Free Bible study app
Tota Scriptura Bible Community
Read the Bible together
A reader built for reading, notes that stay tied to the verse they are about, and conversations with people who are reading the same passage. No ads, no fees.
In the phone app, every translation reads offline.
Tota Scriptura — “Scripture wholly”, every part of the Bible equally inspired. It is the companion to sola Scriptura: one prevents adding to the canon, the other prevents subtracting from it.
66 books The whole canon, Genesis to Revelation, in the reader.
1189 chapters Each one on a page of its own, the next one tap away.
18 languages for the app’s own menus and buttons, from Czech to Ukrainian.

Features
Built for reading, and for reading together.
Every translation reads offline
They are stored on the device rather than fetched a chapter at a time, so reading works on a train, on a plane, or in a building with no signal. The American Standard Version is already there on a fresh install — no account, no sign-up, nothing to download first.
Made for reading
Verse numbers small and out of the way, the text at a size you choose, and the next chapter one tap away at the bottom where your thumb already is.
Everything from the verse
Read it in another translation, write a note, bookmark it, share it, ask to be told about replies, or open it for discussion. One menu rather than six screens.
Notes that keep their verse
Every note carries the verse it belongs to and a link straight back into the chapter, so a thought from six months ago is still attached to the thing it was about. Sorted in Bible order or by date, and private to you.
Topics and study groups
Topics are open to anyone and start from a verse, so a discussion is always about something specific. Study groups are closed, for a group that already meets — somewhere to carry the conversation on until the next time you gather.
Asked before it downloads
Each translation says how large it is before you start, and asks first if you are on mobile data. Nothing is streamed.
How it works
From opening it to talking it over.
Open it
Install it from Google Play or open it in a browser. In the phone app the American Standard Version is already there.
Add translations
Download the ones you want. Each says how large it is, and asks first on mobile data.
Hold a verse
Compare it, write a note, bookmark it or share it, without leaving the chapter.
Talk it over
Start a topic from a verse, or carry the conversation on in a closed study group.
Privacy
What it does not do
No advertising, no record of what you read, nothing sold.
- No advertising. None, and no third-party sponsorship in posts or profiles.
- No reading tracked. There is no record of which scripture you read or when. Deliberately: the number would be interesting and it is not worth having.
- No streaks, no badges. Nothing that turns reading into a score to protect.
- No selling anything about you. Read the privacy policy — it is short.
