The Bible app market — a guide

What the market is, who the players are, how they make money, where they operate, what their ads say, what users hate, and what is still open. 106 apps, 5,047 ads, 243 advertisers.

00About this document

This guide covers the Bible app market as of September 2026. It draws from four web-and-ads reports, two company reports, and the Bible-app portions of an end-times-AI market scan, all compiled 2026-09-18. Ad data comes from Foreplay's ad-intelligence API; install counts outside the App Store come from apkcombo and APKPure mirrors because Google Play's pages failed to load. The guide does not yet include in-app walkthroughs — every product-surface claim rests on store listings, marketing pages and reviews, not direct use of the apps. [U] marks facts that are unverified, come from a single weak source, or have conflicting sources.

011. The market in one page

Ten facts shape this market. Each one matters for any decision about entering it or competing in it.

  • YouVersion is the free ceiling and nobody can out-free it. One billion installs as of November 2025, 16 million daily active users, 100 million+ monthly active, 12 million new installs a month, 2,300+ Bible versions in 1,900+ languages, zero ads, zero subscriptions by explicit policy, funded by roughly $60 million raised lifetime from about 40,000 donors (YouVersion [1], growthcasestudies.com [2], Premier Christianity [3]).
  • Only 46 Bible apps earn more than $10,000 a month, out of 9,000+ on the stores. This is a winner-take-most market with a very long dead tail (Appfigures [4]).
  • The biggest commercial operator is an ad farm, not a brand you have heard of. "Bible Offline-KJV Holy Bible" shows 100,000,000+ installs, 4.9 stars, 11,293,037 ratings; its 9-app portfolio totals 130 million+ installs. The legal entities are Gospel for All Inc. (a San Francisco virtual office) and PANDAS OF CARIBBEAN LIMITED (Hong Kong, CR 2875403) (apkcombo [5]).
  • Hallow is the revenue leader among paid apps. Roughly $40 million net in 2025, 263,000 downloads on Ash Wednesday 2026 alone, $105 million raised ($157 million per one aggregator [U]), and a Super Bowl LVIII ad that cost roughly $7 million and produced its biggest spike ever (Appfigures [6], hallow.com [7], EWTN [8]).
  • Bible Chat is the AI-chat leader and the most copyable playbook. $6.3 million net since 2023, $750,000 net in March 2025, #1 earning Bible app on iOS, over 95% of revenue from the US App Store, $14 million Series A led by True Ventures in February 2025 (Appfigures [4], Vestbee [9]).
  • The paid ad market has exactly three heavyweight app advertisers. In a 5,047-ad sweep: Hallow 604 ads, Bible Offline 566, Bible Chat 518. The fourth-largest app advertiser is YouVersion at 143. Everything else with volume is ecommerce.
  • Trial-to-charge surprise is the category-wide trust wound. It is the single most common negative review pattern across Bible Chat, Haven, Abide, Pray.com, Hallow, Glorify and Pencil Bible. One unaffiliated blogger reports receiving roughly 60 emails a month from people who cannot cancel Haven's $7/week (the-haven.co [10]).
  • "No ads, ever" is an unclaimed hook. Only 92 of 5,047 ads mention ad-freedom, and not one Bible app leads with permanent ad-freedom as its main pitch. Ad load is the loudest user complaint in the free tier, reaching gambling ads inside a Bible app.
  • Language reach is the sharpest structural divide. Bible.is covers 2,500+ languages across 701 separate Play apps; YouVersion covers 1,900+. Against that, Dwell, Abide, BibleProject and Blue Letter Bible are English-only by choice.
  • Category demand is rising off-app too. US Bible sales hit 19 million+ units in 2025, up 12% year-over-year, a 21-year high and double 2019 (Lifeway [11]). Spiritual wellness apps are projected to grow from $2.2 billion (2024) to $7.3 billion (2033), 14.6% CAGR (Grand View [12]).

022. The players

Five kinds of operator run this market. They do not compete on the same terms, and they are not all trying to make money. This section groups them by how they work and what entering against them would require.

032.1 American megachurch and broadcast nonprofits

These own the top of the install chart and take no revenue from it. Competing with them on price is impossible because they charge nothing. Life.Church (YouVersion). Legal name Life Covenant Church Inc., EIN 73-1486708, a nonprofit megachurch in Edmond, Oklahoma, founded 1996 by Craig Groeschel. YouVersion was Bobby Gruenewald's idea, built 2007–2008. About 165 staff run a one-billion-install product. Long-time financial backer: Hobby Lobby founder David Green and family. Churches do not file public 990s, so line-item financials are not public [U]. Institutional risk sits with the church, not the app: a 2026 Roys Report investigation into workplace culture and a disability-discrimination lawsuit [U, single source] (Charity Navigator [13], Wikipedia [14], Wikipedia [15], Forbes [16]). Christian Broadcasting Network (Superbook). EIN 54-0678752, Virginia Beach, founded 1960 by Pat Robertson; CEO, Chairman and President is Gordon P. Robertson. Superbook is an in-house division with no separate budget from CBN's $282.36 million FY2025 revenue. Faith Comes By Hearing (Bible.is / Hosanna). 501(c)(3), EIN 85-0223225, Albuquerque, founded 1972 by Jerry and Anet Jackson as a cassette-lending ministry. It ships 701 separate Play apps, one per language — the opposite of YouVersion's one-app strategy. Revenue roughly $9.2 million annually [U, not reconciled across years] (Wikipedia [17]). OneHope Inc (EIN 27-1398241, Pompano Beach, FL) is YouVersion's partner on Bible App for Kids. Its Meta account has run exactly one ad ever, a 2021 Afghanistan crisis appeal. Biblica, Inc. (EIN 84-1194554), founded 1809 as the New York Bible Society, Colorado Springs/Palmer Lake, owns the NIV but does not operate a flagship consumer app. It licenses to Tecarta and distributes through YouVersion.

042.2 Independent ministries and study nonprofits

These serve serious readers and accept donations, not subscriptions. Some have scale; others have trust capital their commercial competitors do not. BibleProject. 501(c)(3), EIN 46-4277592, Portland, founded 2014 by biblical scholar Dr. Tim Mackie and Jon Collins (President and Chief Creative Officer); CEO Steve Atkinson. FY2025 revenue $30.89 million, up from under $900,000 in 2015. Executive pay: Mackie $266,142, Collins $264,738, Atkinson $255,567. MinistryWatch gives it a transparency grade of D: not ECFA-accredited, no posted audited financials (MinistryWatch [18]). Blue Letter Bible. Standalone 501(c)(3) since November 2015, run under Sowing Circle from 1997. Leadership: Jim Milligan (Chairman and CEO) and Frank Rabinovitch (Vice Chairman) [moderate confidence, single source]. ECFA-accredited. Budget around $2 million. It refuses to run fundraising campaigns, asking donors to "pray about how God might lead them to support." Enduring Word Media. US 501(c)(3) built on David Guzik's verse-by-verse commentary. Donations unlock nothing; paid print volumes are a separate line. Proverbs 31 Ministries (First 5). Nondenominational nonprofit founded 1997, led by Lysa TerKeurst, ECFA member since 2004. 24-7 Prayer (Lectio 365). UK prayer movement. Free, donation-supported, explicitly "no upsell modals," and the most disciplined paid-acquisition program of any nonprofit here — two install ads running 496 and 495 days. Kalaam Media Ltd (UK, Companies House 06701472, trading as "The Love Fellowship") runs a 20-language Indian-language Bible portfolio, explicitly ad-free and donor-funded. Bible Hub is the outlier: directed by John Isett, run as a private project sustained by personal support, no EIN or 990 found, reported HQ Pittsburgh [U]. Its Android app was removed from Play April 2026.

052.3 Corporate publishers and legacy software vendors

These have the brand trust to charge, and they carry costs the farms do not. HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc. (Nashville), a for-profit News Corp subsidiary formed in 2012, owns Bible Gateway. Bible Gateway was founded 1993 by Calvin College student Nick Hengeveld, ran under the nonprofit Gospel Communications until 2008, then was bought by Zondervan. HarperCollins also owned Olive Tree from 2014 to 2020. Gospel Technologies LLC bought Olive Tree back on 11 September 2020, led by Steven Cummings. Independent small operator, not VC-backed. Faithlife Corporation (Logos), Bellingham WA, founded 1992 by Bob Pritchett, Kiernon Reiniger and Dale Pritchett, ex-Microsoft. Privately held and closely controlled by Pritchett; it discloses neither funding nor revenue. About 400 employees [U]. Revenue estimates run $25–80 million, none reliable [U]. Tecarta, Inc. (Palo Alto), CEO and co-founder Ming Siu, first iOS app 2009. Publishes under licence for Biblica, Zondervan, Crossway, Thomas Nelson and Tyndale. Guideposts Church Corporation (founded 1945 by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale; CEO John Temple) acquired Abide, then called Carpenter's Code, in October 2021 for undisclosed terms. Abide's original founders Neil Ahlsten and Eric Tse, both ex-Google, built it in San Mateo after leaving Google in 2014.

062.4 VC-backed consumer studios

These are the direct-response operators. They know how to acquire users at scale and convert them to paying subscribers. Hallow, Inc. Chicago, a public benefit corporation. Co-founders Alex Jones (CEO, Notre Dame engineering, Stanford MBA, ex-McKinsey), Erich Kerekes (CTO), and Alessandro DiSanto (Chief Commercial Officer). $105 million raised, including a $50 million Series C in May 2023 led by Goodwater Capital with Highland Capital Partners. One aggregator says $157 million total [U] (Dealroom [19]). Glorify Ltd / Tupoe Ltd. London and Witney, founded 2020 by co-CEOs Ed Beccle (22 at founding, had already founded and sold a company) and Henry Costa (former angel investor), who reportedly retain a majority stake valued above $100 million. $84.6 million raised. The $40 million Series A closed December 2021, led by Andreessen Horowitz, with SoftBank Latin America Fund, K5 Global, BCF Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Range VC and Salesforce Ventures, plus celebrity angels Kris Jenner, Michael Bublé and others (TechCrunch [20], Religion News Service [21]). Pray, Inc. Santa Monica. Founder and CEO Steve Gatena, a former USC football player who started the company in 2016 and launched in 2017. Confirmed $14 million Series A (March 2018) with TPG Growth, 01 Advisors and others. A BuzzFeed figure puts total raised above $34 million; the true cumulative total is unconfirmed [U]. Book Vitals Inc. / BookVitals S.R.L. / SoulStream (Bible Chat). Romanian operating entity at 22-26 Siriului Street, Bucharest; brand umbrella SoulStream lists a Highlands Ranch, CO address and a Delaware footer. Founders Laurențiu-Victor Bălașa (CEO, eighth company, co-founded T-Me Studios, sold to Mocha in 2021) and Marius Iordache (CTO). $14 million Series A on 19 Feb 2025 led by True Ventures; the founder cites "£16 million total raised." 37 employees (Tracxn, Jul 2026). The company began in 2019 as a reading app, found the Bible was "the most engaged book by a huge margin," and pivoted fully by 2022 — before ChatGPT. Longbeard (Magisterium AI), Toronto, founded 2023. Roughly $3 million raised and targeting a $4–5 million Series A at a $25 million valuation [U] (Forbes [22]). Vert Ventures / E12 Holdings LLC (Haven). A Wyoming shell in Sheridan, operated from New York by Alex Leiman, Evan Dray and Will Olson. The same studio runs Astra (tarot/astrology) and Plug AI (a dating assistant) — a fact critics use against it (Substack investigation [23]). Portfolio claim: "8 Apps. 11 Million Users. $25 Million+ in Annual Revenue" [U]. Dwell App, LLC is the bootstrapped exception: founded by twin brothers Jonathan and Joshua Bailey, with $0 venture funding. Its growth capital came from a Kickstarter that raised $125,000+ against a $50,000 goal.

072.5 App-farm shops and solo operators

The structural signature is always the same: one core reader codebase, relaunched under templated package IDs, one per micro-audience or language. Competing against them means competing on cost, because that is what they optimize for. Gospel for All Inc. / PANDAS OF CARIBBEAN LIMITED ("Bíblia Offline") is the largest. Gospel for All is registered at 220 Montgomery St Ste 1090, San Francisco — a virtual office. Pandas of Caribbean is a Hong Kong private company, CR 2875403. The 9-app Play portfolio splits by micro-audience: women, Catholics, alarm/reminder users, large-print/elderly readers, and a Lite tier. 130 million+ installs combined. WOOMBIT PTE. LTD., UEN 202210843N, Singapore, incorporated 30 Mar 2022. Its feature list includes an "AI priest chat," church jigsaws — and an "AI Zodiac and Horoscope" in the same binary. LINKAMEN PTE. LTD., UEN 202210103C, Singapore, self-described 20-person team. It is not a Bible specialist: the same account also runs a browser, a period tracker, an AI note-taker and others. Ozion, Singapore, self-described 12-person team, publishes a single 100M+-install flagship with no visible clone portfolio. SOFTCRAFT (Softcraft Systems And Solutions Pvt Ltd), Chennai, runs roughly 30 ad-monetised language clones. A September 2026 review of its Tamil Bible cited a gambling ad (Rummy Circle) inside the app. Solo operators carry whole language markets: "Talking games" / Mobobi (Swahili and Yoruba); "Your Smart Bible Apps" / Yuri Nesterenko (Minsk, Belarus) [U] for Yoruba, Kikuyu, Kinyarwanda and Spanish; "Nippt" for Tagalog plus 13 minority languages; "Yuku" for Indonesia's largest Alkitab app.

174. Where they operate

Geography determines which competitors matter and which markets have nobody good. This section covers who wins where, language coverage by app, and the gaps.

204.3 Where nobody good exists

Vietnamese and Ukrainian. Every identifiable operator is a ministry at small scale. There is no quality commercial product and no ad competition found. Swahili, Yoruba and other African languages. Carried entirely by solo operators running ad-supported clones with keyword-stuffed listings. The leading Yoruba app is published from Minsk. Brazilian Portuguese. 10M+-install Spanish apps exist, but Portuguese is fragmented across small Almeida shops with no leader. Indonesian. YouVersion has localised creative and there are 15M+ installs across two ministry apps, yet Indonesian ad volume in the sweep is in single digits. Demand is proven, paid competition is not there. Every language outside English, Spanish, Portuguese and German. French, Italian, Indonesian, Arabic, Polish, Hindi, Swedish and Telugu all sit at single digits to low teens in a 5,047-ad sample, against English 3,801.

215. The ads

Understanding what competitors run, for how long, and what they say reveals both what works and what nobody is doing. This section covers who spends, what runs longest, what the hooks say, and the gaps.

225.1 Who spends

The ad data comes from a 5,047-ad sweep across 243 brands. The big three app advertisers together account for 1,688 of those ads.

235.1 Who spends (cont.)

Non-app advertisers in the top 25 include ecommerce brands (Alabaster Co, Purpose Paper, Nowadaysi 8, Love in Faith, Forty-Six Ten), decal and decor shops, and quiz funnels (QuizGriz). These set the creative benchmark even though they sell physical goods.

245.2 What runs longest

Winning creative in this category is evergreen, not seasonal churn. Average ad run across all 5,047 ads is only 9.5 days, dragged down by one-off testers. The brands that matter run for months.

255.3 What the hooks say

The sources captured verbatim hooks from the top advertisers. These are grouped by pattern. Daily-habit hooks (the category default):

  • "💡 One verse a day with Bible Offline – KJV Holy Bible 📖. Simple habit, big difference 💛🙏" (Bible Offline)
  • "5 minutes a day, spend time with God🙏" (Simple Bible Daily Verse)
  • "Give God the first 5 minutes" (First 5's premise)

265.3 What the hooks say (cont.)

Sleep and anxiety (the most durable emotional angle):

  • "Anxiety weighing you down? Drift off with Scripture and let God calm your mind... Sleep to Scripture via the Dwell audio Bible app." (Dwell, 403 days)
  • "Sleep Peacefully with Hallow" / "Struggling to fall asleep? Say goodbye to restless nights!" (Hallow)
  • "Fall asleep listening to peaceful Biblical stories, then wake up with daily devotionals..." (Glorify)

275.3 What the hooks say (cont.)

Lock screen (a small, winnable hook, only 164 ads):

  • "Stay connected to your faith no matter how busy life gets! With Biblechat, you can read a daily verse right from your lock screen." (Bible Chat)
  • "Change your lockscreen. Change your life." (Bible Widgets)

285.3 What the hooks say (cont.)

Negative-space and anti-incumbent (rare and sharp):

  • "Nobody downloads a Bible app expecting much anymore. You get it, you poke around, you find the study section is three verses deep and written for a Sunday school class, and it joins the graveyard on page three." (Scroll The Bible)
  • "Most people already have a Bible app. It has been sitting unopened on page three of their home screen since February. That is not a faith problem, that is a product problem." (Scroll The Bible)
  • "If you've been going to church your whole life and you still can't tell someone what the book of Habakkuk is actually about." (Amen Core)
  • "You thought a Bible app meant boring sermons and confusing verses. Most of us do. But Bible Chat feels more like conversation." (Bible Chat)

295.3 What the hooks say (cont.)

Quiz and personality funnels:

  • "David, Moses, Daniel, or Paul: your answers reveal which man of the Bible matches you" (Bible Chat)
  • "Think you can ace this Bible Quiz? Only true scripture scholars will score 100%!" (QuizGriz)

305.3 What the hooks say (cont.)

Value stacking (works in study tools):

  • "For less than $5/month... 30 Study Bibles (valued at $600), 13+ Commentaries (valued over $2,050), 6 Dictionaries... That's $3,100 worth of study tools." (Bible Gateway, 314 days)
  • "Subscribe to an annual Logos plan → Get a free Bronze Library, $89.99 value" (Logos)

315.3 What the hooks say (cont.)

Trial and free offer:

  • "Try Hallow For Free" (Hallow)
  • "Start your free trial today!" (Bible Gateway)
  • "Bible Commentary | FREE! … Got Bible Questions?" (Enduring Word, runs the hook in English, German and Spanish)

325.4 What nobody is saying

"No ads, ever." Only 92 of 5,047 ads mention ad-freedom, and not one Bible app leads with permanent ad-freedom as its main pitch. Prophecy and end times. "Prophecy" appears in 22 of 5,047 ads, from one independent pastor's page and one printable-Bible brand. "Rapture," "end times" and "Book of Enoch" score zero incidental hits. No ad anywhere combines AI chat with a prophecy angle.

335.5 Funnel differences by leader

Bible Offline sends 100% of ad traffic straight to the store listing. Hallow sends 96% (582 of 604) to its own web landing page first; only 22 go direct to store. Bible Chat splits roughly 35/65 store-direct versus web landing. Its web funnel charges more: $19.99/month after a 2-week intro on web versus $12.99/month in-app. QuizGriz, Deen Buddy and Amen Core use a quiz or listicle funnel page before any app or product ask.

346. What users hate

User complaints reveal the trust costs of each business model and the attack angles available to a newcomer. This section gives the verbatim complaints, grouped by model.

356.1 Billing and trials

This is the category's defining wound. Trial-to-charge surprise is the single most common negative review pattern across the paid tier. Hallow: "I waned [wanted] to try the free app but with no notice to me the day before it expired I was charged the annual fee." And: "in order to be able to access the best and most used features, we have to pay $70 per year, per person. That's $280 per year." Pray.com: "I was charged 69.99 I do not remember ordering this and would like it off my Apple Card." And: "I've been trying to cancel this for two months." Abide: "I had absolutely no idea Abide was a short trial, followed by being cut off from the guide you were in the middle of... unless you pay." And: "felt completely deceived in a moment I was ready for quiet prayer." Glorify: "When I made an account, I find out you have to pay to listen to anything AND to listen to the reflection." Bible Chat: Trial converted to a yearly charge; a 5-free-questions-per-day cap; "$5 a week"; lost chat history. A competitor publishes a "how to cancel your subscription to Bible Chat" page. Haven: An unaffiliated blogger reports roughly 60 emails from users unable to cancel a $7/week charge. #Bible – Verse of the Day: "Hiding the Lords word behind a paywall is the synonymous with the devil."

366.2 Ads

Ad load is the loudest complaint on the free/ad-supported tier. SOFTCRAFT Tamil Bible (September 2026): "The app itself is good, but the advertisements are extremely frustrating and completely unnecessary for an app meant for reading the Word of God... What is even more concerning is seeing advertisements for platforms like Rummy Circle [a real-money gambling app]. Promoting gambling-related services inside a Bible app with millions of readers is highly irresponsible." Bible Gateway: "A scripture is a good way to start the day. A Jack-in-the-box pop up ad I must endure to get to that scripture? I'll turn on a light [and] read my Bible." Full-screen pop-ups with no visible close button; one report of a horror-movie ad reaching a child. Reina Valera cluster: "To many adds for everything." And: "I feel embarrassed opening this app during church. It always displays the most annoy[ing] ads." Bible Widgets: "You have to subscribe and pay otherwise you're bombarded with pop-ups. It's the same tactic with every app to try and force you to pay!" NIV clones: Ads covering "almost half of the Bible"; in one case "ads for women's undergarments."

376.3 Product quality and bugs

YouVersion: Completed reading days reverting to "missed," lost sermon notes after updates, occasional 503 lockouts. Bible.is: "for years Bible has been a 5 star daily lifeline but... the most recent upgrade has been disastrous with frequent crashes and freezes." Blue Letter Bible: "Looks outdated... appearing to be from 2000, with outdated animations and clunky transitions." On Android, some users reportedly took 20 minutes to find the highlighting menu. Bible Hub: "the app has become slow and glitchy in recent months, often taking 5-10 seconds to load a page." No reading plans, no streaks, no audio, weak search. Dwell: "The phrasing is often unnatural and stilted, with constant pauses." Words omitted from narration. A paying user found only eight Old Testament books available. She Reads Truth: "the daily structure, the subscription, and the screen started to feel like pressure instead of peace." No self-paced option, producing "guilt spirals."

386.4 Trust, doctrine and data

AI theological bias. A Bible Society study, "AI, Bible Apps and Theological Bias" (January 2026), found Bible Chat and peers push a US-evangelical outlook (Christian Today [24]). Mis-citation. Bible Chat has been caught citing Romans 12:2 as Philippians 4:8. Data selling. A BuzzFeed News investigation alleged Pray.com collects location and prayer content and supplements it with purchased data-broker attributes, sharing consumption data with Facebook and attribution vendors. Users noticed: "you are agreeing to have your name, phone number, location, device ID... sold to third parties... marked increase in marketing calls since using it." (BuzzFeed [25]) Portfolio adjacency. Haven's operator runs a tarot app and a dating assistant alongside a Christian app. WOOMBIT ships "AI Zodiac and Horoscope" inside its Bible app.

397. What is open

This section covers the whitespace, the unconfirmed data, and the exact queries that still need to run.

407.1 Angles with little or no competition

  • "No ads, ever" as the lead promise. 92 of 5,047 ads mention ad-freedom and not one Bible app leads with it. The objection is proven; the claim is unclaimed.
  • A transparent, compliant trial. Trial-to-charge surprise is the most common negative review. Nobody advertises the absence of it.
  • Prophecy and end times. 22 of 5,047 ads mention prophecy. Rapture, end times and Book of Enoch score zero. No dedicated app runs this angle at volume.
  • Prophecy plus AI. No ad anywhere combines an AI-chat pitch with an end-times or prophecy angle.
  • The whole Bible explained in plain English, as an app. The angle sells (Printable WITH Lisa, Amen Core), but both fulfil on a printable or an explainer page, not a native app.
  • A Protestant challenger to Hallow's paid seasonal-challenge model. Hallow's Lent "Pray40" with celebrity partners is the single most effective acquisition event in the category and has no Protestant equivalent.
  • Underserved languages with proven demand. Indonesian, French (9 Bible Offline ads is the whole visible market), Italian, Polish, Arabic, Hindi, Telugu, Swedish.
  • Vietnamese and Ukrainian. No commercial operator at all.
  • The Gen Z and young-men surge. Gen Z attends church about 1.9 weekends a month, ahead of Boomers, with men now outpacing women (Barna [26]), and no direct-response offer targets it.
  • Lock screen as a primary pitch. 164 ads in 5,047. Bible Widgets built a brand on it and is small enough to displace.
  • Sleep and anxiety at a lower price point. The most durable creative (Dwell 403 days) sits behind a $59.99–$109.99/yr wall.

417.2 Unconfirmed and contradictory

These facts have sources that disagree. Both figures are kept.

427.3 Queries still to run

The Foreplay account uses one shared 10,000-credit monthly pool. It dropped to under 150 during the sweep and resets 2026-10-17. These queries were cut off. Theme queries never run:

  • book of enoch
  • end times
  • prophecy
  • rapture
  • revelation bible
  • christian meditation
  • catholic prayer
  • rosary

437.3 Queries still to run (cont.)

Language queries never run (these are confirmed gaps, not null results):

  • hindi bible
  • tamil bible
  • telugu bible
  • swahili bible / biblia takatifu
  • yoruba bible / bibeli mimo
  • tagalog bible
  • kinh thanh
  • ukrainian bible

447.3 Queries still to run (cont.)

Widget and app queries never pulled:

  • bible verse of the day
  • bible widget
  • godward
  • biblia light
  • trivia biblica

457.3 Queries still to run (cont.)

The language queries decide whether SOFTCRAFT, Kalaam Media, "Talking games," "Your Smart Bible Apps" and "Nippt" buy any paid social. The 5,047-ad sweep was built from English/Spanish/Portuguese/German/generic keywords, so its silence on non-Latin-script markets is an unreliable negative.

467.4 Other work still to do

  • Run the in-app walkthroughs. The emulator driver at apps/tools/droid.sh is built but has not been run. Priorities: paywall placement and trial disclosure on Bible Chat, Haven, Hallow and Abide; real ad frequency on Bíblia Offline, SOFTCRAFT and the Reina Valera clones.
  • Fetch Google Play listings with a real browser. Install counts, ratings, ad networks and IAP prices for the Brazilian Almeida, Spanish Catholic and Indonesian clusters were all blocked by JS-rendered pages.
  • Verify the Bible Offline install discrepancy between apkcombo's 100M+ and the earlier Sensor Tower snippet.
