Sad it won’t work for us. ### 3/5 — Voice change *2026-08-26, version 2.0.4* What happened to the regular voice during tonight’s reading? It sounds very AI today (8/26/26) versus how calming the other female voice sounds. My daughter doesn’t like it now :( this is our nightly routine and now I’m not sure.. please use the other female voice. This one is so artificial and almost sarcastic in tone. ### 5/5 — A bible helper *2026-08-26, version 2.0.3* It’s good it makes you a boost to sleep ### 5/5 — Wonder app for children to learn about God! *2026-08-26, version 2.0.4* I love this app! ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2026-08-25, version 2.0.4* I just downloaded the app and immediately was able to download free activities and coloring pages for our family. I wanted to continue using the services for my children to grow closer in gods word but as a single mom, I couldn’t afford it on my own. I emailed customer service regarding their financial program and was able to receive 6 months free. They were so kind and quick to do this for us and we are so grateful and excited to use this app more. ### 5/5 — The best out there. *2026-08-24, version 2.0.3* Been going through a hard time & I reached out & they responded quickly & help my family & I out so much. So greatful. ### 5/5 — Add faith lessons and reminders to everyday routines *2026-08-24, version 2.0.3* Bedtime stories, wake-up affirmations, quick stories on the go. No matter where you go, you take your faith journey with you for the kids to learn (in a fun way!) ### 4/5 — Fun connection time *2026-08-24, version 2.0.3* The app has several things to experience. There's stories that teach important gospel principles with humor that had my little girl laughing a lot. It warms my heart listening to the meditations and the good influential things to help my daughter to think about and feel. Super big fan of working with Theo! ### 5/5 — Phenomenal App *2026-08-24, version 2.0.3* This app is amazing!!!! I love using it for my kids everyday and night. It’s become part of our night routine and they look forward to it everyday! I highly recommend. It’s such a great kid friendly way to incorporate God into the kids lives. ### 5/5 — I love Theo *2026-08-23, version 2.0.3* Theo is a good app. I love how we get to do. Prayers and I was this one thing called the joke of the day sometimes it’s not really funny but just give her hearts for eyes for the emojis is a good app. You should get it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Worth every Penny! *2026-08-22, version 2.0.3* My 6 and 8 yr old listen to the story of St Therese the little flower endlessly. They can’t get enough! Even though I do ministry, after listening to the bed time affirmations, my kids say with conviction things I thought I had instilled, “God made me on purpose!” Important investment. Perfect for those who don’t know how to start praying with their kids as well as people looking for a fresh extra voice. Problem winding kids down? Send them to sleep with Theo playing!❤️🙏🏻❤️ ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-21, version 2.0.3* Excellent for families! ### 2/5 — Help *2026-08-21, version 2.0.3* I haven’t been able to login and have been waiting for assistance via email.

My babies are literally sleeping within 5 minutes of financing our story and then prayer time. What an anointed app! My kids love that you get to earn points when you participate in the activities they have for kids. Thank you! Jesus! ### 5/5 — Amazing Word for children of ALL ages *2026-08-17, version 2.0.3* This is literally planting God's word into the hearts of all his children and connecting them to the Makers of Makers, Lord of Lords, and King of Kings. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bible app should be free *2026-08-22, version 2.0.3* As soon as I saw I had to pay, I felt scammed. That’s not how Bible apps work. ### 1/5 — No Response to My Refund Request *2026-08-19, version 2.0.3* My subscription was automatically charged after the free trial ended. I did not intend to continue with the paid subscription. As soon as I noticed the charge, I contacted support and requested a refund, but I have not received any response yet. Please respond to my request. I really need my refund and would greatly appreciate your help in resolving this as soon as possible ### 1/5 — Unauthorized charges *2026-08-18, version 2.0.2* Please refund subscription! This was an unauthorized charge! For $60!!!! Really? ### 1/5 — So much AI *2026-08-12, version 2.0.2* I was excited to find a new app to encourage my son through the faith. If I’m going to pay for an app I think I’d expect the app to also pay artists instead of using AI to create content. There are so many incredible Catholic artist out there. I’ll come back when there’s less AI content. 🩵 ### 1/5 — I feel that this app has scammed me. *2026-08-07, version 2.0.1* I used it ONCE during a free trial, signed up by accident, and forgot about it. Got charged, but they refuse to refund me. I’ve requested refund again ### 1/5 — Ronna Garcia *2026-07-30, version 2.0.0* Bad customer experience did not receive refund after cancellation ### 1/5 — Review *2026-07-25, version 1.1.33* My card was charged a substantial amount and it was not authorized. I am very upset that this happen and will be deleting this app. ### 1/5 — Charged a premium *2026-07-16, version 1.1.33* Do not recommend. Charged me $59 for subscription I didn’t activate! ### 1/5 — Sneaky / shady subscription *2026-07-07, version 1.1.33* Any app that has a sneaky subscription where they do not inform you via email that you are paying $xxx on xxx, in my opinion, does not deserve our family’s business. I had no idea we were even subscribed. Shame on this brand. This is not Catholic behavior. ### 1/5 — Glitch!! *2026-07-01, version 1.1.31* Love the app when it works, but too many glitches and not worth paying for it. They respond by telling you to update the app when there is no update and they don’t fix the glitches. Temporary fixes when they should get down to the real problem. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — God is great *2026-08-30, version 2.0.5* Great for bed time, peaceful, and the most cheapest trial I have seen. great app hope you use it thank you Theo, may god bless you all. ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-08-29, version 2.0.5* I had a really great experience with Theo and their customer support!

Thank you for the amazing customer service! 🤍🙏🏼✨ ### 5/5 — Hermosa *2026-08-28, version 2.0.3* Es la mas hermosa app para niños, sus cuentos son hermosos, muy recomendables ### 5/5 — My Daughter LOVES this app *2026-08-28, version 2.0.5* My 4 year old has been using it for a couple months and literally asks to do it every night before bed and grown to like going to church more as well! ### 5/5 — Kids love it but need to fix glitches *2026-08-27, version 2.0.3* Content is amazing but too many glitches lately. Fix the technical stuff so we can enjoy the app again. ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-27, version 2.0.4* My 5yo puts Theodore to bed each night then listens to one story and is asleep! This app has been so nice for her to settle her mind and for us to have a peaceful end of the day. Her one request is more Theodore stories :) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-27, version 2.0.4* My kids and I love this app. It helps them calm down and stick to our bedtime routine. They love falling asleep to the meditation and music ### 5/5 — Theo is really out here helping families! *2026-08-27* I saw this app today and thought to myself how wonderful it would be for my son to use this. I didn’t realize that it was a paid app. At this time, I don’t have it in my budget to add in something else. I saw where they offer scholarships to families and reached out and was shocked that they are happy to help me and my 13 year old! I am so grateful! Being a teenager of this age is hard and even more of a challenge with autism and Adhd. I want my son to be able to grow in Christ and I am so happy to include this in our daily routine now! **Developer response:** What a beautiful moment 💛 So grateful our team could support you and your son this way, especially knowing how much this can mean for his walk with Christ. Thank you for sharing something so personal with us! 🙏 ### 5/5 — A beautiful app for families *2026-08-26, version 2.0.3* Theo has been such a wonderful help for me and my daughter. It makes prayer and meditation easy, peaceful, and engaging for children. We enjoy using it together, and it has helped Sophia learn about prayer while giving us special moments to connect with God and with each other. I’m very grateful for this app and highly recommend it to other families! ### 5/5 — Peace *2026-08-26, version 2.0.3* The bestia way to get closer to God and know more about him and rey Virgin Maria --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
