Best for a daily study for women you can do alone, at your own pace
Bible Studies for Women is a complete daily study in one app: no book to buy, no group to join and no start date to wait for.
Its twelve plans go well beyond marriage and motherhood. Alongside James, Philippians and the whole of Ruth, there are plans on identity, waiting, grief and lament, rest, boundaries, friendship, everyday work and courage to speak, with one plan on parenting.
Each session moves through six stages: Read, Look closely, The Breakdown (a plain-words explanation with context and translation notes), The Spark (reflection questions, with writing optional), Pray it through and Walk It Out.
You choose about 5, 10 or 20 minutes, three routes through the same study, on the days that suit you. A missed session simply stays next.

How we chose
This search mixes printables, books and apps. We focused on studies you can do on a phone each day, including printed studies that come with an app, and checked each on the App Store, Google Play and its publisher's site on September 29, 2026.
We compared format, time per day, cost, and whether the topics reach beyond marriage and motherhood. Where a publisher does not state the daily time, we say so.
We make Bible Studies for Women and placed it first because it is the only complete study here that needs no book, group or start date, with topics across a woman's whole life. For a free option, First 5 and Love God Greatly are excellent.
