TONIGHT IN THREE STEPS

1. Choose a chapter, or tap Tonight to continue your bedtime plan.
2. Set the sleep timer: 15 to 120 minutes, any custom length, or the end of the chapter.
3. Lock the screen. Narration keeps playing and stops when the timer ends.

NEW IN 1.1 • Read along: the passage being read is highlighted on screen, in three large text sizes. Hide it with one tap. • Bedtime picks: Psalms for Sleep, Comfort from the Gospels, the Gospel of John and a Month of Proverbs. • One chapter a night: the app remembers your place and shows tonight's chapter when you open it. • Traditional Chinese text with Mandarin or Cantonese narration, and a Traditional Chinese interface. • Choose your voice, and see which installed voices are Enhanced or Premium. • Sleep timer: 90 and 120 minutes, custom times from 5 to 180 minutes, "or end of chapter, whichever comes first", and a 1, 3 or 5 minute fade. • Your timer is remembered for the next night. • Back 30 seconds and forward 30 seconds.

EVERYTHING ELSE • All 66 books and 1,189 chapters, bundled on your device — no internet needed. • Switch between English and Chinese without losing your place. • Lock screen, headphone and Control Center controls. • Pauses for calls and resumes afterwards; pauses when headphones disconnect. • Picks up where you stopped, down to the paragraph. • Speeds 0.8x, 0.9x and 1.0x. • Dark mode by default, light mode available. iPhone and iPad.
