Question 1

What is Digible?

Accepted Answer

Digible is a digital Bible journaling app for iPad, iPhone and Android. Imagine if Goodnotes and your Bible combined into one app — that's Digible. It lets you write, draw, highlight and take notes directly on Scripture with Apple Pencil or a stylus, build a loaded Bible with colour-coded highlights and tabs, follow personalised study Paths, and style your Bible with custom typefaces and themes. Your journals sync across every device you use.

Question 2

Which Bible translations does Digible have?

Accepted Answer

Digible includes seven translations across two languages: the World English Bible (WEB), American Standard Version (ASV), Berean Study Bible (BSB), Reina Valera 1909 (Spanish), New Living Translation (NLT), New King James Version (NKJV) and King James Version (KJV). The first four are stored on your device and work offline; the other three stream as you read and cache as you go. There is no per-translation purchase — Digible Pro covers all seven. You can also compare any two side by side.

Question 3

Is Digible free to use?

Accepted Answer

Digible is free to download on the App Store and Google Play, and free to try. The first three chapters you open are yours, in any translation, along with your first journal pages and highlights — enough to see whether writing on Scripture suits you. After that, Digible Pro unlocks everything: all seven translations, unlimited reading and journaling, and study Paths. Pro is a monthly or annual subscription, there is no free trial, and you can cancel any time from your App Store or Google Play account.

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. Digible syncs your journals, highlights, verse notes, study Paths and reading position across every device on your account — iPad, iPhone and Android. Start a journal on your iPad and your highlights are already there on your phone. Everything is backed up to the cloud, so your study is safe even if you lose a device.

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, with everything synced from your tablet. 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. The Android app is a native build with the same journaling canvas, ink tools, photos, stickers, shapes, highlights, study Paths and translations as the iPad app, running on the same account and the same sync. On Android tablets you can journal with a stylus, including the Samsung S Pen.

Question 8

Can I use Digible offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The four bundled translations (WEB, ASV, BSB and Reina Valera 1909) are stored on your device and work with no internet connection at all, including journaling and highlighting. The other three stream from our servers and cache as you read. You'll need a connection to sign in and to sync your journals 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 Style Studio with 11 typefaces and 12 themes so your Bible looks the way you want, side-by-side translation comparison, 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 reading plan with passages and prompts, which you can then journal through directly in the app. Free accounts can keep up to four active Paths; Digible Pro raises this to ten.

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, through the Style Studio. Digible ships 11 typefaces (including Cormorant and Playfair Display), 12 themes, and custom colour palettes covering paper colour, ink colour, heading fonts and line spacing. You can make your Bible feel like a warm cream-paper journaling Bible, a clean modern study Bible, or a dark theme for late-night reading — and each Bible in your library can be styled separately.

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

If you want to journal, annotate and draw on Scripture with Apple Pencil, Digible is the strongest place to start. It is free to download and free to try — your first three chapters and your first journal pages cost nothing, with the full canvas, pen and highlighter tools, verse notes and cross-device sync. Carrying on is a Digible Pro subscription, which covers all seven translations and unlimited journaling. If you want a permanently free reader rather than a journal, YouVersion is the better fit.

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

Four are stored on your device and work with no connection at all: the World English Bible (WEB), the American Standard Version (ASV), the Berean Study Bible (BSB), and Reina Valera 1909 in Spanish. The New Living Translation (NLT), New King James Version (NKJV) and King James Version (KJV) stream from our servers and cache as you read. All seven are covered by Digible Pro — translations are not 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 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.
