No published source says which Bible app DK Metcalf uses. We went looking for one and did not find it. He has spoken on the record about his faith, and that part of the question can be answered. The app part cannot. Any page that names his app, including an earlier version of this one, is guessing.
Where we looked
These are the places a claim like this would normally be established. Each link goes to the source we read.
- His own recorded comments on faith, in an April 2019 Sports Spectrum interview by Jon Ackerman. He talks about God and about football as a platform. No app is named.
- His official NFL player page. Statistics, news and video only. Nothing on faith and nothing on an app.
- His encyclopedia biography, which does cover his faith. No app is named there either.
- The Bible App publisher’s own posts naming pro football players who use it, from 2017, 2018 and 2019. Metcalf is in none of them. All three run before his first NFL season, so that silence proves little on its own.
A page can only say what a source says. Nobody has reported his app, so this page will not name one.
What he has actually said
Metcalf spoke to Sports Spectrum in April 2019, before he was drafted. On using football to talk about his faith, he said: “I look at football as a platform to help other people or to spread the word of God.”
On the neck injury that ended his last college season, he said: “It hurt me really bad knowing that I couldn’t play anymore, but I looked at it as God does everything for a reason.”
That is the sourced part of the answer. How he reads scripture, on paper or on a phone, and with which app, he has not said in public.
Why people ask which app a famous Christian uses
This is a common search shape now. Google’s autocomplete finishes the phrase “what bible app does” with the names of actors, models and other public figures as well as athletes. Faith apps have also bought mainstream attention: the prayer app Hallow ran a Super Bowl commercial starring Mark Wahlberg and reached number one on Apple’s App Store on Ash Wednesday, ABC7 Chicago reported in March 2024.
Wanting a recommendation from someone you respect is reasonable. But copying an app because a stranger with a good career uses it is a weaker reason than picking one that fits how you read.
How to pick a Bible app for yourself
Work down this list in order. The first three settle most choices.
- Translation. Decide which one you want first, then check the app carries it.
- Audio. If most of your reading time is driving or walking, an app with weak audio is the wrong app.
- Offline. Test it with the phone in airplane mode, not only on wifi.
- Cost and ads. Some Bible apps are free and carry no ads. Others show ads or keep features behind a subscription.
- Notes and highlights. If you want to keep them for years, check you can get them back out again.
The best known option is the free Bible App from Life.Church, which lists more than 710 million installs and 2,300 languages. It is not the only one, and it is not automatically the right one for you.
