Catholic Study Bible App

Scripture and study tools for Catholic readers

Catholic Study Bible App is a reference app for people who want to read Scripture, follow the daily Mass readings, or study passages in more depth. It can suit individual reading as well as preparation for Mass or a study group. Its tools include reading plans, notes, highlights, cross-references and search.

What it includes

The app offers daily Mass readings and lets readers choose from curated plans or make their own. Text settings, night mode and offline access are also listed among its features. These options support reading in different settings, while notes and highlights provide a way to mark passages for later.

The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, covering the Old and New Testaments, is available as an in-app purchase. Its commentary is attributed to Dr. Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch; it is not presented as part of the app at no additional purchase.

Who publishes it

The developer is Truthguard, and the app is listed in Books & Reference. Its Google Play listing shows a 4.77 rating from 6,365 ratings and more than 100,000 installs. Those figures indicate that many people have rated or installed it, but they do not say whether its particular study tools will suit every reader.

For someone seeking Catholic reading resources in one app, the combination of daily readings, planning and study features is the main point to consider. Readers who specifically want the Ignatius commentary should also note that it requires an in-app purchase.
