This is one of the simpler Bible reading apps I’ve come across. Just a few versions available, and a limited set of customization options like font size and a serif/sans-serif font style toggle. But, there is so much to like about this simplicity. Select an amount of time you have available and Redeeming Time offers you a slate of books of the Bible that you could read in that time. Or, start a “Reading Plan” to read something longer by spending a few minutes every day and the app tracks your progress by chapters read. Best of all, the app tracks what you’ve already read from the Bible. If you’re wanting to read from more diverse sections of scripture, this app is just about perfect. I’ve been using it for a few months now and only have one significant complaint: When I read something longer (say one of Paul’s letters or an OT prophet), the app seems to base how far I read on whether I saw any part of a chapter. So if I read through chapter 3 and scrolled chapter 4 just into view at the bottom of my screen, the app will start me at the *bottom* of chapter 4. Then if I try to scroll back up to start reading the start of chapter 4, the previous chapters I already read get loaded and the screen jumps back to the beginning of an earlier chapter. I basically have to remember where I left off in my last reading session or I won’t get to the right spot. I’m not sure how hard this is to fix, but I would love to see this improvement made!Other than this one nitpick, I’ve found the app refreshing and super useful for spending daily time in God’s Word!

I think the technician at the Apple Store installed this app for me, because, after I had my phone reset, this app was on it. I didn’t know what it was, and then I opened it up and realized it was by the same people that make PrayerMate. I started using it, and it has been such a blessing in my life. It is so intuitive, and it even capitalizes on that scrolling motion that I want to do when I am bored. Only instead of scrolling X, now I am scrolling God’s word. I’m sure they will continue to make changes in the future… The ability to highlight and take notes would be good. however, even as it is now, this is a gem of an app.

This app is a super-helpful tool in helping me not to waste time, and instead to be nourished, encouraged, re-directed by the Word. It’s super-easy to use from beginning to end. Not only is it intuitive, it offers “helps” all the way through, prompting you to pray quickly at the beginning for the Word to penetrate and do its work, and then good prompts at the end to help you appropriate what you’ve read into your life and relationships. SO, if you’d like some help redeeming time instead of wasting it, this app is for you!!

I not sure how I found this app but I am very grateful to have found it. I love reading God’s Word as much as I can. With this app I am able to read any place any time. Time IS the key and a lot of times I don’t have the time. This app makes it possible for me to make the time and get in as much time in as possible and a lot of the Word in me. Thanks for the app a very creative and helpful app to have. It’s no longer crunch time…it’s read the Bible leisurely. 😊😌
