  • Absolutely Awesome!

    The Formed app is absolutely awesome! Anyone even Remotely interested in deepening their understanding of God: who He is and what He is, and who and what we are in relation to Him, simply must use this app. Chalked full of videos, movies, books, audio books, and awesome high-production- value programs, this app is the gateway to understanding everything that truly matters. Using Formed has change my life and put me on a trajectory towards the arms of our Lord! I share this app with everyone I meet! You cannot love what you do not know, and it’s time that you got to know God. I beg you to download and use this app! You can thank me later when we meet in Heaven. God bless you!

  • The Best Religious Explanations I’ve Ever Heard

    I started watching “The Search” as a part of the RCIA program I was going through. Coming from a borderline anti-Catholic/anti-organized religion household, I knew answering my questions was going to be a tall order. My jaw dropped when I started the series. Every question I ever had - every misunderstanding - every twinge of discomfort - was addressed in a unique quay that spoke to me. I can’t tell you what it’s meant to me knowing what the real story is vs. what I’d been told second hand from friends, family, and the media. I never thought it would be possible to be where I am now in my spiritual journey…and I am so grateful.

  • Great way of learning and answering the questions about the Catholic faith !

    I got to use this app through my parish recommendation . Many parishes are giving the access to their parishioners for free and having a great turn out in increasing the knowledge of our rich Catholic faith . There is something for everyone - from small children to seniors . You can access great courses which go deep in many different and gray areas of our spirituality. As a mother of 7 children from 5 to young adults I was looking for something like that to keep up with the challenges of current society , making sure we all keep up with our relationship with God. I strongly recommend Formed! Andrea NC

  • Formed

    Excellent programming. I am learning more about my faith by experts who are dedicated to teach us the truth with love. The programming ranges from many topics and the best part is that I can listen to any show via my cell phone while driving or TV while I am home cooking or cleaning. I can view any show as many times as I want, I love that! I am learning how to read the Bible and understand the New Testament through the Old Testament. We all need to learn more about our faith and how to live it because ultimately we all have to answer to God when we die whether rich or poor whether a believer or not. May God bless all of you abundantly. Thank you to whomever decided to start FORMED.

  • Formed is a Blessing

    A few years back my parish subscribed to Formed and I was blessed to get the app. Unfortunately my parish no longer subscribes and getting the app on my own is quite expensive. I want to encourage anyone who can get the app through their parish to do so. It is a wonderful tool to use in your spiritual life to get closer to God and to grow in your faith. I miss it terribly but I am thankful Formed still allows me to use a few of its features for free although most of it is locked. Perhaps someday my parish will offer it again. In the meantime I am thankful for the time I was able to fully use the app. It was a blessing for me. God bless you all.

  • Benjamin Cello alone is worth the effort!

    If you have a toddler, the show Benjamin Cello is excellent. It is a mix of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood (great) with Barney (overdone kid acting-ugh) but the preschool set just laps it up. This is a Grammy winning musical family who wrote original, incredible songs good enough for an adult audience. Also, Brother Joseph in the episode “overcome evil with good” is the equivalent of having Pavarotti on PBS kids. Whoa.

    Everything else on Formed is hit or miss—some is really hokey quality but has a nice cover image and some is garbage cover and incredible quality. Just hit play on everything, and give it 3 minutes. Some are hidden treasures.

    Generally pretty good, solid Catholic teaching. The app rarely crashes, and is worth your time (and the hassle of the email signup process). Considering most users aren’t paying for it, but signed up through their church, it’s all you could ask and more.

  • The best investment our parish has made.

    I’m the parish secretary at a small Catholic Church in rural mid-Missouri. I suggested to our priest that we subscribe to Formed for our parishioners because I had been subscribing to Formed as an individual for a year and really enjoyed it. Since we purchased Formed for the parish we have used it for marriage prep, in our PSR classes, in our Catholic school and printed suggestions for family movie nights in our bulletin. We consider it money well invested. I personally like to listen to documentaries or audiobooks in the evening before bedtime. I pray that many more parishes are able to offer this wonderful tool to their congregations.

  • Inflame My Heart

    By providing Catholic content for my little parish and all the people of the world, I can’t even start to express gratitude. I thank the Lord Almighty that He made clothes from skins for our first parents and for the incredible tools He has made for us. Genesis 3:20 Did they really think they would stay warm with fig leaves? One of His little living stones: A Swanson
    Update: I am using media from Formed with my little oratories in Leavenworth Kansas. Our Good Shepherd has led me inside 4 of the 6 prisons in this county. I think prisoners and their families are the poorest of the poor in my neighborhood. Your good work helps keep the fire of faith burning in our hearts! I’m yours in the Lamb, Andrew

  • Best catholic resource.

    For a couple of years I had been looking for resources to deepen in the knowledge about Catholicism and to grow in my faith. About four months ago I came across Formed and have not been able to put it down. I have done the Bible studies of the gospel according to Matthew and Mark which I loved. Dr Gray and other faculty are fantastic sharing his knowledge of old and New Testament, their experiences in the Holy land the linguistic nuances. Formed has content to educate and prepare for the celebrations of the church, bios of many saints, the meaning of the sacraments, etc. It has been a great resource and it get updated everyday with new content! Highly recommended!
