Rachael Cottle offers the lowdown on the best apps for Christian women.
I think we can all agree that these days, there’s an app for everything. That means that we’ve got to sift through the vast offering to decide what will take up precious megabytes on our devices. I have been trying out some Christian apps that I think should be on every Christian woman’s smart phone.
If you’re looking to re-organise your home screen, here are ten apps that I think should make the cut…
Woman Alive
Of course! The excellent smartphone companion to this platform.
Read every article published in the print magazine including content on life lessons, career advice, notes on feminism, pop culture and inspiring testimonies.
She Reads Truth
The She Reads Truth app is perfect if you are wanting to expand on your daily reading. Alongside the Bible, they offer a wide range of study plans to suit every woman.
Ranging from free - £3.99. Get it here.
First 5
Developed by the women at Proverbs 31 ministries, the First 5 app offers daily devotionals aimed to take the first 5 minutes of your day. There are also additional study plans available for you to go deeper.
Free. Get it here.
Beloved Women
Beloved Women is great if you prefer to listen to or watch videos rather than read. They have a varied catalogue of inspirational clips, including short devotionals and full courses.
You can access some of their content for free or sign up to a subscription for £12.49/month or £108.99/year. These all come with a 7-day free trial. Get it here.

This is my top recommendation for any fellow liturgy lovers. Every Moment Holy offers a daily liturgy quote on top of a selection of liturgy for specific situations.

For women looking for bible studies and community this is the app for you. On top of the daily scripture and catalogue of blogs and study plans, The Daily Grace Co. offers connection to a community of women through their share wall and daily posts.

I hope with whichever of these apps you choose to download that your relationship with God will grow stronger and deeper through spending more time with him.
