    Getting started

    Find your way around

    • Four tabs sit at the bottom: Home, Journals, Notes and Paths. They need Digible 1.17.2 or later, which Google Play is sending out in stages.
    • Until 1.17.2 reaches you, you'll see Home only. Your Bibles, your Paths and your most recent pages and notes (under Recents) are all there, and everything you make is kept.
    • Your profile and settings (You) open from your photo at the top right of Home.

    Open a Bible

    On Home, tap a Bible to open it.

    Move between chapters and books

    1. Tap the book and chapter at the top (for example John 3).
    2. In Choose a book, tap a book, then tap a chapter.

    You can also swipe left or right for the next or previous chapter.

    Add another Bible

    Each Bible has its own name, cover and translation, so you can keep one for study and one for journaling.

    1. On Home, scroll your Bibles to the end and tap Add New Bible.
    2. Type a name, tap Translation to pick a translation, and choose a Cover.
    3. Tap Add Bible.

    What's free and what needs Pro

    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.

    If something you tap opens the subscription screen, you've reached the preview. Anything you've already made stays yours to open and edit.

    Adding things to a page

    Add a verse to a note

    1. In a note, tap Verse at the end of the bar. Insert verse opens.
    2. Tap the verses you want.
    3. Tap Insert.

    Tap a verse in your note to Open in reader or Remove it.

    Add photos

    In a note, tap Photo on the bar and choose a photo.

    Verses and Bibles

    Highlight a verse

    2. Tap Translation. Search by name, or narrow the list by language.
    3. Pick one and tap Add Bible.

    Account and subscription

    Sign in and sync your devices

    Sign in with the same account on each device and everything you make syncs by itself. There's nothing to turn on.

    • On Android you can Sign in with Google or Continue with email.

    Each device lists what it can edit: tablets list handwritten pages and notes, phones list highlights and typed notes. If something is missing on one device, it's on your other one.

    Sign out

    On Home, tap your photo at the top right to open You, then tap Sign out under Account.

    Restore your purchase

    On Home, tap your photo at the top right to open You, then tap Restore purchases under App. Make sure Google Play is signed in to the Google account you paid with.

    Change or cancel your subscription

    1. Open the Google Play subscriptions page on your device.
    2. Tap Digible, then Cancel subscription and follow the steps.

    You keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for. Uninstalling Digible doesn't cancel it. Google's steps.

    Ask for a refund

    Google handles payments made through Google Play, so refunds are requested from Google: on Google Play, open your profile picture, Payments & subscriptions, Budget & order history, then Report a problem on the Digible order. Google's steps.

    Daily reminders

    On Home, tap your photo at the top right to open You, then tap Daily reminder under Reading to set the time. To turn reminders off, use your device's notification settings for Digible.

    App language and dark mode

    2. Under Account, tap Delete account and confirm.

    Your account is deleted 14 days later. If you sign in again before then, it's kept. Guest accounts are deleted straight away. Deleting your account doesn't cancel a subscription, so cancel it first. More on our delete account page.

    Troubleshooting

    Update Digible

    Many fixes arrive in updates. Open Google Play, search for Digible and tap Update if you see it. Google Play sends new versions out in stages, so yours may arrive a few days after someone else's.

    Find your app version

    On Home, tap your photo at the top right to open You, then scroll to the bottom. It reads, for example, Digible v1.17.1.

    Something is missing on another device

    • Check you're signed in to the same account on both devices.
    • Tablets list handwritten pages and notes. Phones list highlights and typed notes. Nothing is deleted: what you made on a tablet is still there on the tablet, and the other way round.
    • Handwriting made on an iPad isn't shown on Android, and Android handwriting isn't shown on iPad.

    Report a bug

    On Home, tap your photo at the top right to open You, then tap Report a bug under App. Say what happened, then tap Send. If you're browsing as a guest, add your email in the message or use our contact page so we can reply.
