ScriptureVerse

Try ScriptureVerse before anyone else

ScriptureVerse is a Bible app. You can read the Bible, follow a reading plan, pray, and ask questions about any verse. We are testing it with a small group before it goes on the App Store, and we would love your help.

iPhone and iPad only for now. On an iPad it opens in the iPhone layout. It does not work on Android phones or on a computer yet. ScriptureVerse needs iOS 16.4 or later, which runs on an iPhone 8 or newer.

How to join

  1. Step 1: Open this page on your iPhone

    If you are reading this on your iPhone, you are already here. On a computer, point your iPhone's camera at this code and tap the link that appears.

  2. Step 2: Install TestFlight

    TestFlight is Apple's app for trying apps before they come out. Tap the button, then tap Get on the App Store.

    Get TestFlight

  3. Step 3: Come back here and tap Join the beta

    When TestFlight is installed, come back to this page and tap this button.

    Join the beta

    If it says “This beta isn't accepting any new testers right now”, Apple is usually still checking the newest version, or the beta is full for now. Please try again in a day or two.

  4. Step 4: Tap Accept, then Install

    TestFlight opens and shows ScriptureVerse. Tap Accept, then tap Install. If it asks for a newer iPhone software version, open Settings, then General, then Software Update.

  5. Step 5: Open ScriptureVerse

    Tap Open in TestFlight, or find ScriptureVerse on your Home Screen. Then choose one:

    • Tap Continue without an account to look around first. Nothing to type.
    • Or tap Get started, answer a few screens of short questions, and make an account. You can sign in with Apple, so there is no new password to remember. If a screen then asks you to upgrade, you can skip it: tap the X at the top to carry on.

What to try first

  • A reading plan

    Tap Plans at the bottom, choose a plan, and tap Start this plan.

  • The Rosary

    On Today, scroll down to the Extras card (it says Maps and journeys) and tap it. Then tap Pray the Rosary: if it is not near the top, it is at the bottom, under More prayers. It takes you through the five decades, one prayer at a time.

  • The Teacher

    On Today, tap Ask the Teacher and ask anything about a verse. The Teacher needs an account: if you have not made one, it will ask you to sign in. The first time you ask, it explains how it uses AI; tap I agree and your question goes on.

  • Listen

    Tap Bible at the bottom, then the headphones at the top, and press play to hear the chapter read aloud. If there are no headphones, that translation has no recording yet.

Tell us what you think

Anything that is confusing, broken, or lovely, we want to hear it. There are two easy ways.

  1. With a screenshot. While ScriptureVerse is open, take a screenshot (press the side button and the volume up button together; on an iPhone with a Home button, press the side button and the Home button). Tap the small picture in the bottom left corner, tap Done, then tap Share Beta Feedback. Write a few words and tap Submit.
  2. In TestFlight. Open TestFlight, tap ScriptureVerse, then tap Send Beta Feedback.

Or write to us at support@scriptureverse.app.

New versions

We will send new versions often. TestFlight tells you when one is ready: open TestFlight and tap Update. To have them install by themselves, open TestFlight, tap ScriptureVerse, and turn on Automatic Updates.
