About this app

This app is designed to work with Filament-enabled print Bibles. It is not a Bible app—it is a unique print + digital Bible experience.

Filament enhances your print Bible with the powerful capabilities of your phone or tablet. You get the comfortable reading experience a print Bible can offer along with instant access to more meaningful content than you’ll find in any one study Bible or devotional Bible. Native digital content like streaming audio, informative videos, and interactive maps are directly connected to your Bible reading experience in a way never before possible!

With your physical Bible open, use the Filament Bible app to simply scan the page you are reading with your device’s camera. Your phone or tablet recognizes the page and instantly connects you to content centered around that passage. You'll get access to in-depth study notes, profiles of key people mentioned on the page, articles about important themes, devotionals, streaming audio, videos, and interactive maps that will help you really get a feel for the world of the Bible.

Filament also includes the opportunity to build your daily Bible reading habit with reading plans, designed to give you a simple list of the pages you need to read to keep on track with your Bible reading goals, whether it is to read through the entire Bible or just to get a sense for what the Bible says about a key topic.

Our prayer is that Filament will be a faithful companion as you engage with God through the Bible!

Ratings and reviews

I love this app. Sometimes I have trouble sounding words out, so the audio part helps. However, it constantly says not available offline or something of that, but I am at home with wifi. I have to turn the wifi on my phone off to listen to it, then I forget to turn it back on and I waste data and battery. If this is fixed, I'll change my review. I'm using a note20 ultra.

App is finicky. I love the idea of it, as I'm dyslexic and have trouble reading so the app reading to me is such an amazing concept. However I wish they fixed the bugs in the app. It often jumps around, after listening for a while it decides to go offline and stops working then I have to close it out and log back in which then loses my spot. Also if I close out the app completely it will continue playing and you can't pause it. I wish these bugs would get fixed.

I really enjoy using this app. It helps me to be more involved in Bible Studies. When listening to the Bible I enjoy the narration, but at times it will stop reading or go back to the beginning without finishing to the end when I'm doing the Bible study 100 days, or start reading in the middle of the night or in a meeting. Crazy!! I went out and bought a King James Version filament but there is no option for audio, bummer!
