devo puts Scripture between you and the apps that pull you away — and puts your real quiet time in front of the friends who keep you honest. TAKE YOUR devo — ONE HONEST MOMENT A DAY Once a day, capture a two-photo moment of your quiet time and share it with your Group — a private, invite-only circle of friends. Until you post yours, today's posts stay blurred: you can see who has shown up, never what they shared. Post yours, and today's posts open. Comment, reply, and grow a rhythm together. SCRIPTURE BEFORE SCROLLING Choose the apps that steal your attention. When you open one, devo meets you with a verse first. Read it and continue — or scan a page of a real, physical Bible to unlock. App shielding is free and unlimited for everyone, on every plan. FREE • Shield as many apps as you want with the Scripture pause • Daily verse, and a flame streak for showing up every day • Join any Group you're invited to — posting, commenting, and replying are always free • One free Group of your own: bring 3 friends and it unlocks for the four of you • Memories — a private, on-device calendar of your quiet-time moments, with a recovery copy saved to your Photos WITH PREMIUM (subscription) • Create Groups instantly — no invites required first • Up to 10 Groups, and up to 50 people in a Group you own • Scan to Unlock — photograph a page of your physical Bible to unlock your guarded apps • Hard Block Mode — schedule weekly hours when your guarded apps don't open at all • Choose your unlock duration GROUPS AND COMMUNITY Every Group is private and invite-only. There is no public feed, no discovery, and no follower counts. You must accept the Community Guidelines before your first post, and you can report any post, comment, or reply, block any member, and leave or delete at any time. Content is moderated. PRIVACY devo is local-first. Your guarded-app selections never leave your device. Groups require Sign in with Apple; your email is never shown to other members. AI-assisted features send data only after your explicit, revocable consent. No ads, no third-party analytics SDKs, and devo does not sell your data. SUBSCRIPTION devo Premium is offered as an annual subscription (with a free trial) or a weekly subscription; the current price for each plan is always shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: devo at none against Scroll Scripture's shown. devo also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 60%). Scroll Scripture's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 38) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
