Bible Lock Screens review: put the Bible into your daily life

Introduction

We all look at our iPhone and iPad locks screens several times throughout the day, be it to check the time, make a call, send an SMS, or to use one of the several apps. Why not make your lock screen based on the Bible, so that you are reminded of it each time you look at your lock screen?

 

For the price of $0.99 only, this is a modest yet handy and functional tool to ensure that you have the Word of God to help you in your day-today proceedings, or simply to stop, take a deep breath, and gain some perspective.

 

Those of you who work several jobs and cannot commit to reading part of the Bible once a day will definitely find this app very useful as you'll constantly receive gentle reminders about your spiritual journey.

Images & Words

Through its 1000 custom Bible-based images, Bible Lock Screens provides its users with enough lock screens to last several years even if they wanted a new one each day.

 

The interface makes it very easy to skim through the images in thumbnail view. The images are segregated into categories such as New, Popular, Love, Relationships, Encouragement, Prayer, and many more, to help you find one that is relevant to your current circumstances and state of mind.

 

 

Each screen is optimized for iOS 7 and supports iPhone 5's larger screen. There are also several images specifically for iPad's varying Landscape or Portrait modes.

Video Devotionals

This app also features a section that presents users with bite-sized Video devotionals lasting just 15 seconds each. These videos are from the app developer's Instagram page and will ensure that you get your nuggets of wisdom should you be short on time or want a quick reference to the Word of God.

 

I'd like to mention that I noticed when I refer to my iPhone to look at the time, it takes about eight seconds for the lock screen to power down. I do this several times a day, which makes this app a pretty awesome way to be reminded about the path you're on.

 

However, I would have liked a feature which enabled changing lock screens, providing different messages through the day, but perhaps it is also a good thing that each high-quality image has to be downloaded separately. This means there is less space being taken up on your device.

Final Words
