Bible Study App With Book Introductions, Word Study & Notes

Read a book from its introduction to its last verse, with cross references, commentary, Greek and Hebrew, and your own notes beside it.

PewPad's Study is a reader first: the page in front of you, turned with a swipe, and the tools a careful reader wants a tap away. Your notes, studies, and highlights gather around the passages they belong to, so the next time you open a book, what you learned is there with it.

Start each book at its introduction

Every book opens with an introduction from the Tyndale Open Study Notes: its purpose, author, date, and setting, an overview, and the full introduction with every reference a tap away. Swipe from a book's last chapter into the next book's introduction, or turn introductions off and read straight on.

Each introduction also shows your own history with the book: the studies, church notes, and verse notes you've written in it, and — if you preach — the chapters you've preached and the ones still waiting.

Word study without a seminary library

Open Word Study on any verse and see its Greek or Hebrew words in reading order, each with a few words of English under it. Tap a word for its meaning in that verse, its definition, how the KJV renders it, where it comes from, and every other place it appears.

Translations, cross references, commentary, and notes

Compare translations side by side, follow cross references, read public-domain commentary, and keep notes on any verse. Bibles include KJV, WEB, ASV, and BSB offline, licensed translations such as the Amplified Bible, and more than 500 open Bibles in other languages to download.

  • Book introductions with your history in each book
  • Greek and Hebrew word study on every verse
  • Cross references and commentary
  • Verse notes, synced through your own iCloud
  • Study and devotional templates (Observation · Interpretation · Application; Read · Reflect · Pray)
  • Search in your own words, or ask Ask to find passages

Write it down: studies and devotionals

Start a study with Observation, Interpretation, and Application, or a devotional with Read, Reflect, and Pray. Passages you add become chips you can tap to read; highlights keep their notes as you edit. Everything is searchable later from the Library.

Frequently asked

About bible study.

Is the Bible available offline?

Yes. KJV, WEB, ASV, and BSB are built in, and downloaded Bibles in other languages work offline too. Licensed translations save each chapter you open for 30 days.

Can I study in my own language?

Yes. Download a Bible in your language — Yoruba, Swahili, Chinese, Hindi, French, and hundreds more — and read, search, and type references in it.

Where do the book introductions come from?

From the Tyndale Open Study Notes (© 2022 Tyndale House Publishers, CC BY-SA 4.0), credited on each page.

Does PewPad use AI to study for me?

No. Search and Ask help you find passages and what you've written; the reading, thinking, and writing stay yours. AI features run on your device.
