Update for 1.4 Bible Fun Lite – finally!

I can’t believe it has been almost 9 months since I updated Bible Fun Lite, but I finally did it this past weekend. It’s actually really hard to come up with more questions and considering I only have so little time during the day to do so, it makes it that much harder.

I have also been working on a new app and I hope you all will enjoy it. It has been in the works for the past couple of months, but I think I got some great headway this past weekend. I’ll post more about it when new information comes available

You can get the 1.4 Bible Fun here:

Update 1.1 for Bible FUN Lite and 1.2 for Bible Shuffle

Finally!  I updated Bible FUN Lite by adding more trivia questions.  Also, I added two more images for Bible Shuffle.

As always, you can get the app here:

Bible FUN FULL VERSION has been released!

This is the official promo for the app:

This FULL version has:
* Ads removed
* Arcade mode where you need to answer as many questions within a given time.
* Traditional mode allows you to answer questions at your own pace. Bible verse hints are even given.

This FULL version is made to help support to daily maintenance and development of Bible games. If money is an issue, by all means download the LITE version. The purpose of these apps is to give everyone a chance to learn more about the Bible!

Leaving a rating or a comment will be greatly appreciated.

Update 1.1 for Bible Shuffle

Per user request, there has been update for adding a Sound option.  Also, it seems like people don’t really like the sound to begin with, so I turned it off by default.

Please, leave some comments so I know what to change or improve – thanks!

Things changed:

1. Disabled sound per default
2. Allowed user to turn on or off sound during gameplay
3. Added a comment link and also tweaked some code

As always, you can get the app here:

Good news! Bible Shuffle has been released!

Bible Shuffle has images taken from the stories and shuffles it around. The catch is to move the images back to the original position. There is one free spot so use it to your advantage.

Bible Shuffle has
* Multiple images from the Bible to solve (more coming soon!)
* Three levels of difficulty. If there is a demand for more, a new release will come soon
* Solutions are displayed for user’s reference

Leaving a comment or rating would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Please also check back or website to see when updates will occur!

2. Added questions submitted by you (the users!)
3. Included more trivia questions in the Arcade and Traditional mode
4. Added more graphics to the screen

As always, you can get the app here:

Finally free time!

I finally got some free time (just graduated – yay!) to work on the Bible FUN app and will be working full steam to get it launched.

First and foremost, I want to thank each and everyone of you who have supported the app and also myself.  I just checked that my app has almost 7,000 downloads and 4.5/5 review.  Honestly, when I finally published the app for the first time in a lonely Starbucks corner on New Year’s Day, I wasn’t expecting this type of positive reaction AT ALL.  Seriously, it’s your comments and feedback that keeps this sole programmer chugging away, so thanks again!

Anyways, back to the original point of this post…which are updates!

Some things I am working on for the LITE version:

1.) Make Traditional mode available: This is my top priority.  A lot of you are asking for this and I will definitely push this version for the next release.  In the traditional mode, there will be no time limit and there will be a nifty help button that you can press.  If you or your child don’t know the answer, the help popup will give you a hint.  This will usually contain a bible verse!  What good way to learn the bible right?! 🙂

2.) Put in more trivia questions:  Thanks for all the comments throughout these past couple of months!  Some of you even gave me questions which is amazing and I feel so blessed.  I will need to incorporate the questions in the next release.

3.) Release full version: Honestly, I have been debating about the full version for a while.  My first priority was to release an app for everyone to use.  However, I have spent a good deal of time (late nights) and money (Starbucks coffee isn’t cheap!) on this app.  I am thinking the full version will have the ad banners removed and I will add in a couple of more categories.  I still will update the the LITE version with some new questions but mostly I will add new questions on the full version.  The charging price I am aiming for is $.99.  I think this is reasonable and quite standard, and if people don’t want to pay for it, (seeing how the reviews has been mostly positive) I am hoping the LITE version will just do fine 🙂  Again, I want to iterate that I want children to learn about the bible first and foremost.  If money is an issue, I wouldn’t mind people using the LITE version.

Any comments or opinions would be appreciated – will update soon when the release will come up!

New features/tweaks added to 1.0.6

I managed to get some time from work and school to add in even more questions for the trivia.  Also, there have been many requests to tweak the gameplay so that the counter would stop when a selection is made.  Because of that, it was imperative for me to include more questions!  So, without further adieu,  here are the changes:

1. Included more trivia questions for Children, New Testament and Old Testament categories
2. Tweaked gameplay so any correct or incorrect choices will pause clock; thus allowing player time to answer more trivia questions
3. Made minor updates in UI look

As always, you can get the app here:

New features being added to 1.0.5 – possible help from volunteers?

I have been getting a lot of requests to stop the timer when the user enters in a correct or incorrect answer. Ironically this feature was going to be released 3 weeks ago, but because of timing and testing issues, it was left on the back burner.

The good news is this has already been implemented. The bad news is this means the user will go through more trivia questions! Why is it bad? Quite simply, more trivia questions need to be created!  Only until more questions are added will this feature be released.  It will be great if volunteers could help with this and provide me some questions I can place in the game.  All you need to do is email me a simple question and the answer to it with 3 more possible options.  Very simple!

The format could be something like this:

Question: Who was Adam?

1. First man
2. First president
3. With Eve
4. Both 1 and 3

Answer: Both 1 and 3

As a developer, you would think coming up with the questions would be the easiest part, but actually combining that responsibility with updating the app (as well as working on another bible game – will announce soon!), working full time and going to part-time school, you can imagine how hard it is keep on coming up with trivia questions.

Anyways, have a great day.  Hopefully the update will be out by next week – check back often!
