  • LOVE THIS APP

    I really like the features of this app especially the fact that I can switch the languages. One suggestion I have is to add verse of the day & enable the audible features in it. This would really make it a game changes for hearing impairs persons. Thank you & God bless!
  • Fantastic resource

    For the eighteen months, I’ve told anyone who would listen about Catena. It’s an excellent resource. It’s not perfect, but it’s been continually improved, and it makes texts accessible that would be otherwise impossible to sort through.
  • Great App. Clergy videos?

    This app is a true gem but recently with the newest update all the lecture videos from the clergy went away. There was quite a large collection and they were some of the best patristic analysis I’ve ever seen. Just wish it would come back or there was another venue to watch them.
  • Thanks from a Catholic Seminarian

    This app is simply fantastic. No frills, straight to the guts of the matter from patristic sources and solid commentaries (ala Lapide). Thank you for putting together something that makes reading scripture and commentaries easy.

    May God continue to bless your good work.
  • God Bless You!❤️❤️❤️

    Thank you so much for creating this app!
  • Reliable interpretation of Scripture as taught in Continuity

    This is a wonderful app to see how the early church fathers interpreted the Sacred Scriptures.

    The name of the app means “chain”. It explains true meaning to Scriptures not found since after the Reformation happened. Instead did depending on any “Johnny-come-lately” Contemporary Pastor’s “personal interpretation”, learn how the Truth was interpreted through the Apostles directly to their Successors, in continuity: through an unbroken chain.

  • What an amazing resource!

    I don't often get excited about a new app... But when do, it's because someone combined a bible app with commentaries from the early church fathers in an aesthetically pleasing and easy-to-use interface.
  • Problems starting app

    My favourite resource for the Bible on mobile, fantastic features including the ability to read church fathers commentaries on any verse with a few simple clicks. However, since the last update I’m unable to start the app, i just get a white screen. I don’t want to reinstall because that would mean losing all of my highlighted verses and notes. Please fix and maybe make it possible to have this data stored separately from the application itself. Regardless 5/5 stars I look forward to using it in the future.

  • Awesome opportunity and convenient

    To have the Fathers of the Church so at my fingertips for family and night prayer each line of scripture ! It’s like relearning Everything I thought I knew about scripture and what I thought we’re good translations in the past that I have now see the difference so immensely and the Douay Rheims. Been life changing

  • Great Bible app!

    Less features than uversion and I appreciate that! I don’t want my Bible app to be a social network. I was to be able to download multiple version and have a audio format. The cherry on top would be an inclusion of the “open dyslexic” font but I look forward to this being added. Thank you for marking this app, it is truly the work of the Church.
