Common questions
Can I read without an internet connection? Yes. Download a sermon’s audio or transcript from its page, and the King James Version and Berean Standard Bible are built in. Downloads are listed in Library › Downloads.
How does read-along work? While a sermon plays, the text follows the recording word by word or paragraph by paragraph. It needs iOS 26 and Apple’s on-device speech recognition, and works best with the recording downloaded. The first time, preparing a sermon can take a few minutes; it continues in the background.
How do I move my notes to a new iPhone? Open Library, tap the Backup & Restore button (the drive icon), choose Create Backup and save the file to Files or iCloud Drive. On the new iPhone, choose Restore Backup and pick the file. Restoring adds to what is already there; nothing is deleted.
Where are my prayers, notes and pictures? In Library: Prayer at the top, then Notes and My Images. Long-press a note or verse to add labels.
How do I turn off reminders? In Library › Prayer, tap More › Daily Reminder. For a reading plan, open the plan and choose Plan Settings › Reminder.
Do tips unlock anything? No. Everything in the app is free. Tips are optional and handled by Apple. To cancel the monthly supporter subscription, open Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions on your iPhone. For refunds, use reportaproblem.apple.com.
Privacy
The app has no accounts or tracking, and your notes stay on your device. Read the privacy policy.
