Frequently Asked Questions

Instill Kids Bedtime Prayer is a mobile app for parents who want a calm bedtime prayer routine for their children. It offers personalized spoken prayers, classic prayers, gentle background audio, playlists, daily reminders, and scripture-based Learn and Pray modes when enabled for the app build.

The app uses the profile details you enter, such as a child's name and voice preferences, to create personalized audio prayers. Pronunciation guidance is stored behind the scenes so the spoken prayer can say the name naturally without showing phonetic or IPA text in the app.

If the prayer audio is not already available on your device, the app requests or prepares it, then plays it when ready. Some prayers may be ready immediately, while personalized prayers can take a little longer. During longer waits, the app may offer short classic prayers that can play while the personalized prayer continues preparing.

Personalized audio may need to be created before it can play. The app keeps checking for the finished audio in the background. If generation is temporarily unavailable or your connection drops, you can try again later or play audio that has already been downloaded.

The pronunciation check helps make sure the prayer voice says the name correctly before personalized audio is generated. If the sample does not sound right, you can type how the name sounds. The app keeps the displayed name the same while using the pronunciation correction only for audio generation.

Yes. In Settings, open the child or profile area and update the pronunciation details. Previously generated audio for that profile may be cleared so future prayers use the corrected pronunciation.

Some versions of the app support multiple child profiles, while other versions are configured for a single prayer profile. In multi-child versions, you can select which child or group of children a prayer is for. In single-profile versions, profile management appears in Settings as your own profile rather than child management.

Partly. Prayers and background audio that have already been downloaded can play offline. Creating new personalized prayer audio requires an internet connection.

Yes, when offline audio saving is turned on. Generated prayers and background audio can be cached locally so they replay faster and may work without a connection. You can manage this from Settings under Downloads & Storage.

Go to Settings, then Downloads & Storage. You can delete downloaded background music or downloaded prayer audio. The app can download or generate the audio again later when needed.

If your app version includes more than one voice, you can choose a voice during setup or later in Settings. If only one voice is configured, the app selects it automatically.

Changing the voice may clear previously generated prayer audio from the local cache, because the app needs audio that matches the newly selected voice.

Yes, if background audio options are enabled. Common options may include music, rain, white noise, or no background audio. You can change this in Settings under Background Audio.

Yes. The player includes controls for muting or pausing background audio while the spoken prayer continues. When playback resumes, the app follows your current mute and background audio preferences.

Check your internet connection, try another prayer that has already played before, and confirm the device volume is on. If the issue continues, go to Settings, then Help & Support, and contact support or report a problem.

Classic prayers are short, non-personalized prayers such as traditional bedtime or familiar prayers. They can appear in the prayer library, search results, playlists, and during longer personalized-prayer generation.

Yes. You can add prayers to playlists, create new playlists, reorder tracks, and remove prayers from a playlist. Depending on your plan, some playlist actions may require premium access.

Liked prayers are prayers you have marked with the heart button. In multi-child versions, likes can be specific to the selected child or profile, so the same prayer may be liked for one child and not another.

You can set a daily bedtime prayer reminder in Settings. The app asks for notification permission when you set the reminder. If notifications are disabled, the reminder will not be saved until notifications are allowed.

An account helps keep profiles, preferences, likes, playlists, and subscription status connected to you. The app is designed to work offline-first, but account sync helps keep your prayer library and settings current.

Premium access depends on the current app configuration and subscription offer. It may unlock premium prayers, more bedtime listening tools, playlist features, or other content shown on the upgrade screen.

Open Settings, then Subscription, and choose Restore Purchases. This checks the app store purchase linked to your account and device.

Family Sharing depends on the app store product settings. On Apple platforms, eligible subscriptions or lifetime purchases can be shared only if Family Sharing is enabled for that product in App Store Connect. Google Play does not provide the same store-level subscription sharing behavior.

Account export includes family account data that can be copied from Settings. Generated audio URLs are omitted.

Open Settings, then Account, and choose Delete Account. This removes the account data from the device, including profiles, playlists, likes, reminders, and downloaded generated audio. A parent gate may be required before the action completes.

No. Pronunciation details are used only behind the scenes for audio generation. The app keeps the regular display name separate from pronunciation correction data.

Open Settings, then Help & Support. You can contact support, report a problem, send feedback, or open the help center.
