Newer in the app

Study that lifts off the page.

Crossword, Word Search, Bible Quest, a living tree, and verse-over-verse compare — the same gold-and-leather study desk, now with depth you can feel.

Crossword

Fill a Scripture grid from the bundled word bank. Clues point to verses you can open in the 1611 reader.

Word Search

Hunt Bible words on the grid, then look the verse up without leaving the game.

Bible Quest

Know the Word, prove the truth, walk the story. Badges stay on the phone unless you opt into Together Cloud backup.

Living Scripture Tree

Plant one tree and tend it through the year. Growth stays with your study, not a social feed.

Compare editions

Stack King James 1769, AKJV, Webster 1833, ASV 1901, WEB, NHEB, and Berean Standard under a verse. Search and Together AI still quote 1611.

Prayer wall

Published Together prayers move in a closed window on this site — names never appear, even if the wall holds millions of requests.

What you can do

Scripture first. Jesus at the center.

Profound truth, simply stated. The app teaches from the King James Bible and points to Christ — not to a personality, a trend, or another faith.

Read the 1611 KJV

The complete 1611 King James Bible stays on your phone, including the Apocrypha as printed in 1611. Display spelling is eased for reading; the underlying verse text used for study and citations is not rewritten.

Search and study

Full-text search, cross-references, Easton’s Bible Dictionary, offline maps, bookmarks, highlights, notes, and reading plans — all available without an internet connection.

Together AI

Together AI retrieves from the bundled King James Bible on the phone, then composes the answer over a gated Cloudflare Workers AI connection. Saved chats stay encrypted on the device. Scholar does not back them up.

Listen

Hear Scripture with on-device British male voices (Kokoro or bundled Piper). Local listening is unlimited. Premium and Scholar can use Cloud Listening when Online Mode is on and hours remain.

Tools and extras

The Tools tab holds personal study helpers. Extras include parables, people, prophecies, the Ten Commandments, fruit of the Spirit, spiritual gifts, the armor of God, a timeline, Living Scripture Tree, games, and Bible Quest.

Together, if you choose

Invite-only groups for shared catalog plans, custom reading schedules, and prayer. Free accounts can create up to 3 groups. New accounts confirm by email on this website, then you can sign in here or in the Android app. Published prayer text also appears on this site’s prayer wall with no name. A Together account is not required to read the Bible. Group Chat follows the group owner’s paid plan.

Prayer wall

A quiet window of unseen names.

Published Together prayers move slowly inside this frame. You can scroll it yourself. The full wall can hold a few requests or many millions without stacking them all at once — only the words, never a name.

Loading requests…

Hover or scroll to linger. The next cards load before they enter.

Together

Together is optional and invite-only. Groups can share a catalog plan or a custom reading schedule, encourage one another, and keep prayer before the Lord. Admins can start or stop a plan, and can kick, unkick, ban, or unban a member. After you create an account, the confirmation email opens a page on this site that tells you the account is ready. Then sign in on this website or in the Android app. Published prayer request text also appears on this site’s prayer wall with no name. You can keep reading with no Together account at all. Group Chat follows the current group owner’s paid plan.

Plans

Free: 2 introductory Together AI questions, up to 3 groups, unlimited local listening. Premium ($11.99/month or $89.99/year): 250 questions a month, up to 20 groups, 4 Cloud Listening hours. Scholar ($19.99/month or $149.99/year): 500 questions a month, up to 100 groups, 8 Cloud Listening hours, and Deep study. Cards never enter the app; Stripe Checkout runs on this website. Together Cloud backup (Premium and Scholar) stores settings, progress, badges, tools, and Living Scripture Tree — not Together AI chats.

Privacy

Your Bible, search, Listen, bookmarks, notes, highlights, chats, and personal plans stay on the phone. No ads. No analytics. Online Mode is off by default. When it is off, Together, Cloud Ask, Cloud Listening, and model downloads stay blocked.

Questions

If you are wondering, start here.

What is King James 1611 Assistant?

It is a Christian Android app for reading and studying the 1611 King James Bible. Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, and the teaching stays with Scripture. It is not a wellness app and not a multi-faith tool.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Reading, search, bookmarks, notes, highlights, plans, dictionary, maps, and core study work without a network. Online Mode is off until you turn it on. Together groups need the network and an invite.

Which Bible does it use?

The public-domain 1611 King James Version, 80 books (66 canonical plus the 14 Apocrypha books as in 1611). Display spelling is modernized for readability. The stored verse text used for citations is the 1611 wording. Compare can stack King James 1769, American King James, Webster 1833, ASV 1901, World English Bible, New Heart English Bible, and Berean Standard Bible under a verse. Search and Together AI stay on 1611.

Is this Adrian Rogers or Love Worth Finding?

No. The app is not Adrian Rogers, Love Worth Finding, or Bellevue Baptist Church, and is not endorsed by them. Teaching aims at clear, Christ-centered, Scripture-applied help in an original pastoral voice.

How do I install it?

Google Play is closed testing. Email [email protected] with the Google account on your Android phone. We add you to the tester list and send a Play invite. Then install the listing for package org.kingjames1611assistant. Companion/standard APKs use the same package id and are not the Play Store build. Older com.example.kingjames1611assistant installs are a different app. F-Droid is not a shipping flavor. You can also use the chat on this page.

Does Ask send my questions to the cloud?

Yes, in Play and companion/standard Android builds. Retrieval stays on the phone. The teaching composition goes to our gated Cloudflare Workers AI host when Online Mode is on. Cloudflare sees that prompt in order to compose the answer. We do not keep a lasting Operator training archive of Together AI chats. Saved chats stay encrypted on the device. Scholar does not back those chats up to Together Cloud. Together AI is a Bible-study helper, not a general chatbot, and it is not the voice of God.

Where is the Google Play privacy policy and store information?

The Play privacy policy is this site’s Privacy Policy. Account deletion is at account deletion. Operators filling Play Console should use the Play declarations page (Developer Program Policies and US export / encryption) and the Data safety worksheet.

What is Together?

An optional invite-only group feature for shared plans and prayer. Sign-in is only for Together. Kick means an admin can restore the person with Unkick. Ban means they cannot rejoin until an admin Unbans. Regular reading never requires Together. After you create an account, check email: the confirmation link opens this site’s confirmation page. Then sign in here or in the app. Prayer request text also appears on the public prayer wall without any name.

The Together confirmation email opened a blank page. What do I do?

Use the newest confirmation email. It should open a page on this website that says the account was created successfully. Then return to the Android app, turn Online Mode on if needed, and Sign in. If the link is old, create the account again so a fresh email can be sent. You can also open this website anytime from Settings → Data in the app.

Where is the privacy policy and how do I delete an account?

Read the Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and account deletion pages. The same website is linked in the App under Settings → Data, directly above the version number. Reading the Bible does not create an account. Together (Play and companion/standard) uses email sign-in. Delete that cloud copy in the App under Settings → Data, on the Together account page after you sign in, or email [email protected] if you need a person to confirm.

Where can I get help?

Email [email protected], or use the chat button on this page. Someone from the project, or the site assistant when it is on, can answer questions about the app, install, privacy, and how to study with it.
