Find a verse
Tap Read at the bottom and pick a book, a chapter, then a verse (or from the start). Or type in the search box at the top: a verse (“John 3:16”), a word, a person or a place.
Stories
New to the Bible? Tap Stories at the bottom. Swipe through The big story to see the whole Bible in a minute, then follow Start here: fifteen stories from Creation to the new creation. Each story opens with what happens and why it matters, then Read God’s Word shows the passage itself. Explore it in UNROLL takes you into the feed for pictures, notes and prayer.
Proverbs by theme
Proverbs’ sayings don’t run in order of subject. On its Library page, Proverbs by theme gathers them under twelve themes, such as Words, Work and Money. Tap a saying to read it in its chapter.

Posts marked Listen · Read along can be read aloud. Tap play and follow the words.
Mark a chapter read
At the end of each chapter, tap I’ve read (tapped it by mistake? tap undo). Your progress shows in the chapter list and the Library, with a check on every chapter you’ve read.
Making it yours
Text size
Tap the chapter name at the top (or Read at the bottom), then Aa in the corner. Choose from five sizes; the change shows right away and is remembered.
React
Tap Love, Amen or Inspired on a post. Only the totals are shared, with no names.
Save
Tap the bookmark on any post to keep it. Find it again under Saved → Posts. Tap the bookmark again to remove it.
Pray
Tap Pray at the bottom to pray from the chapter you’re reading, with prompts to Praise, Confess, give Thanks and Ask, and a quiet timer if you’d like one.
Memorizing verses
Choose a verse
Tap Remember this verse at the end of a chapter, or Memorize this verse in Explore. Your verses are under Saved → Memory.
Practice once a day
When verses are ready, a number shows on Saved. Each practice gets harder one Next at a time: read it with its reference, fill the gaps (three rounds, more gaps each time; tap a gap to peek, tap the word to hide it again), then say it from memory and tap Reveal to check. After three days of remembering it, a verse moves to Keeping: a quick check-in after a week, then two weeks, a month, and every two months after that. You learn three verses at a time; the rest wait in Up next.
Tapped the wrong answer? Want more?
After each answer, Undo appears for a few seconds. And you can practice any verse whenever you like: tap Practice under it in Saved → Memory, or Practice again when you finish. Extra practice never changes your schedule.

Free forever
No paywall and no outside ads. UNROLL is an ACT1V8 project. After your first chapter, the end of a chapter sometimes shows a way to Give and keep it free for someone who can’t, or one of ACT1V8’s tools for living out your faith. Giving is never required. ACT1V8 is not a registered charity, so gifts are not tax-deductible.
