Still Bible App Review: Finding a Few Quiet Minutes in a Busy Day

When I published a blog post about my five favorite Bible and Scripture apps, I never expected a developer to find it. But that’s exactly what happened.

The team behind Still reached out and offered me a complimentary one-year subscription so I could try the app and share my honest feedback.

I was intrigued. What would Still become for me?

Before I started, I made one decision: I wasn’t going to compare Still to other Bible apps. Every app has its own purpose, and I wanted to experience Still for what it is rather than decide whether it was “better” or “worse” than something else.

So I opened the app with one simple question: What is Still?

What Is Still

Still is a Christian meditation and prayer app that brings Scripture, daily devotionals, guided meditations, sleep stories for adults and children, music, and calming sounds together in one place. Whether you’re looking for a little encouragement during the day, a moment of quiet prayer, or something peaceful to listen to as you settle down at night, Still offers simple ways to slow down, spend time in God’s Word, and end your day with Scripture.

The meditations and sleep stories range from about a minute to around 13 minutes, making them easy to fit into a busy day. There’s also a Bible-in-a-year reading plan, and Scripture can be listened to being read aloud—including when you’re getting ready for sleep. If you need something to calm your heart and mind, Still has something for you.

The music is more atmospheric and ethereal than what I would normally think of as “music.” It works well as background sound while browsing the app or spending a few quiet minutes reflecting.

Still is currently available in English, German, and French, with more languages being added.

But honestly, the list of features isn’t what stood out to me most.

It was how I started using Still.

Still Became Part of My Day

I found myself opening Still in the morning almost like a cup of coffee to awaken my heart.

Sometimes I wanted a few quiet minutes before getting into the rest of my day. Other times, I would find a meditation that connected with something I was feeling, like overwhelm, and it gave me an opportunity to slow down and refocus.

Then I started using Still at night, too.

After getting into bed, I might listen to something calming, revisit something that had caught my attention earlier, or simply listen to Scripture being read as I settled down.

Those little moments started to add up.

Encouragement Wrapped in Scripture

One thing I noticed about Still is that its meditations aren’t designed to be in-depth Bible studies.

And I actually think that’s a good thing.

I would describe them as Christian encouragement wrapped in Scripture.

Sometimes we don’t need another deep study. Sometimes we need a few quiet minutes to be reminded of truth, be encouraged, or simply given space to breathe and reflect.

And every now and then, something I heard would make me go, “Hmm… I need to look at that a little deeper.”

Not because the meditation answered everything, but because it made me curious enough to want to dig deeper into the Scripture myself.

I like that.

Still doesn’t have to do all the work for me. Sometimes it simply gives me a starting point.

A Few Features I Appreciated

Still also has some simple features that make it easy to use. I can save favorites, download content for offline listening, and quickly find things I’ve recently played.

The home screen gives me a Meditation of the Day, along with Keep Listening and Suggested for You, so I don’t always have to figure out what I want to listen to.

There’s also a tracker if you like having a little encouragement to stay consistent.

These aren’t necessarily groundbreaking features. But they make the app convenient, and I found myself appreciating that.

A Couple of Things I Would Improve

I didn’t run into any major problems with Still, but there are a couple of things I think could make the experience better.

First, voice transparency.

Still uses both human narrators and AI voices. I personally don’t have a problem with AI voices, but I know some people do—and I think users should know what they’re listening to. However, I can appreciate that Still is just getting started, and they’re working within a budget as they continue to grow.

I actually suggested to the Still team that being transparent about AI voices would be a good thing.

The other issue is some of the meditation titles.

For example, in the Feelings section, a title might only show something like “If You’re Feeling A…” That could mean angry, anxious, alone, or something else.

Being able to see the complete title at a glance would make choosing the right meditation much easier.

Neither of these is a dealbreaker for me. They’re simply areas where I think a little more clarity would improve the experience.

Still Is Still Growing

Still is a relatively new app, and it’s still being developed.

The team continues to add new meditations and sleep stories, and make improvements. I actually like knowing that what I see today isn’t necessarily where the app will be six months from now.

And that’s worth considering when you’re deciding whether to give it a try.

What About the Price?

Still offers both a free plan and a paid subscription.

The annual subscription is currently $59.99 a year, which works out to about $5 a month.

I’ll admit that $59.99 initially made me pause, especially knowing that many people are watching their budgets and may already have other subscriptions.

But when I look at it as about $5 a month for something I could use throughout the day—from a few minutes of encouragement in the morning to winding down at night—the price feels more reasonable.

Whether it’s worth it for you will really depend on how much you use it.

That’s also why I appreciate having a free option. You can try Still for yourself and see whether it becomes something you actually use before deciding if you want the subscription.

So, Would I Recommend Still?

Yes.

Especially if you’re looking for something that can fit into a busy day without requiring you to set aside a large block of time.

Still didn’t replace anything else I use. Instead, it found its own little place in my day.

Sometimes it was my morning reminder to slow down and awaken my heart.

Sometimes it was a few minutes of encouragement when I felt overwhelmed.

And sometimes, it was simply something peaceful to listen to at the end of the day.

So, is Still for you?

Try it.

See what you reach for. See whether you come back to it. See if those few minutes become part of your day.

Because ultimately, an app can provide the content—but you’re the one who has to press play.

You can find Still in the Apple App Store or the website, which I recommend visiting to get a better idea of what Still is about. I encourage you to try the free plan and see if it becomes something you reach for during your day.

Still provided me with a complimentary one-year subscription so that I could test the app and provide feedback. The opinions and experiences shared in this review are my own.
