- Scripture-centred
- Private and offline-first
- Built for deeper study
- Clear enough for everyday use
Inside the app
Three ways to spend time in the text.
Read with clarity
A distraction-free reader with a calm, editorial layout — the words come first, everything else stays out of the way until you ask for it. Switch on Read Mode and study markers, highlights and word links are hidden too, for a completely undistracted Bible reading experience.
Understand the passage
Bible Atlas maps, historical and geographical context, commentaries, and book and chapter introductions — for whenever a place name or custom needs unpacking.
Study more deeply
Greek and Hebrew tools, interlinear data and Strong's references sit right alongside the text — including curated word studies, currently available for the KJV and WEB translations.
See it for yourself
Real screens, not renders.
Every screenshot on this site is captured directly from the app — nothing staged, and nothing fabricated.
Built for substance
Depth without unnecessary complexity.
Simple Study Bible brings substantial study resources into a reading experience that remains calm, clear and centred on Scripture. Nothing is hidden — but nothing is forced on you either.
- Clarity
- A reading view with one job: let you read.
- Depth
- Original languages, commentary and context, whenever you want it.
- Context
- Maps, history and geography that ground the text in its world.
- Accessibility
- Every tool stays a tap away — never a wall to climb first.
Be Still
A quieter kind of study.
Some passages aren't meant to be studied so much as sat with. Be Still pairs Scripture read aloud — a growing library of recorded narration, with your device's own voice filling in wherever a passage hasn't been recorded yet — with quiet ambient sound made for lingering in one place rather than moving on to the next thing.
Simple Study Bible Pro
Go further, when you want to.
An optional upgrade that adds a further layer of study and devotional tools — and directly funds the Free Bible Mission below.
Our commitment
The Free Bible Mission
Helping place Bibles into people's hands—freely.
After applicable fees and the costs of operating and maintaining the app have been accounted for, 50% of the remaining net proceeds from Pro upgrades will be used to purchase Bibles for free distribution.
The initiative will begin in the United Kingdom. As funds and practical distribution arrangements allow, the hope is to extend it into other countries in the future.

Resources & translations
A mix of public-domain texts, approved online translations, and study resources you add as you need them.
Translations
The World English Bible comes bundled and ready offline. Twelve more are available — most download once and stay available offline, and the NIV and NKJV are available through secure online access rather than as an offline download.
UK users may not be able to download the King James Version, due to Crown copyright restrictions.
* Online version — requires internet access and isn't stored on your device.
View all 13 translations
Commentaries & context
44 free commentaries, from contemporary studies to 19th-century classics, with up to 10 downloaded at a time on the free tier. Pro removes that limit and unlocks all 65, including a 21-volume Church Fathers collection. Book and chapter introductions and Bible Atlas maps add further historical and geographical context.
View more commentaries
Original languages
Greek and Hebrew interlinear data, Strong's references, and pronunciation audio for reading the text closer to its source — plus the Nestle 1904 and SBL Greek New Testaments for direct original-language reading.
Curated word studies
Hand-curated word studies with verse-specific insight, currently supported for the KJV and WEB translations, with more coverage planned.
Full source and licensing details for third-party data are listed on the Attributions page.
Why this app exists
Built for the reading, not the scrolling.
Simple Study Bible is for the ordinary believer working through a passage before bed, the Bible teacher preparing a lesson, and the ministry worker who needs real study tools without a cluttered interface standing in the way. It's built around a simple bet: that a Bible app can be genuinely deep and genuinely calm at the same time.
