Not yet checked
- · Pray.com — rating, release, privacy, ads, offline behavior, parent controls, and the complete free boundary were not established in the saved check; do not recommend until a fresh official lookup.
Check the official listing and privacy policy again before installing. A dated row is a record, not a guarantee.
Read the free boundary
Section 01
A $0 download can still contain a trial, subscription, account gate, advertising layer, or locked library. The table names whether a row is a provider free claim, a free download, or a limited and unclear access boundary.
This snapshot was checked 2026-08-03. Prices, ratings, releases, and privacy labels change, so each row also carries a next review date of 2026-11-03.
Compare Christian rows
Section 02
The first table contains exactly twelve Christian or family rows. It includes Bible-story, prayer, meditation, devotional, audio, and game formats without calling any app best or certifying its safety.
Open the official US listing and linked provider page before use. Adult or general apps can contain a family subset without being designed as a child-first experience.
Keep context separate
Section 03
Moshi Kids, Smiling Mind, Aumio, and Cosmic Kids are four secular context benchmarks. They help an adult see access, account, subscription, and format patterns; they are not Christian recommendations.
The comparison keeps these rows in a second captioned table. A provider claim such as ad-free, kid-safe, or fully free remains a dated claim rather than an independent finding.
Check before installing
Section 04
An adult should check the current US listing, exact free content, paywall, account requirement, ads, external links, user content, child name or profile fields, and stated offline behavior.
If an app requests a voice, photo, location, journal, or persistent profile before its privacy flow is clear, pause and read the provider notice. Sabbath's HTML resources do not require a child account or private story.
Refresh or remove rows
Section 05
Recheck app and subscription rows monthly during launch, then at least quarterly. A row older than ninety days, with a broken privacy link, changed paywall, or missing lookup should be treated as stale until reviewed.
The page keeps one short Not yet checked list rather than filling gaps with guesses. Inclusion is a research lead, not an endorsement, and an adult makes the final decision for a child or family.
Privacy and currentness
The first two lines are words you can say. The third is your own next step.
Stop · words to say
You do not have to keep going. We can stop, open our eyes, move, get water, or sit with a trusted grown-up.
Adapt · words to say
You can listen while I read, draw, move, keep your eyes open, use AAC, or pass.
Get help · your next step
Contact a pediatrician, school counselor, qualified child mental-health professional, or safeguarding lead when concern persists or affects daily life. Use local emergency services for immediate danger, self-harm thoughts, serious breathing trouble, or an unsafe disclosure; in the United States, call or text 988 for a mental-health crisis.

Frequently asked questions
- Does a free download mean the whole app is free?
- No. It means the US listing showed a $0 download. Content may be limited, a trial may lead to a subscription, or an account or in-app purchase may be required. Read the row's free detail and current listing before installation.
- Which rows have a provider fully-free claim?
- Bible App for Kids and God for Kids carry attributed fully-free claims in this dated snapshot. Those claims do not establish privacy, moderation, child suitability, or future availability. An adult should open the official source and recheck the current boundary.
- Can I rely on an Apple 4+ rating?
- No. An App Store age label is not proof of moderation, privacy, no ads, clinical benefit, or child suitability. Use it as one listing field, then review the provider notice, controls, account flow, and content a child would actually encounter.
- Why include secular apps?
- The four secular rows are context-only benchmarks for access, account, subscription, and format patterns. They are separated from Christian and family rows and are not recommendations. The page keeps the faith and context distinctions visible for adult readers.
- What if a row's release or privacy data is old?
- Treat it as stale research, not a recommendation. Open the current official listing and privacy notice, check the free boundary and controls, and remove the row from a decision until the required fields can be rechecked.
- Can Sabbath guarantee an app is safe or private?
- No. This comparison reports dated provider claims and checked App Store details without certifying COPPA compliance, theology, moderation, privacy, or future availability. An adult remains responsible for review, device controls, consent, and stopping when a resource no longer fits.
