Questions
Good to know.
Is Brightword free?
Yes. A new verse every morning on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, the First Light collection, the whole Bible with search, reminders, and saving and sharing verses are all free. Pro adds the other collections, Lock Screen wallpapers, your topic and saved verses on your Home Screen, and every reading plan at once.
What makes Brightword different?
Three things. The verses follow the church year, so Advent and Easter each have their own. Every verse is chosen by hand to stand on its own. And each morning brings a new picture, with lettering to match.
How do I add it to my Home Screen?
Brightword shows you the first time you open it. On your Home Screen, press and hold a blank spot, tap Edit, then Add Widget, and choose Brightword. You can also press and hold the Brightword icon and pick a size.
How are the verses chosen?
By hand. Every verse in the daily rotation was read and kept only if it brings comfort, hope or wisdom on its own, without the chapter around it. When a verse is too long to show whole, a short form is chosen by hand too.
What is the church year?
The calendar many churches keep: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost, with ordinary weeks between. Brightword follows it, so the verses change with each season, and with Pro the pictures do too.
Can I read the whole chapter?
Yes. Tap the verse to read it in context, in the Berean Standard Bible or the King James Version. Both are in the public domain, and the whole Bible is on your iPhone, so it works offline.
What do I need?
An iPhone with iOS 18 or later. Brightword isn't available for Android.
Do I have to sign in?
No. Brightword works without signing in. If you allow it, the app shares how it is used so we can improve it, and you can change that in Settings at any time.
How do I cancel Pro?
On iPhone: open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, then Brightword. Cancel at least a day before a renewal and you won't be charged for it.
