Best Gaming Decision Hands Down

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.

My family loves 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!

Grateful.

I can’t say how grateful I am that this app exists. As a mother to an 11 year old with a very creative mind, its all I can do to try and introduce him to entertainment that kids his age enjoy while still being connected to Christ. I asked him to try these games and unsurprisingly, he was reluctant and annoyed. But now I find him playing it all the time, and he admitted to me he really likes it. Thank you for helping a mother keep her son engaged in God’s message! (Also, please please please consider making an interactive math and reading game as well!)

Won’t let you manage your subscription to cancel it!!

My kids loved this app! I was so happy to find a Christian app for my kids to enjoy. I had gotten a free year trial from someone on TikTok. My year has now come to an end and I don’t have the money to continue the subscription so I went to cancel my subscription. The website will not let my click on the manage subscription tab. I went to account settings and STILL it will not let me interact with the manage subscription tab there either. I have contacted support twice and still no response. I can’t afford for another yearly subscription to come out of my pocket and all because the company won’t get back to me or even just fix their website so I can cancel. This is my first ever review on any app. That is how frustrated and disappointed I am. People need to be able to cancel their subscription whenever they would like. This is absolutely ridiculous. If they don’t let me cancel my subscription in time, I better get my money back if they charge me. What a bummer.

It is very boring but maybe little kids would like it.

I am not completely against it. It’s just a little boring for when you hit the age of 10. Also, it doesn’t let you change your characters look, which is very annoying because that’s the only reason I bought it. wish they had more content and it was a little annoying. They have these little clips of one big story, which I find very boring. 🥱 would recommend if you had a child maybe five or seven. But if you have an older kid looking for a Christian app, this is not the one. Nothing wrong with the content. Just boring. No ads which is good. My family does not like ads, but would add more games and other actually fun stuff like maybe events. But it is not a terrible game. There’s nothing inappropriate and no bad language. it teaches very well. No worries for parents.

Great concept and kids enjoy! But needs it WiFi to work :/

My kids (5&7) LOVE these games and comics. They even prefer them to their console games! And I get comfort knowing they're learning biblical lessons. Some complaints though: Some of the games can be occasionally glitchy on certain levels. Which is frustrating for a 5 year old who wants to beat the boss. The app doesn't work without WiFi. That's annoying since most of our screen time is on road trips and on airplanes. Another totally nit-picky complaint: The app also only works one horizontal direction. In other words I can't turn the iPad 180 degrees (say for charging cord length purposes) because the screen won't flip with it. Most game apps flip with the iPad. Over all AWESOME app! Just needs some tweaks :)

Didn’t work

The first two games didn’t work. The play button didn’t work on the Ava one. The lion sword word one would go straight to a black screen after loading. The next game I tried to help my son with was the little flame. Far too hard for him. Would’ve been nice if the scripture at the beginning of each try was narrated audibly, as he can’t read yet. The last we tried was the leap of faith one. No scripture or godly narrative/correlation being narrated to the bug jumping up the branches. Maybe I’ll give it a try in the future once some of the bugs and glitches are addressed. I don’t want my son playing inappropriate games so this seemed awesome. I just don’t want to have to sit here and read him everything on screen as I was hoping he could independently get into gods word in a way.

Full Family Fun

My husband and I decided to download this and try it out for our kids; who love screen time. We have an 8yo and a 6yo and they love this. They started out playing the battles of David and have since moved on to some of the other games. Both my husband and I enjoy it too and really like that it does get progressively harder as you continue through the games. The kids like to try and race their dad through a particular level of the game and beat him to the finish line.

TruPlay is a solid beginning for parents looking for faith-based video game alternatives.
