AI Bible app for iPhone and iOS
An AI Bible app that keeps you in the text.
Berean reads the Bible aloud, and you can stop it at any verse to ask what it means. The answer comes back in a few seconds, with the passage it rests on, and then the reading picks up where it stopped.

Ask about the verse you are reading
Most AI Bible apps are a chat window. You leave the text, type a question, and read a long answer. Berean works the other way around. You open a chapter, press the mic, and ask out loud. The question is about the verse in front of you, so the answer is too.
Ask who a name is, why a phrase matters, or what a word meant in its own time. Berean answers aloud and points you to the verses it used. When you are done, the narration continues from the same word.
Read, listen, or both
The complete ESV is on your phone, all 66 books, with no account needed to read. Listen & Interact reads each chapter in a calm, natural voice and highlights every word as it is spoken. Change the speed from 0.5x to 2.5x.
Hands-free mode listens for your voice while you walk or drive, so you can ask a question without touching the screen.
Keep what you find
Highlight a verse, write a comment on a passage, or bookmark a chapter. Every note, explanation, and answer about a passage stays in one thread on that passage, so you find it again the next time you read it.
A reading plan takes you through the whole Bible in a year, a few chapters each morning.
