Homey: Faith & Community

MAJOR UPDATES
__
Context is Key
- Watch Scripture open up in a fresh way when you tap the Homey icon while you read to uncover the history and culture behind a passage. Context Keys are now available now for the GOSPELS with more to be added continually, starting with the rest of the New Testament.

Homey Helper is Here!
- Ask any question about faith or the Bible and get Scripture first, backed by classic commentaries, Bible dictionaries, and Context Keys. Every source is one tap away. Open “View Notes” for a full study page you can save. When faithful Christians honestly disagree, Homey marks it "Debated" and shows each side with its verses. Your questions stay private and clear after 30 days.

Accountability Checker, Duh!
- Every week, Homey checks in to see how you’ve applied the word on Sunday to your life. Your answers stay private, your accountability stays consistent.

Fewer Notifications (Thank God)
- We’ve cut down on the frequency of notifications and created a wrap-up that’s sent at the end of the day. Urgent care and safety alerts always come through.

Fresh Look, Who This?
- We’ve implemented a fresh liquid glass look, smoother transitions, and more— all built for iPhone Duo. Homey now uses the full two-screen space, with layouts made for every way you hold it.

Homey Cares
- We’ve added top of the line protections for minors/teens, hotlines, and a Homey Care team that can be reached out to in times of trouble. Here, we don’t just grow and gather; we also care.

Safe and Secure!
- Report or block posts, comments, messages, voice prayers, and live prayer-room chat. Every report ends with a confirmation and reference number, and we review reports within 24 hours.

UPDATED FEATURES FAM
___
- Widget Features: Add it to your home screen and choose what it shows, whether that's the verse of the day, your own application, a global challenge, or a prayer. Tap it to jump right in.
- Live prayer streams: everyone hears the same Apple Music song at the same moment, a notice appears if the host steps away, hosts can rejoin where they left off, viewer counts are more accurate, and your screen stays awake.
