Although Scripturial is not specifically designed for use with children, is possible to use Scripturial with children and at what age it might be appropriate. It is impossible to answer this definitively for every child, but here is the information you need to help make this decision.

I have personally found Scripturial useful for study with my children. In my personal experience, my 8-10 year old was able to use the app relatively independently and my 6-7 year old was able to enjoy using the app, but he needed direct supervision to remain focussed.

Mild allusion to violence

Scripturial includes vocabulary and images that could allude to violence. It teaches, and uses images to depict words such as axe, and sword. It teaches the word for dragon using cartoon and semi-realistic AI generated pictures of dragons. It also teaches vocabulary related to death and grieving. Direct depiction of violence is avoided, there is imagery of a person holding an axe and a sword, but the weapons are not depicted as being used in violent acts.

Concept of Evil

To teach the word for evil, images of evil angels and demons are included. For memorization purposes, the images are designed to vividly evoke the feeling of evil using red/fire themed backdrops and colours. Some of these images might be be scary for some younger children who have not yet been exposed to images of these concepts.

The Human Body

The word for body is taught using detailed non-gender specific drawings of the human body. Pictures are limited to what might be seen in some doctors office. Here is an example.

Because every child and family is different it is not possible to guarantee each image or practice sentence is acceptable for all children, if you have any concerns, it is strongly encouraged that a parent or guardian completes each lesson in advance of their child to confirm if each level is appropriate for your child.

Data Collection

The current version of Scripturial does not collect user data under normal operation, which makes the app compatible for usage with children in most locations as long as you do not use the optional feedback functionality.

Adults and children in some regions may also use the optional feedback button. When you use the feedback button, a small amount of anonymised feedback information is submitted. This feedback information is temporarily stored on a server until it is processed. The data is not transmitted to third parties. Feedback is handled according to the privacy policy and requires acceptence of the Terms and Conditions.
