SmartGroups | Bible Study

I have been trying to figure out how to run bible studies more efficiently without making it disjointed in texts, calendars and emails. This was literally everything I wanted all rolled into one! You can customize it and make it as rich in content or simple. The AI component is also very useful in bringing in thoughtful questions to accompany the study. Trust me, you will not regret using this for the next study. I’ve done it for Women and now working with Youth. A great way to help disciple all ages.

I really like this app! As with all apps, it can be confusing learning to navigate all the functions of the app when you 1st download it. However, one of the employees (Tracey) reached out to me, just out of courtesy, to offer to conduct a demo with me & I had not even contacted them beforehand! Not only did Tracey conduct the demo, but the app developer joined in to personally show me how to navigate the app, as well! Now that's great customer service! I love that they have an events calendar to keep track of the days & times set for bible study meetings. I love the fact that this app is an interactive app. Members of your group can see & access previous studies & download them in pdf. Members can RSVP to studies. Two of my favorite concepts they created are the ability to access the Bible within the app & you can change it to other translations. It offers the ability to see both translations side by side, as well as, cross references beneath, also, one of my favorite functionalities!! I like that the app has Al that can create discussion questions for you which can be edited or deleted if something else is preferred. I love that I can build my own bible study from scratch & make it interactive by: adding multiple choice questions, checkboxes, pictures, video links, worship songs within the study or go find your own on Youtube!!! You can even relocate the pages to another part of your bible study, add line breaks or add items in between texts, if necessary. I can add icebreaker questions, prayer requests (private or public) & surveys. I do wish the app gave me the ability to be able to share my screen (but it's not that big of a deal because I can add the things I would have shared by screen when I build my bible study from scratch). I also would like to be able to save my video conferences & these are the reasons I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, this is a really good app & not only worth trying out, but keeping in your arsenal of biblical resources! I know I will! Did I mention, that it’s FREE??!! This is another reason to try it!!

This is such a helpful tool to manage and guide small groups through bible study. Literally everyone is on the same page with their phone or pad. The group leader aka teacher is in control and you can follow along easily - even with your own preferred translation side by side. At the end you can even have a report or protocol about the topic and what has been done so nothing is lost. This is a great tool for novices and professionals alike.
