Wonderful prayer studies

I am really enjoying the ascension app. I have the hallow app, which I use every day. My church is offering a prayer study on Mary and I could not attend all the classes but I was told that the ascension app has the course! I now can watch the videos that go with the class at home and attend class when I can. Thank you!!!!

A Great Way to Start the Day

This is a wonderful app and a great way to start your day. I really enjoy taking a few minutes each morning to read, reflect, and focus on my faith before everything gets busy. It’s easy to use, well put together, and has become something I genuinely look forward to. Highly recommend it.

Video issues. Great content.

Content is stellar. However for a paid subscription and an app at this level of development, the way videos play really needs to be fixed. It doesn’t tap into iOS controls. Meaning it won’t do Picture in Picture if you need to navigate away for a minute. Worse, the play/ pause can’t be triggered with an AirPod or similar. Meaning if I’m watching a video with Fr. Columba and I pause the video with an AirPod (this does work, interestingly) and then restart the video with the AirPod, Fr Columba sounds an awful lot like Jimi Hendrix or Fr. Mike depending on if I was last in my Music or Podcast app—- Even when Fr. Columba is still on screen. This is the only video app I’ve encountered that does this. I often have to force close the app between videos, videos stop and won’t start again for no apparent reason, and if you watch a few seconds of a video, it shows up with a check mark as entirely played. I’m using the newest pro iPhone with fully up to date iOS.
Please fix!
Update: issues persist!

Great App

This app has everything you need from the Holy Bible to the Catechism and even audio Rosaries. My only complaint is the new front page design with the cartoonish logos for the daily tasks. The original design was much better.

Inspirational

As I make my way back to the Church, the Ascension App and resources have been useful in my journey. The Bible in a Year Podcast and the Great Adventure Bible have been inspirational and provide an excellent guide through Salvation History. Love Father Mike!

Jim McGrath

The Ascension app, is a wonderful resource to grow closer and closer to Almighty God. When using the Ascension app my wife Mary and I very often feel as if Jesus and Mother Mary are together with us. The profound effect the app has had on our life certainly is the result of the Holy Spirit. Thank you, you to everyone at Ascension, Mary and Jim🥰😘 FYI, we both have the app. and have shared our story with family and friends who also have come to love the app.

Ascension App

I love, love, love Ascension! It’s so good and helps me with bettering my prayer life and getting a deeper relationship with God!

Excellent app

This app is great. Good reflections on the readings. The one thing I would like to see, is to update the bible from NAB to NABRE. The update came out 15 years ago. I have no idea why this has not happened.

Best app I’ve ever used!!!!

Best app I’ve ever used!!!! Highly recommend this. I was so lost before and this one has everything!

Subscription

Amazing app, subscription can be a bit annoying tho

Further (update to review)- I have to force close the app between most videos, videos stop and won’t start again for no apparent reason, and if you watch a few seconds of a video, it shows up with a check mark as entirely played. I’m using the newest pro iPhone with fully up to date iOS.

Ascension Catholic Bible

Definitely recommend this app 100% I love it. Easy to use and has many options to do different things. Love the Bible in a year and the way it’s explained. So worth getting it.

Best Hidden Rosaries

Great app but the do really stupid things with it sometimes.

Like now evidently requiring a decoder ring to find rosaries

The Best

The Bible in a Year and Father Mike have really brought goodness into my life. Thank you!

Great for lots of reasons

I enjoy this app because it has the daily readings, Bible in a Year, Catechism in a year and several religious books. And the app is free! I do donate each month because I know it’s not free to produce, but I can can make that donation according to my means. Also there are courses we have used in our church group for discussion. It’s a great app!

On the path

I use this app everyday. It helps me stay focused on the things that really matter, God, family, integrity, and my fellow human beings.

It was good for a couple years

The app is not worth it. My BIAY was coming up now all of a sudden it’s a big hassle to find the right day. I will not renew. Use the free versions they work better.

LOVE this App

This app offers a wide selection of biblical topics. I’m going through the Bible in a Year for the second time and also have a deeper understanding of the Mass and Rosary. The studies of individual Bible books are also excellent. Highly recommended!

Most recent update.

not a fan of the new update.. with regards to the home screen.. i miss the boxes where one can check off the readings for the day… the thumbnails are dry… should have kept it how it was.. also the limited settings is frustrating… doesn’t show what translation one is reading from only in the daily readings does it show.
