Scripture – Bible Tracker is a lightweight Bible reading app designed to help believers stay consistent in Scripture. It emphasizes simplicity and focus: no ads, no social feeds, no clutter—just the Bible. Core features include instant verse lookup, reading progress tracking, offline studio-quality KJV audio, highlights, and bookmarks. While mission-driven and free to download, the app offers a paid annual subscription ($12.99) for “Scripture Pro,” making it a profit‑modeled entity rather than a nonprofit resource.
