Overall sentiment: positive **Pros** - 🚀 Screen time management - 👍 Helps build spiritual discipline - 👍 Keeps user grounded and focused on God - 👍 Simple yet effective app - 👍 Calming and provides 'me time' **Cons** - 🐛 Misspelled words **Commonly reported bugs** - Misspelled words ## Newest reviews (20 of 561) ### 4/5 — PLEASE UPDATE! *2026-08-14, version 2.3.2* Overall I really love the fact that it’s free you can read the Bible and spend time with Jesus.However I rarely get to read Bible chapters anymore because I can just play fun games to unlock them…which isn’t Good because I used to read scripture but now the games just distract me so I ask that you guys update it so that it’s like read I chapter of the Bible to unlock your apps and then the next time their apps lock you guys let them play the Jesus games.another thing is that you guys should add like depending on what you do to spend time with Jesus is the amount of time you get of your apps being unlocked like for example you play or do trivia then you get 15-30 minutes but if you read a Bible chapter then 30-1 hour.But overall I really love this app!✝️🙏🎀 ### 4/5 — Great! *2026-08-12, version 2.3.2* The only thing I have to say is that when it says swipe up to see more options for unlocking apps, it doesn’t work on iPad. Works just fine for phones,so maybe it’s a bug, but I love how interactive it is and how you can vote for what updates they do and in most cases see results. Keeps me from idolizing apps as opposed to God. ### 3/5 — Too many updates!! *2026-08-11, version 2.3.2* I liked this app, but suddenly it is making me update it allll the time!! I have lost count of how many times I have had to update just to read the verse in only one week. It is getting really annoying. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-06, version 2.3.0* Helps me to spend time with God in a great way ### 5/5 — amazing *2026-08-06, version 2.3.0* free, best way to start off your morning locks your apps so you can put God first and has amazing features inside the app ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-06, version 2.3.0* Honestly the best app that is free to lock apps without paying ### 5/5 — WORTH IT!!! *2026-08-05, version 2.3.0* Has truly helped connect to the Holy Spirit 🙌🏽 ### 5/5 — My story *2026-08-03, version 2.3.0* This app helped me stop being a lukewarm Christian ### 5/5 — Bible *2026-08-02, version 2.3.0* This is one of the best apps that I have gotten to increase my faith! I highly recommend it! 💗 ### 5/5 — 5 stars !!! *2026-08-02, version 2.3.0* this app helped me realize that even if i can’t go to church to praise the lord i can do it here and that’s a blessing seeing the fact i can be in touch with my god ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-02, version 2.3.0* This is so helpful with blocking apps and great features like ai chats, quizzing, and other games ### 5/5 — Best screen time blocking app *2026-07-30, version 2.3.0* I downloaded this because I recognized my phone as an idol but this app has helped so much- and it’s FREE ### 5/5 — bible app *2026-07-30, version 2.3.0* AMAZING!! so so so good took down my screen time by 6 hours!!!! ### 5/5 — Be focus *2026-07-29, version 2.3.0* I love this app it to keep you focus on what you need and it train your mind to keep you God focus and the center ### 5/5 — Dig jk *2026-07-29, version 2.3.0* Off ### 5/5 — So in love with this app! *2026-07-28, version 2.3.0* This app helps me slow down and worship through the day. ### 5/5 — The best app! *2026-07-28, version 2.3.0* As someone whose Gen Z I’ve always been glued to my phone which I’m working on praying the lord gives me the strength to stop but this app completely helps. I’m on streak day 95 and I’m so happy that this app has helped me so much! It locks apps so you can get into the word more! There’s also an excellent quiz section that helps and you can tap a verse and get a deeper understanding of it. And if you ever have an emergency there’s a button to shut it off for 15 minutes to make a call or whatever you may need to do. I can’t wait for the audio feature to be added thank you guys for making such an amazing app! ### 5/5 — sehr gut *2026-07-28* sehr gut **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass dir Bible Mode gefällt. Gottes Segen! 🙏 🇩🇪 ### 5/5 — 젠지 성경 goat *2026-07-27* 한국어로 읽고 싶어요! 지금도 너무 좋아요 **Developer response:** 좋은 리뷰 정말 감사합니다! Bible Mode를 좋아해 주셔서 기쁩니다. 한국어로 성경 구절을 읽고 싶다는 의견도 소중히 참고하겠습니다. 더 나은 앱을 만들 수 있도록 계속 노력하겠습니다. 🙏 🇰🇷 ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-27, version 2.3.0* This helped a ton with my morning routine and spending more time with God ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Failed with no response *2026-05-19, version 2.2.7* Your app is repeatably failing. And there is no response or support. Interest is lost quickly with this app ### 1/5 — CANNOT Unblock Apps *2026-01-31, version 2.2.5* This is HORRIBLE… i have tried new settings.. turned my ipad off.. then back on… nothing i do turns my apps back on… after several months of daily use ### 1/5 — Expensive and Wrong *2025-11-30, version 2.2.1* This app should not be behind a paywall. Imagine paying a priest to remove a bad influence or addiction or an idol so you can get closer to God. A one time payment i could understand but a weekly subscription to help people pick up their Bible and put down their phones is ridiculous ### 1/5 — Why bro. Another subscription service *2025-11-28, version 2.2.1* Had this app recommended to me by a sister in Christ. Was super excited to start using the app bc I struggle to be consistent in prayer. Only to find out I have to pay to use all the features. Seriously?? A subscription to help me get closer to God??? ### 1/5 — Not Catholic friendly? *2025-11-10, version 2.1.8* Didn’t include Catholic books and was consistently wrong with Bible chat ### 1/5 — the cost *2025-09-23, version 2.1.4* i love the concept and idea of this app. i was so excited to start this journey and then i seen the cost of it. i understand for some the price isn’t that much of a big deal but for me it was. i wondered, why must it charge me to spend more time with God? i just feel as if this app will be more inclusive and a better concept if it were free to use and then additional features that aren’t as necessary would be premium, and you’d have to pay. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-09-22, version 2.1.4* literally was so excited to use and then of course you have to pay to use a GOD app smh. why are we profiting off his name just let us followers do better. ### 1/5 — Charging for scriptures is crazy *2025-09-20, version 2.1.4* When the Bible is free ### 1/5 — Update your AI *2025-09-13, version 2.1.2* You’re AI is slow. It doesn’t know anything that I’m asking it and it’s not really helpful. ### 1/5 — Expensive subscription, misleading promotion *2025-07-22, version 2.0.16* Deceptive advertising practices - promoted through content that isn’t clearly marked as advertising. £9.99/month subscription for what appears to be basic spiritual content. The marketing approach doesn’t seem to align with genuine Christian values. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-19, version 2.3.2* Honestly the best decision I’ve made in a long time. I can’t believe I WANT to go into the app. I’ve recently been leaving my social media because it’s so empty, and I come on this app and feel so fulfilled. I love it. 20/10 app. ### 5/5 — The BEST app you can get! *2026-08-18, version 2.3.2* This app has quite literally changed my life. I used to sit for hours on end, scrolling on social media, telling myself, “After this video you can read your bible”. Only to, of course, put off spending time with the Lord for a few more hours just so I could have extra screen time. I downloaded this app in hopes that i would simply have something that would prevent me from going on to social media, and not even allow me the chance to scroll. I didn’t want to just limit my screen time on my phone, because i can press ‘15 more minutes’ thirty more times and keep scrolling!! This app works perfectly because it forces you to spend time in His Word before anything. What i love about it most, is that you don’t just have to read your bible. This app offers mini games such as a biblical version of Wordle (my favorite), trivia, word searches and so much more. By the time i have completed one of these games, i forgot that I even wanted to scroll. There are also options to snap a picture of your bible in person, or read daily devotions instead. It’s not only fun, but I’m also memorizing scripture and learning new things about the bible instead of scrolling. If your someone like me, where setting a screen time limit just doesn’t work, then I would definitely recommend this app. You can spend time with the Lord in place of social media, and keep your Bible Word streak running strong! (I’m currently at 23! 🔥) If the publishers of this app ever wanted to promote this on every platform, boy would I! That’s how much I love it. ### 5/5 — Had this for 1 day already *2026-08-15, version 2.3.2* Absolutely amazing for spiritual healing. Yesterday, I was in my room staring at the ceiling wondering what I was worth and if I was worth it to anyone, even myself. But when I found this app, I felt like I was worth something to God, and that’s always enough. ### 5/5 — GenZ translation bible *2026-08-14, version 2.3.2* I really love the Genz translation bible, It makes me realate and understand more. It made me read the Bible way more than usual. I wish it was a official Bible translation. I love it✨✨❤️Praise GOD✨👑 ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2026-08-13, version 2.3.2* Everything about this app is great even the things that aren’t added yet they still focus to improve on and make getting closer to God easier to start! ### 5/5 — Keeps me closer to god *2026-08-11, version 2.3.2* Please use it if you are on you phone to much ### 5/5 — Amazing app!! *2026-08-09, version 2.3.1* This app is absolutely amazing! I love all of the features are centered around God such as mini games, sleep stories, quizzes, even chatting features to help you ask questions for your devotional, it even gives you a daily devotional!! The best part about this app is you don’t have to pay to get access to all of the features!! It keeps me focused on God throughout the day especially when I’m doom scrolling or I can’t get off of my phone. If anyone wants to find an app that keeps them focused on God with tons of amazing features, I would 100% recommend this one! ### 5/5 — The more Scripture the better *2026-08-09, version 2.3.1* I love the verse flow and how it flows right into a prayer. Prayer is the lifeblood of the believer and praying God’s Word has to be doubled in power and efficacy. ### 5/5 — Best developers. *2026-08-07, version 2.3.1* Best app I tried. I grew more with god & felt more complete. I have some friends that wish that it were on android. ### 5/5 — Game changer *2026-08-06, version 2.3.0* This app is incredible and has done wonders for being in the Word more often. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
