I recently wrote about the best Bible apps anyone can download. Check it out here!

But if you are a new Christian or are new to reading and studying the Bible, there is none better than the YouVersion Bible app.

I've used YouVersion for years. It's still my go-to Bible app, even as I've picked up other apps along the way. Here's why you need to download it today:

It Has Every Bible Version Under the Sun

Alright, that's an exaggeration...

But they have over 3,000 translations in 2,000 languages! All of these are available for FREE.

That means the app definitely has a translation you can understand that will help you grasp the Word of God. If you've felt like it's difficult to understand the Bible, YouVersion is guaranteed to have a translation that fits your needs.

Hundreds of Reading Plans and Devotionals

Back when I was just starting my Bible reading journey, it was difficult to know where to begin. That's where reading plans and devotionals really shine!

Many seasoned believers have gone on the journey you've just embarked on and mapped the road ahead. That is what a devotional or reading plan is. These resources helped me develop daily habits of Bible reading as well as helped me better understand the text.

You can choose a plan based on topic and length. They have hundreds of reading plans and devotionals, so you are sure to find something that meets you right where you are to help you along the path.

Easily Share Your Bible Study

You can link your social media accounts to YouVersion, so you can easily share Scripture with friends and family.

But YouVersion does more than just making it easy to share what you're reading on social media. Life.Church created YouVersion to be a social platform!

That means you and your friends can connect and grow together in the same program you're using to deepen your faith. You can encourage each other to stay faithful and focus on the Word.

Guided Prayer to Help You Build Better Habits

I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't naturally think to pray. Starting the day with prayer or turning to God for guidance throughout the day is something that I'm still developing as a habit.

That's where YouVersion really shines for me!

I can set up regular reminders to pray. They also have guided prayers I can follow, helping me broaden my prayer practices and learn new ways to approach God.

Easy Note Taking

The note-taking feature in YouVersion is probably the best of any Bible app I've ever tried.

YouVersion is the most user-friendly Bible app out there. So it's easy to just tap a verse or passage, then choose an action for that verse, like taking notes.

I can color-code your notes, make them private or public, and keep a record of all the notes I've taken to easily look them up later.

Free Audio Bibles to Study the Bible on the Go

Daily Bible study for beginners can be tough to establish. Busy schedules can make developing study habits a challenge, even for longtime believers.

That's why I love audio Bibles. No matter how hectic my day gets, I can still engage with the Word on my way to work or as I take care of chores.

YouVersion: The Best Bible App for Beginners

There are so many Bible apps, it's hard for new believers to know which will help them take their first steps on their faith journey.

YouVersion is the best bible study app for beginners, hands down. Download it today to start your journey with the Bible and watch your faith grow!
