What makes a good Bible widget app?

Plenty of apps can show text in a widget. Here’s what we built Bible Widget around, and what to look for in any Bible widget app:

  • It keeps working on its own. Bible Widget prepares two to four weeks of verses, so your widget stays fresh even if you never open the app.
  • It works offline. All 638 verses live on your iPhone. No account, no loading spinners.
  • The verse fits. Every verse has a hand-made short version for the Lock Screen, so you never see a sentence cut off mid-word.
  • Trusted text. KJV, WEB and BSB, every verse checked word for word against the source Bibles.
  • It speaks to your life. Choose topics like anxiety, hope, grief or sleep, and your verse of the day follows them.
  • No ads, no tracking. Nothing competes with Scripture for your attention.

Make your Bible widget beautiful

Your widget uses the same style as the app. Ink and Paper are free. With Premium you get all 40 styles: Classic colors, Modern jewel-tone gradients like Onyx, Sapphire and Emerald, classic paintings of Jesus, nature photos, seasonal photos and Christmas scenes, or your own photo behind the verse.

Premium also gives your widgets a fresh verse every 3 hours and adds Apple Watch complications, so the same verse is on your wrist. For free, you can pin any saved verse to your widgets or let them rotate through your saved verses. See all the styles.
