Question 1

What is Digible?

Accepted Answer

Digible is the #1 Bible journaling app, with more than 50,000 people signing up in its first year. On iPad and Android tablets, write, draw and highlight directly on Scripture with Apple Pencil or a stylus. Build a loaded Bible with your own colour, notes and artwork, follow personalised study Paths and style each Bible your way. On iPhone and Android phones, read, highlight verses and keep typed notes.

Question 2

Which Bible translations does Digible have?

Accepted Answer

57 Bible translations in more than 30 languages. The World English Bible, American Standard Version, Berean Standard Bible and Reina Valera 1909 are built in and work offline. The New Living Translation, New King James Version, King James Version, The Message, the NLT Catholic Edition, the Nueva Traducción Viviente and the Nova Versão Transformadora stream as you read and cache as you go. 46 more translations, from Lutherbibel 1912 and Louis Segond to the Chinese Union Version, Korean Revised Version and Yoruba Bible, download once and then stay on your device. Digible Pro covers every translation; none is sold separately. You can also compare any two side by side on a tablet.

Question 3

Is Digible free to use?

Accepted Answer

Digible is free to download with a limited preview. New readers can try five unique chapters and three journal pages before subscribing to Digible Pro for continued reading and journaling. Phone highlights and study Paths have their own limits. Pro is a monthly or annual subscription. The preview is not a subscription trial. You can manage your subscription through the App Store or Google Play.

Question 4

Does Digible support Apple Pencil?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On iPad, Digible is built from the ground up around Apple Pencil, with pressure sensitivity, pen and highlighter tools, and a lag-free, natural writing experience. Annotate directly on the text, circle key verses, and write insights in the margins. Most third-party iPad styluses work too. On Android tablets, Digible supports stylus input including the S Pen.

Question 5

Does Digible sync my notes across devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, everything you make syncs through your Digible account across iPad, iPhone and Android. Each device shows what it can edit: tablets list handwritten journal pages, notes and folders, while phones focus on reading, verse highlights and typed notes.

Question 6

Which devices can Digible be used on?

Accepted Answer

Digible runs on iPad, iPhone and Android phones and tablets. iPad and Android tablets get the full handwritten journaling canvas with Apple Pencil or stylus support — that's where the drawing experience is richest. On iPhone and Android phones you can read, highlight verses, write typed notes and follow your study Paths. Tablet journal pages and phone notes have different library views. Digible requires iOS 18 or later, or Android 10 or later.

Question 7

Is there a Digible app for Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Digible is available on Google Play for Android phones and tablets. On Android tablets you can write and draw with a stylus, including the Samsung S Pen. On Android phones you can read, highlight verses and keep typed notes. Use the same Digible account across your devices.

Question 8

Can I use Digible offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The four built-in translations (WEB, ASV, BSB and Reina Valera 1909) and any translation you have downloaded work with no internet connection, including journaling and highlighting. Streamed translations such as the NLT, NKJV and KJV cache as you read. You need a connection to sign in and to sync between devices.

Question 9

What is Bible journaling?

Accepted Answer

Bible journaling is the practice of combining Scripture reading with creative expression. It involves writing notes, drawing illustrations, and adding personal reflections directly in or alongside the Bible text. Digible brings this experience to your iPad with digital tools, making it the perfect companion for daily devotionals, Sunday sermon notes, Bible art, creative lettering, and theological study.

Question 10

How is Digible different from other Bible apps?

Accepted Answer

Most Bible apps are built for reading. Digible is built for marking up Scripture. It gives you a full journaling canvas directly on the Bible page (handwriting, drawing, highlighters, photos, stickers, text boxes and shapes) rather than a separate notes tab. It also does things reading apps don't: personalised study Paths that build a multi-day plan around what you want to explore, a cover, paper, typeface and theme for each Bible you own, side-by-side translation comparison on tablets, and sync across iPad, iPhone and Android. It is the closest digital equivalent to a loaded, marked-up physical Bible.

Question 11

What are study Paths in Digible?

Accepted Answer

A Path is a multi-day Bible study plan that Digible generates for you. Tell it what you want to study (a book, a theme, a question you're wrestling with or a season you're in) and Digible builds a structured plan with passages and a reflection for each day, which you can journal through directly in the app. Your first Path is free to make; Digible Pro lets you keep up to ten Paths active at once.

Question 12

Can I add photos and stickers to my Bible journal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On iPad and Android tablets you can place photos, stickers, text boxes and shapes anywhere on the journaling canvas, alongside your handwriting. Shapes support fill and opacity, and snap-to-shape lets you draw a rough circle, box or arrow and hold to snap it to a clean vector — useful for boxing a verse or drawing arrows between cross-references without a ruler.

Question 13

Can I change the fonts and colours of my Bible in Digible?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open Customize on any Bible to choose its cover, name, paper colour, ink colour, typeface and theme, with 11 typefaces (including Cormorant and Playfair Display) and 12 themes. Make it a warm cream-paper journaling Bible, a clean study Bible or a dark Bible for late-night reading. Each Bible in your library can look different, and on iPhone and iPad you can decorate its cover and preview it in 3D.

Question 14

Can I use Apple Pencil to write in my Bible app?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Digible fully supports Apple Pencil for writing, drawing, and annotating directly on Scripture. You can use pen tools, highlighters, and freehand drawing with pressure sensitivity — it feels just like writing in a physical Bible, but with the power of undo, unlimited colours, and cloud backup.

Question 15

What is the best free Bible app for iPad?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you want to do. For a permanently free Bible reader with reading plans, YouVersion is the obvious choice. If you want to journal, annotate and draw on Scripture with Apple Pencil, Digible is free to download and free to try: your first five chapters and three journal pages cost nothing, with the full canvas, pen and highlighter tools. Carrying on is a Digible Pro subscription. We make Digible, so weigh that when you read this.

Question 16

How do I take sermon notes on my iPad?

Accepted Answer

Download Digible, open the sermon passage, and write directly on the Bible page with Apple Pencil during the service. Your notes stay connected to the Scripture they reference, sync to the cloud automatically, and are easy to find later by book and chapter. See our full guide on taking sermon notes on iPad.

Question 17

Is there a Goodnotes alternative for Bible study?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Digible is a purpose-built alternative to using Goodnotes for Bible study. Instead of importing PDF Bibles and managing hundreds of pages, Digible has Bible text built in with proper verse navigation, multiple translations, and Apple Pencil annotation — all designed specifically for Scripture engagement.

Question 18

Can I highlight and annotate the Bible in Digible?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Digible provides full annotation tools including highlighters in multiple colours, pen tools with pressure sensitivity, freehand drawing, and handwritten notes — all directly on the Bible page. You can circle verses, underline phrases, draw illustrations, and write reflections with Apple Pencil.

Question 19

Is Digible available on Android or iPhone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both. Digible is on the App Store for iPad and iPhone, and on Google Play for Android phones and tablets. Tablets get the full handwritten journaling canvas with Apple Pencil or stylus; phones give you reading, verse highlighting, typed notes and study Paths, all synced from the same account.

Question 20

Which Digible translations work offline?

Accepted Answer

The four built-in translations work with no connection at all: the World English Bible (WEB), the American Standard Version (ASV), the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) and Reina Valera 1909 in Spanish. The 46 downloadable translations stay on your device once downloaded. The NLT, NKJV, KJV, The Message and the other streamed translations cache as you read. Digible Pro covers every translation; none is sold separately.

Question 21

What is a loaded Bible?

Accepted Answer

A loaded Bible is a Bible you've filled with your own study — colour-coded highlights, tabs marking each book, notes in the margins, underlined verses, art and lettering. Instead of sitting untouched, it becomes a record of what you've read and what God has shown you, and many people build one to pass down. Digible, the #1 loaded Bible app, lets you build a loaded Bible digitally: highlight in as many colours as you want, write and draw on the page with Apple Pencil or a stylus, add photos and stickers, and organise it all in folders — with unlimited undo, so you can never ruin a page.

Question 22

How do I make a loaded Bible in Digible?

Accepted Answer

Pick a translation and set your colour code first — for example yellow for promises, blue for commands, pink for God's character. Then read a book at a time, highlighting as you go and writing a short reflection in the margin with Apple Pencil or a stylus. Use folders as your digital tabs, one per book, so you can jump straight to anything you've marked. Add photos, stickers and hand-lettering wherever a passage deserves it. Because it's digital you can restyle, undo, or start a colour code over without ruining anything — see our full loaded Bible tutorial for a step-by-step walkthrough.

Question 23

How is digital Bible journaling different from paper Bible journaling?

Accepted Answer

Digital Bible journaling on iPad or an Android tablet gives you the same hands-on creative experience as paper journaling, with several things paper can't do: undo a mistake instantly instead of living with it, use unlimited colours, pens and highlighters without buying supplies, add photos and stickers with no bleed-through or bulk, back your journal up to the cloud so it survives a lost device, restyle the page fonts and colours whenever you want, and switch translations without buying another Bible. Digible keeps the pen-on-paper feel while removing the limits — and the permanence — of physical journaling.
