The handful of Bible-app features, big print, audio, bookmarks, and sharing, that help the most.

A good Bible app can put the whole of Scripture, in big readable letters, with a voice to read it aloud to you, right in your pocket. For a lot of folks I help, that means Scripture they can actually see again, and a daily reading that shows up on its own so they never lose their place. But the app store is crowded, some apps beg for money, and the settings can hide the very features you want most. This little book sorts it out. No jargon. No judgment. No rushing.
