Windows - Reading Plans

Updated:

Reading plans are a great way to read through Scripture with a guided set of readings each day. The Olive Tree Bible App offers many reading plan options. You can read through the whole Bible in a year, choose a plan that focuses on a specific section of the Bible, or choose a themed reading plan or devotional. This article will show you how to access and start a reading plan, how to set up a reminder and choose a preferred Bible translation, and more.

Accessing Reading Plans

There is a reading plan icon on the top toolbar. Select this icon provides easy access to your reading plans.

Devotional Reading Plans

We also offer devotional reading plans, which allow you to read supported devotionals in our reading plan infrastructure. When you download a devotional that supports this feature, a 'My Devotionals' option will appear at the top of the list of available reading plans, just below your current plans. (You may need to restart the app to refresh the page if the devotional you are looking for isn't available.)
