💡 Tips for Success

Set a Consistent Time

Reading at the same time each day helps build a lasting habit. Many readers prefer morning or before bed.

🔔

Enable Reminders

Turn on daily notifications to get a gentle nudge when you haven't read yet.

Use Rest Days

Taking a day off each week prevents burnout. Your streak won't break on designated rest days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I miss a day? +
If you miss a day that isn't a rest day, your streak will reset. However, your overall progress is never lost — you can catch up by reading extra on subsequent days, or your plan will automatically adjust.
Can I change my reading plan mid-year? +
Yes! You can switch to a different reading plan at any time. Your overall reading progress (which chapters you've read) is preserved, so you won't lose any progress.
How do rest days work? +
When you set rest days (like Sundays), no reading is assigned for those days and your streak won't break. You can choose to either extend your plan end date or read slightly more on active days to finish on time.
What Bible translations are included? +
1Y Bible includes three public domain translations: King James Version (KJV), American Standard Version (ASV), and World English Bible (WEB). You can switch between them at any time.
Does the app work offline? +
Yes! All Bible text is stored on your device. You can read anywhere without an internet connection. iCloud sync requires internet but happens automatically when available.
How do I sync between devices? +
Make sure you're signed into the same iCloud account on all devices and that iCloud sync is enabled in the app settings. Your progress will sync automatically.
What's the 90-Day Challenge? +
The 90-Day Challenge is an intensive reading plan that takes you through the entire Bible in just 90 days. It requires reading about 12-15 chapters per day — perfect for readers who want an immersive experience.
Can I highlight verses or take notes? +
Yes! Tap any verse to select it, then choose to highlight it in different colors or add a personal note. All highlights and notes sync across your devices with iCloud.
