The big day approaches, and people will recommit themselves to read the Bible daily in 2025. Maybe you want to use Logos iOS Bible app to read your Bible every day in 2025, or at least try to read your Bible daily in 2025. We’ll show you how to set up the Logos Bible for iOS on your iPad and iPhone. This will help you read daily. It will also remind you to read every day.
How to Set Up the Logos iOS Bible App to Read the Bible Daily in 2025
Use the Logos Mobile Bible Study app to read your Bible daily in 2025. Open your preferred Bible translation. You can go into the Library (#1 in the screenshot below), found second from the left on the bottom toolbar of the iPhone or iPad app.
You can also open Bibles from the button at the top of the Bible pane in the iOS app (see #2 in the screenshot above). In either case, choose your Bible to open it.
Tap on the menu button, which looks like three vertical dots. Find it in the upper right corner of the app (see #1 in the screenshot above). Choose Start a Reading Plan from the menu that appears. The New Reading Plan screen will appear (see the screenshot below).
I suggest giving your reading plan a unique title in the TITLE box at the top of the New Reading Plan screen. Then, change the SETTINGS based on your preferences. Notice that it automatically loads 365 daily readings to help you read the Bible daily.
Let’s look at the SETTINGS options. You’ll see 4 of them.
- Book – choose your book. We opened our Bible using the steps above, but you could select your Bible or another book using this setting.
- Plan – tap to customize what you will read and how many days you’ll read. Logos comes with a bunch of reconfigured reading plans. Consider scrolling down to use one of the other annual reading plans. See my recommendations below.
- Schedule – pick your schedule. Pick read every day or every weekday pick one of those. Or you could customize by reading only certain days of the week.
- Sharing – choose to read alone or share your reading plan with a group. The apps shows you all the Faithlife.com groups that you’re subscribed to.
Look over your list of reading sessions generated to help you read the Bible daily in Logos. If you’re happy with the results, tap Start in the upper right corner.
After you tap Start, the reading plan will open in a new tab starting with Today. Tap the Read button (#1 in the screenshot below) or on the reference in the list of READING SESSIONS (#2 in the screenshot below).
Tips for Reminding Yourself to Read the Bible Daily
To set a reminder to read your daily Bible reading, go into the iOS app settings. Find them under the More tab at the bottom right corner of the app screen. Go to the bottom of the menu that appears and tap Settings. You’ll see READING REMINDER second from the bottom of the menu (see screenshot below).
Tap the line below READING REMINDER and tap the switch to turn on Remind me. Set the time that you receive the reminder. From now on, your phone will remind you to read your Bible and other reading plans you’ve set up using a calendar of readings.
If you want the reminder in your calendar, you can set it from your desktop computer. Open the desktop Logos program and open your Reading Plan from the Documents button (see the screenshot above). Find the Export to iCal button in the upper left of the Reading Plan document.
You can set the calendar you want to export to, and Logos will create entries for you in the Mac Calendar app. You can also set the time. Click on the check mark next to Reminder and choose how many minutes before the time you want the reminder to show up.
What Happens if You Skip Days in Your Effort to Read the Bible Daily?
We all know that sometimes you mess up and forget a day or a week or a month. You want to adjust the reading plan so that you each new reading plan session on the right dates going forward. Logos has an option for this. Open the menu in the upper right corner (looks like 3 vertical dots).
Tap on Adjust to today, and Logos will change the dates on your reading plan, setting the first unread session for today.

I usually do “the best of both worlds” and create my Bible reading plan in the app, then use a printed/leather Bible to actually read through the Bible in a year. Even though an iPad is useful when sitting in a chair or on the couch, I still prefer a print/leather Bible. I keep about five leather study Bibles that I rotate as my “read the Bible in a year” Bible every five years. That way the study notes are different each year, plus the text is laid out on the page differently each year so that my mind get a “fresh look” at the Bible each year.
I’ve done the same. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
