### 4/5 — Very good

*2026-08-01*

Great programming! Please add the schedule in the app

### 3/5 — News live

*2025-04-21*

I would like to know what I do just to get on EWTN news live

### 5/5 — Catholic TV reunited me with the Catholic Faith

*2025-03-24*

Thank you Catholic TV, Bishop Reed, and staff for providing me with a pathway back to the Almighty Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
P.S. My brothers and sisters, I must confess that my first vote was one star because I erroneously assumed that the left Star was the highest rating. Please forgive me.

### 5/5 — Answered prayer

*2024-06-04*

I prayed to God for help and I don’t know how it appeared on my phone but Catholic TV was there‼️‼️I watched and a priest was on his porch holding a cat so I watched his show and I have been helped in so many ways‼️‼️Father Chapin has shown me Jesus in a way I have never known him before. My life has been changed by him and by Bishop Reed praying the rosary and the many prayers he prays!! And Going My Way is so much
fun‼️‼️I am thankful to God for bringing them into my life 🙏🙏God bless you all and praying for Father Chapin’s healing ✝️✝️🙏🙏💕

### 5/5 — Catholicism is stronger than ever!

*2024-03-14, version 6.0.1*

Feel the love of God in your life.

### 5/5 — Can’t watch the Mass

*2023-07-28*

Love to watch/listen to the daily Mass, but all of a sudden I can’t get it to load.  Other parts of the app are fine, just not the Mass.

### 4/5 — Needs a back button

*2023-04-23*

This app is great; I really enjoy having the mass and rosary in my pocket. However, there is no back button on my iOS device when I watch a video on this app, so I end up having to close the app down and hard restart it to get back to the home page so I can switch between mass and rosary. If you could include a back button on the videos to send us back to the home page that would be great.

### 5/5 — Glitch

*2023-03-02*

I downloaded and have been using the app however when I opened the Catholic news video there was no way to return to the home page (?)

### 5/5 — Add Schedule on app for iOS

*2022-01-29*

Hello,
I would really like a tv schedule guide to be put on this app for iOS devices, like what they have for the EWTN app for iOS. That would be much easier to see what’s playing on Catholic TV rather than go on the website. Please add this in the next update for this iOS app.
Thanks,
David

### 5/5 — Best Catholic Channel App

*2021-11-14*

Prayers, mass, and informative programming to support living life in Christ.  News shows are facts not political comments and cover Catholics around the world, not just Vatican.
