Storyline One Year Bible is a free app from Storyline Missions. It takes you through the whole Bible in a year, in the order of its story: an Old Testament reading, a New Testament reading, and a Psalm each day, with questions to help you think it through. Read it, or listen to it.

Common questions

How do I start a plan?

The first time you open the app, choose a plan and a start date. Every plan begins at Day 1 on the date you pick. To start another plan later, open the Plans tab, choose a plan, and tap Start this plan today.

I fell behind. What now?

No guilt. On the Today screen, tap Catch up. You can shift your schedule so today becomes your next unread day, or jump ahead to today's reading and come back to the days you missed.

Can I read the Bible in two years instead of one?

Yes. When you start the one-year plan from the Plans tab, choose the two-year pace. You read the same plan, spread over 730 days.

How does listening work?

Tap Listen on the Today screen to hear the day's readings, read by Bob Souer. Each reading checks itself off when you have heard it. The player keeps going on the lock screen, and you can change the speed or set a sleep timer.

The audio won't play.

Audio streams from the internet, so check your connection first. If you see "Audio isn't available yet," try again in a moment. To listen without a connection, go to Settings, Audio, and turn on Download ahead. The app saves the next few days' audio while you are on Wi-Fi.

Where are my journal answers?

Your answers save as you type and stay on your phone. The Journal tab shows all of them, and you can export them from there. Deleting the app deletes your journal, so export it first if you want to keep it.

Can I get a daily reminder?

Yes. Choose a reminder time when you start, and change it any time in the app's Settings, under Reminder. Make sure notifications for Storyline One Year Bible are allowed in your iPhone's Settings app.

Which Bible translation is this?

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB), a modern translation from the original Hebrew and Greek, dedicated to the public domain. The audio is read by Bob Souer. If you prefer another translation, use Open in Bible Gateway from the reader's text menu.

Is it really free?

Yes. No ads, no subscriptions, no paywall, and no account. Storyline is free because people give. If the app helps you, you can support the work at storylinemissions.org/give.

What about my privacy?

The app collects no personal information or usage data. Read the details on our app privacy page.

Have an idea for a new plan?

Tap Suggest a topic at the bottom of the Plans tab, or email us. We would love to hear it.
