## What is BlessUp?

### 5/5 — I enjoy the app!

*2026-08-20*

I was using Instagram a little too much and this helps me pause throughout the day. The bible verse tiles look great on my homescreen

### 1/5 — I thought I could rely on this app.

*2026-06-25*

They were dark trapping me into buying a subscription, and there was no exit button, they even said “you said yes” which I never agreed to anything. So just warning yall, there is not free access to this app. You only get to use it if you pay, which is very selfish, and stupid.
