20 of the Best Christian Apps We Recommend

1. YouVersion

YouVersion is probably the most comprehensive Bible app. It includes tons of reading plans and videos on a variety of topics.

You can also customize the app to your needs and also get access to cross-references, footnotes, and even see Jesus' words in red.

So instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media, why not choose to spend that time with God. Waiting in line at the grocery store? Taking public transportation to work? Turn your idle time into productive time by spending it with Him.

2. Logos

Logos is the leading app for Bible study. To access the full version you'll have to pay, but the good news is that the free version boasts over 90 resources to help you deepen your understanding of scripture.

3. Read Scripture

Created by the people at The Bible Project, Read Scripture is a great app for reading the Bible in its entirety. The app is clean and keeps distractions minimal, and as you progress in your reading, you can watch videos that give you an overview of each new book. These videos can be a great addition for anyone who is a new reader or would like a review before starting each book.

4. iDisciple

iDisciple is a wonderful app for messages, devotions, music, videos, and more. iDisciple is great for people who like to scroll through social media like Facebook and interact with the videos or articles that pop up in their feed. With iDisciple, you can:

• Read devotionals
• Watch messages
• Listen to Christian music
• Watch Christian videos
• Follow Bible reading plans
• Search for content from favorite speakers or authors

If you download the app across multiple devices, such as your phone, computer, and tablet, your content will synchronize across your devices.

5. ChristianAudio

If you love Christian audiobooks, then you'll want to download the ChristianAudio app. ChristianAudio is essentially the Audible for Christian content with a comprehensive library and a sleek, beautiful design. They also give away a free audiobook every month, so if you're an audiobook listener, don't miss out on this app.

6. Dwell

Another app for listening to the Bible is Dwell, which focuses on the English Standard Version (ESV). The free version of the app offers one reading voice, but the paid version includes four voice choices. The Word is meant to be read and learned, and with Dwell, you can take it with you wherever you go. If you're a fan of audiobooks and the ESV, Dwell may be a great app for you.

7. Bible Memory

If you're looking for an app that can help you memorize your favorite passages, check out Bible Memory. This app allows you to add verses and whole sections when you're trying to really absorb scripture. The app is easy to navigate, and uses an effective method for memorization by slowly removing words from the verses you're memorizing until you're able to type it all from memory. The free version of the app uses the King James Version, but you can elect to purchase nearly any popular translation, along with translations of individual verses.

8. Bible Lens

Bible Lens is a fun app that allows you to connect your pictures with your favorite Bible verses and share the result. When you snap a photo, Bible Lens will recommend a verse based on the image. You can choose from up to eight suggestions, pick from a wide range of designs, opt to edit the color or size of your picture, and then save and share it. Have fun and see what you and Bible Lens can come up with!

15. Prayer Notebook

Crosspaths is another option for a dating app. You'll start with a short quiz that allows you to describe the traits you're looking for in a partner and outline your faith. The app matches you with those who seem to be a good fit for you based on your description, and you can then chat with any of your matches.

19. Overcast

Are you a fan of podcasts? Overcast offers an extensive library of Christian podcasts to keep you updated on the news in the Christian community and give you the chance to listen to your favorite preachers.
