This update is all about your feedback. You told me where Scripture First was easy to bypass, where it got in the way, and where it could push you to actually stick with reading the Bible. So I went in and fixed it.Here's what's new: Harder to bypass. The workarounds people were using to skip the verse and jump straight into Instagram? Closed. Your phone now actually holds the line for you. Smoother reading flow. The verse experience is cleaner, faster, and easier to sit with, so you finish the reading instead of rushing through it. Better stickiness. Small changes throughout the app to make this a habit you keep, not one you quit after week two. Bug fixes and stability across the board. Scripture First blocks the apps you can't put dow, Instagram, TikTok, whatever's stealing your time, until you read a verse. You set the apps. You set the reading length. Your phone enforces it. Scripture before the scroll. Thank you for using it. Every update gets better because of the people on the other side telling me what's broken. Keep the feedback coming.
