Creating and Setting Up Your Account

Because the Filament Bible App connects directly to your physical Filament Edition Bible, it's important that the app knows exactly which Bible you're using. If the content shown doesn't match the page in front of you, you may be connected to the wrong edition. Here's how to check and fix it.

Reading & Navigation

Each page in a Filament Edition Bible is mapped to specific scripture. When you scan a page number, the app looks up that mapping for your activated edition and returns content in the form of videos, articles, devotionals, and more, tied to exactly what's on that page. This is why activating the correct Bible edition matters: page numbers differ between editions.

Scanning the Filament Icon

Filament keeps your app and physical Bible in sync through four different navigation methods. Use whichever fits best for how you're reading.

Navigating in Four Different Ways
