Bible Progress is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
We believe Scripture should be accessible to all people, and we strive to make our Bible reading tracker usable by as many people as possible, regardless of ability.
