Would really appreciate it being added into the app. ### 3/5 — New version is only slightly improved *2025-08-07, version 4.1.0* There’s still a lot wrong with this app. The filter settings aren't retained - I have to set them each time. Search doesn't work well. I'd like to search only in a particular podcast but instead get thousands of matches from the whole site. Not usable. The same large ad with a plea to donate appears over and over. To get to older broadcasts I have to literally scroll 30 times on my phone. ### 5/5 — Simple *2025-02-23, version 3.1.0* Simply good! ### 5/5 — Much easier!! *2025-02-12, version 3.1.0* I used to use the website on my phone, but it didn’t always work on long drives because of bad service. But thankfully I can download them for later use in the app! I like how simple it is to search any topic and find any show or video that has discussed it, not just one person. Thank you for this! Wish I’d had it sooner! ### 5/5 — God sent *2025-02-11, version 3.1.0* Such a spiritual and educational site. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great Channel! *2025-02-10, version 3.1.0* Very clear and very biblically based explanations on the questions about the teachings of Catholic Church. ### 5/5 — Informative, well spoken *2025-01-30, version 3.1.0* 👍🙂 ### 3/5 — Dark vs Light mode iPhone *2024-11-29, version 3.1.0* Please fix display of CA app menus on iPhone while user in dark mode. Under display and appearance settings of iPhone, there is a light and dark mode. Text and menus are not showing properly or at all within the CA app settings/menus, if user is in dark mode. ### 5/5 — Fund them!!! *2024-10-28, version 3.1.0* This is a solid Catholic ministry that is extremely helpful in these confusing times. ### 5/5 — Best App for the Truth!! *2024-10-15, version 3.1.0* The Catholic Answers app, for me is the best app I’m constantly listening to “Catholic Answers live” “Shameless Popery” “council of Trent” “Focus” “Sunday Catholic word” “365 days apologetics with Jimmy Akin” this apps help answer so many questions and like Focus and Shameless Popery they go into depth about a topic to really seal up any doubts that you could have. The team at Catholic Answers work very hard to give the correct answers with resources to help bring others to the Truth. If your interested in the Catholic Church and Fullness of Truth then I Highly recommend the “Catholic Answers App” you honestly have nothing to lose it’s free and FULL of great resources and fun learning and listening! Give it a try! ### 4/5 — Filter features don't work *2024-10-04, version 3.1.0* It works great for listening to episodes of the show, but filtering features (sort by date, hide episodes listened to) don't work. I hope that can be fixed. ### 5/5 — Truth *2024-09-28, version 3.1.0* Looking for truth? He can be found here. ✝️ ### 5/5 — Great show *2024-06-06, version 3.1.0* Very intelligent people speaking the truth ### 5/5 — Faith saving! *2024-04-26, version 3.1.0* I learned more through Catholic Answers on my commute than I did any other time in Mass or Catechism or Youth Group… ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-04-11, version 3.1.0* Great overall content and usability ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2024-04-11, version 3.1.0* I ve enjoyed the depth of the science, reason, and Catholic Faith . I’m learning new connections to the Faith Thank you, John ### 5/5 — Thank you thank you thank you! *2024-02-29, version 3.1.0* I don’t think my conversion would have been possible without Catholic Answers and the guys that are on the show. I can’t express how thankful I am for this wonderful resource that has led me to a place where I can receive the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ on every Lords Day! Such a wonderful ministry and surely a blessing to so many people that now worship Christ in the way He intended in the one true Church that Christ started. Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Great stuff! *2024-01-04, version 3.1.0* Very helpful. ### 5/5 — Great for learning more *2023-08-13, version 3.1.0* If you want to learn anything about Catholic faith then use this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NEVER WORKS!!! *2024-11-05, version 3.1.0* I love CA but this app has never worked! Constantly dropping signal and no way to listen to live shows. Absolutely the most frustrating app I have ever tried. Come on guys get it together! I’m on an iPhone 15 and 200mbs high speed internet and it drops like old dial up days. No problems with any other apps just this one and it’s been that way for years on a variety of iPhones and internet connections ### 1/5 — Extremely Frustrating App *2023-07-21, version 3.1.0* It hurts me to write this review because I love Catholic Answers, but this app might be the most frustrating and annoying app I have ever used. Downloaded episodes are impossible to erase - they linger in the “downloaded” section even after swiping to erase. The swiping-to-erase function is also horrible as it needs to be a perfect line. A slightly-diagonal swipe across the screen will not delete the download. It did not used to be like this. It’s been over 4 months since this update was released and over 2 months since I brought it to their attention. ### 1/5 — Why no articles? *2022-05-09, version 3.0.2* I love the shows and the website, but why doesn’t it have the articles that you can read on the website. That’s the most useful part of Catholic Answers for me when defending the faith ### 1/5 — I have iPhone 11 *2020-10-22, version 2.1* The app crashes everytime I open it. I have tried everything. Uninstalled and reinstalled same issue please fix.. ### 1/5 — iOS 14 Now crashes App *2020-09-28, version 2.1* I’m missing Catholic Answers because the app has started crashing after the installation of iOS 14. Deleting and reinstalling doesn’t appear to help. Inquiries to the developer have so far gone unanswered. I’m really hoping someone is working on a solution. ### 1/5 — There are no shoes today *2019-09-14, version 2.1* I just listen to a whole bunch of your shows today! And then I went to your app and wanted to rehear what I missed, I searched in your app and it says there are no shows today!? What do you mean there are no shows today, I just heard shows today? Why do you show shows that are from today and when I touch them you do nothing why!??? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2018-12-18, version 2.0* I have no idea on how to play a show. I thought it would be simple as tapping on it. When I tap on a show it gives me the description of the show but no way to choose to play it. There isn’t a way to download a show for offline use. ### 1/5 — CY TALKS / INTERRUPTS TOO MUCH *2018-08-20, version 2.0* I used to love listening to the show but the new host ( Cy) takes up too much time with his ill attempts at humor while the lines are full of callers. He also takes up lot of air time with his own ‘silly’ ( I’m being charitable here) questions. He has ‘dumbed’ down the show considerably. Please just let the speakers and callers interact and DONT INTERRUPT and WASTE SO MUCH TIME. ### 1/5 — Love the show, hate the app *2018-02-08, version 1.4* My one star is for the functionality of the app, NOT the content of the show. The app is glitchy, inconsistent, and downright useless most of the time. For all that CA does well in new media, this is a frustrating and disappointing product. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2017-11-01, version 1.4* Am I doing something wrong? Downloaded shows don’t play. When I try to listen live it says please select a show. I usually just listen via the site, but this would be more convenient. Just can’t get anything on this app to work. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling to no avail. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A favorite *2026-08-01, version 4.3.4* Always interesting , informative. A must for those searching for truth ### 5/5 — Catholic answers *2026-07-17, version 4.3.4* Catholic Answers is great ### 5/5 — Absolutely wonderful *2026-06-10, version 4.3.0* I love Catholic answers and all of their apologists but I especially enjoy Jimmy because of the way he explains everything in a way that just about anybody could understand. ### 5/5 — Catholic answers *2026-06-09, version 4.3.0* I Love Catholic Answers ### 5/5 — Learning tool *2026-06-08, version 4.3.0* This is a great tool to learn a ton of information about your questions about your own faith or about others’. You can even call in and have a chat with an apologist! Great ministry to grow deeper in wisdom and with God. ### 5/5 — Catholic Answers has helped me *2025-12-18, version 4.2.2* Catholic Answers has been such a gift to my faith life. I’m so grateful for the catechesis it has given me. ### 5/5 — Extremely important ministry *2025-07-11, version 3.1.0* Catholic Answers played an essential role in my conversion from Evangelicalism to Catholicism. It introduced me to the countless authors, theologians, and saints who walked me out of the complexus of denominations into the single beacon of Truth: the Holy Church. My family and I will always be indebted to Catholic Answers for its faithfulness in defending the faith. ### 5/5 — My faith journey. *2025-06-19, version 3.1.0* This app helped me to believe in Jesus. I went from having no religion to attending mass often. I now enjoy going to Catholic Church on Sunday and daily worship during the week. I look forward to getting my sacraments and being baptized for the first time. ### 5/5 — Catholic answers is great *2025-04-02, version 3.1.0* May God Bless everyone who works for Catholic answers! Very fine program that answers questions from people of all backgrounds with charity and kindness. ### 5/5 — Great app to reinforce and fortify you Holy Catholic Faith. *2025-02-23, version 3.1.0* These guys are just unbelievable! To really know and love the person of Jesus Christ and the one true Church that he founded, is certainly no small gift. If you want your black belt in Catholicism this is where you can find the genuine teachings of the Church. So..
