Guidelines: 3.5

The Guidelines app has been updated to ensure compatibility with iOS 9 and later versions.

Designed to support individual Bible study, the app offers a structured week-by-week format that encourages reflection, prayer, and action. It accommodates both brief and intensive reading sessions, allowing users to engage at their own pace. Users can explore sample readings before subscribing to determine the most suitable subscription length for their needs.

This resource provides in-depth biblical insights grounded in contemporary scholarship, authored by a diverse group of leading theologians from around the world. It represents a broad spectrum of Christian tradition, fostering thoughtful engagement. The app also enables users to compile a personal reference library on their iPhone, enhancing ongoing study.

The weekly guidelines are divided into six sections, beginning with contextual introductions and concluding with reflection and prayer points. Users can tailor their reading schedule around personal commitments, choosing to read as much or as little as desired each day. Each contributor recommends additional books for further exploration.

Features include:

• Expandable weekly sub-sections displaying that week’s readings
• Permanent storage of downloaded content within the app for offline access
• Reading in a book-style format that eliminates the need for constant scrolling
• Seamless navigation between readings through swiping
• Browsing options by contributor, date, or biblical book
• Compatibility with personal Bibles or the linked Bible Gateway online resource

By downloading content in advance, users can read without an internet connection, making it ideal for on-the-go use.

The app supports subscriptions of one, four, and twelve months directly through the interface:

• Subscriptions are billed automatically via your iTunes account and renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before renewal date
• The app is free to download, offering a week's worth of initial content alongside access to the previous two weeks
• Subscription options are priced at £1.49 for one month, £3.99 for four months, and £10.49 annually
• Payments are automatically charged through iTunes upon confirmation of purchase
• Users can manage subscriptions and disable auto-renewal in their iTunes account settings
