Bible Speed Read is Seth Potter's RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) reader for Scripture, made for readers who lose focus scanning lines on a page. Instead of moving your eyes across the text, it shows one word at a time at a pace you choose, so your eyes stay still and your attention can stay on the words themselves.^1 The app is free, and Apple marks it Data Not Collected.^1
You set the pace with a speed slider, measured in words per minute, and new readers can start with a one-minute calibration that finds a comfortable starting speed.^1 Fresh sessions ease in with a thirty-second warm-up, and the pause at the end of a sentence lingers on the period word, giving you an extra beat before the next sentence arrives.^1 Continue Reading opens the last place you stopped, home-screen streaks count consecutive reading days with one grace day each week, and translations can be downloaded for offline reading under each publisher's terms, through Settings.^1
NIV and ESV are available now, and other translations are paused while licensing is worked through. Verse text comes through the official YouVersion SDK, which the current release uses so verse numbers match the publisher's markup, and the privacy page also names the ESV (Crossway) API.^1
Bible Speed Read is the work of Seth Potter, who is listed on the App Store as the seller and copyright holder.^1 He keeps the app's support and privacy pages on a small public support site, with a short FAQ and a contact email for questions and feedback.^3 That privacy-first shape is part of the design: the app collects no personal information, and your reading speed, font size, and progress stay only on your device.^2 Apple lists the app as Designed for iPad and Not verified for macOS, and the support site names iPhone, iPad, and Mac as supported.^1
