I was searching for a new Bible reading plan that I could actually accomplish and not fall away after the first month. My search led me to Bible Study Together. The two-year Bible reading plan is attainable even on the busiest days, and allows me to dig deeper when there is extra time. Also, I have created a group for our family so we can stay on the same track. We have already used the reading plan in our family devotion time, and the questions have opened up wonderful discussions. I would recommend this to any individual or group, regardless of age or where they are in their walk with Jesus. More of God’s Word is everyone’s need, and here we have a well-ordered method for opening up the Word and going deeper in a chronological plan which beautifully weaves the connections between the old and new testaments. There have already been some “aha” moments! Thank you for this resource! It’s such a gift!
Amazing!!!

I love everything about this app! It makes reading through the Bible so much more enriching. The cross-reference parallel study helps bring a deeper understanding of how the Bible connects. The study questions allow you to meditate with an in-depth insight into the Word. The videos and maps bring an additional layer to understanding. And the challenge questions really allow you to reflect and put the Bible concepts into action. The read aloud, follow-along, automatic scroll reading is pleasant touch - thanks for that. The fellowship section is a great way to connect and reflect further with others. The fact that you can create multiple groups is a plus for anyone looking to hold different study sessions. Additionally, I am blown away by how the prayer section allows me to be more intentional about my prayer life. The ability to list and schedule my prayer time is a huge game changer. Did I mention I love EVERYTHING about this app!
Superb resource

I can wholeheartedly say this Bible Study Together (BST) app has been wonderful! A friend and I started with it a year ago, determined to read the Old Testament together. We committed to reading and then meeting by phone weekly (we live half a country away) like a virtual life group.We haven’t missed a week in all that time, and have used many of the chapter questions as points of discussion. We just recently did a review and are amazed at the ground we’ve covered. All this with a simple free app, that has directed our readings, and given us many things to think about with its poignant questions. Although a bit difficult to initially get around in, and to understand how to back up everything, we have found the app to be solid and secure. I don’t think it’s crashed or glitched at all this whole year! Very impressive, especially when you’re simply trying to learn and not be bothered by tech stuff. My only suggestion for this app would be that I could use highlighting in the Scriptures as I study them. I do this in another app, but it’s cumbersome to switch back and forth. I could and will start doing it in my physical Bible, bc it’s important to me - it helps me see what God was pointing out to me more while in that section. It also gets me into (possibly) another version of those verses, which gives better understanding of their intent.I highly recommend this app and encourage you to jump in with BST. God”s word is life-changing, and this app and its many resources will help you discover and learn from it. It will guide your life and fill your soul. God bless you as you strive to learn more about Him, and thank you BST!
Outstanding Full-Bible Study

For years I thought I would eventually get through reading all of the books in the Bible, and like so many others, I have finally submitted to the realization that without a solid plan to follow it is just not reasonable. Praise to the well-studied creators who made this. This Chronological plan simply makes sense. The order of the chapters with other books is so seamless, it helps tremendously to see the Bible as the one big overarching story that it is. Combine that with the fully personalized reading speed, follow-along audio, and the groups option to partake in this journey with others, this is a gem. “Best” ubiquitously gets used so often, but I strongly believe that word is appropriate for this plan and app. Don’t let the free price tag rob of it’s value, try out this extremely valuable resource.
NEW READING PLAN
The Rapid Chronological Cross-Reference Bible Reading Plan reads the whole Bible in order in 6 months, 92 days, or 46 days. Each day combines four days of the original plan into longer readings, put in Bible order and gathered into whole chapters, so you can read or listen one chapter at a time.
DEEPER BIBLE STUDY
• More Dictionaries in Word Study: Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon, the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon, and Liddell-Scott-Jones.
• Commentaries on any verse: tap a verse, star the ones you want, and read twelve classics including Robertson's Word Pictures, Barnes' Notes, Adam Clarke, John Gill, and the Church Fathers.
• Scripture references inside dictionaries and commentaries can be tapped to open that passage.
• Thousands more cross-references, including New Testament quotations of the Old Testament and parallel passages.
AUDIO BIBLE
The audio Bible now reads every day of every reading plan, in every translation that has audio, including days made of partial chapters or several passages.
EASIER TO USE
• Bible look-up windows now have a button to make them full height.
• On phones, verse and chapter windows show short book names such as GEN 1:3.
• Reset the app yourself from App Information if it ever stops working properly.
• The Verse of the Day opens right away in your own translation.
• The Greek or Hebrew word at the top of Word Study is larger.
FIXES
• Updating the app no longer moves you back to an old day or plan, or resets settings.
• Untitled prayers can be cleared, prayers no longer re-sync as duplicates, and every prayer now needs a title.
• Syncing with your group only updates your group's plan.
• Better readability for the audio speed menu in dark mode, and many spelling and grammar fixes in the daily questions.
