Confirmation emails now include a code as well as a link. Some mail providers switch off links in spam — the code still works when you type it. The code also works when a mail scanner uses the link up before you reach it, and when tapping the link opens your browser instead of the app. Resending the email, signing in and password reset now tell you exactly what happened, instead of reporting success either way — and using one of them no longer cancels a link you already had. Password reset works even for an account that was never confirmed. Creating an account now works in a browser with cookies or site storage blocked. It used to get stuck there. Two-step verification codes no longer appear in the preview line of the email, where they could be read on a locked phone. If you signed up and never got in, ask for a new confirmation email and type the code.

Settings > Where you're signed in now names your phone app as the app, not a browser. Sign out anywhere you're not using. Tick "Skip this step here for 30 days" on the two-step prompt and we'll stop asking there for 30 days. Signing in with Google or Apple now asks for two-step verification. It didn't before.

Churches and ministries outside the US can now apply to host on Eterniseed. No US 501(c)(3) paperwork, no fee; a real person reviews it. Open a book your edition doesn't include and we now name the edition, rather than switching to Genesis without a word. Links between editions open the right book. Notes no longer show a stray " ".

Scripture Only Mode now hides the Ask button, not just the answer. If you have turned AI features off — for yourself or for a child — selecting a verse was still offering to Ask. The server had always refused those requests, so nothing came of it. But the setting promises to hide AI features, and the interface was still showing one. Selecting a verse in Scripture Only Mode now offers Take Note, and nothing else. The Romanian Nitzulescu Bible of 1911 is now published in full — all 1,257 chapters, after a text-quality review — and can be read in the app like any other translation.

For church families: fixed a placeholder that could appear instead of your church’s name on a child’s My Class page. Smoother sign-in: if you sign in before verifying your email, we now send you a fresh verification link with clear guidance — and opening that link signs you straight in. The church application can now be read before signing in; an account is only needed to submit it. Notes now show the Bible version’s name — like BSB — instead of its internal code.

Organizations arrive on Eterniseed. Businesses, ministries, and non-profits can now apply to host their community here: Bible study groups their people run, a public page that tells their story, and a place to gather. New: Drives. Churches and organizations can share their service campaigns — food drives, coat drives, service weeks — right on their public page, where anyone can see how to help now and what the community has already done. Find them in Community: churches and organizations, side by side.

Daily Verse notifications are here: choose a time in Settings and the day's verse arrives from your own Bible. Notifications were rebuilt end to end. They now arrive reliably, in your language, and show as a small banner if you are already in the app. You can report a concern without signing in at eterniseed.com/safety. Child-safety reports go to the front of the line. New: a licenses and attribution page for the Bibles we serve, linked from the Read screen. New privacy control: an analytics toggle under Settings, Privacy.

Listen works again on holiday pages. It could stop responding after the first play; audio now plays, pauses and resumes. The consent screen a parent opens from email is a real form now: what we collect, how we use it, and your rights as the parent. Nothing is sent until you choose Approve or Decline. Holiday verses now quote a named public-domain Bible in every language, word for word. Your church's curriculum opens from "Pick your curriculum" instead of failing. Terms and Privacy were updated on 17 August 2026. You will be asked to accept them once.

Coloring stays inside the lines. One tap used to flood most of the page; now the color fills only the shape you chose. The kids' coloring book grew from 24 pages to 71. Holiday pictures load again, and they load fast. A shared link now opens the page it points to, instead of the home screen.

The Eterniseed logo now takes you home from every page, in every language. "Start reading free" opens the Bible straight away instead of asking you to sign in first. Our privacy wording is now precise: no advertising, no cross-app tracking, and we never sell your information. The app is smaller and loads faster.

Camera, photo and Face ID requests now appear in your language. The plans page now says plainly what you can read without an account, and what a free account opens. In the source archive, each passage shows the chapters it actually covers, and every choice opens something. The age groups in kids lessons now read clearly apart in Russian.

Parents can now allow their church's sermon videos to play on their child's screen. It stays off until you say yes. Your child's age group now comes from the birthday you gave us, and you choose how they appear to other families — by name, a nickname, or not at all. Church lessons show your church's name. Free accounts can open the lessons their church shares with them. In kids' puzzles, the answer is only offered after every clue has been used. More of the app now speaks your language, including the account pages.

Follow your church and join its circles on any account, including a free one. That means the midweek study, the Sunday School class and pastoral care, and the lessons your church shares arrive in your language. Free accounts can now add children, confirmed by email, and enrol them in a church's Sunday School. Your church's lessons now appear under Lessons on a free account, beside the church that shared them. Plus fixes across the church pages: clearer membership controls, better spacing on small phones, and copy that reads correctly in every language we support.

Narration now reads every sentence of a passage. A quirk in how we split text into sentences was quietly dropping some of them, so a reading could skip a line without ever sounding wrong. That is fixed, and the safeguard meant to catch it now actually fires. Nine badges in the kids wing could not be earned at all. They can now. The Selah riddle also gains a Reveal the answer button, for when you truly cannot get it — revealing it does not count toward a badge. Notes you write while offline now stay with your own account. On a tablet a family shares, a note written by one person could appear for the next person to sign in. Your notes are yours. If you signed in with Apple, you can now delete your account from Settings. Confirm with Apple and it is done, with no password and no email to us. The book picker opens the book you actually chose. What a free account includes was described incorrectly in ten languages, and now reads correctly in all of them. And when you send feedback, the confirmation shows your ticket number again. A fresh app icon, redrawn from the original artwork, and the sign-in screen no longer shows a pale box behind the logo.

Parents now have screens for three controls that were already live: what you see of a child’s activity, when we let you know about it, and words you want to hear about. Badges now belong to the child who earned them. The unread alert count on the bottom bar is no longer cut off at the edge of the screen. The welcome tour now waits for your notification choice instead of appearing behind it.

Didn't get your verification email? Signing in now offers to send it again. Today’s verse opens to the right passage when you tap "Open in Read," and verses that span a range show in full. Holiday readings are now quoted from your own language's Bible rather than English. Narration no longer cuts off mid-word between sections. Opening Terms of Service or Privacy Policy while creating an account now has a way back. ALSO IN ETERNISEED • 211 Bible translations across 92 languages, free to read, always. • 17,989 guided lessons in the tradition of your own church — Catholic, Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, Reformed, Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Adventist or Evangelical — drawn from 79 public-domain voices you can read for yourself. • Any chapter read aloud, in natural narration. • A kids’ wing with narrated Bible-story comics, coloring pages, Selah puzzles, memory verses and a kid-safe Ask Teacher — with parents choosing what their children can see. • A prayer hub, a museum of 8,055 works of sacred art, and the whole app in 11 languages.

Start a Household or Family free trial and your children are included — add them and try the whole kids side before you decide. The study guide now answers in the tradition of the lesson you are reading, instead of a general voice. Annual plans begin right away rather than with a trial, so what you are charged is clear up front. Plus clearer plan details and translation fixes.

Parents can now see their own child's name in a circle's member list. Before, the row showed no name at all — on the very screen a parent uses to keep an eye on their own child. The name is shown to you alone; everyone else in the circle sees exactly what they saw before.

Children can now see the lessons their own Sunday School class has set for them, right from the kids home screen. It is read-only — children cannot post, reply, or message anyone — and a parent can turn the card off any time in Family settings. Free trials now run to the end of your seventh day in your own time zone, so you get two full Sundays to decide.

Coloring is fixed — and better. • Coloring pages now load reliably. If sheets appeared blank or showed "Could not load the puzzle," that is resolved. • Pinch to zoom on a coloring page, and drag with two fingers to move around it while you work. • Every coloring sheet now shows its title in your language, across all 11 supported languages, in both the adult and kids collections. • The Bible guide's answers now render with proper formatting, so lists and emphasis read cleanly instead of showing stray symbols. • On free trials, the trial badge no longer covers the bottom navigation bar. • Assorted layout and stability refinements throughout. Thank you for reading with us.

More fixes from our early weeks: • Switching your language now holds even on a shaky connection. • Fixed small text glitches in Selah coloring. • Password reset now works correctly from the app. • Clearer sign-in error messages.

Small fixes from our first week on the App Store. • Announcements now scroll at a steady, readable pace and finish their message on every screen size — on smaller phones the text used to crawl and get cut off before the end. • Smoother listening. When one chapter hands off to the next, the audio is already held in memory, so continuous playback no longer depends on the network at the moment it advances. Thank you for reading with us.
