How Better Human is different

Watching shows or hearing Bible stories

Minno is a streaming service. Kids choose from Christian shows and series, much like a children's TV channel. Better Human's films are Bible stories, 31 of them, painted and read aloud with words to follow. Each ends with what it teaches and a short prayer, and they are grouped by lesson, from being brave to thankful hearts. If your goal is wholesome screen time, Minno has far more to watch. If you want to walk through the Bible's stories with your child, Better Human is built for that.

Hands-on play

Minno is mostly for watching. Better Human adds play. A crayon coloring book has 6 pages from the stories, and the crayon stays inside the shape it starts in, so little hands color neatly. A finished page can be shared as a card with your child's name on it. Catch the Blessings is a 9-stage game set in places from the Bible, like the Garden of Eden and the Sea of Galilee, and your angel explains each stage out loud.

Bedtime

Better Human has an optional Story time reminder that comes at the hour you choose. The painted story films are read aloud in calm voices, and each one ends with a short prayer, which makes for a simple bedtime routine that closes the day with Scripture. Minno can be part of the evening too, with shows you watch together before bed. If you want bedtime to end with a short Bible story and a prayer, Better Human is made for that moment. See Bible stories for kids.
