New Feature: Video Devotionals!

You may know that YouVersion already offers hundreds of versions you can read in many languages, not to mention audio Bibles you can listen to while you're doing other things. Now we're also adding video devotionals for you to watch! The Overflow has graciously partnered with YouVersion to provide Video Plans from popular Christian recording artists like Lecrae, Tenth Avenue North, and The Newsboys, with more still to come! Start sampling them now to find a video devotional that's right for you!

New Video Devotionals

God's Word, Your Heart Language

When 2012 began, you could enjoy the entire YouVersion experience-Bibles, menus, even reading plans-in any of 13 languages. Over the last few months, we've also added Italian, Turkish, Afrikaans, Czech, Romanian, Slovak, and Japanese (to name just a few), bringing that total to more than 20!


And we want to continue making God's Word freely available to everyone, no matter what language they prefer. That means you have more opportunities than ever before to help us change the world! Join us as a YouVersion translation volunteer, and you'll get to help share God's Word with speakers of languages like Finnish, Malay, Portuguese (Portugal), Vietnamese, and Ukrainian. Make a difference-help others connect with the Bible in their own language!

New Reading Plans, Tools

Reading Plans are a proven way you can connect with the Bible every day. Just sign up for one that you like, and each day, the Bible App will serve up bite-sized sections of Scripture. Since we're always adding new Plans, we just debuted two new categories to help you find your next plan. Now you can find our most recent plans under "New," and "Featured" lists popular and relevant plans you might not have discovered yet. Try out these categories to choose your next favorite Reading Plan!

Did You Know?

If you already use the Bible App, then you know how life-changing it can be to have so many versions of God's Word with you everywhere you go. And if you've had a mobile device for more than just a few days, you also know how frustrating it can be when you can't get a signal strong enough to connect. Fortunately, thanks to the generosity of many Bible publishers, several versions of the Bible are available for you to download directly to your device. When you have a reliable signal (Wi-Fi is best):

  1. Go to the Bible Reader.
  2. Tap the short code for the version you're reading.
  3. Tap the download icon for any version(s) you want to download.
  4. Follow the prompts.

That's it! Now you can always read the versions you've downloaded, even when you can't connect to the Internet or to your service provider!

In Your Own Words

  • "My Bible App 'randomly' set itself on a daily scripture months ago. So glad! 1st thing I do every morning is pray/meditate on it. Thx Lord *wink*"
    —Laurie
  • "Thank the Lord for @YouVersion. Keeps scriptures, bookmarks, and audio close. Makes me feel like Batman with his utility belt."
    —Xavier
  • "I love that my iPhone reads me the Bible before I fall asleep at night. #youversion #GoodStuff"
    —Deborah
