This article includes steps to stream or download audio and to remove downloaded audio Bibles and books. Before you can download your audio titles, you will need to download the app and log in.
Stream or Download Audio Books and Bibles
The process for downloading audio books and Bibles in the app is unique. Due to the size of audio files, we understand that you may not want all the audio files stored on your device. As a result, we give you a few options:
- Stream an audio book or Bible from your Library. This option uses minimal space on your device, but does require an Internet connection.
- Download the full book or Bible for offline listening. This option uses the most space on your device.
- Download individual books of the Bible to listen offline. This allows you to keep certain books on your device without using as much space. This is only available for audio Bibles.
We will go over each of these options in more detail below.
1. Streaming:
Select the Library icon on the toolbar.
Select the 'Device' tab and scroll to find the audio book or Bible you want to listen to.
Select the audio book or Bible to open the Audio Player.
If you're connected to the Internet, you should be able to play the audio right away.
2. Download Full Audio for Offline Use:
Select an audio book or Bible in your Library to open the Audio Player like in the steps above. Select the white arrow in the green triangle on the cover image.
Download your full audio book or Bible by selecting Download All.
3. Download Specific Books of the Bible (Audio Bibles Only):
For audio Bibles specifically, select the book’s name, as seen below, to download an individual Bible book. When the book reaches 100%, it is fully downloaded and can be listened to offline.

Removing Audio Books or Bibles
If you would like to clean up your Library, offloading a Bible or book is easy. To remove an audio Bible or book from the 'Device' tab in your Library, follow these steps:
- Select the Library icon.
- Offload an audio Bible or book one of these two ways:
- Right click the title and click 'Offload' or 'Offload All Volumes'.
- Tap and hold on the title and tap 'Offload' or 'Offload All Volumes'.
An offloaded Bible or book will not show in the 'Device' tab in your Library. The offloaded Bible or book will show in the 'Cloud' tab, so you can click on the audio Bible or book there to add it back to the 'Device' tab.
In the case of audio Bibles, you can also remove individual books of an audio Bible from your device, both if you have downloaded specific books and if you have downloaded a full audio Bible. Here are the steps:
- Select an audio Bible in your Library to open the Audio Player.
- Select the white download arrow on the cover image.
- Select Edit.
- Select the book(s) you want to delete.
- Select the Delete icon.
