### 4/5 — Wish it included their patronage

*2026-08-21*

Overall, I love the app. I’m not even a great Catholic anymore, but I still love the saints and learning about them. I’m deeply disappointed, though, that the information on the saints doesn’t include what the saint is a patron of (ie, patron of lost objects, patron of machinists, etc…)

### 4/5 — “Add Feasts to Calendar” button and email

*2026-04-25*

I do think that this is a nice app, it is set to the traditional calendar rather than the Novus Ordo which is nice sometimes. So a few years ago I decided to add the saints to my phone calendar, but instead of creating a new folder for them or letting me choose where they would be added they were automatically added on to the calendar that my entire family uses instead of just me (as they attend a NO parish and some Sunday feasts don’t align) I can’t get rid of them being added and I can’t seem to email anyone via the app about how to stop future dates from being added. Luckily I’ve gotten it to just be on Sundays now instead of every day but it’s frustrating that I can’t seem to contact anyone regarding this. Once again good app very informative on the saints, but because of the lack of contact availability I’m doing 4/5 stars

### 3/5 — Review

*2026-01-22*

Wonderful app but disappointing that so much of it is locked unless a fee is paid

### 4/5 — Useful

*2026-01-20*

Short and to the point.

### 2/5 — Links Don’t Work, Widget Doesn’t Work

*2025-11-02*

I paid for the app and the extra license, but the links to Contact > Email don’t work and they don’t respond on Instagram. I wanted to use the widget, but it is blank.

### 3/5 — Free Push notifications

*2025-07-01*

This app used to give me free Push notifications on the day of a saint and now it hasn’t done it for me in a long time :( I hope the app developers can fix this soon.

### 3/5 — Not free

*2024-06-11*

Why say it’s free then when you go to the app and want to look up a saint, it is 3.99 a month? Idk. I was so looking forward to having an app that could let me draw closer to the saints and our Savior but apparently this isn’t it…

### 2/5 — i love but

*2024-06-04*

so i got this app to use during adoration and to read about different saints but then k realized i had to pay to see the past and future ones?!?!? no thanks . i had this app last year and i guess they made changes because from what i rember, you didn’t have to pay to see anything. i’m not paying $24 a year for this

### 3/5 — Corpus Christi

*2023-06-11*

In my Diocese & in much of the US, THIS FEAST IS CELEBRATED ON 3rd Sunday after Pentecost.  Your Calendar omits~ any mention of this.  ~so reading on the traditional day of the feast & on the Sunday do not fit my life & many of those Catholics living in the United States,

### 1/5 — Nothing for Free

*2023-06-03, version 2.6.0*

No good features for free, subscription model

### 1/5 — Have to Pay for Access to Saints

*2023-04-30*

The app is easy enough to navigate, but you have to pay (monthly!) for access to the saints which is disappointing as it is the primary reason I downloaded the app. “Saints Calendar” is a misleading title; should be “Catholic Calendar” or the like.

### 1/5 — No longer exists

*2026-02-22*

The webpage and support page goes to a GoDaddy site meaning this app does not exist. Now I am unable to u subscribe from the calendar and it’s annoying reminder that goes off while I’m in church

### 1/5 — Should be a free app

*2025-08-24*

I understand the need to keep an app running or whatever it may take to keep it running, however as a Christian app, it should not require to pay for the use of things anyone could get online. This isn’t Catholic. This is a Catholic app stuck in Jewish ways. If you needed to raise money, you could use ads instead.

### 1/5 — You have to pay to see it

*2025-05-16*

I could open the app the first day and read a nice description of the Saint of the Day. Now everything is locked and I have to subscribe to see anything. The app description said there were in-app purchases but didn’t say that you MUST purchase to use it. False advertising … and I will delete it.

### 1/5 — I paid

*2025-05-15, version 2.6.0*

Such a bummer! I paid my money but don’t get to go back a day or 2?  Keeps saying Unlock!  
I paid you got my money why should I have to unlock. App don’t work well.

### 1/5 — Very limited

*2025-03-29, version 2.6.0*

Not many features available in the free version.

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2025-03-22, version 2.6.0*

Paywall for the saints ?!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-11-29, version 2.6.0*

Have to pay to view more than one Saint. Scam

### 1/5 — Saint of the day

*2024-01-02, version 2.6.0*

Cost $$ to view the Daily Saint…. I thought this was a free app.

### 1/5 — Still buster

*2023-08-15, version 2.6.0*

Setup screen locks, can’t use the app.
Major flaw.

### 1/5 — Sad

*2023-08-14, version 2.6.0*

For an app that you have to pay for there is not even one thing you can do for free like other apps. I retract, I think there was 1 or 2 free prayers… but not saints. Pretty disappointed

*2025-12-21, version 2.6.0*

Every descriptive I enjoyed a lot

### 5/5 — Very fine

*2025-07-11*

This app is very easy to understand, and introduces the user to all the other lesser known saints in the calendar, as well as the better known ones. Very good basic knowledge at your fingertips.

### 5/5 — Catholic Saints Calendar

*2025-02-05*

Even though I’m not Catholic, this calendar of the saints comes in handy when it comes to when I’m learning about their feast day-it’s a very helpful tool

### 5/5 — What a blessing

*2024-04-29, version 2.6.0*

Truly blessing and sacred space

### 5/5 — Great app and I want to put on January 8 Our Lady of Prompt Succor

*2023-12-09, version 2.6.0*

I like about it, that I need to put a saint on January 8 I think some of you guys who know the book called drinking with the saints by Michael P. foley I want to put that Saint on there 11/17/2023 From Toto

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-11-10, version 2.6.0*

Great info

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2023-09-19*

Finally found an app I really love thank you so much

### 5/5 — Certain Field Not Functioning

*2023-06-28*

When I press the “Set Up” field, another screen comes up which shows where to write a review, EULA, and other items.  However, that screen doesn’t allow you to go back to the initial opening screen of the app.  Can this function be fixed?

### 5/5 — Always winners With The WINNER

*2023-04-12*

Regardless of who where when, I love robe reminded of what my “Sisters and Brothers” have accomplished with guidance, much LOVE from Our Lord.
This Love surrounds us all; always we need to make the time to”see” and “hear” His Presence with us
Alleluia; He is Risen 😎🙏❤️
