Bible Loop is a free Bible app for teens from YouVersion, and the newest member of the YouVersion Family of Apps.^1 It meets young readers where they are, with a custom daily video devotional, Scripture, honest prayers, and encouragement that fits the day.^3
A Feelings Check-In lets a teen slide to how they are doing, then walks through three Bible verses, a prayer, and an affirmation curated for that moment.^4 Completing a check-in counts toward a streak, and verses can be saved into the memory game.^4 Learning Loops add short, interactive lessons for engaging with Scripture.^5 The daily memorization game tests recall of the Verse of the Day, and a Memory Verse leaderboard lets teens learn alongside others.^5
The Bible tab is for reading or listening, including offline, with highlights, fonts, and shareable verse images.^3 YouVersion help says NIV and NLT are the versions available, with only NIV in the United States, and that other versions depend on each publisher's permission and can be requested.^7 The app is now available in French, Portuguese, and Spanish as well as English.^5 Bible Loop is free, with no ads or in-app purchases on Google Play, and the site lists India, the Philippines, South Africa, the United States, and Australia.^3
YouVersion began in 2007 as a digital ministry of Life.Church, and its Family of Apps, including Bible Loop, has been installed on more than one billion devices.^9 Founder Bobby Gruenewald traces it to a question in an airport line: "Chicago Airport, 2006. Just wondering if I could use technology to help me read the Bible more consistently."^10 Bible Loop carries that same idea to teens, and it has been on Google Play since July 2024.^11
"Bible Loop is a fun and easy to learn app which I use to memorize verses from the Bible. Having 4 levels of memorization, verses can really get ingrained in your head." - Marco Moran, Google Play review^11
