  • “Mere”?

    By Bartek Dyszkiewicz
    Have enjoyed using this app for many years but the new name is a terrible choice! One definition of mere suggests “insignificance”. Whoever thought it was a smart idea to change the app name to Mere clearly didn’t think it through.

    3/2026 Edit: Ok, I can finally give this 5 stars again! They did a wonderful job cleaning up the app and it is still the distraction free Bible app we’ve come to love. So glad they held onto the app’s core tenant of simple Bible reading. Great job guys!! Edit: No meaningful updates or even bug fixes since dwell bought it years ago. The iPad app freezes constantly. The iPhone app doesn’t display chapters correctly. I love dwell and have a lifetime membership. I just wish they would have cared for this beautiful app. Definitely the best you will find. I'm so tired of all the other Bible apps and their social functions that bombard you when you open them (looking at you, YouV...ion). You won't be disappointed by this clean, fast, text-focused Bible app. Download it now!
  • the most enjoyable Bible reading experience on iPhone, hands down

  • Best Bible App Out There

    This is by far THE BEST Bible app out there. You may see many negative reviews, however those are from before the update. After a new, major update, I can highly recommend this app to everyone. This is a super clean app—no unnecessary additions. This app will not send you constant notifications that simply distract you from your other goals. The layout of the app is simply beautiful. A few swipes and you can search for anything. Seriously. The search is so powerful. Can’t remember a Bible verse? Type in a few keywords and you’ll have it in no time. As for the translations they have, you get ASV BSB CEB ESV HCSB KJV NASB NET RVR1960 NVI NIV NKJV and WEB—all for free and the option of offline downloads. Please try this app and support the maker of this beautiful app! Grace and Peace be with you!
  • Long needed update for bugs - layout got worse - mere Bible is a bland name.
