Parent Cue
Parent Cue is a faith-based parenting app developed by The reThink Group that provides parents with weekly content to connect with their children through faith and character development. Each week the app delivers age-appropriate videos, Bible stories, memory verses, conversation starters, and devotional activities tailored to a child's developmental phase.
The app is free to download and includes core weekly content for all parents. An optional paid subscription unlocks Phase Content with deeper phase-specific insights, monthly downloadable resources, and a year-long guide to what children need most at each stage of development. It supports multiple children per account, is available in English and Spanish, and connects families with over 34,000 partner churches worldwide. It is used by more than half a million parents.

Our verdict
Parent Cue, from the reThink Group (Orange), is built for parents rather than kids. Instead of a video library, it hands you four short, age-specific cues each week designed to spark faith and character conversations in the ordinary moments of family life. Its signature idea is the '936 weeks' countdown from birth to age 18, a simple visual that reframes parenting as a finite, precious window and nudges you to make each week count.
What it does well, it does very well. The cues are practical and low-pressure, the monthly faith-and-character themes tie into Bible stories and devotionals tailored to your child's age, and the app syncs with more than 34,000 Orange partner churches so home and church point in the same direction. The tone is warm and non-preachy, which is exactly right for busy parents who want encouragement, not homework. Its 4.8-star App Store rating across roughly 2.4K reviews reflects how well this lands.
The honest catch is scope. Parent Cue is a coaching-and-nudge tool, not a streaming service, so there is little here for a child to watch or explore independently. Families get the most value when their church already uses Orange curriculum, and the church-tie plus optional in-app purchases can feel limiting for unaffiliated households. If you want media your kids consume directly, pair it with a service like Minno or the free Bible App for Kids.

Best for
Parents who want a low-effort, consistent way to weave faith and character into daily family life, especially those already connected to an Orange partner church.
Look elsewhere if
You want a rich on-demand library of shows and Bible videos for kids to watch independently; a streaming service like Minno or Yippee TV fits that better.
