## Description

Read Scripture helps you read the Bible for yourself through a year-long reading plan, complemented by engaging videos from the Bible Project that explain every book, major gospel themes, and practical tips for reading well.

The experience is housed in a beautifully designed app and is suitable for personal study or group study. Scripture quotations come from the ESV Bible (with permission) to support thoughtful, accessible Scripture study.

## Review summary

Read Scripture is widely praised for its digestible, chronological Bible flow, daily bite-sized readings, and Bible Project videos that illuminate themes and help reading through the whole Bible in a year. Users also value the portable, plan-driven format and the sense of progress tracking. Repeated drawbacks include data loss after updates and new login/email requirements, captions that can’t be turned off, a missing dark mode, and various stability issues (crashes, the app not opening, and progress not loading). Overall, it remains a strong resource for guided Bible reading when these issues are addressed.

### Pros

- Digestible, chronological Bible flow with titles and bite-sized daily readings.
- Bible Project videos provide clear explanations of themes and help connect each book to the overall narrative.
- Year-long reading plan / daily structure makes it easy to read through the entire Bible.
- Handy and portable reading that’s easier than carrying a physical Bible; supports on-the-go study.
- Strong educational and motivational value for both new and long-time readers.

### Cons

- Progress can be lost or reset after updates; some users are forced to sign in or provide an email, wiping reading progress.
- Video captions/closed captions appear by default or cannot be turned off, which can be distracting.
- Lack of a dark mode and requests for a dark UI are frequently noted by users.
- Stability and data issues after updates (crashes, app won’t open, progress not loading, and occasional content truncation).
