User Reviews

Users praise the app as a convenient, well-organized tool for teaching and on-the-go study, but pricing behind a paywall, stability problems, and accessibility gaps limit its usefulness for some users.
Pros
  • Convenient, easy-to-navigate mobile interface that makes the catechism quick to access on the go.
  • Excellent for teaching and family study; useful in confirmation classes.
  • Well-organized, faithful presentation of Luther's Small Catechism with quick access to the chief parts.
  • Free portions are valuable; overall helpful resource that supports learning and understanding Scripture.
Cons
  • Pricing/paywall: explanations and deeper content require payment, which many reviewers view as costly or surprising.
  • Stability issues: frequent crashes and launching problems on various devices (iPhone/iPad/iPod).
  • Accessibility and usability gaps: font-size controls sometimes ineffective and requests for features like dark mode.

CPH makes plenty of money and the cost to maintain something like this is incredibly small all things considered. That you’d have any cost associated with this at all for the explanations is pretty wicked. If you want to charge for extensive commentaries on things etc whatever but this is the most basic catechism and an essential tool for bringing people to the faith.

This is a great resource for any Christian. Educated in Lutheran elementary school (I still have my Living in Christ book), a confirmed “cradle Lutheran”, I took LSC for granted. As with many matters of the faith, I can now appreciate at my advanced age more deeply what and how this Catechism teaches. It clarifies my understanding of Scripture and strengthens my witness to Christ. The app is convenient and easy to navigate. A real blessing!

I recommend this app to all me confirmation kids but if the app included memorization aids, I’d require all my confirmation kids to get it.
