Snap-A-Verse for iPhone · Free

Snap the screen. Read the verse.

The reference flashes on the screen at church — and the slide moves on. Snap it first. Snap-A-Verse takes you straight to that book, chapter, and verse, open in the Bible and ready to read. No hunting through the table of contents. No needing to know where anything is.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.”
Psalm 119:105 · World English Bible

What it does

Built for the moment the Word shows up

The pastor puts the reference on the screen — and a moment later it's gone. Snap-A-Verse catches it and takes you straight to the verse, even if you've never memorized a single book of the Bible.

Snap it before it's gone

The reference is on the screen at church — until it isn't. Snap the slide, a book page, or a handwritten note, and every reference in the frame is caught, even several at once.

Straight to book, chapter, and verse

No memorizing the order of the books. No table-of-contents hunting. The moment you snap, you're taken to the exact verse — open in the full Bible, ready to read.

The whole Bible, offline

All 66 books of the World English Bible live on your iPhone — with your captured verse highlighted in its full chapter. No signal in the sanctuary? Everything still works.

Save it, note it

Keep verses with a tap, then attach your own notes, reflections, and prayer points. Share any verse with a friend in two taps.

A folder for every study

Organize by sermon series, small group, or season of life — with session notes, checklists, and photos inside. Unlimited, and free.

Private by design

Every scan, save, and note stays on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking — your walk with God is between you and God.

Three seconds, start to finish

How it works

  1. Point

    The reference goes up on the screen. Open Snap-A-Verse and aim — projector screen, bulletin, book, or whiteboard — before the slide changes.

  2. Snap

    The reference is read right on your iPhone — nothing uploaded anywhere. You don't need to know what book it's in, or where that book even is.

  3. Read

    You're taken straight to that book, chapter, and verse — open in the Bible, highlighted, ready to read before the preacher finishes the sentence.
