Plan with Friends on Android
The Bible is better with Friends.
When friends join you in a Plan, you see one another’s progress as you complete days, and you can talk over each day’s content in a private discussion area. Please note: you must have at least 1 friend in order to start a group plan. If you don't have any friends, that plan will not display any options, and the plan will just start.
