If you don’t do that then you can’t do anything. All you have is the app and I would not download if I was you. **Developer response:** We’re sorry the subscription wasn’t what you expected. The free-trial period, renewal price, and subscription terms are displayed during onboarding before the trial is confirmed, and the subscription can be canceled anytime through your App Store settings. Subscriptions help us maintain and improve the app while supporting the advertising that allows us to share the Gospel with more people. Thank you for giving Bible Lock a try. ### 5/5 — Amazed *2026-08-17* GOD IS ALMIGHTY AND ALMIGHTY IS HE ### 1/5 — Free trial *2026-08-10* I connected my screen time to the app and I seen it ack for a free trial and I went to delete it and it ask for the screen time password that I don’t know and my dad is not at home it’s all ready bad enough I have screen time now I have to get to free trial **Developer response:** Sorry for the confusion! You do not need to start a free trial to delete Bible Lock. Because your dad’s Screen Time passcode restricts app deletion, Apple requires him to approve the deletion—Bible Lock cannot access or bypass that passcode. Once he allows app deletion in Screen Time settings, you can remove Bible Lock normally. ### 2/5 — not good *2026-08-08* not good! app wouldn’t let me remove the app! **Developer response:** Sorry for the frustration! Bible Lock does not prevent the app from being deleted. If app deletion is restricted with an Apple Screen Time passcode, iOS requires that passcode before any app can be removed. The person who set the passcode can allow app deletion in Screen Time settings, and Bible Lock can then be deleted normally. ### 2/5 — All in German? *2026-07-15* I've tried to download this app a couple of times, but each time it has been entirely in German. The concept of this app is great, so if there's any way to fix this, please let me know so I can actually try app and update this review! **Developer response:** Hi! You can switch the app language anytime in Settings inside the app — we’d love for you to try again! ### 1/5 — Free trial *2026-07-09* They offer a 3 day free trial, which isn’t bad but also very short. However, while using the free trial it mentions that you will be notified a day before it ends before they charge you card; but they did not notify me not through text or email. In-fact instead of notifying me they charged me while my free trial was going, before I even fully decided if I wanted to spend $30 every month on an app. I will say the app is good for starting a habit but the price, and the communication, and the settings on the app need improvement and I don’t think the app is truly worth the price and if you want to start a habit just make a routine and plan things for yourself. Furthermore,I was trying to cancel on the app but they don’t even have actual settings for a help/info setting. ### 5/5 — awesome app *2026-07-01* This app is amazing way more features than I thought. I like how it keeps my focus and puts me in the right path and direction of God. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! We’re grateful Bible Lock is helping you stay focused and grow closer to God. Your support means a lot to us! 🙏 ### 1/5 — Passcode *2026-06-05* Bro I downloaded the app it ask me a question what apps do you want to lock I pick them then its asking for a subscription 😭 I thought it was free turns out it is not and I try to delete it talking about I need a screen time passcode please provide me with a code so I can’t delete the app **Developer response:** Bible Lock does not create, store, or have access to your Apple Screen Time passcode. That code is managed privately by iOS on your device. If your iPhone is asking for a Screen Time passcode when deleting apps, that comes from your device’s Screen Time settings, not from Bible Lock. ### 3/5 — Can’t add as widget *2026-06-03* It’s not allowing me to add this as a widget on the iPhone, as the instructions said to do. **Developer response:** Sorry for the confusion. The Bible Lock widget is working for iPhone users, but Apple’s widget list can sometimes take a moment to refresh after a new app is installed. Opening the app once, restarting the iPhone, and then adding the widget again usually fixes it. We’re continuing to make the setup instructions clearer so this is easier for everyone. ### 5/5 — So helpful *2026-04-12* My mind is better off starting the day and evening with God and not the time sinking apps ## Frequently asked questions about Bible Lock ### What is Bible Lock?
