Amazing app
This is such a great app, and it is too bad it does get more attention. Admittedly I use it mostly for the sleep stories but there is so much good stuff here. And it is free! It is great to have all the meditations and they are well done. I also like the audio of the daily readings and the way you are prompted to listen to what God is saying to you through them. I don’t love the dramatized productions, they just aren’t my cup of tea, but love that they are offered here. I am still discovering some of the content even though I have been using it for months. Thanks for constantly adding new meditations and sleep stories. One thing I would love is if the sleep stories didn’t have the same exact breathing reminders etc at the beginning and if that part could be slowed down without having to slow the audio. Some of them seem too rote and too fast to really be useful for calming the mind. The older ones were all different , which I appreciated. I do wish they were a little less fictionalized but l understand what they are trying to do. Great work and thank you for offering it for free!!Show lessBertuccigirl

Thank you for bringing to our world the Word of God in this high tech generation. My nephew whom I’m visiting has started reading the Bible and he asked me to join him in his Bible reading in the evening. We share our personal spiritual journey and this Amen app I will share with him. I too have gained in a more reflective way on what our Lord wants me to learn from Him. At times I still am not sure what God’s message to me and so I pray for His grace to grant me the gift of discernment and grant me His light of understanding. Every time I wake up in the early hours - 3 or 4AM - I think of Jesus and try to listen to Him in silence. I replay the gospel several times and each time a new meaning comes to light. May God continue to bless you to reach more people in these troubled times we live in. In Jesus Name dear Father, save us and the whole world. 🙏Show lessCLPShe

Thank you!! Blessings 😇Used to be a wonderful app!
I have been using the Amen app since it was released. I absolutely loved it and recommended it to many other Catholics. However recently, apparently after some design changes, I’ve found it very difficult and frustrating to use. The app allows my device to time out and go to sleep in the middle of a recording. I’m forced to focus on keeping the device from going to sleep instead of focusing on the app content. I brought this issue to the attention of the developers and was told that I should change the global device settings for going to sleep to give the app more time to play its content. Well that seems like the tail (an app) wagging the dog (global setting for the device). The content length varies and to completely eliminate the issue for all possible content lengths it would require disabling the battery saving feature. No other content playing app I’ve ever encountered has allowed my device to go to sleep while it was playing content. Maybe I’m too sheltered or too easily distracted, but the usefulness of the app to me has vanished. I’m currently looking for a substitute. It was wonderful while it lasted. Thank you for that!Show lessKnarf123456

UPDATED 2/22/24: Oh goodness, I am so sorry to hear you are disappointed in Amen and the time-out feature for sleep stories. We are an audio app, without videos, only still artwork so most people do not look at the app once the audio starts playing. I will share your feedback with the Amen team. Again, I do apologize and am sorry to see you go. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and providing us with a five-star review. We love sharing God's word and being part of your walk with Him! Blessings! 🙌Amazing Free Catholic App
I would definitely recommend this Catholic App. It has everything a Catholic needs to know and grow in their faith. Most importantly, it’s authentically Catholic… It’s amazing that it is free, but I am considering supporting this App in the new year.Ryn139

We are pleased to hear you enjoy our free Catholic audio app. Blessings from our team to you! 😇Knowledge, Inspiration, and Peace
First, the practical…Amen app is easy to use. I’m a technology idiot and it took me no time to learn how to use this app. I plan to share it with the young children in my family so they can use it too. The content of Amen has helped me to fill in the knowledge gaps from my poor Catholic formation. For example, I knew very little about Advent until I listened to the short talks by Dr. Tim Grey. Now, I can properly participate in Advent and teach my god children about the season too. The radio plays are wonderful! They teach about the lives of the saints in a way that inspires me to follow their examples. The productions are very well done making them educational and entertaining. Finally, the prayers, meditations, and reflections have helped me deepen my prayer life giving me more peace. Thank you Augustine Institute!Show lessC Marshall Turner
Great Addition to My Prayer Life
While I do not use all that is available at Amen, what I’ve sampled and what I use on a regular basis brings me great peace. I’m frequently praying in the Perpetual Adoration Chapel where I live. When I’m on a shift at a low traffic time, like right now a 5:00 am on a Sunday, I especially enjoy praying by singing along with the Divine Mercy Chaplet by Handmaiden music. It is very singable, whereas the one on the EWTN App is not for me, and the music is both tender and majestic. I would highly recommend other Catholics to use this App. We are blessed to have several truly excellent Apps to facilitate, encourage, and stimulate one’s prayer life along with Holy Scripture, liturgically based prayers and other spiritual aids. I used to ponder my five “desert island books” should I ever be stranded with only my company and five books. I would ponder now which spiritual Apps would I want if I were stranded and just providentially had internet. The Amen App would make my “desert island Apps” list.Show lessGrammyYiaYia

Excellent for a busy mom
This Amen app has been a real blessing for me as a busy mom. It helps me to take a few minutes out to focus on God, and helps me to pray throughout the day. I would like to suggest an added feature- the ability to set a playlist! For example, every morning I like to pray the Morning Offering followed by the daily readings, and then the next recording in whatever series I am currently listening to. It would be so lovely if I could set it up for them to play after each other, rather than have to pick my phone up in between each.Show lessscdumouchelle
