### 4/5 — Very good

*2026-08-01, version 6.2.2*

Great programming! Please add the schedule in the app

### 3/5 — News live

*2025-04-21, version 6.2.2*

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

### 4/5 — Needs a back button

*2023-04-23, version 6.0.0*

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.

### 2/5 — Problem with viewing on Apple TV

*2021-09-20, version 6.0.0*

The Apple TV version of the app appears fine in dark mode but cannot read the labels in light mode (black on black background). I reported this earlier but I’m not sure if the email got to the developers. I am writing a review here to hopefully bring attention to this problem. Please pass this information on to the Apple TV app developers so that it may be corrected.

### 4/5 — Daily Mass 2nd December 2020 a most holy mass

*2020-12-01, version 4.1.1*

Tom McCann.

### 4/5 — Good but needs a fix - no Divine Office or Word Exposed😢

*2020-04-21, version 4.1.1*

I like to follow the Mass on my TV through CatholicTV.org which is the only way I can view considering I live in the UK. So finding the App was a blessing as I can watch now using my iPhone or iPad. BUT I’ve had to drop a star because for some really odd reason this App doesn’t include the prayers of Divine Office! We have the daily Mass but not the daily prayer services. I also miss Cardinal Tagle and The Word Exposed. Why these two shows are missing I cannot understand. If the devs can fix this issue please I’ll gladly award five stars.

### 5/5 — Enjoy Catholic TV

*2020-04-08, version 4.1.1*

i enjoy the programming of Catholic TV...Such a myriad of subjects.  From Bishop Reed playing a music game w/ youngsters.... to Holy Mass... to Divine Mercy Chaplet... the Rosary ...and others too many to list!  Keep up the good work!! Blessings!!

### 5/5 — Best Catholic app ever!!

*2020-03-15, version 4.1.1*

With the corona virus going on, I may not be able to attend Catholic mass every day or weekend. But fortunately with the help of this app, anything is possible with God.

### 4/5 — What Happened To The Rosary?

*2019-11-06, version 4.1.1*

Excellent app for Catholics and even non-Catholics. Sadly, the Rosary channel has been deleted.

### 3/5 — Great App but doesn’t work with an adapter for TV viewing

*2018-11-05, version 4.0.4*

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

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

*2025-03-24, version 6.0.3*

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, version 6.0.3*

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, version 6.0.0*

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.

### 5/5 — Glitch

*2023-03-01, version 6.0.0*

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

*2022-01-28, version 6.0.0*

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, version 6.0.0*

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.

### 5/5 — Nov 14 Mass

*2021-11-14, version 6.0.0*

The Mass today is exactly what I wanted to hear and needed

### 5/5 — Building the Faith!

*2021-10-18, version 6.0.0*

I totally love the design and features of the new app! I love the additions of the Divine Office and Notre Dame Mass. Plus all of the amazing Rosaries with Bishop Reed and the Daily Catholic Mass.
If I could I would rate the CatholicTV app 10 stars. Well designed and functional & building my faith each and every day! Thank you for this and God bless you & the awesome things that you do

### 5/5 — Mass

*2021-08-18, version 5.0.0*

Mass is important to me I make donations to Catholic TV To attend as a senior
