12 Must-Have Bible Apps for Every Christian Woman

From an audio Bible to offline Bible apps, we’re sharing free Bible apps. These are some of our favorite must-have Bible apps to help you with your Bible reading, Bible study, your prayer time, and even Christian game apps to try!

How many of these Bible apps for Christian women do you already have? These are our favorite apps for Bible study and spiritual growth.

Once upon a time, in the world of flip phones and roaming fees, my phone made a funny ding sound. Opening it, I found a bizarre notification.

Baffled, I asked my slightly more tech-savvy husband if he knew what it was. “I think maybe it’s a text message. I’ve heard of those. You can type out messages and send them from phone to phone.”

Of course he was right, and I spent the next thirty minutes trying to type a response.

Fast forward several years and my cell phone has now become like an extra appendage. If it leaves my side, basic survival is in question — especially when it comes to travel.

But one day I decided to step outside my comfort zone and leave my phone in the car while I helped with my son’s Vacation Bible School class.

Like an ex-smoker who absentmindedly pats their pockets looking for that long-lost pack of cigarettes, I was mortified at how many times I reached for my absent phone when bored, frustrated, or just mentally overwhelmed.

It was a wakeup call. Once I realized the impact my phone was having on my life, I decided it was time to start using it with more intention.

Instead of getting sucked into minutes of mindless scrolling on Facebook, I sought out more soul-filling apps. This has been such a blessing in my life, and so today I’d like to share a list of some of the best scripture apps I’ve found.

(Some of these may no longer be free Bible apps, and some some may contain in-app purchases.)
