MEET ARA, YOUR AI BIBLE GUIDE
Ask Ara anything: history, theology, archaeology, the original languages, or how faith and science fit together. Clear, grounded answers drawn from the Bible, extra-biblical texts, and real scholarship, tuned to your age.
DAILY LISTEN
Press play to hear Ara read today's chapter aloud, then break it down in plain words. Choose how long you want to listen; it picks up where you left off. Works with CarPlay.
READ IT YOUR WAY
• The original-language Urtext beside trusted English translations
• Compare translations side by side, verse by verse
• Tap any word for its Greek or Hebrew meaning and root
• Guided plans: Chronological and the Bible in a Year
• A fresh daily verse with real context
STUDY TOGETHER WITH MY CIRCLE
Start a private circle with friends, family, or your small group. Read the same passage, get discussion questions from Ara, and talk it through even when you're apart.
GO DEEPER
• Apocrypha and extra-biblical texts: Deuterocanon, Pseudepigrapha, and more
• In-depth Character Studies of any figure in Scripture
• Custom studies, small-group guides, and sermon prep in minutes
• Highlight, bookmark, take notes, keep a prayer journal
No clutter. No noise. Just Scripture, and everything you need to finally understand it.

This app is impressive in its versatility and resources. You can customize personal devotions, dig into apologetics, prep for a sermon, establish Christian disciplines with checklists and much more. I love that it includes the apocryphal books for exploration, reference and comparison. I really like the audio options to have the passages read aloud.
Fixes from what you told us:
• Verse of the Day widget now changes every morning as it should — on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen.
• CarPlay: Ara’s commentary now begins right after the reading instead of leaving a long silence.
• Reading plans wait on the day you haven’t read yet, so a missed day is caught up rather than skipped.
• CSB and NLT: if an edition can’t load, the app now says so and offers Retry — instead of quietly showing King James text under the wrong name.
• Cleaned up stray footnote marks and doubled punctuation that appeared in some chapters.
