthood is a rare warm, African-influenced Catholic strategy game about prayer and service—creative enough to recommend, but mobile bugs and opaque unlock framing need care.

Latria - Bible & Commentaries

4.9★  Arif Hassan · independent developer

Latria brings a Catholic Bible, patristic commentary, early Christian writings, councils, Lectio-style reflections, prayers, and a Scriptural Rosary into a quiet offline iPhone library—but source-text documentation, accessibility, export, and its lifetime-price math need closer inspection.

Monk Mindset

4.7★  Monk Mindset, Inc. · policies identify Monk Works, LLC

A polished Catholic formation-and-productivity app turns monastic prayer, work, community, wellness, detachment, and discernment into challenges, schedules, check-ins, and Screen Time blocks—but every feature is paid, Android is not here yet, and its data policy reaches much further than Apple’s label suggests.

Tabella

4.8★  Churchly Inc.

A free Catholic media and parish-community hub with real communication potential—but “safe” and “private” marketing outruns its tracking-heavy policy and contradictory store labels.

Fio

4.9★  Fio Technology, Inc.

A genuinely useful Catholic audio home that pays creators more and combines podcasts, music, and audiobooks—much smaller than Spotify, but far more intentional about what Catholic listeners can discover.

Heroic Men

4.9★  Heroic Men / Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance

A donor-funded Catholic media library built to move men from watching into prayer, friendship, and small groups—generous in content, but muddled across its media and community products.

Word on Fire Institute

4.9★  Word on Fire Catholic Ministries

Bishop Barron’s Institute combines serious Catholic formation, live seminars, prayer groups, and a large online community for $27 a month—far more than a video library, and priced accordingly.

Formed

4.9★  Augustine Institute, Inc.

The Augustine Institute’s “Catholic Netflix” is now a much larger formation library—movies, studies, daily reflections, books, audio, parish programs, and children’s content for $99.99 a year or through a sponsoring parish.

Amen

4.9★  Augustine Institute, Inc.

Amen is the Augustine Institute's free Catholic prayer and audio Scripture app, and it is free in the strict sense - no subscription, no in-app purchase list, no locked sessions. The reason to read past the 4.9 rating is what the nonprofit still does not carry.

Hallow

4.9★  Hallow, Inc.

The largest Catholic prayer app in the world, by a wide margin - and the one that has reshaped what a guided prayer app is allowed to feel like.

Ascension App

4.9★  Ascension Press

The home of Fr. Mike Schmitz, the Bible in a Year podcast, and the Great Adventure reading plan - and the most quietly influential Catholic app of the last five years.

Laudate

3.9★  Aycka Soft

Laudate has quietly been the most-downloaded free Catholic app for over a decade - a single utility that bundles the Liturgy of the Hours, daily Mass readings, the Catechism, and a multilingual Rosary into one no-cost download.

iBreviary

4.1★  Fr. Paolo Padrini

The free, priest-built Liturgy of the Hours app that quietly became the daily-Office workhorse for Catholic clergy and laity - in six languages plus Latin.

Magnificat

4.4★  Magnificat

The classic monthly companion that puts every Mass reading, the Liturgy of the Hours in miniature, and a month of Lectio Divina in one place - and the app that finally lets you carry it without the paperback.

iMissal Catholic

4.4★  Cantcha Inc.

The long-running daily missal that quietly became the default for English, Spanish, Latin, and Italian Mass-goers - and the one app most Catholics open before walking into the pew.

Word on Fire

4.9★  Word on Fire Catholic Ministries

The mobile front door to Bishop Robert Barron’s ministry - daily Gospel reflections, the Word on Fire Show, and the Catholicism documentary in your pocket.

iRosary

4.9★  Independent developer (Catholic indie)

A small, paid, single-purpose iOS app that does one thing - pray the Rosary, bead by bead - and does it better than the multi-tool suites that try to bolt the Rosary on as a feature.

Universalis

4.9★  Universalis Publishing (Steve van Roode), UK

The pay-once, fully offline Liturgy of the Hours app that quietly became the standard for English-speaking Catholic clergy - and the reason most of them stopped carrying a four-volume breviary.

iPieta

4.7★  Tridentine Apps

A one-time-purchase Catholic library that fits a seminary shelf into a phone - and runs entirely offline.

Saint of the Day

4.6★  Franciscan Media

Franciscan Media’s daily saint feature, ported from decades of print and web into a quietly excellent free app - the one most English-speaking Catholics actually read.

iCatholic Radio

4.2★  Independent Catholic developers

The free aggregator that quietly became the easiest way to listen to Catholic radio from your phone - effectively a TuneIn built for the Catholic listener.

Latter-day Saint Apps3 reviews

Official LDS scripture, Come Follow Me, General Conference, and study tools. See the full latter-day saint apps guide →

Orthodox Christian Apps6 reviews

Daily lectionary, prayer book, fasting calendar, lives of the saints. See the full orthodox christian apps guide →

Patristic Nectar

4.9★  Orthodox Christian Ministries, Inc.

A remarkably deep, donation-supported Orthodox audio library makes patristic teaching, saints, Scripture, and catechesis easy to hear—while clearly serving one tradition rather than pretending to be neutral.

Coptic Reader

4.9★  St. Mary & Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church (Houston)

The official digital prayer book of the Coptic Orthodox Church, with liturgy, Hours, and the Synaxarion in three parallel languages - and the app a Coptic family is most likely to have open on a Sunday morning.

Daily Readings (GOARCH)

4.5★  Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America

The official daily companion of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America - today’s appointed readings, the saints commemorated, the fasting rule, and a small library of prayers, all keyed to the Orthodox calendar and given away for free.

OrthoPrax

4.4★  OrthoPrax

A daily-practice companion for the Eastern Orthodox Christian - a prayer book, the liturgical calendar with its feasts and fasts, the lives of the saints, and a library of icons, gathered into one freemium app.

English Orthodox Prayers

4.4★  Independent

A focused digital prayer book that gathers the prayers of the Eastern Orthodox tradition in English - morning and evening prayers, the prayers around communion, akathists and canons, and prayers for various needs - in one free app.

Pray Always!

4.3★  Independent

An Eastern Orthodox prayer companion whose name echoes “pray without ceasing” - a structured prayer rule, the Jesus Prayer, the daily prayers, and the liturgical calendar, gathered into one free app to help a daily rhythm of prayer take hold.

Sermon Prep Apps7 reviews

Outline builders, AI assistants, and pastor-focused prep tools. See the full sermon prep apps guide →

Sermonly

2.0★  Your Giving, Inc. / Tithe.ly

Sermonly combines a cloud sermon editor, Bible references, research snippets, templates and AI-generated outlines in one pastoral workspace—but every generated claim still belongs under the preacher’s scrutiny.

AlignedAI

4.9★  Apollo Eleven Inc. / ShoutOut

An ambitious, low-cost pastor workspace that adapts outputs to a church’s statement of faith, sermons, documents, voice, and selected tradition—valuable for drafting and retrieval, but doctrine settings cannot verify truth and broad connected-data access deserves far clearer disclosure.

Sermonary

4.5★  Ministry Pass

Sermonary has quietly become the favorite of pastors who want sermon prep to feel less like wrestling with a word processor - and more like building with blocks.

Logos Sermon Builder

4.5★  Faithlife

The sermon-prep module that turns the Logos library into a drag-and-drop outline - the natural workflow for any pastor already living inside Logos.

Pulpit AI

4.5★  Pulpit AI

Upload one sermon and walk away with a month of derivative content - the post-production multiplier built specifically for preachers.

Sermon Shots

4.3★  Sermon Shots

The tool that finally lets a one-person comms team keep up with a preaching pastor - by turning every Sunday sermon into a week of vertical clips on autopilot.

Sermons.com

4.0★  Communication Resources, Inc.

A curated sermon archive built around pastor-ready outlines, illustration packs, video clips, and a weekly inbox drop - the comfortable middle path between crowd-sourced chaos and the seminary-priced subscription.

Community & Communication Apps28 reviews

Group communication, pastoral check-ins, and relationship-building beyond the Sunday gathering. See the full community & communication apps guide →

Foster the City

4.9★  Foster the City / Echo.Church

Foster the City gives foster families, support friends and church advocates one place for requests, calendars, prayer and onboarding—but its child-and-placement data is far more sensitive than contradictory store disclosures suggest.

Apollos

4.4★  Differential Dev Shop LLC

A polished church-engagement platform that turns sermons, habits, groups, giving and next steps into one branded digital home—with a free Creator entry point, quote-only app pricing and sensitive-data questions churches should settle before launch.

Bible Verse Bot for Discord

4.0★  Bible SMS and Scripture Images

A free, unusually simple way to put Scripture images inside a Discord community—but it remains a beta KJV bot whose content, logging, accessibility, and admin controls need clearer documentation.

Christian Mom 360

4.3★  Families Arising Resource Centre Edmonton; app platform by Subsplash

The free app formerly listed as Families Arising App combines Christian-mom devotionals, family media, courses, live sessions, and group chat—generous breadth, but premium-community pricing and platform privacy need clearer disclosure.

Tassel

4.3★  Tasssel, LLC / Edmund Azigi

A free discipleship community that matches people who want to follow Jesus with disciple makers through an interview-led process—promising relational structure with safeguarding that must scale carefully.

Faithly.co

4.9★  Faithly, Inc.

Faithly is building a focused professional network for pastors, staff, volunteers and ministry organizations—promising signal without mainstream social noise, but still carrying every trust problem of jobs, DMs and public credentials.

Alpha App

3.9★  Alpha International

The Alpha App is a polished free companion for revisiting a local Alpha course—useful between sessions, but intentionally unable to replace the meal, conversation and safeguarding of a good group.

Safar Discipleship

4.9★  Elam Ministries, Inc.

Safar equips one ordinary believer to accompany another through 30 free Scripture, prayer and practice steps—an unusually relational new-believer pathway whose conflicting privacy labels deserve special care in high-risk contexts.

Men's Ministries

4.9★  The General Council of the Assemblies of God / Subsplash

The Assemblies of God Men’s Ministries app puts more than 400 free discipleship lessons, leader guides, podcasts, media and group tools in one mobile hub—an unusually generous library with a clear Pentecostal identity and Subsplash-powered community privacy tradeoffs.

connectapp.

3.8★  MAP Sports Co-Mission, LLC

connectapp. gives a school, church, team, or nonprofit one branded private feed for messages, events, files, video, subgroups, notifications, polls, and audited communication—but unpublished organization pricing, weak Android reviews, broad sensitive-data labels, and a privacy notice that says under-13s should not use the platform require serious procurement work.

Missio – Live on Mission

4.9★  Missio LLC

Missio turns quick missionary photo-and-caption updates into supporter feeds, scheduled email newsletters, profile pages, and giving links with face blur, app locks, biometrics, and an unusually thoughtful Invisible Mode—but invite-only access, a tiny user base, English-only apps, ambiguous encryption language, and inevitable recipient-side exposure mean high-security workers still need an organizational threat model.

MissionHub

3.8★  Cru Global, Inc. · powered by Indigitous

MissionHub is a free Cru and Indigitous relationship organizer for praying, caring, sharing, relating, and taking faith steps with people—but categorizing another person’s spiritual journey creates unusual consent and privacy duties, reliability reviews are mixed, and the app has not shipped an update since January 2024.

Faith Driven Entrepreneur

4.9★  Faith Driven Movements · app platform by Subsplash

Faith Driven Entrepreneur combines free Christian business courses, founder stories, podcasts, group guides, prayer, and community in a Subsplash app—but public catalog detail is uneven, iOS maintenance trails Android, and privacy differs sharply by platform.

Tether: Courses, Cohorts

4.4★  With Tether Inc.

A capable white-label formation platform lets ministries deliver branded courses, cohorts, media, practices, progress, and community across web and mobile—but members need to judge both Tether and the organization operating their space.

SOTE.life

4.9★  Church-Budget Envelope Company Inc.

A free “Salt of the Earth” community combines short Christian videos, a headline feed, approved creators, prayer, gratitude, and daily habits—but aging builds and incomplete privacy detail make it difficult to recommend for sensitive use.

ActsSocial

4.5★  Trinity Proximity, Inc.

A fast-growing, free social network combines Christian community, prayer, short video, church pages, devotionals, and a Bible reader—but a small network, normal social-media risks, and tracking disclosures still require clear-eyed expectations.

BLESS App

4.6★  Mapping Center for Evangelism & Church Growth / Palau

A free relationship-based evangelism app turns prayer, listening, hospitality, service, and testimony into daily habits—but its named-neighbor database and paid church mapping tools demand unusually careful privacy and consent practices.

Perspective Cards

4.9★  Cru Global, Inc.

Cru’s free digital card deck can turn an abstract worldview discussion into a respectful, visual, face-to-face conversation—but the aging English-only apps and incomplete privacy disclosures make the physical method stronger than the software.

MyCompassion

3.5★  Compassion International, Inc.

Compassion International’s free sponsor-account companion makes letters, photos, prayer, child updates, and giving easier—but the relationship is valuable enough to demand stronger reliability and privacy clarity.

Promise Keepers

3.8★  Promise Keepers · Subsplash

A free men’s discipleship network with teaching, events, private groups, and messaging—but its app, web community, and obsolete Android links form a confusing migration story.

Zaia

4.8★  Zaia Holdings LLC

A visually polished Christian social network with Bible prompts and unusually positive early users—but its small community, broad privacy policy, and ordinary feed risks require care.

United Hive

4.8★  United Hive LLC

A distinctive testimony-and-evangelism network with 12,000-plus stories and prayer-backed Beacons—but location, consent, encryption, and verification need sober boundaries.

Krew Social

4.9★  Krew Social Inc.

An organization-sponsored social-connection app built around group hangouts and shared interests—not a dating app, and not a substitute for identity checks, safeguarding, or real pastoral care.

TUVU

3.7★  Potomac Technologies, LLC

An ambitious ad-free Christian social network with prayer, groups, messages, livestreams, and church communities—undercut by weak Android ratings and legal pages frozen before its feature growth.

Grow: Christian Social App

4.8★  Grow Faith Co. / CityLife Community Projects

A free Christian social feed with devotionals, worship sharing, and unusually visible moderation controls—more focused than Instagram, but still public user-generated content with unresolved age and privacy documentation.

Fext

4.0★  Pericarp Software Inc.

Fext turns one iPhone message into separate personal SMS conversations—fast and inexpensive for a known list, but without the consent, shared administration, and compliance machinery of a church messaging platform.

theWell

4.1★  GODS HANDS, Inc.

theWell combines short video, posts, messages, prayer requests, and testimonies in an explicitly Christian network—with unusually detailed moderation tooling, but serious contradictions in age, privacy, and user-content terms.

Marco Polo

4.8★  Joya Communications, Inc.

Marco Polo makes private, asynchronous video conversation unusually natural for families, friends, and small groups—strong for relationship across schedules, but not a church-management system or a confidential pastoral-care channel.

Audiobook & Book Summary Apps6 reviews

Audiobooks, book discovery, and short summaries—with clear limits on catalog and depth. See the full audiobook & book summary apps guide →

Free Christian eBook Reader

4.0★  Cornerstone Christian Ministry

A genuinely free, ad-free Christian ebook ministry with 68 current title entries, 20 audiobook downloads, 25 short podcast discussions, and an Android reader—generous distribution and active 2026 content, but a stale 2024 app and contradictory privacy disclosures make the open website files the safer default.

ONE Audiobooks

3.8★  Headwater Enterprises Inc. / ONE Audiobooks

ONE Audiobooks offers free and discounted inspirational listening without a subscription—an appealing model undermined by stale apps, playback complaints and broken privacy paperwork.

WindowSeat

4.9★  WindowSeat

A thoughtfully curated, screen-free library of Christian audio adventures, books, music, and devotionals for children—but families should inspect age labels and a privacy-label contradiction.

Holy Reads

4.7★  Holy Reads OÜ / Holy Reads OU

A large Christian book-summary library in text, audio, and animated video, with useful discovery and offline tools—but summaries are starting points, not substitutes for authors, Scripture, or careful theology.

Blinkist

4.8★  Blinks Labs GmbH

Blinkist turns thousands of nonfiction books into short text and audio explainers, including a broad Christianity shelf—useful for discovery and recall, but too compressed and eclectic to replace a book, Bible study, or trusted theological library.

Chirp Audiobooks

4.8★  Pubmark Inc.

Chirp sells complete audiobooks one at a time, often through steep limited-time discounts and without credits or a subscription—an excellent deal source when the right Christian title appears, but not a curated faith library or portable ownership model.

Focus, Habit & Productivity Apps14 reviews

Build habits, reduce distraction, and protect attention without confusing a metric for spiritual growth. See the full focus, habit & productivity apps guide →

Immersed

3.5★  Immersed Inc.

Immersed puts up to five virtual monitors from your Mac, PC or Linux box inside a VR headset. It is a secular productivity utility built by a Christian founder, and the app is free while the hardware is not - the real price of entry starts at $349.99.

Epistle

4.9★  Epistle, Inc.

Epistle brings missionary updates, partner responses and ministry-partner-development records into one thoughtful workflow—powerful for ordinary communication, but sensitive stories, donor data and AI coaching demand much clearer boundaries than a newsletter tool alone.

The GAPP

4.9★  TA ETHNI, LLC

The GAPP gives mission teams a configurable system for recording activity, groups, churches and people-group context across offline fieldwork—capable operational software whose location-rich spiritual records require a threat model before a rollout.

Disciple.Tools

4.9★  Disciple.Tools / Gospel Ambition

Disciple.Tools is a free open-source CRM for contacts, groups, churches, coaching and movement maps that organizations can control on their own WordPress infrastructure—an unusually capable system whose freedom transfers security and governance to the operator.

Glossa

4.9★  INDX Ltd.

Glossa sends live sermon captions and translated audio in more than 100 languages to ordinary phones, with church-specific vocabulary and optional voice cloning—but leaders must test accuracy, consent, latency, privacy and fallback plans before Sunday dependence.

I’M SAFE

4.5★  Free2Live Tech Solutions Private Limited

I’M SAFE combines invite-only family location sharing, SOS alerts, check-ins, discreet tools and optional Bluetooth tags in one free app—but it is not an emergency service, and continuous location, recording and trusted-contact design demand careful setup.

BibleBolt

4.6★  Bible Society (British and Foreign Bible Society)

A focused Bible Society add-on that removes the copy-paste mess from sermon and study documents—but its broad document permissions and thin pricing details deserve attention before installation.

RewriteBar

4.6★  Mathias Michel

A lightweight native macOS writing utility that rewrites selected text in almost any application through cloud, bring-your-own-key, or local models—fast and unusually flexible, but its broad Accessibility access and provider-dependent privacy require deliberate configuration before handling church, pastoral, legal, or confidential material.

Sermon Keeper

4.3★  Artur Subbotkin

An unusually practical iPhone notebook that lets a listener tap any note back to the exact sermon moment, with transcription, summaries, KJV verse completion, and SOAP scanning—useful when recording is permitted, but young, iPhone-only, and dependent on unnamed cloud AI providers.

Stello

4.7★  Gracious Tech Pty Ltd

A free desktop tool that sends each recipient an encrypted, interactive web letter from your own email account—thoughtful privacy engineering with deliberate collaboration and scale limits.

The Firm Foundation

4.2★  Collin Celic

A browser-based daily discipline system for Christian men combining prayer, Scripture, goals, habits, and WHOOP metrics—coherent accountability with AI counsel that must remain subordinate to real people.

Hope Translator

4.7★  Hope Harbor Technology Limited

Live captions and AI translation let listeners follow a sermon from any phone without installing an app—but pricing is complex and the privacy policy never explains microphone or transcript handling.

Atoms

4.8★  Atoms Applications Inc.

Atoms turns James Clear’s Atomic Habits framework into reminders, repetitions, identity cues, lessons, and progress tracking—an elegant aid for consistent practices, but a religiously neutral tracker whose privacy disclosures and cross-platform quality need scrutiny.

Blank Spaces

4.6★  Jeffrey Waters

Blank Spaces replaces a noisy iPhone home screen with calm text widgets and optional friction, schedules, and app locks—effective for reclaiming attention, but still an iOS workaround rather than a true launcher or an accountability system.

Godcaster

4.5★  Paul Bailey / Godcaster.fm

Godcaster combines live Christian and conservative radio with on-demand programs, follows, queues and car playback in one free listener app—useful discovery wrapped in a station platform whose current data practices have outgrown its placeholder-filled privacy policy.

Good Feed Media

4.9★  Tierce Green Ministries, Inc. / Subsplash

Good Feed Media streams complete discipleship series, Bible study tools and all six volumes of 33 The Series without a subscription—an unusually generous library whose optional books, mature themes and Subsplash data layers need clear group leadership.

FaithNFreedomTV

3.4★  Rick B2T LLC / Blessed2Teach Ministries

FaithNFreedomTV delivers three genuinely free live channels and a large on-demand library across nearly every screen—but its fusion of Bible teaching, prophecy, partisan commentary and health advocacy demands active source checking, not passive trust.

Tugo TV

3.8★  Tugo Media Inc. / 11888820 CANADA INC.

Tugo TV gathers free faith, family, news, sports, radio and on-demand programming into a broad live-channel guide—but “family-friendly” still calls for channel-by-channel judgment.

Olive Christian Radio

4.9★  Olive Media LLC

Olive Christian Radio offers a free stream of current worship, inspirational songs, timeless selections and short biblical encouragement with favorites and a sleep timer—but its app-store privacy label omits data the official policy describes.

ZipWave TV

4.9★  ZipWave LLC

A free live-channel bundle mixing faith, international news and family programming without a required iOS account—more convenient than channel-hopping, but neither ad-free nor uniformly child-safe.

GetSermons

3.3★  GETSERMONS APP LTD

A free iPhone and Android sermon-discovery app with downloads, timestamped notes, social clips, playlists, recommendations, and AI conversation, paired with an inexpensive church publishing service—an appealing listening workflow whose rights, AI, privacy, security, and publisher-readiness documentation has not caught up with its ambition.

Playlister

4.6★  App Press LLC

A cloud-based children’s ministry presentation system that sends curriculum and media to simple Apple TV classroom players—far easier for volunteers than a production workstation, but priced per screen and dependent on careful content rights, device management, network preparation, and child-safe operations.

Every Man Ministries

4.9★  Every Man Ministries Inc. · app platform powered by Vimeo OTT

Every Man Ministries packages Kenny Luck’s evangelical men’s teaching, video studies, daily devotions, Bible plans, livestreams, prayer, and group discussion into a polished subscription app—but a narrowly gendered library, tiny store sample, identifier tracking, broad Vimeo-powered data collection, and a yearly plan that saves almost nothing deserve a clear-eyed trial.

5fish: Gospel in Every Language

4.5★  Global Recordings Network Australia

5fish is an extraordinary free library of Christian audio, illustrated programs, films, songs, testimonies, and some audio Bibles across more than 6,800 language varieties—but coverage and source type vary by language, sharing content requires cultural and relational care, and its 2014 privacy policy no longer explains Android’s current third-party sharing clearly enough.

Encouraging Radio

4.6★  Positive Alternative Radio, Inc.

Encouraging Radio puts five regional Christian stations, a year-round Christmas stream, CCM classics, and selected podcasts in one free app—but Android contains ads, station schedules still rule the experience, and its privacy disclosures do not fully agree.

BCC Media

4.9★  BCC Media STI

A Norwegian nonprofit streams polished, ad-free Bible animation, children’s series, studies, sermons, shorts, and interactive lessons across mobile, TV, and web—but the library represents Brunstad Christian Church’s teaching, account history is retained broadly, and families still need to preview.

Christian Cinema

2.6★  Christian Cinema, LLC / Cineverse

One of the oldest Christian movie stores now combines rentals, licensed purchases, and an optional subscription—but a 2.6 rating, advertising disclosures, and past library complaints demand caution.

Pando App

4.7★  God Behind Bars, Inc.

Free Christian video and Bible access built first for secure prison tablets, with remarkable reach and a broad ministry catalog—but access, impact claims, privacy, and pastoral care need careful context.

The Porch

4.7★  Watermark Community Church

A free doorway into Watermark Community Church's young-adult teaching and Tuesday gathering—strongest as a bridge to real church community, not a substitute for it.

AccessMore

3.8★  Educational Media Foundation

A free, donor-supported Christian podcast network with credible hosts and unusually broad subject coverage—better as a catalog than as a polished podcast player.

QAVA

4.6★  City on a Hill Productions, Inc.

A thoughtfully rebuilt Christian video-and-reflection library with unusually clear current privacy promises—strong for guided quiet time, but its migration losses, broad teaching roster, and stale store labels need attention.

MyTRIBE.watch

4.9★  MyTRIBE.watch / Uscreen

A homegrown, funny, chronological Bible-video subscription with printable family activities and real creative personality—promising for elementary-age engagement, but expensive and undermined by contradictory prices, age terms, and stale privacy documents.

GodTube

2.7★  Salem Web Network / Salem Media Group

A long-running free Christian video website with an active catalog and recognizable music, comedy, ministry, and inspiration—the website is useful; the neglected mobile app is not.

The Light DFW

4.9★  Rodriguez Capital Holdings, LLC / The Media Site UK

A joyful streaming-only reunion of the team and sound many North Texas listeners missed after KLTY changed—local personalities and a deeper throwback mix, with a surprisingly invasive generic radio-app layer.

K-LOVE On Demand

4.8★  Educational Media Foundation / K-LOVE, Inc.

A free video library built around Christian music artists, concerts, documentaries, lifestyle series, and devotionals—worth installing for K-LOVE fans, but much narrower and more data-intensive than its $0 price suggests.

BRAVE+

4.5★  BRAVE Books, LLC

A conservative, ad-free kids streaming service with parent-scored classics and originals—promising curation, but contradictory pricing, cancellation, and privacy disclosures require careful reading.

Dude Perfect

4.6★  Dude Perfect, LLC · operated by A Parent Media Co. Inc.

The Dude Perfect app is a genuinely free, family-oriented home for trick shots, sports challenges, and comedy—with openly Christian founders, but entertainment rather than a Christian discipleship library.

The Chip Ingram App

4.9★  Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram, Inc.

The official Living on the Edge app puts Chip Ingram’s practical evangelical teaching, daily broadcasts, notes, devotionals, and series in one free media hub—excellent for committed listeners, but narrower and more data-complex than its simple Apple label suggests.

Edifi Podcasts

4.8★  Edifi, Inc.

Edifi gathers Christian podcasts into a faith-focused discovery experience with an unusually large catalog—but its open-RSS foundation, conflicting feature claims, and four-year-old mobile builds deserve a careful look.

Redeem TV

4.8★  Christian History Institute

Christian History Institute’s donor-supported service streams more than 2,000 films, documentaries, children’s programs, and series with no ordinary subscription wall—though “worldwide” access does not make every title available everywhere.

Daystar

4.7★  Word of God Fellowship, Inc.

The official free app for Daystar Television Network combines an auto-playing 24/7 channel, on-demand programs, audio-only listening, and global streams—best for viewers who already want its charismatic Christian broadcast perspective.

Study Gateway

4.2★  HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc.

HarperCollins Christian Publishing puts thousands of Zondervan and Thomas Nelson video studies behind a transparent $7.95 personal plan—with group and church tiers that scale to 4,000-plus users.

Grace to You

3.4★  Grace to You

More than fifty-five years of John MacArthur sermons, broadcasts, devotionals, and nonstop teaching are free—but the rebuilt app’s 3.35 rating makes software reliability part of the verdict.

Canon+

4.9★  Canon Press

Canon Press combines 7,000-plus hours of Reformed audiobooks, shows, courses, and films in one ad-free subscription—but both the strong editorial viewpoint and app experience need to fit your household.

Churchome

4.9★  Churchome

Judah and Chelsea Smith's single-church app is free, donor-funded and very good at daily prayer - and the live App Store listing still sells a human Pastor Chat that Churchome closed on 3 April 2026.

VidAngel

3.6★  VidAngel Entertainment, LLC

A filtering layer that mutes profanity and skips sex and violence inside the Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, Paramount+ and Peacock subscriptions you already pay for. It supplies no films of its own, and a 2020 settlement bars it from ever touching Disney or Warner Bros. - which is a large part of why the store rating sits at 3.6.

Answers.tv

4.9★  ANSWERS IN GENESIS, INC

Answers in Genesis charges $4.99 a month for more than 7,000 videos built on one explicit premise: creation happened in six 24-hour days and the earth is thousands of years old, not billions. Whether that makes this the best-value subscription in Christian streaming or an unusable one turns on a single question - and it is not the price.

Grace Media

4.9★  Grace Community Church

Grace Community Church gives away its entire video catalogue - documentaries, hymn teaching, a children's series, the Sunday livestream - for nothing, with no ads and no in-app purchases. It is also not the app that holds John MacArthur's sermon archive, and nothing in the store listing tells you that -

Angel Studios

4.9★  Angel Studios, Inc.

A publicly traded studio that lets its paying members vote on what gets greenlit, then sells access through three tiers starting at $12 a month - and the series that built the company now streams somewhere else.

CBN Radio

4.8★  The Christian Broadcasting Network, Inc

Twelve continuous Christian music streams from a 501(c)(3) that took in $299.2 million in donations last year - and the app is still labelled 'Contains ads' on Google Play.

UP Faith & Family

4.6★  UP Faith & Family, LLC (UP Entertainment)

The most heavily rated of the faith-and-family streaming subscriptions, and one of the cheapest at $5.99 a month - with a geographic wall its own help centre states plainly and most write-ups leave out.

Bentkey

4.7★  Bentkey Adventures LLC

A well-rated, genuinely ad-free kids' streaming service with charming originals - sold at a price that three of the vendor's own pages describe three different ways, on an annual-only, non-refundable commitment.

CBN Family

4.4★  The Christian Broadcasting Network, Inc. (501(c)(3) nonprofit)

The only faith streaming app in this category that is actually free at its base tier rather than free-for-seven-days - though what sits above that base is a donor partnership, not a subscription, and the app publishes less about itself than any rival here.

Wild Brothers TV

4.8★  Wild Brothers Productions LLC

A missionary family's adventure and wildlife channel with the highest App Store score in this category - sold with no free trial, no published refund policy, and a children's chat feature whose moderation is documented nowhere at all.

SermonAudio

4.1★  SermonAudio.com, Inc.

The largest free sermon archive on the internet, with deep roots in conservative Reformed circles - and a surprisingly capable set of phone and smart-TV apps wrapped around it.

The Chosen

4.7★  The Chosen, Inc. / Come and See Foundation

The Chosen has quietly become the most-watched depiction of Jesus in history, and the official app is the front door to all of it - every episode, every season, every roundtable, free.

Pure Flix

4.5★  Great American Media (originally Affirm Films / Sony Pictures)

The original "Christian Netflix" is now Great American Pure Flix, and its pitch is unchanged - a deep library of family-safe faith films, kids shows, and originals you can let any age in the house watch without a second thought.

Minno

4.5★  Minno (formerly Jelly Telly) - Phil Vischer / Winsome Truth

The streaming app from the team behind VeggieTales and What’s in the Bible? - a curated, ad-free home for Christian kids’ video between ages 2 and 10, with a parent dashboard that actually does something.

Yippee TV

4.7★  Yippee TV, Inc.

A newer, tightly curated streaming app for Christian families that sits somewhere between Minno and Pure Flix Kids - smaller catalog, bigger guardrails, and a growing slate of originals.

TBN+

4.8★  Trinity Broadcasting Network

The streaming home of Trinity Broadcasting Network, free on every major device - and surprisingly deep once you start digging.

Hillsong

4.1★  Hillsong Church

The official mobile home of one of the most-sung worship catalogs on earth - and a paid teaching tier that asks more of you than the music does.

Hope Channel

4.3★  Hope Channel International (Seventh-day Adventist Church)

The Seventh-day Adventist Church’s official global streaming network, free across every major platform - and shaped end-to-end by Adventist distinctives.

Bethel.tv

4.9★  Bethel Church (Redding, CA)

The streaming home of Bethel Church (Redding) and Bethel Music - sermons, BSSM teaching, conference replays, and a decade-deep worship catalog in one app.

The JESUS Film Project

4.5★  Cru / JESUS Film Project

The dedicated streaming app for the 1979 JESUS film and its companion shorts, now translated into more than 2,000 languages - and that number alone explains why this app exists.

Moody Radio

4.9★  Moody Bible Institute

The free streaming app for Moody Bible Institute’s Christian radio network - listen live to local and internet stations, catch favorite teaching and talk programs on demand, and take it all into the car with CarPlay.

AudioVerse

4.7★  AudioVerse

A free, deep library of Christian audio - more than 45,000 sermons, lectures, audiobooks, Scripture readings, and songs from the Seventh-day Adventist tradition, all downloadable for offline listening.

Worship Apps26 reviews

Chord charts, multitracks, sheet music, and tools for worship leaders. See the full worship apps guide →

CaptionKit

4.0★  Hunt Creative House / James Hunt

CaptionKit gives churches a practical path from soundboard audio to live captions, translated text and spoken mobile translation—with unusually transparent modular pricing, but privacy and accuracy still need local testing.

Kaleo AI

4.9★  EID Systems Inc.

Kaleo AI streams church services into live captions and 150+ translated languages, with theology-aware vocabulary and simple fixed plans—but human review and stronger data-governance answers remain essential.

Asaph

4.9★  Three Times Good Pty Ltd

An ambitious AI workspace for sermon-aligned setlists, song analysis and local feedback—valuable as a planning assistant, risky if its theology scores become a substitute for pastoral judgment.

PraiseTune

4.5★  Manuel Di Criscito

A polished cross-platform songbook for lyrics, chords, instant transposition, setlists, metronome, offline use, PDF and ChordPro import, and team sharing—especially attractive for small worship teams, but music licensing, broad user-content terms, pricing at checkout, and single-founder continuity deserve attention.

SmartVerses

4.5★  SmartVerses

Presentation software that listens for quoted or paraphrased Scripture and can feed a whole live-service workflow—ambitious and useful, provided a human operator remains firmly in control.

MxU

4.4★  Big Horn Media LLC / MxU

MxU has grown from a church production training library into a mobile-first operating system for worship and tech volunteers—powerful for structured onboarding and Sunday execution, but expensive enough that churches should require a real adoption plan before the nonrefundable first purchase.

Zemare

4.2★  Abenezer Bade / KF System

Zemare is a rare searchable reference for thousands of Ethiopian gospel-song lyrics organized by artist, album, choir, language, genre, and musical scale, with annotations and community proposals—but the iOS tracking disclosure, Android advertising, online dependency, and unclear lyric-rights process deserve attention.

ChristianRock.Net

4.3★  ChristianRock.Net

Six listener-funded stations deliver a rare, genuinely free mix of Christian rock, hard rock, classic rock, pop, edgy worship, and country gospel across web, mobile, cars, Alexa, Roku, and TuneIn—but the Android app’s 3.8 rating and repeated background-playback failures make the platform choice matter.

Nepali Christian Lyrics & Chords

4.8★  Paurakh Sharma Humagain

A rare, actively maintained songbook built around the real needs of Nepali-speaking worship teams—but privacy and song-rights documentation lag far behind the app.

OnStage

4.8★  AV Technology LLC

A modern all-in-one workspace for worship charts, setlists, rehearsals, schedules, chat, and live performance—but conflicting prices and missing legal pages make due diligence essential.

Planning Center Music Stand

3.5★  Ministry Centered Technologies, Inc. (Planning Center)

The most convenient digital music reader for churches already building services in Planning Center—excellent workflow integration, but not a standalone chart app and not reliable enough to skip a Sunday backup plan.

Air1

4.4★  Educational Media Foundation / K-LOVE, Inc.

Air1 is K-LOVE’s worship-focused sister network, combining a free live station, song favorites, artist content, daily verses, and a prayer community—easy to love for lean-back worship, but not a choose-any-song service and not a private prayer journal.

Praise Break

4.7★  Jonathan Hutchinson

Praise Break puts a compact gospel praise-band soundboard and organ-style preaching chords on a phone—joyfully specific and inexpensive, but far less documented or flexible than a real accompaniment platform.

Unceasing Worship

4.8★  International House of Prayer

IHOPKC’s niche streaming service preserves spontaneous prayer-room worship, intercession, live archives, and 76 legacy albums—valuable for listeners who want that exact charismatic worship tradition, but not a general Christian music replacement.

K-LOVE

4.6★  Educational Media Foundation

The K-LOVE app turns the national Christian radio network into a free bundle of live music streams, artist content, favorites, daily Scripture, and community prayer—but it remains radio, not an on-demand music service.

OnSong

4.5★  OnSong, LLC

The chord-chart app that quietly runs most iPad-toting worship teams on Sunday morning - and the reason your acoustic guitarist hasn’t printed a chart in five years.

MultiTracks.com

4.8★  MultiTracks.com

The officially licensed stem library and Playback session player behind most touring worship rigs and large-church Sunday mornings - and the closest thing the industry has to a default.

Loop Community

4.4★  Loop Community

The backing-tracks app where any worship leader can upload tracks for any song - a smaller catalog than the major-label competitors, but a wildly broader one for indie songs, hymn arrangements, and the deep cuts your church actually sings.

ProPresenter

2.8★  Renewed Vision

The presentation software running the lyrics, sermon slides, and IMAG feeds at most modern church services - and the reason your worship pastor will not switch.

EasyWorship

3.9★  Softouch Development, Inc.

The presentation software that quietly runs the Sunday slides at thousands of Windows-running churches - and costs a fraction of what its Mac-favoring rival does.

Faithlife Proclaim

4.3★  Faithlife

The cloud-native worship presentation app from the company behind Logos, built so your worship pastor, tech lead, and volunteer can all edit the same Sunday service at the same time - without ever emailing a file.

WorshipTools Charts

4.8★  WorshipTools

A free, full-featured chord chart manager in a category dominated by paid apps - and the rare worship tool that doesn’t nickel-and-dime you on the basics.

PraiseCharts

4.4★  PraiseCharts

The mobile and iPad companion to PraiseCharts.com - and the app most worship leaders quietly reach for when the rehearsal track has to be running in three minutes -

CCLI SongSelect

4.4★  Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI)

The licensing-body-owned worship-song hub bundled with your CCLI license - the one app most worship teams already pay for without realizing it.

OpenLP

3.1★  OpenLP Project (volunteer community)

The free, open-source worship presentation app that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux - and quietly powers thousands of small churches that can’t justify a ProPresenter subscription.

Sing! Worship

4.5★  Getty Music (Keith & Kristyn Getty)

The worship app for congregations that love hymn-shaped theology with a modern band - built around the catalog behind "In Christ Alone."

Church Management Software31 reviews

People, services, groups, giving, and church-app platforms. See the full church management software guide →

B1 Church

4.9★  Live Church Solutions

A genuinely free, open-source church platform - app, website, giving and check-in on one database - run by an Oklahoma nonprofit. The catch is not the price - it is that the vendor own docs call the native app deprecated.

Involv Chat (church.chat)

4.9★  Carson Suite LLC

Involv Chat combines ministry-team messaging, rosters, blocked dates and service scheduling in a focused church workspace—useful when leaders protect volunteer consent and resist turning attendance or gifts data into a spiritual score.

Engage Spaces

4.8★  Engage Spaces Inc.

Engage Spaces combines contacts, training, events, groups, automation, reporting and communication for distributed ministries at $50 per location—but the mandatory onboarding fee, currency, SLA and security evidence need a sales-stage review.

ChurchSoftware

4.9★  ChurchSoftware.com / Lyt House Studio LLC

ChurchSoftware—formerly StoreHouse—offers an unusually broad church-management core for $0, including giving, check-in, accounting and a shared mobile app, while charging transparently for vendor-heavy extras.

Pastor Notes App

4.9★  Concierge Contacts Pty Ltd

A two-app system that lets leaders publish sermon notes and invite live congregational response while attendees use the free Bible Notes companion—but its pricing math, refund terms and app privacy disclosures need correction before a church commits.

Take Root

4.9★  Rooted Software LLC

A low-cost, offline-friendly relationship tracker built specifically for evangelism and discipleship follow-up—more intentional than a spreadsheet, but its old generic privacy policy does not adequately describe the sensitive ministry data the product exists to hold.

myChelper

4.2★  Faith Software, Inc.

A nonprofit-built church hub combining a shared mobile app, synchronized website, groups, push messages, daily Scripture, and Stripe Connect giving with a genuinely useful free entry—but inconsistent public fee claims and unusually short subscription terms require written clarification before donations or a branded-app commitment.

StraightText

4.2★  cdot4, LLC

Desktop bulk texting from the same phone number people already recognize—effective for small, consented lists, but “unlimited” never overrides carrier, privacy, safeguarding, or TCPA obligations.

Altar Live

4.0★  JX3 Digital LLC

Altar Live turns a one-way church stream into a hosted digital gathering with chat, tables, rooms and meetings—but leaders must price the live calculator and govern the people layer carefully.

Develop.Me

4.9★  Cultivate Leadership Institute LLC

Develop.Me packages course building, cohorts, discussion, assignments, gamification and mobile learning for churches and mission-driven organizations—with unlimited learners on paid plans, but a vague free tier and a 2022 website privacy notice leave procurement questions open.

VisitorReach

4.9★  Visitor Reach, LLC

VisitorReach combines managed digital advertising, local texting numbers, AI-assisted replies, automated follow-up journeys, a mobile inbox, NFC connection cards, coaching, and church-database integrations—but unpublished prices and the sensitivity of seeker conversations make this a procurement decision, not a simple app download.

Gracely

4.9★  Gracely LLC

Gracely is an unusually affordable church-management platform with unlimited members, free migration, a capable free plan, flat-rate paid tiers, giving, accounting, child check-in, communication, websites, and the My Gracely member app—but its low price should not shorten security, privacy, finance, or safeguarding review.

Church Metrics by Gloo

4.1★  Gloo LLC · originally created by Life.Church

Church Metrics remains a remarkably capable free dashboard for attendance, baptisms, salvations, giving, volunteers, campuses, custom categories, and network reports—but Gloo synchronization, national comparisons, AI-generated insights, and spiritually sensitive numbers demand definitions, permissions, consent, and governance that a free account cannot supply for you.

One Church Software / My One Church App

4.2★  One Church Software, Inc.

One Church Software is a capable all-in-one ChMS with contacts, groups, check-in, giving, events, serving, sermons, forms, and a free shared member app—but profile-based pricing and add-ons accumulate, sensitive church data demands disciplined permissions, and its store privacy labels show only part of the service.

ShareFaith

3.5★  Sharefaith Inc. · Ministry Brands

A broad church subscription combines media, kids curriculum, website hosting, giving, and a member app—but the exact App Store product is only a congregant shell, while stale iOS software, opaque add-ons, and contradictory plan cards make procurement harder than it should be.

Gloo Communications

2.3★  Gloo, LLC

A capable church-texting workspace with a genuinely useful free entry point—but contradictory credit pages and a 2.3-star iPhone app demand a careful pilot.

Called

4.9★  Called, LLC

A thoughtfully designed church-community layer for chat, groups, prayer, events, and shepherding—stronger on engagement than full ChMS operations, with a costly pricing cliff and conflicting youth rules.

Flare - For Groups

4.9★  Flare App, Inc.

Flare is a genuinely free, genuinely capable group app with attendance tracking, admin-only announcements and QR check-in - and its own site, FAQ, tutorials and 28 blog posts never once mention a church, a ministry, or prayer.

Rock RMS

4.4★  Spark Development Network (501(c)(3))

A full church management system and digital ministry platform given away with no licence fee by a 501(c)(3) - and the only question that matters is what it costs to actually run, which is not nothing.

Aplos

4.1★  Aplos Software, LLC (part of Velora)

Fund accounting built for churches rather than adapted from business bookkeeping, started in 2009 by a CPA who could not find it for his own church - and now a brand inside a private-equity-backed suite, which is worth thinking about either way.

Text In Church

4.8★  Text In Church (App Store seller: Select Photo-Graphics LLC)

A church texting service built around automated guest follow-up, now available as an add-on inside Planning Center - and priced by a monthly text allotment that is counted per recipient, which changes the sum entirely.

Clearstream

4.9★  Clearstream, LLC

Bootstrapped since 2010, founder-owned, church-only since around 2016, with the deepest integration list in church texting and a compliance position most buyers never think to ask about - sold on a credit ladder that punishes buying too small.

Flocknote

4.3★  Flocknote

A church communication platform with a household database attached, built first and most seriously for Catholic parishes - free forever under 40 members, then priced on the size of your roster rather than how much you use it.

Planning Center

3.7★  Planning Center

Planning Center has quietly become the operating system that most US churches actually run on - and the modular pricing is the reason it stuck.

Tithe.ly

4.5★  Tithe.ly

Tithe.ly has quietly become the default church platform for small and mid-sized congregations - giving, app, website, and ChMS under one login, starting free.

Subsplash

4.9★  Subsplash, Inc.

The all-in-one church platform megachurches keep choosing - fully custom-branded apps across phone, web, and TV that make a 5,000-member ministry feel like an Apple keynote.

ChMeetings

4.6★  ChMeetings

A church management platform built for the whole world, not just the United States - and the only serious option with a real free tier for small congregations.

Pushpay

2.7★  Pushpay Holdings (acquired Church Community Builder in 2018)

The platform a striking share of the largest US churches run their giving, their ChMS, and their app on - and the one most small churches cannot justify writing a check for.

Givelify

4.9★  Givelify, LLC

The church giving app that won the donor side of the market by treating the person in the pew as the customer - and letting the church benefit from that gravity.

Faithlife Equip

4.1★  Faithlife Corporation

The church platform side of the Faithlife ecosystem - and the only one that hands a Logos-trained pastor a unified workflow from study to Sunday morning.

Breeze ChMS

2.7★  Breeze ChMS (a Tithe.ly company)

A church management system built for the small-to-mid church that wants member records, check-in, and giving without a Planning Center-sized learning curve - and the flat-rate pricing is the part that wins the argument.

Christian Dating Apps6 reviews

Faith-filterable dating for marriage-intent Christians. See the full christian dating apps guide →

Christian Fasting Apps3 reviews

Lenten challenges, 90-day asceticism programs, and structured fasts. See the full christian fasting apps guide →

Budgeting & Stewardship Apps7 reviews

Where the money actually goes - budgeting tools, and the ones built on a stewardship framework. See the full budgeting & stewardship apps guide →

Mooch

4.8★  Silvaco, LLC / Okie Apps

Mooch turns the tools, books, baby gear, kitchen equipment, games, and other possessions already inside a trusted friend network into a private lend-and-borrow inventory—but weak Android ratings, unsupported marketing statistics, and implausibly thin “no data collected” disclosures limit confidence.

EveryDollar

4.7★  The Lampo Group Incorporated

Ramsey Solutions' zero-based budgeting app, relaunched in January 2026, with a genuinely usable free tier and every piece of automation behind a paywall - and it only makes sense if you have already decided to work the Baby Steps in order.

YNAB

4.8★  You Need A Budget LLC

A zero-based budgeting method with software attached, sold at $14.99 a month or $109 a year with no free tier of any kind - and the most expensive way to discover you were never going to do the weekly work.

Monarch Money

4.9★  Monarch Money, Inc.

The strongest general-purpose money tracker in this category and the one with no method attached - it shows you everything you own and owe, brokerages included, and declines to tell you what to do about it. No free tier at any price, and not a Christian product.

Goodbudget

4.6★  Dayspring Technologies, Inc.

Digital cash envelopes from Dayspring Technologies, with the only permanently free tier among the serious budgeting apps and a paid tier that quietly added the bank syncing Goodbudget was once famous for refusing - the free plan is still manual entry, but that is now a price point rather than a principle.

AdelFi

4.8★  AdelFi Credit Union

AdelFi is a member-owned Christian credit union, not a budgeting app, and its most important fact contradicts its own app listing: the credit union tells members "By members' choice, this institution is not federally insured," while the App Store description ends "Federally insured by NCUA" - two statements that cannot both be true.

FaithFi

4.1★  FAITHFI: FAITH & FINANCE, LLC

The app arm of Faith & Finance, the daily biblical-stewardship broadcast Larry Burkett began in 1988, now owned by Kingdom Advisors and wrapped around a Plaid-connected envelope budgeter. The teaching half is free to anyone with a podcast player - the budgeting half is not free at all, because every bank connection sits behind Pro.

Christian Journaling Apps9 reviews

Scripture journaling, prayer journals, and reflective writing tools. See the full christian journaling apps guide →

Dreamnl Christian Dream Journal

4.9★  Made Responsively Ltd

Dreamnl captures dreams by text, voice or photographed paper, then adds AI reflection questions, prayer and a personal symbol library—but intimate dream content crosses a substantial third-party data surface.

Restore + Revive Journal

4.8★  Lifestyle of Prayer, LLC

A thoughtful topical Bible journal combines 450+ guided days, voice entry, SMS prompts, review sessions, commentary, and export—but its unusually broad content license and conflicting encryption disclosures deserve attention before you record private struggles.

Anchor Christian: Daily Mood

4.8★  Rooftop Labs, LLC

A polished iPhone check-in turns mood, prayer, gratitude, confession, and Scripture into a small daily rhythm—but the subscription-only app does not disclose its public price, AI provider, prompt handling, theological review, or user-content retention clearly enough for sensitive spiritual journaling.

Bible Tiles

3.8★  Bible Tiles · Joseph Yaksich

A remarkably capable, private, and genuinely free canvas for writing and drawing directly over Scripture—but unresolved reports of notes failing to save change the recommendation.

Spirit Notes

4.8★  Everprise PTY LTD

A one-person Australian studio built the sermon-notes app that types the verse for you and timestamps each line against the recording, so a tap replays the moment it was preached. Five notes are free with no account at all - then $49.99 a year for something YouVersion gives away.

Neurocycle

4.8★  SWITCH ON YOUR BRAIN INTERNATIONAL LLC

A 63-day guided written-reflection program built on Dr Caroline Leaf's five-step method, sold on the claim of "up to 81% improvement in managing symptoms of anxiety and depression." Its own terms say the product is "NOT INTENDED, DESIGNED, OR IMPLIED TO DIAGNOSE, CURE, MITIGATE, PREVENT, TREAT OR PROVIDE THERAPY FOR ANY CONDITION" - which is worth reading next to the App Store title, Stress Therapy: Neurocycle.

Pencil Bible

4.2★  Launchround Inc.

Pencil Bible turns Scripture into a canvas you can write on with an Apple Pencil, and hands over 14 translations at no charge to get you started. Then it charges twice - once for the subscription, again for the translation you actually wanted - and that is where the missing star lives.

Psalmlog

4.4★  Psalmlog

Psalmlog turns the morning walk, the kitchen-counter pause, and the late-night drive into a real prayer journal - speak it, and Scripture comes back.

Stones

4.2★  Stones Devotional, Inc.

A quietly excellent Christian journal built around one image - the pile of stones Israel set up at the Jordan to remember what God had done - and most of the rest of the app earns that opening promise.
