Frequently Asked Questions

No. Bible Reading Plan is completely free, and it will stay that way. There's no subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads, and you never need a credit card.

The NIV (New International Version) is owned by a publisher, and its license doesn't allow it to be built into a free app like this one. All 11 translations in Bible Reading Plan are free for anyone to share, which is why we can include them.

If you like the NIV, try the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) or the World English Bible (WEB). Both are written in clear, modern English. You can switch translations anytime with Change plan.

Up to 10 years (120 months).

When you set up your plan, pick 6, 12, 18, or 24 months, choose to finish by the end of the year, or tap Custom duration and enter any number of months from 1 to 120. The longer your plan, the shorter each day's reading. A 10-year plan is about 9 verses a day.

Need more time later? Change plan lets you add up to 3 more years at a time.

Yes, anytime. On the main screen, tap the gear button at the top, then tap Change plan.

You can switch your Bible translation, give yourself more or less time, include or skip weekends, or read just the Old or New Testament. Before you save, you'll see your new daily reading and finish date.

The readings you've already finished, your streak, and your calendar are all kept.

If you only want a different pace, translation, or timeline, use Change plan instead. It keeps everything you've already read.

To begin a brand-new plan from the very beginning, tap the gear button at the top of the main screen, then tap Start Fresh.

You'll be asked to confirm. Start Fresh deletes your current plan and all your progress, including your streak and calendar, and it can't be undone. Then you'll set up a new plan.

Look at the Your Progress box on the main screen. It tells you whether you're on track, or how many days ahead or behind you are.

To see each day, tap the calendar button at the top of the main screen. Green days are days you read, and red days are days you missed.

Don't worry, nothing gets skipped. Your next reading is always the one right after the last one you finished, and the Your Progress box shows how many days behind you are.

To catch up, read more than one reading in a day. After you tap Mark as Read, the next reading appears right away, so you can keep going.

If you'd rather not double up, use Change plan to give yourself more time. It spreads the rest of your readings out starting today and puts you back on track.

Fun facts are short, true stories about how the passage you're reading shows up in the wider world: songs, movies, art, history, sports, space, and everyday sayings. Each one tells you where the information came from. They're just for fun and don't explain or interpret the Bible.

When a chapter or verse has a fun fact, you'll see a small sparkle button next to it. Tap it to read the fact.

Fun facts never pop up on their own, so they won't interrupt your reading. To turn them on or off, tap the gear button at the top of the main screen, then tap the Fun facts switch.
