2. Description of the App
2.1 Core Functionality
BlessUp is a faith-based daily prayer application that provides the following services:
- Daily Prayer Flow: Guided prayer sessions consisting of a morning prayer, daily scripture reading, and gratitude reflection.
- App Shielding: Integration with Apple's Screen Time API and Family Controls framework to temporarily restrict access to user-selected applications until the daily prayer flow has been completed.
- Streak Tracking: Tracking and display of consecutive daily prayer completion, including milestones and historical data.
- Scripture Library: Curated collection of Bible verses organized by category, delivered through daily rotation.
- Widgets: Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets displaying streak data, daily verses, and prayer status.
- Local Notifications: Customizable daily prayer reminders and periodic progress summaries.
2.2 Screen Time and App Shielding
The App uses Apple's Screen Time API, Family Controls framework, Device Activity framework, and Managed Settings framework to provide app-shielding functionality. By granting Screen Time permissions, you authorize the App to:
- Apply shields to applications and application categories that you have selected;
- Remove shields upon successful completion of your daily prayer flow;
- Reset shields daily at midnight via a Device Activity Monitor extension;
- Display a custom shield interface with a prompt to begin your daily prayer.
You understand and acknowledge that this functionality requires explicit authorization through Apple's Screen Time permission system and that you may revoke this authorization at any time through your device's Settings > Screen Time > BlessUp.
2.3 No Guarantee of Results
The App is designed to encourage and support daily prayer habits. We do not guarantee any specific spiritual, emotional, psychological, or behavioral outcomes. The App is not a substitute for professional counseling, therapy, or medical treatment. References to research studies within the App are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute medical or psychological advice.
3. Subscriptions and In-App Purchases

The App may offer the following auto-renewable subscription plans, which unlock premium features:
- Weekly Plan: $9.99 per week, with a 3-day free trial for first-time subscribers.
- Yearly Plan: $69.99 per year (equivalent to approximately $1.35 per week).
Subscription prices are in United States Dollars (USD). Prices in other currencies will be determined by Apple based on current exchange rates and local pricing conventions. Pricing is subject to change, and any changes will be communicated in accordance with applicable law and Apple's policies.

All payments are processed exclusively through Apple's App Store payment system. BlessUp does not collect, process, store, or have access to your payment information, credit card details, bank account information, or Apple ID credentials.
3.4 Free Trials
We may offer free trial periods for certain subscription plans. If a free trial is offered, you will not be charged during the trial period. At the end of the free trial period, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the applicable rate unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial expires.
Any unused portion of a free trial period will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription to the same or a different plan.
Free trial eligibility is determined by Apple and is generally limited to one free trial per Apple ID per subscription group.

You may cancel your subscription at any time. To cancel, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions on your Apple device, select BlessUp, and tap "Cancel Subscription." Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period. You will continue to have access to premium features until the end of the period for which you have already paid.
