The Best Christian Devotional Apps
Daily devotionals, reading plans, and morning quiet-time companions.
Devotional apps are about showing up daily, so the best one is the one whose voice you'll actually return to. Our Daily Bread is the long-running free standard; She Reads Truth and First 5 pair Scripture with written reflection for a more in-depth quiet time; Glorify wraps devotionals, worship, and prayer into a single morning routine. The differences are content depth, tone, and whether you want reading, audio, or both.
Because a devotional is a relationship with a writer's voice, sample a few entries before committing. Most apps are free with optional premium content, and several are fully free, so the table is the quickest way to see where a subscription buys real added depth versus just removing ads.

Spoken Gospel
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.
Glorify
The Christian app that feels like Calm - five-minute devotionals, ambient worship, sleep stories, and a guided journal in one beautifully designed package.
My Daily Bread
A 70-year-old Catholic devotional classic, rebuilt as a quiet little phone app - and the dialogue format is what keeps people coming back.
Bible in One Year
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
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
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
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
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.
Joel Osteen
The mobile front door to the largest Protestant church in the United States - and to the most-broadcast, most-debated mainstream preacher in America.
First15
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.
Lasting
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.
Celebrate Recovery
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.
First 5
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.
MacArthur Daily Bible
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.
Our Daily Bread
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.
She Reads Truth
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.
He Reads Truth
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.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best daily devotional app?
Our Daily Bread is the most popular free option and a safe first pick. For a deeper, more reflective quiet time, She Reads Truth and First 5 are excellent; Glorify is best if you want devotional, worship, and prayer in one daily flow.
Are devotional apps free?
Many are. Our Daily Bread and First 5 are free; She Reads Truth and Glorify offer free content with a premium tier. The comparison table shows exactly what each paywall unlocks.
What's a good devotional app for women?
She Reads Truth is built around women's Bible study and community, and First 5 (from Proverbs 31 Ministries) is widely used by women. Both pair daily Scripture with written reflection rather than a one-line thought.
Devotional app or reading plan - what's the difference?
A reading plan walks you through Bible passages on a schedule; a devotional adds a writer's reflection on top. Many apps offer both. If you want guided commentary alongside the text, pick a devotional app; if you just want to read through Scripture, a reading-plan app is enough.
