Sneaky

Limited Bible verses, found a FREE app instead
My only issue with it is that it seems to give the same several Bible verses over and over. I’ve had it for about a month now and I see the same rotation of verses on my Lock Screen all the time. I don’t have any filters set up to limit it in this way. I have paid for the entire year so I will use it until the subscription is up but probably won’t resubscribe because of this.
Update: they reached out to me to try and rectify the issue. I submit more details via their requested method and it has been about a few months. I have still not seen any improvement. I switched to the Bible Chat app, it has the same exact feature and it is FREE. Would have never downloaded this one in the first place if I knew about that one.

Charlie Kirk
You have included a quote from a racist Charlie Kirk. Obviously this app is only for a certain group of people. What would Jesus say?
Too many questions.
It wants to know tons of personal stuff and asks 1000 questions and for money before you can do anything or see the app. I gave up. No thanks.
Impossible to cancel
They keep trying to charge me after I canceled the free trial
None
Once you quoted Charlie Kirk, I knew this was not the app for me me. Wish I could get my $60 back!
Not worth it
I tried a free trial and it ended up charging me 59.99 for a year which I would not committed to but as soon as I put my card information in it charged it ! I tried to refund and it wouldn’t let me so I encourage you not to even try out !
Subscription
They bait you with 45 questions then ask for money. Lame.
Incorrect
I wanted to save some of the daily verses in my Bible, and when I looked up the verse it was nothing like the “quote” in the app. I then run several of the “quotes” against several different Bible translations and the apps quotes were nothing like the actual scripture. It didn’t even convey the same general idea of the actual scripture it claimed it was quoting. So disappointing.
Subscription
I asked it to remind me about the subscription fee and it did not and now my apple account is frozen.
Premium superscript but only blank screen
Contacted several time but without any results
Another Grift
Seems cool, and then immediately "Pay me after 3 days"
Upgraded to Family sharing and doesn’t share
I’ve upgraded to a plan that has family sharing and it will not work for my wife… I’ve tried contacting multiple ways with no responses.. I’d like to get this resolved…
4/19/26 still no response even when trying the links… I’m to the point of requesting a refund.. even the response to the review just sends you into a frequently asked questions link…

Scam
This is not the Bible. Bible widget: “you’re going to make it. Trust me. Psalm 23”
Actual God’s word: “the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. Psalm 23”
And that’s not the only misrepresentation. Go read the actual Bible people! It’s worth it! The actual Bible app is free!!! FREEEEEE

Cancel my subscription
After my free trial I was a few days late to cancel. Once I did cancel they still are trying to take my money. I can’t even use my App Store. And there is no way to contact anyone with this. So if you have an issue there is nothing you can do because they have no contact information. Dont download this app.
Alarm won’t stop
I had just a trial of this app in January. I cancelled it but there’s an alarm within the app that goes off EVERY Saturday and Sunday mornings! I have tried everything I can think of and what’s been suggested but I cannot find it on my phone! Help!!
Money grab
This is just a data collecting survey with a money grab at the end. You cannot use the app until providing survey level data, and then you only get 3 days before needing to pay. Apps should be allowed to make money, but potential users should know this app doesn’t just have in-app purchases-it’s most basic use requires a paid subscription. And if you’re just looking for lock screen widgets, carefully consider what you’re willing to trade for that (personal data, money).
So Many Questions
Put me through so many set up questions - to drop a pay wall the very end. Very sleazy.
just good phrases and feels not biblical.
Not about the bible.
Too many questions
Couldn’t even get to a homepage without a million questions. Got annoyed and uninstalled
This is helping me grow my faith ✞
This app is amazing, it’s like doom scrolling but with things that are helping me grow my faith. And the best part is that I get to add bible verses to my Home Screen and to my lock screen!
Ask Too Many Questions
I just want to see scripture
Annoyed
Can’t shut a 10pm alarm off always wakes me up
I almost bought it
I almost purchased this. I think it’s a little pricey I love it so much the past three days. I was going back and forth and decided to read reviews. When I saw they include quotes from Charlie Kirk, I made up my mind. It’s a NO! But I’m going to look for another similar to this.
Pricing lie
When you first download the app gives you free 3 days then wants to charge 35$ for year. But if you cancel it wants you to to come back with 50% off at 30$ a year what a joke
Monthly Charge
Only after you spend 10 minutes giving them all of your information, do they let you know it is a $3 monthly fee.
Sorry. Not Loving It😕
I don’t feel it’s relevant to my needs according to my questionnaire. I also got burned out by the constant pinging of reminders which I found I could turn that off. Lastly, I was told I would be notified when my trial period was up, which I was not and I was billed the full amount for a year. Very disappointed.
