It’s keeping me grounded when the busyness of life can seem overwhelming. I share these quotes with friends to try and get them closer to God. It would be great to have the option share them by text. ### 4/5 — 365 days with Padre Pio *2023-09-11, version 1.1.38* Great free app except for the ads. ### 4/5 — Wonderful. *2023-02-17, version 1.1.33* The St Pio app is a wonderful app when you are looking for Catholic prayers and dont want to fumble through several other apps or the Missal. ### 4/5 — Very good *2023-02-13, version 1.1.33* The ads are really small and very unobtrusive. The fee to remove them is very reasonable at $0.99 for a month. I’m happy to see that it’s not more as that gets ridiculous when you have several apps using the subscription model. The content is also very good to have handy and I enjoy the daily (custom timed) quote notifications. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your concern regarding the ads subscriptions. Due to the nature of maintaining the application and the server we felt this was the right choice. ### 5/5 — Man of miracles *2022-05-19, version 1.1.33* I get such strong hope from Padre Pio Love this Saint. Love this app. ### 3/5 — 5 star app; 3 stars for Ad process *2022-05-16* Really love the app but why is the only option to remove ads a monthly subscription? Why not a one time sum to remove ads like other apps? **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your concearn regarding the ads subscriptions. Due to the nature of maintaining the application and the server we felt this was the right choice. ### 5/5 — Love the app! *2022-04-14, version 1.1.33* Thank you and God Bless ### 5/5 — Eccellente! *2022-02-02, version 1.1.29* Ottimo modo per conoscere un grande santo, ed amico! ### 5/5 — Great Padre app! *2022-01-30, version 1.1.29* I really enjoy the daily quotes & events of this great saint, God bless!!!! ### 5/5 — Padre Pio 365 days *2022-01-12, version 1.1.29* almost completely wonderful ### 5/5 — I like this, my soul needs this! *2021-12-18* I love getting a little message from St Padre Pio! It’s like a little kiss for my soul every day! Thank you! ### 3/5 — Periodicamente inizia a Crashare *2021-11-23, version 1.1.29* Purtroppo spesso periodicamente si chiude da sola dopo l’apertura. Un vero peccato. È utile per capire chi fosse San Pio e il suo pensiero, i suoi insegnamenti. Per questo crash gli do tre stelle. Magari aggiornatela. Saluti ### 5/5 — Stay With Me Lord *2021-11-01* This is my favorite prayer after Communion. I deliberately don’t memorize it . I read it very slowly and absorb every word. This app is full of beautiful prayers and thoughts from Padre . Pio. It is great to jump start a bad day and draws me closer into the presence of God. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2021-09-05, version 1.1.29* Best App ever!!!!! ### 5/5 — Best uplifting app!! *2021-07-27* “Let’s see what St. padre Pio has to say for today” each new day brings an uplifting experience and encouragement for all walks of life. Highly recommend!!! ### 4/5 — Belle le notifiche quotidiane *2021-07-15, version 1.1.29* Da migliorare per certo, però attivare le notifiche quotidiane la considero una buona idea. La presenza quotidiana, del pensiero di un tal santo, è piacevole, un balsamo per lo Spirito. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Contains pornography *2026-03-20, version 1.1.40* This app promotes pornography they allow advertising for pornography ### 1/5 — Constant ads *2025-04-29, version 1.1.39* Just downloaded it and the very first thing is an ad popped up and I can’t remove it!! I’m removing this from my phone!! ### 1/5 — Abbonamento fasullo *2022-04-02, version 1.1.33* Nonostante ho pagato l’abbonamento la pubblictà continua ad aprire fastidiosi popup e banner. Ovviamente disdetto. Ripristinando i banner e i popup non appaiono finchè non richiudo l’app ma tornano inesorabili all’apertura successiva dell’app Oggi 2/4 il problema sembra essere risolto, se così fosse inviterei i proprietari dell’app a controllare il regolare funzionamento dopo ogni aggiornamento che Apple fa installare. ### 1/5 — App fatta bene ma si blocca *2021-03-17, version 1.1.22* Su iPhone si blocca!! ### 1/5 — One thing missing... *2020-03-13* I wrote a first review a while ago (see below) pleading for the developers to get rid of the ads (I’m even willing to pay for the app to help make this happen). I initially gave it 4 stars, but at this point I am SO SICK of the ads that i have stopped using the app. And what a pity! This is such a wonderful app but is sadly ruined by the advertisements. Who wants to have to be courted by THINGS and BUYING when you just want to pray? This leads me to believe that the developers are more interested in a daily flow of money from advertisers than in the spiritual teachings of St. Padre Pio. I regretfully will no longer be using this app or recommending it to anyone else. (Previous review)... I love this app and would have given it 5 stars, but I withheld one star because there is no option to pay a little more and get rid of ads. I love Padre Pio and all the advertising does a disservice to him and all his words. If the developer will create the option of NO ADS I will come back and give 5 stars. I wrote to the developer about this but never heard back from them. Please please consider this option. I would definitely pay more for the app. God bless you 🙏🏽 **Developer response:** We apologise for the tense situation that the interstitial may have created, but advertising helps us to maintain the application, even if in a very small way. We are in the process to add the ability to let users purchase a free ads version of it. It should be ready before the end of this summer. Kindest regards ### 1/5 — Does not work! *2017-06-03* App does not work. ### 1/5 — Problema *2017-01-19, version 1.1.4* Purtroppo la app, dopo qualche secondo dall'apertura, si chiude. Speriamo si tratti di un problema risolvibile. ### 1/5 — Buona idea, ma troppa pubblicità! *2016-07-24, version 1.1.2* Buona idea, buona app, ma veramente troppa pubblicità! Distrae e dà fastidio su app con questo tipo di contenuti! Sarebbe perfetta se ci fosse la possibilità di rimuoverla, anche a pagamento. Grazie ### 2/5 — Please provide ad free! *2020-04-17* I thought I’d like this app and probably would have except for the ads! I wanted to read the prayers, but first thing that popped up was an ad for a slot machine game! Seriously? Gambling game ads? I’m dumping the app and will maybe look at it later to see if an ad free version is available. For now, nope! **Developer response:** We are in the process to add the ability to let users purchase a free ads version of it. It should be ready before the end of this summer. Kindest regards ### 3/5 — Troppa pubblicità’ *2022-05-23, version 1.1.33* Troppa pubblicità. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Il mio Santo protettore *2025-08-09, version 1.1.40* E’il mio viatico quotidiano. ### 5/5 — Uplifting *2025-03-26* When I see my notification for a message from Padre, I instantly smile.

Let's continue to pray together daily for a better future 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Un passo ogni giorno *2023-10-10, version 1.1.39* Ho configurato che ogni mattina alle 8.30 ricevo la notifica di un messaggio da parte dell’app. Il pensiero che mi è necessario di Padre Pio arriva sempre al momento giusto indicandomi quello di cui ho bisogno per vivere la giornata al meglio che si può confidando sempre di più in Dio. Che sia sempre Benedetto. Grazie di tutto. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-06-23, version 1.1.33* Perfect to fire some shots to the cosmo during a busy day. Catholic life ### 5/5 — Love *2023-05-10* The love and mercy shared by Saint Padre Pio is a beautiful mystery through our Lord Jesus Christ! His devotion to the Lord is beyond words. Our devotion to have him intercede for us is rewarding beyond words. Continue to pray for us and co to use to intercede for us. We ask in Jesus name. Amen! **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻 Let's together spread the protection and love of our beloved Saint Pio in this world. ### 5/5 — Padre Pio APP *2022-09-19, version 1.1.33* Taking a few minutes of my day to pray and read prayers or quotes from St. Pio remind me of my priorities.
