Four apps carry it. They are not the same, and the differences matter more than the star ratings suggest.
You searched for this because you found out the Book of Enoch exists, that Jude quotes it by name in your Bible, and that it is not in your Bible. Now you want to read it without paying forty dollars for a paperback.
Every app here will tell you it has “the lost books”. Four things are worth checking first.
1. Which Enoch? There are three books called Enoch. 1 Enoch, the Ethiopic one, is the one Jude quotes and the one with the Watchers. 2 Enoch, the Secrets of Enoch, is a different book entirely. Most apps carry 1 Enoch and stop.
2. Does it have the Apocrypha too? The 15 books removed from the 1611 King James, Tobit, Judith, the Maccabees, Sirach, are a separate collection from the ancient writings. Some apps have one, some the other, few have both.
3. Is the scripture in there as well? If the app only carries the lost books, you will be reading Enoch in one app and Genesis in another, and you will stop cross-referencing, which is the whole point.
4. Ads. Ancient scripture interrupted by a banner for a mobile game is its own kind of answer about what the app is for.
The most established app in this category and the one most people find first. It carries the Lost Books, the Forgotten Books of Eden, the Apocrypha, and Enoch, Jasher and Jubilees, with offline audio and reading plans of one year, 180 days or 90 days.
Where it beats everything else: five thousand reviews and a hundred thousand installs is a track record nothing here can match. It works, people keep it, and the reading plans are genuinely good.
What to know: it carries ads and in-app purchases, and it is a lost-books app rather than a Bible, so the KJV is not sitting alongside it.
Does the one thing and does it cleanly. If all you want is to read 1 Enoch start to finish without deciding anything, this is the shortest path.
Where it wins: simplicity, and a rating built on four and a half thousand reviews.
What to know: ads and in-app purchases, and it is only Enoch. When you finish it and want Jasher, you are back in the store.
Aimed at the Apocrypha and the Deuterocanonical books rather than the ancient writings, with audio, notes, highlighting and offline reading.
Where it wins: the only one of the three with no in-app purchases. If your interest is Tobit, Judith, Sirach and the Maccabees rather than the Watchers, this is the closest fit.
What to know: fewer reviews than the others, and the Apocrypha is a different collection from Enoch and Jasher. Know which one you actually want.
This is ours, so weigh it accordingly.
It carries the complete King James, all 15 books of the Apocrypha, and more than 150 ancient and removed writings, 239 books in one place. That includes both 1 Enoch and 2 Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees, the Book of Giants, the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, the Books of Adam and Eve and the Cave of Treasures. It also restores the Sacred Names, so you can read Yahuah where other Bibles print “the LORD” and Yahshua where they print “Jesus”, with one tap.
Where it beats the others: it is the only one here with the scripture and the lost books in the same app, so you can read Jude 14 and 1 Enoch 1:9 without switching. It is the only one with no ads at all. And it is the only one carrying both Enochs.
Where the others beat it, plainly: they have a hundred thousand installs and thousands of reviews each. We have none of that. They are proven; we are new. If a long track record is what you want, take one of the three above and you will not regret it.
If you want the Book of Enoch and nothing else, take Book of Enoch. It is simple and four thousand people vouch for it.
If you want the Apocrypha specifically, Apocrypha: Bible’s Lost Books, and it has no in-app purchases.
If you want the widest lost-books library with a long track record, Lost Books of the Bible, Enoch.
If you want the whole canon in one place, no ads, and the Sacred Names, try ours in your browser first. It costs nothing and needs no install.

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints
And 1 Enoch 1:9, in the book that is not in your Bible:
And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones
One of the books in your Bible quotes, by name, a book that is not in your Bible. That is the thing worth reading for yourself, in whichever app you pick.
