Cana is a Bible app for people who want to understand what they're reading — and to do it alongside others.
Read the whole Bible in seven translations, entirely offline. Tap any verse for an explanation written in plain language. Ask questions you'd feel awkward asking out loud. And when your small group meets, let Cana handle the study prep.
READ, AND ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND
Every verse in the Bible comes with an explanation already written — 33,000 of them, available instantly, with no network and no subscription. Tap a verse and choose how you want it explained:
• Explain — what it means, in plain terms
• Simplify — the same thing, shorter
• Historical Context — who wrote it, to whom, and why it mattered then
• Life Application — what to do with it now
Every chapter has a theme and key verse too. It's the study Bible you'd buy, except it's free and it's in your pocket.
ASK ANYTHING
• Some questions are hard to ask in church. Cana answers them with Scripture — not vague encouragement, but a real answer with chapter and verse.
• Ask what the Bible says about anxiety, forgiveness, money, doubt. Ask what a passage meant to its first readers. Ask the thing you've been carrying around for years.
• Answers point back to Scripture, hold the line on essentials, and are honest that Christians disagree in good faith about plenty else.
A VERSE EVERY MORNING
• A verse each day with a short reflection, plus a home screen widget so it's there before you open anything else.
SMALL GROUPS THAT ACTUALLY MEET
• Bible study is better with other people, and harder to organise.
• Cana runs the evening: an icebreaker to get people talking, the passage with historical context and discussion questions, prayer requests, shared notes, and a challenge to carry into the week.
• Pick a passage and Cana prepares the study — real background, questions worth answering, and concrete things to try before you meet again.
• Only the group's leader needs Cana Plus. Everyone they invite joins free and takes part fully.

Cana isn't a substitute for a pastor, a counsellor, or a doctor. It's a way to spend time in Scripture and to keep going when you'd otherwise drift.

Ratings & Reviews
- Group leaders can now let someone back in after removing them. Removed members appear in a new section on the group page, and one tap allows them to rejoin with the invite code.
- Voice notes are now transcribed on your device wherever your iPhone supports it, so dictated prayers and notes stay local.
