A Closer Look at the "You Version Bible App for Kids"

YouVersionKids

You Version presents 41 major Bible stories with animation that your kids watch, listen to, and interact with by touching the screen to make fun things happen. Ages 3-7.  Cellphone or Tablet. This Bible app was created by Life.Church, an American evangelical multi-site church based in Edmond, OK.

The text of the stories is kid-friendly retelling, like a storybook. After each "page" is heard you can click the page to make things happen, like make character grumble or jump.  After you have read the story, only then can you do the activity. At the end of the story there's a quiz question. You receive "points/awards" for reading through, answering the question, etc.

The app presents some modest "follow up activities" for the kids that include the ol' "matching cards" game (aka Concentration).  They didn't do a lot to enhance the content, but I suppose they help to incentivize kids to continue learning the stories so they can play the games.

The program reminds me of the Play and Learn Children's Bible software that came out in the late 90's on PC and Mac. You Version features more animation.

The same story videos found in the app are also posted on YouTube.

Of course, you don't get the tablet interface, touch and follow-up activities if you just watch the video on YouTube.

Each story must be downloaded to your device when you want to watch it. That's not a problem unless you have a really slow internet connection.

The "Bible App for Kids" is available for iPhone/iPad, Android Tablets, and Amazon Kindleyouversionappoptions
