The #1 Most Popular Christian Wallpaper App Custom Bible-based wallpapers We have thousands of wallpapers, designed in hundreds of styles. We have content for everyone to be blessed by. No subscription, one-time fee Pay once and get unlimited access. It is becoming harder and harder to find quality apps that do not have a subscription. As an independent developer, thank you for your support! Collections Curated by design or topic. Feel free to download an entire collection and then make it an auto-rotating wallpaper. See our tutorials section for how to do that! Devotionals A growing list of Bible-based devotionals, each with an audio version. We will continue to add more of these as time goes on. Let me know if you like them! Completely redesigned The app has been completely remade. Old designs have been removed, and over 500+ new designs have been added. Download Button On every wallpaper, look in the bottom right for a dedicated download button. This will make it much easier, and gone are the days when you had to tap and hold to download. Search bar Finally, a search bar! This was one of the most requested features. Search for quotes, Bible verses, devos, videos, etc. You can also try typing out the verse, verse reference, topic, and more. Videos BETA Devotional & voiceover videos by myself, Ryan Maher & also my good friend, Marcus Stanley. I make a lot of content like this for social media and thought it would be a blessing to include it. So let me know if it is a blessing to you. Listen BETA Sometimes I want to sit back and listen to Scripture over soothing ambient music. If you are like me, I pray this blesses you. So grab some headphones and allow Scripture to speak to you. iPad-specific images We have added a bunch of iPad-specific content, perfect for Landscape & Portrait modes. Much more is coming soon. ---- iPhone users look at their lock screen many times a day, to use their phone, to check the time, or to use one of the millions of apps available on the iOS platform. The lock screen appears for about eight seconds and is the first thing you see when you use your iPhone. Eight seconds is a lot of time to be looking at something random. Why not use a background with Scripture on it? My heart is that these Bible Lock Screen wallpapers would help remind you of what the Word of God says and help you walk it out. ---- APP STORE REVIEWS: "This app is a GREAT buy! By far the best Christian wallpaper app in the AppStore. Such a great way to be encouraged daily by God's word in beautiful art form for your iPhone!" - Kim S. (iTunes User) "This has been so awesome! The variety of lock/home screens available is practically endless. I also love the new update. Flows great! What a great way to profess your faith in the 21st century. Get it!!" - Lando25 (iTunes User) "What a blessing it is to have this app! I'm able to encourage other people by sending them a pic. And when I look at my phone I get to be reminded of my sweet Savior the Lord Jesus Christ! Thanks a million times over! - Torch A. (iTunes User) "This app is the best for getting to know Bible verses and if you are having a bad day then you will always have something to look at when you turn on your social networking device." - R110545 (iTunes User) "I love this app! It has definitely replaced the regular lock screen pictures I usually use and is also a great conversation starter when others use my phone! I hope to see even more screen options in the future!" - Mandi4787 (iTunes User) ---- Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/biblelockscreens Like us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/biblelockscreens Check us out online: http://www.biblelockscreens.com

Echo exists to help you pray. We believe that prayer is a powerful and effective way for us to connect with God. If you're anything like us, the biggest obstacles that keep you from praying are difficulty organizing or keeping a list of your prayers, and then actually remembering to pray for those things when life gets busy. Echo was created to solve these problems, and to give you space to engage with your Creator. We want to help you pray without ceasing. “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + KEEP TRACK OF ALL YOUR PRAYERS Echo lets you keep a list of every single one of your prayers. You can add as many prayers as you want, categorize them, delete old prayers, and even mark prayers as answered so you can see how God is working (and remember to thank Him!). SHARE PRAYER REQUESTS WITH OTHERS You have the ability to share prayer requests with other individuals or groups. Share prayers with friends and family privately, or create a group to communicate together. Sharing works great for small groups or focused communities committing to pray for each other throughout the week. REMIND YOURSELF TO PRAY You can easily set up push notifications or emails to remind you to pray for your prayers, prayers that others have shared with you, or prayers from your groups. Reminders help you engage with God throughout the week, even when you find yourself busy with life. PRAY WITHOUT DISTRACTION Echo gives you the ability to "Pray Now" which gives you a clear, focused way to pray. Choose what you would like to pray for and optionally set a timer for how long you want to pray. NOTIFY PEOPLE WHEN YOU’VE PRAYED FOR THEM After praying for someone, send out a notification to let them know you’ve prayed for their shared prayer. You get the option of sending out a message of encouragement after praying for them in the “Pray Now” portion of the app. FOLLOW & PRAY FOR YOUR MINISTRY With Echo Feeds, you can follow any ministry and pray for them! If you are a church or ministry, replace your old-school prayer chain or email list with a platform that is beautiful, organized, powerful and instant. Send real-time updates to your network, and connect your community in prayer. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Echo Plus+ Membership We offer many features for free, but to access all the features in Echo, you will need a paid subscription.

Terms of service: https://new.echoprayer.com/legal/terms-of-service + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Prayer connects us. There is something beautiful and exciting that happens when we see God answer prayers. As we see prayers answered, our faith gets stronger, which in turn causes us to pray even more and feel even more empowered to share what God is doing. We’d love to connect with you and your story.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Echo Prayer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Echo Prayer has 22K ratings behind it against 69, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Bible Lock Screens + Devos's written reviews are positive against 80% of Echo Prayer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bible Lock Screens + Devos ships an update every 5 months, Echo Prayer monthly. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
