Answers to the things people ask most. If yours is not here, email hello.biblically@gmail.com and we will get back to you.

Accounts

How do I delete my account?

In the app, go to Me → Account and tap Delete account. It removes your account and everything in it — journal, highlights, notes, bookmarks and favourites — permanently, on every device. It cannot be undone.

Why do I have to sign in?

So your journal, highlights and bookmarks follow you between devices and survive reinstalling the app. Sign in with Apple or Google; we never see a password.

I signed in with Apple and hid my email.

That works fine. We only ever see Apple's relay address, and everything in the app behaves the same.

Reading

Which translation is this?

The World English Bible, a modern English translation in the public domain.

Where are the deuterocanonical books?

They appear when your tradition is set to Catholic or Orthodox. Change it under Me → Tradition. Note the translation splits the Greek additions to Esther and Daniel into separate entries, so the list is longer than the usual book count.

Can I read offline?

Chapters you have already opened are stored on your device and stay available offline. Chapters you have not opened yet need a connection the first time.

Daily Focus

What does it do?

You choose apps that distract you, and iOS shields them each day until you have spent time reading a chapter in Biblically. Set it up under Me → Set up Daily Focus.

Why can't the app suggest which apps to block?

Apple's privacy design does not let us see what is installed on your iPhone, or even which apps you picked — the choice happens in a system screen and the app receives only an opaque reference. That is also why nothing about your selection ever reaches us.

Why don't I see Daily Focus?

It relies on Apple's Screen Time framework, which exists only on iPhone and iPad. It is not available on Android or in a web browser.

Sync

My notes are missing on my other device.

Check you are signed in to the same account on both. The app works offline and syncs when it next reaches the network, so give it a moment after signing in.
