Selah Duo, an offline Bible reader for iPhone and iPad, currently shows a price of Free on its App Store listing. The site New Mobile Life reported on November 9, 2026 that the app normally costs US $0.99 and is free for a limited time. Neither the listing nor the report gives an end date, so the price could change at any time.
What do you get in Selah Duo?
The app, published by JOYBOOST LIMITED, includes seven Bible editions for offline reading: English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Korean and Hebrew. You can search by keyword or by Scripture reference, and the app returns you to your last reading position.
A comparison view shows two editions in one screen. On wider layouts the passages sit side by side, while compact layouts keep both translations within easy reach. You can also save bookmarks, highlight passages and attach personal notes to selected sentences, then find them again in a section called Collections.
Other features listed by the developer:
- Whole-Bible or Gospel reading plans, with optional local reminders for chosen times and weekdays
- Adjustable text size and light or dark appearance
- Read-aloud using the voices already installed on your device
- Export of your reading data and restore from a backup file you choose
Is it really free, and is there a catch?
At the time of writing, the App Store listing shows the price as Free. The developer says all app features are included in one purchase, with no ads, subscriptions or account required. According to the listing, then, the free price does not hide a paywall for core features.
The listing does carry a privacy note. The developer indicated that the app’s practices may include data used to track you across other companies’ apps and websites, and data linked to you, such as identifiers. The listing says this information has not been verified by Apple, so read the privacy section before you install.
How do you get it?
- Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and search for Selah Duo: Bible Reader, or use the official listing at apps.apple.com.
- Check that the price button says Get rather than a price.
- Tap Get and confirm with your Apple account as usual.
The app is 72.4 MB. It requires iOS 15.0 or later on iPhone, iPadOS 15.0 or later on iPad, or macOS 12.0 or later on a Mac with an Apple M1 chip or later. The listing describes it as designed for iPad and not verified for macOS. The age rating is 4+.
Who it suits
This is a simple pick for readers who want a quiet, offline Bible with no account. People who compare translations, such as students, study groups or bilingual families, get the most from the two-edition view. If you read in one language only, the main draw is offline use and the reading plans.
Because the offer is described as time limited, there is little reason to wait if you are interested.
What is still unknown?
The sources do not say when the free period ends, which countries the offer covers, or whether every Apple region shows the same price. The listing also notes that the app has too few ratings or reviews to show an overview, so there is no outside feedback on how well it works yet. Translation names, sources and licenses are listed inside the app under Settings, which is the place to check which editions you are actually reading.
