  • Please, no more review prompts

    The only bad thing about this app is every once in awhile, even though you have submitted a star review, they want you to write a review. So it'll open up the App Store, and bring up the Write a Review screen, and you can hit cancel, then close the App Store app, and get back to your reading...or you can write a review about how annoying having to write a review is, in the hopes that I'll never be prompted to write another review about this great app...also, apparently every possible nickname you can think of for your review is taken

  • Incredible

    This app is a game changer. Even when I’m not using it to read different patristic meditations on scripture, it is my go-to Bible app because it’s so easy to navigate. More importantly it actually blows my mind that this resource is free, and I do not take that for granted. I think if they charged a pretty hefty subscription fee then that would be well warranted. (Don’t do that though! I can’t afford it! Lol.) The app makes it so easy to learn about scripture from the most trusted of resources, the writings of the Church Fathers. I recommend Catena to everyone I know. I think it’s my favorite app ever.

  • The Bible is useless unless…

    The Bible is useless by itself. Thats why we have over 30 thousand different Protestant denominations! Too many interpretations! The fathers and doctors produced thousands of times of pages more than the Bible, explaining the God inspired interpretation of mostly every verse. That’s why it took 400 years after Jesus to produce the first Bible. All the written interpretations came with it! This is very compelling!! I love this very much. Thank you.
