The prophets have emphasized the importance of family daily scripture study.  We have found that with busy family life, it is easy to forget.  This app makes it easy for you to have daily meaningful scripture study with your children.  It is oriented towards families of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  We hope this app will help you set a good habit of scripture reading and that it will bless your lives like it has blessed ours. *Scriptures The scriptures chosen apply directly to the spiritual growth of children.  Scriptures included in this app are taken from the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, and The Family: A Proclamation to the World.  Included are 6 months of daily scripture study. *Photos Each scripture includes a photo that helps children to understand the concept being taught and helps to keep them engaged. *Descriptions Simple descriptions and questions included with each scripture help the child to understand its verbiage and help to promote an open discussion within families. *Timer Alert This app has a customizable option for you to set a daily timer to remind your family to read the scriptures.  It has sound options and push notification which can easily be turned on or off. Helpful Hints: We have written descriptions for these scriptures to use as an outline.  You can also explain these scriptures in your own words. Using your own descriptions can help your children to understand them better on a personal level.  It can also be helpful to have your children mark these scriptures in their own books and have them follow along as you read.  We believe that it is important for children to hear and read the scriptures as they are written followed by a simple explanation so they can learn how to understand them on their own. ## Key features - Daily scripture readings - Scriptures from Bible, Book of Mormon, etc. - Engaging photos for children - Simple descriptions and discussion questions - Customizable daily timer alerts - Push notifications ## Recent user reviews (10 of 22) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/verse-by-verse-daily-scripture-study-for-lds-families-and-kids/id809577320/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Awesome for busy families *2020-08-23, version 1.4* I’ve been searching for something quick I can do with my kids before sending them off to school. This app is awesome! We read the scripture and accompanying message. It gives us something we can all be thinking about as a family throughout the day. All my kids enjoy it, from the 11yr old down to the 3 yr old. ### 5/5 — Simple & powerful *2020-01-04, version 1.4* I love the simplicity of this app. It’s so easy to navigate. There are verses for each day and for each day you look at a verse, they are saved in a history of previous verses. Then there are topics…lots of topics, each with multiple verses. But my favorite part are the questions asked after each verse. I am not great at asking open ended questions. This really helps me have words questions to ask my kids and myself. Thank you for this wonderful app. ### 5/5 — Perfect scripture study for little ones *2018-05-02, version 1.4* We have a 4 year old and a 2 year old, this app is just right for our family right now. They don’t have the biggest attention span, so one verse is perfect. I love that it explains what the verse means and has a picture as an example - they are actually getting something out of the verses we read. I can’t recommend this enough!!! ### 5/5 — Strengthening Armor on the way to School *2018-03-16, version 1.4* We have used this App every school day for over 2 years now. On our way to school my now 9yr old looks at the picture and reads the scripture and details at the bottom and we talk about it. Perfect way to spend the 9 minutes right before school. We already read scriptures for breakfast but, in this world you can never have too much armor. We look forward to our SOTD (scripture of the day). Thank you for helping us with our armor! Such a great App! ### 5/5 — We love this app! *2018-03-12, version 1.4* My favorite scripture app! Simple and cute! I love the extra thoughts at the bottom of each scripture too. Such a cute, simple scripture app. ### 5/5 — Teenage version??? *2018-01-05, version 1.4* Love this app. We have used it for a few years. Every morning before school. My kids are into their teenage years now, anyway you can make a verse by verse teenager addition??? As this one is based for small children more ### 5/5 — One of our Family's favorite apps!! *2017-03-26, version 1.4* One of our Family's favorite apps!! We have used this app every day for over a year, and I can't say enough good about it or share it with enough people. This app helped our 4/5 year old learn to read! Our then-four-year-old would repeat after me the scripture words, we would pass around the picture and talk about what it was of, and then our older child would read the devotional on the bottom and we would take turns discussing the topic. As our 1YO got a bit bigger, he would help passing around the phone so everyone would have a chance to see the picture. As time went on, the 4YO (now 5) would look at the words as I said them and he repeated. Then he would read most of the words on his own with a little help. Now he is reading everything!! It has been powerful to see his eyes light up when he is able to read and understand the scriptures. We include the LDS Sing Along app with our bedtime routine, and our youngest (2.5) selects the song and I help him lead the music. We love our LDS apps!! Thank you for a wonderful app that helps bring our family closer together and closer to Christ! ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2016-04-12, version 1.4* This app has been such a blessing for us. My grandson has struggled to read and I have felt that by reading scriptures, he reading ability would grow. But, it was overwhelming for him to sit down with the scriptures. This app has made it fun and easy to get him to read on his own. At first, he would only read short scriptures and I read everything else. Now, he reads the entire thing on his own. I can't sing my praises loud enough. Thank you for a wonderful, kid friendly app. ### 5/5 — Great Tool *2015-11-29, version 1.4* With small kids any tool that helps bring the spirit is a welcome tool. Five stars for an awesome app. Future updates could include language support. ### 1/5 — The worst app I have ever purchased!! So disappointed *2015-07-28, version 1.4* For 3.99 you get like 15 scriptures and that's it!!! I seriously want my money back and plan to ask for it!
