“How much of the Bible have you read?”

“Question 1 of 2” offers four answers (None of it, I know some stories, Most of it, Every page!) with “Most of it” selected. The next screen echoes the answer: “Wow, that’s incredible. We can’t wait for you to experience it in a new way!”

Design takeaway

A familiarity question can set the right depth. Echoing every answer with praise turns a setting into flattery; say instead what the answer will change.

Check-ins and assessments

From a few setup questions that only shape what the app suggests, through a daily check-in, a gifts inventory and a church survey, to a spiritual score as a warning case: decide what each question is for, what is kept, who sees a result, and how much the result claims to know.

First use

From opening on a passage, a prayer or a question box with nothing asked, through a first page of places to start, guest use and a short tour, to questions first and payment before the first use: decide what a new person must give, and when, before they reach what they came for.
