Features & Capabilities

The 600+ central writings of the Baha'i Faith, in a reader that feels like a book. Warm typography, full-text search, your notes and favorites - all offline, all private.

Baha'i Readings is a quiet, personal companion for the central writings of the Baha'i Faith. Browse 600+ works - from Gleanings and The Hidden Words to The Kitab-i-Aqdas, Some Answered Questions, and more - in a reader designed to feel like a book, not a web page.

Read at your own pace. Switch between light, sepia, and dark themes, pick serif or sans, and choose from five reading sizes. The reader remembers where you left off in every writing, so returning is one tap.

Search across everything at once. Type a phrase and the app scans every writing and shows matches grouped by book, with a snippet for each hit. Searches are diacritic- and case-insensitive, so Baha finds Baha'u'llah.

Keep your place, your highlights, and your notes. Save a favorite, jot a note, tie a passage to a thought. Everything lives on your device. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Listen mode reads any writing aloud. Choose a speed and let the words come to you while you walk, cook, or commute.

A gentle starter path. New to the Writings? Answer one question about what you are looking for - solace, growth, or curiosity - and the app suggests five short passages to begin with.

Private by default. No account, no sign-in, no ads. The app works entirely offline. A small anonymous counter (e.g. "a writing was opened") tells us the app is alive; no text, no identifiers, and no IP address is collected or stored.

A small, careful app. Open it, find a passage, close it, and get on with your day.

Thank you for creating this rich and free resource for iPhones. I use it constantly. Previously, I had a similar app for my android and loved it too. It had one very convenient feature which I miss a great deal, and I am wondering if you’d consider adding it to this app: It automatically bookmarked the last place I read in any book. When I went back to read the next time, it opened to the exact place I had stopped reading before, making finishing a book effortless. Thank you for all your efforts.

The print is too big, and don’t see settings to make print smaller. Otherwise, this is a wonderful and very useful app.I hope I am just missing something.

This an exceptional application and I would give it 9 stars if I could but the app store only lets me do 5.
