Filament Bible

Tyndale House

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

very amazing way to read a Bible. helps you understand it more in depth which is very helpful just in case you don't understand it,it gives a more in depth understanding. there's also videos and maps on certain chapters so you can see where they walked or where they were. one has a family tree which I liked. Another good thing is you can listen to a full chapter,it reads it to you so if you don't have time you can just throw on some headphones and listen. 100/10 recommend!

I really dislike all the "cp. Note on blah in verse x:y" and then you either have to physically flip or digitally flip to those pages in the app. You would think if there are cross reference notes on a subject you could hyperlink in the app to it, or better yet pop open a floating frame of that note. Otherwise it's kind of a gimmicky concept. Prefer the NLT Illustrated Study Bible (which is what these notes are from) but that one is just to bulky to take on flights while I travel for business.

I really love the audio capabilities of this app. I have enjoyed the narrator and being able to read through the Bible in a year in a way that maximizes my time. My only problem with this is that the audio version often repeats sections after playing them, or will skip a section, and for the past 3 days I haven't even been able to get my readings to load.

What’s new

Fixed some visual bugs with audio player interface, added links to Help Center and Feedback site, and made some small performance improvements to video handling.
