Description

Fall in love with listening to the most important book in history: the Bible.
Dwell has been called "the Spotify of Scripture" because of how easy (and delightful!) we've made it to explore the Bible. Browse popular passages or curated playlists that include select verses by theme. Use our Listening Plans to help you cultivate a habit of seeking God in Scripture every day. Or take the traditional approach: pick your favorite book and dive in!
Connect with scripture through 4 brand new recordings of the Bible, each showcasing a unique and inspiring voice. And with intimate background music exclusively composed for Scripture listening by Steinway Artist Chad Lawson, you'll be drawn into every story like never before.
Dwell is unique in that you can switch voices and background music on-the-fly without losing your place in the audio. Plus, every book, story, playlist, and plan is accompanied by beautiful artwork.

In version 1.4 we’ve made notable changes to our free offering to ensure Dwell is demonstrably sustainable in the long term. We’ve moved away from both a Free and Premium plan, and have simplified to one plan: Dwell.
Going forward, all users will be able to listen to all four voices, and access all new features of the app, but users without a subscription will have limited access to content. Our goal is to give new users a great ‘taste’ of the Dwell experience while encouraging those who love our approach (and believe in our vision) to help support the project and make it sustainable. We believe this shift will allow the app to reach sustainability more quickly, which means more exciting and formative features for all users.

Beautiful app, currently a little bit ‘heavy’

Amazing work so far with 4 wonderful voices (premium version) which really capture the spirit of God’s word and communicate it well. The app itself is quite ‘bloated’ however in the sense that it takes a while for passages to load and changing voices also seems to take a long time too. If you fixed that it would be 5 ⭐️ from me!!

Love the app !! Felix voice is amazing

Love this app a lot! Only reason it’s not 5 star is I wish there was more verses from the Old Testament... other than that it’s brilliant!!! 👏🏾

Amen

So impressed with this app I love that you get a choice of voices as the sound of the voice is always the deciding factor for me! Love the lay out and it’s great for my walk to and from work only one thing missing a sleep timer

Great addition to Bible Apps

Followed this on kick starter and I’m pleased to have the app now. I’m enjoying it. I really like Mark’s voice but can’t get on with any of the others which is disappointing as it would be good to have a change. I love that you can change the type of background music and also the volume compared to the voice. I also love the playlists which are a group of verses connected by a topic. Would love more long play ones. Health issues make it hard for me to read so was longing for an really good audio app. I hope it gets lots of support and grows.

Fantastic listening experience. Super polished iOS app and the developers deserve all our prayers and gratitude for this. Now the bible is even more accessible to those desiring to hear God’s word.

Such a great blessing.

For a man who’s married and busy with two small kids sometimes bible reading can be difficult. Dwell is a clean, cut, and current innovation that allows me to access the bible as easy as I access my phone.
Yes there’s room for improvement. But that’s expected. The team are consistently updating the app and fixing glitches.
I think the variety of voices are amazing. The music is also such a great back drop that doesn’t take your focus away from the words being spoken.
I recommend this to everyone of my christian friends. This is a an essential app for a closer relationship with The Word.

Beautiful app

I signed up for a year subscription and am so pleased I did. Easy to use, and lots of options for voices and background music. It also has specific playlists covering various topics or Bible books. My only minor issue is I can’t find an easy way to find my chosen plans, only the scriptures last listened to.

Rosie is the best voice for me!

Just sorted initial app issues with a very helpful customer care team! I am enjoying Rosie the narrators voice the most atm but that may change over time! I
Particularly like the illustrations for
Each bible chapter and the bite sized chunks of prayer/ scripture that I can listen to quickly when I’m short on time. Thanks for the app it has been worth the wait!

First impression

Just downloaded this and my first impression is that it is easy to navigate and I’m loving my first listen narrated by Rosie.

Room for improvement

Backed this on Kickstarter as was super keen to have a Bible app I could listen to, but it sounds like individual verses have been recorded separately and the intonation of the voices is therefore very bizarre in places. Also, the voices chosen are actually quite strange. There doesn’t appear to be any voices with people just reading the Bible like a person would. There’s too much drama. A project like this ultimately rises and falls based upon available voices, but currently none of them really cut it. A bit sad really as I’ve subscribed for a year.
