TruPlay: Bible Games for Kids

I saw an ad on TikTok for TruPlay and I was very excited as the games looked great and I knew it would be a great app for my kids to play where they could also hear the word of God. So I downloaded it and started the free trial. When I installed the app on my phone, which is the new iPhone, it did not work. None of the games worked for me. I open it and sometimes the application works and sometimes I have to close out of it and open it up again and wait for it to load. Once it gets to the main page I clicked on all of the games but none of them would let me play the games it would just be stuck on the loading screen. This was for every single game even the coloring game did not work. The only thing that did work on this app for me was the book section. Where you can look at the different books or have the app read it to you. I also tried this application on one of my children’s older iPad and it did not work at all. None of the games work so unfortunately I have not finished my free trial but I had to just unsubscribe because I’m not going to spend 12 dollars on an application that does not work. I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work but I do hope the company can address these issues because I would actually like to have my children play these games.

First, love the value for what we pay for these quality games, (ps if you aren’t paying for the product, then YOU are the product. I’m okay with being marketed to myself, but I’m more than happy to pay so that my kids aren’t getting ads on games.) I’m a lifelong gamer and I of course enjoy the variety but my bio kids are just getting into games and they love getting to have iPad time whether they’re reading the stories, coloring or playing the games! We are also a foster family and our current bonus kiddos came with plenty of screen time exposure, especially Roblox. After 10 minutes of Truplay we said they could go back to Roblox if they wanted but we were amazed when not even 10 minutes later they chose to come back to Truplay instead! Thank you for the work you all are doing, may it continue and contribute to changing eternities while it’s also collaborating in transforming our day to day!

I used to be somewhat of a gamer when I was in high school. Zelda, FF, Kingdom Hearts.. so RPG games are near and dear to my heart. I also know the downsides all too well. When we started inching towards video games apart from learning our letters and phonics, I realized I wanted something Christ-centered. We tried a Christian game on the computer, but it was constantly glitching. Shortly after, I found TruPlay. I thought it’d probably glitch too, because, well… Christian games are just behind! But zero glitches and many plays later: I am so so glad we bought this. The other day we were out biking with our kids and my daughter began having a rough time with the bumps and puddles. I tried encouraging her, reminding her she can do hard things. Then she began pedaling and shouting “I am a brave fox, like my parents!” That’s what one of the little characters says on TruPlay! And that’s not an isolated incident. She and her brother will run around the house pretend-playing they’re the characters in the game. They attack evil monsters in Jesus’ name! C’mon, now!! I find myself wanting a go at these games myself. I look forward to one day buying an iPad and being able to play on a bigger screen together. But yeah, way to go, developers! You’ve got TruPlay fans in this house.
