User Reviews

Users love the app for its rich Catholic content, Bible-in-a-Year plan, Catechism access, and Fr. Mike Schmitz materials, plus a clean UI and helpful Lent features. However, many reviews cite stability issues, login problems, a rosary bug, and unreliable offline access, along with pricing concerns. Improving performance, restoring note-taking/scrolling, fixing login and rosary bugs, and offline reliability would make the app more consistent while preserving its strong devotional content.

Pros

Useful features like Bible in a Year, reading plans, Catechism access, and podcasts.

Cons

Frequent crashes and overall performance problems (slowdowns, instability).

Rosary in a Year feature bug (gets stuck on a day, cannot close).

Subscription pricing concerns and desire for more free content; some features affected by updates (notes/scrolling).

dear developers, why is the daily meditation on homepage already for premium users only? It was essential for reflecting w my daily readings and it's the main reason i was using this app because other catholic apps don't have it. i hope you reconsider for the sake of users who cannot pay 😢
