How to choose a Bible app for your child
For kids ages 3 to 7, look for narrated stories, short sessions, no ads, and purchases behind a parental gate. Try a free story before you pay, and check it comes in the language your family uses.
We make Bible Stories for Kids, so keep that in mind as you read. The checklist works for any app you are comparing.
What matters at each age
- Ages 3 and 4: short stories, warm narration and big pictures. At this age they listen rather than read.
- Ages 5 and 6: a little more plot, with characters they can remember and talk about with you.
- Age 7: they can follow the words while listening and start meeting real Bible verses.
A checklist for comparing apps
- Is every story narrated, in a voice you would happily hear nightly?
- Are there ads or links a child could tap?
- Are purchases behind a parental gate?
- Can you try stories free before subscribing?
- How long is a story, and does that fit your routine?
- Do the stories stay faithful to the Bible account?
Where our app fits
