A reading plan distributes chapters and passages across days. Choose a manageable amount, download the plan and open the first day’s assignment. Use Save for later to keep an interesting plan without starting it.
Find a plan
- Tap Plans in the bottom navigation.
- Open Find plans.
- Browse the catalogue or search by name.
- Use filters for duration, contents or reading approach if there are too many choices.
- Tap a plan card to read its description.
Check its length in days and what you will read. Start with an amount you can manage regularly.
Download the plan
- Tap Download on its description page.
- Wait for completion. The plan opens with its calendar and assignments.
Save for later puts the plan in a separate list. It does not replace downloading and starting it.
The video shows choosing a plan and moving from download to assignments.
Open the first assignment

- Tap the arrow to the right of a chapter to open its text.

Return later
Open Plans → My plans and select the plan. See daily reading to mark assignments and continue.
