“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.

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.

From the same answer for everyone, through reading the message in front of it, asking before assuming and preferences the person sets, to assumptions shown within one conversation and a remembered profile of someone’s faith: decide how the assistant tells a sceptic from a believer, and what it may keep about where they stand.
