Is First Followers trying to replace family devotion or church?+
No. It is a structured learning and screen-time tool designed to make family conversation easier and complement the work of parents and churches.
Do children have to earn screen time?+
No. That part is entirely optional. You can use the lessons, the parent guides, and the reports without connecting an entertainment app.
Does First Followers decide whether my child’s faith is sincere?+
Never. It can report bounded learning evidence such as completion, passage answers, and a response the child knows their parent will read. It does not judge what they believe, how good they are, or where they stand with God—and it is not built to.
What happens to what my child writes?+
Your child’s submitted responses are visible to you, and they are told that before they write. There is no advertising or child chatbot, and we do not use children’s answers to train AI models. Our published family-app Privacy Policy explains retention, service providers, and how to request deletion.
What if the app restricts my child’s device at the wrong moment?+
You stay in charge of the phone. Only the apps you picked are ever affected, you can hand out time or lift a restriction from your own phone at any moment, and you can switch the whole feature off without losing the lessons or the reports.
Why pay when there is free Bible content everywhere?+
You are not paying to read the Bible. You are paying for lessons written and checked for your child’s age, that show up without you preparing anything, that tell you what your child actually understood, that build on each other over months instead of being a pile of unrelated videos, and a routine that keeps going without you running it.
Will this turn into one more system I have to manage?+
That is the thing we are trying hardest to avoid. Lessons move forward on their own along the path you chose, setup is short and picks sensible defaults for you, and we only bring you in when something actually needs you—not every time a lesson is finished.
Where can my family get First Followers?+
First Followers is available now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Download the app and set up your family account. A family subscription is required for Bible courses, learning activities, and parent tools; plans and prices are shown in the app before purchase.
