How can I help?

Whichever one you already read. BibleRing ships no scripture text — it keeps the record of which chapters you have read, in the canon you choose: Protestant (66 books), Catholic (73), With Apocrypha (76), Orthodox (78) or Ethiopian (80). You can switch canon at any time without losing a chapter.

Yes. Onboarding asks “I’ve read some of this before”, and you can mark whole books or chapters as read. Imported chapters count toward the percentage, the ring and what the plan hands out next. They do not count as reading days, so they never invent a streak or a pace.

Tap a chapter on Home’s Today card, a square in a book’s grid, or the plus in the tab bar. A sheet shows the book with its chapters as cells; tap the ones you read, then Log. The next sheet shows what that reading changed. Nothing is written until you confirm.

Yes. The log sheet has the day at its foot — tap it to pick another date. A logged passage can be moved later from the Journey by opening it and changing the date.

Open the passage from Home or the Journey and choose “Take off the record”. A book can be cleared from its own screen. Corrections are quiet: no confirmation ceremony, nothing celebrated, and any seal that only that tap earned is withdrawn.

Start to finish (Genesis through Revelation), Old and New together (a little of each testament most days), In the order written (roughly when each book was composed), or No plan at all. Set a finishing date, a number of minutes a day, or nothing, and the daily target follows.

Nothing. Today’s reading is fixed when the day starts, and a day you skip simply passes. The plan continues from where you actually are, not from where a calendar says you should be. The app never shows a backlog.

The run counts the days you came back. One quiet day never breaks it, and a full week of reading earns that grace back. The morning after a quiet day it is shown standing rather than at zero. The longest run in your history uses the same rule.

From your last 28 days of actual reading, carried forward over the chapters left in your canon. It moves as your pace moves. It is a projection, not a target.

On purpose. The note leads with something true about today — a book this reading closes, a seal it reaches — and never with a number you could lose.

Three Lock Screen widgets (inline, rectangular and circular), Home Screen widgets in small and medium for Up next and for the ring by division, and two Control Center buttons: one that opens the log sheet on today’s passage and a plain plus that opens it empty.

Widgets read a snapshot the app writes when it runs. Open the app once after installing or updating and they fill in. If they stay empty, remove the widget and add it again.

Half an hour before the time you tend to open the app, learned from your last weeks of reading. You can see the time it has settled on under Reading time on the You tab, and replace it with one of your own. A reminder is never sent on a day you have already read.

Once iOS has been told no, the switch lives in the Settings app under Notifications. The app’s own switch takes you straight there.

No. Every widget, button and reminder opens the log sheet with the passage already selected. You confirm; nothing is written on your behalf.

Decoration, and only decoration: twelve more looks, six photographs, looks of your own in any color, and an app icon for each of them. Every chapter, plan, widget, seal, recap and number is free and stays free. It is one payment, not a subscription.

Share BibleRing once. The first time you send the app to someone — from the tip on Home, Settings › Share the app, Emmaus on the Appearance screen, or Share on a finished book, a recap or the finished Bible — Emmaus and its app icon are yours. Wherever it goes counts, Copy included: nothing checks who you sent it to, and they are promised nothing.

Because it’s a thank-you rather than something for sale. Emmaus is never sold, so sharing the app is the one way to it, for supporters too. It is kept on the device it was opened on: on a new phone, share the app once more and it’s back.

Open Appearance or Settings and tap Restore. The unlock follows your Apple Account. If a restore finds nothing, check the device is signed in to the same account the purchase was made with.

Three optional amounts, offered only to someone who already holds the unlock and never beside it. They change nothing in the app — except that the largest one turns the supporter heart gold.

Refunds are handled by Apple. Open reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, and choose the purchase. If a refund goes through, the app quietly returns to the free look and keeps your chosen look ready for the next time.

On your device, in the app’s own database — and, if you turn on Keep in iCloud, in your own iCloud as well, encrypted, where we can’t see it; with Advanced Data Protection on your Apple Account, not even Apple can read it. There is no account and nothing is sent to us. Without iCloud, deleting the app deletes the record, so back your phone up as you normally would.

Yes. Turn on Keep in iCloud on each of them (in Settings › iCloud, or when you set the app up) and your reading, notes and settings stay the same on both. It is off until you turn it on.

With Keep in iCloud on, it comes back on its own: on the new phone, choose “Bring my reading from iCloud” on the first screen. A standard iPhone backup or migration carries it over too.

Export is being built and will be free. Getting your own reading record out of the app will never sit behind a purchase.

Anonymous usage counts — which screens open, how often a reading is logged — with nothing you wrote or read: no notes, no book names, no display name. One of the two services runs only after you say yes on the consent sheet; the other keeps no identity and can be switched off in Settings. In some countries both wait for your yes, and in others the app sends nothing at all. The details are on the privacy page.

Yes. Ask Siri to log your reading in BibleRing, or what today’s reading is, or how far you are; the same actions are in the Shortcuts app and can go on the Action button. Logging always shows you the passage first and waits for you to confirm, so nothing goes on your record that you haven’t seen. Your books and logged readings can also be found in Spotlight; that index stays on your iPhone and can be switched off in Settings › Privacy.

Settings › Reading data › Delete all reading data removes every reading, note and achievement and your name, photo and plan, and starts the app over. With Keep in iCloud on, it is deleted from iCloud and from your other devices too. It asks first.
