God for Kids is a free devotional app from Scripture Union that introduces young children to God, the Bible, and prayer. It blends 31 child-centred devotions with verses, prayers, games, and songs.
Our verdict
God for Kids is a small app with a clear, gentle mission: help very young children take their first steps in knowing God, the Bible, and prayer. Now run by Scripture Union England & Wales, it wraps 31 child-centred devotions in a warm, playful package of Bible verses, simple prayers, interactive games, and songs and videos that unlock as kids progress.
For its target age band of roughly four to eight, it hits the mark. The tone is age-appropriate and encouraging, the reward system keeps little ones engaged, and, crucially for parents, it is completely free with no ads-driven paywalls or nagging in-app purchases. As a safe first devotional to do alongside a parent, it is lovely.
Its limits are simply its scope. Thirty-one devotions is a finite journey, new content is infrequent, and the production, while charming, is simpler than bigger-budget kids' Bible apps like the YouVersion Bible App for Kids or Superbook. Children past about eight will outgrow it quickly. Within its narrow, worthy purpose, though, it does exactly what it sets out to do.
