SoapBox in India

Members without a smartphone

Some of your members have a basic phone. No smartphone? No apps? No internet? No problem. SoapBox has a place for them too.

Add them to your People list with a name and a mobile number. They need no app and no account.
To reach them by SMS, export your People list with phone numbers from the web app or Android, and send through your church's own SMS provider.

In your language

The app runs in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Malayalam, Kannada, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia and Urdu, as well as English, and each member chooses their own. ORA, SoapBox's study assistant, answers Bible questions in your language, as a research aid for study. It's not a pastor. Posts and reading-plan days are translated into your language automatically, and one tap shows the original.

Your Bible, free

The Bible reader has Scripture in each of those eleven languages, a full Bible in ten and the New Testament in Odia, free. There's Scripture in more languages of India too, such as Assamese, Chhattisgarhi, Haryanvi and Sumi Naga.

For your church

Your church starts free, for up to a hundred members. Share your invite code on WhatsApp, Facebook, by text message or email, straight from the app. Visitors who check in at the door land in Visitor Follow-up, so you can welcome them back.

Light on data

Turn on Data-Light Mode, and photos inside posts wait until you tap them: always on Android and the web app, and on iPhone whenever you're on mobile data. Chapters you've already read stay on your phone.
