Frequently asked questions
Tap a question to expand it.
How do I switch between the KJV and Berean Standard Bible?
Tap the translation button (it shows “KJV”) at the top of the Read screen and choose the version you want.
How do I write notes with an Apple Pencil?
Open or create a note and choose the ink (pencil) mode — if a Pencil is connected it's selected automatically. No Pencil? Just type; handwriting-to-text (Scribble) also works.
How do I attach a note to a verse?
In the Read screen, tap a verse and choose Add Note. Inside a note you can also tap Attach Reference to link it to a verse, a range, a whole chapter or book, or just to a date.
How do I highlight or bookmark a verse?
Tap the verse and choose Highlight (pick a color) or Bookmark. Verses with a note show a small marker in the margin — tap it to reopen the note.
How do I add the Verse of the Day widget?
On your Home or Lock Screen, touch and hold an empty area, tap the “+” (or Edit), search for Lampstand, and add the Verse of the Day widget.
How do I restore a purchase?
Open Settings (the gear at the bottom of the sidebar) and tap Restore Purchases.
Is my data private?
Yes. Lampstand Bible collects nothing — your notes, journals, and prayers stay on your device. See our Privacy Policy.
