An app to connect with God

Thank you. Great and free content to connect with God. I particularly love the daily lectio and the Spritual exercises.

With gratitude

Thank you for your service of love

A Blessing

This has been such a blessing…the content is so good! I came on here to leave a review simply based on this years (2025) Advent Journey of the Discerning Heart- what a gift! It literally has been exactly what my heart needed and I know God led me to these beautiful, soul searching reflections. I have the Discernment of Spirits book by Fr. Gallagher and it was such a grace. Then I found their app, and I love it! Thank you for such a wonderful app!

His love endures for ever

I am so happy to have found this app. I thank God our creator for filling my search with such beautiful work. I pray for you to pray for God for there is nothing sweeter.

So Helpful (by Not A Catholic)

I found the Discernment of Spirits podcast so very helpful. Practical for every day living.
Thank you, Father Tim and Kris for your fine work.

A treasure trove!

What an incredible resource! The Discerning Hearts app is loaded with hours and hours of rich spiritual content. Faithful. Practical. Inspirational.

Spiritual Lifesaver

I am so very thankful for this Absolutely wonderful app! A spiritual and everyday lifesaver.

Solid formation and devotion material

I have used this app mainly for the Fr Timothy Gallagher OMV podcasts, but the other podcasts look excellent. The Scriptural Rosary is great for beginners too and not too fast. Well done!

Crashes

Unfortunately the app crashes every time I try to open it on my iPhone.

Next best thing to a good retreat

I discovered this app by accident, diving into a rabbit hole of Ignatian Discernment after a library app suggested I try Fr. Gallagher’s book (I did). I absolutely love it, it allows me to have spiritual nourishment as a busy mom of three young kids in an isolated rural town with a tiny catholic community and the closest retreat house being a state away. I thank God for the creators of these materials.
One thing that would make it even better would be a text search and option to bookmark certain audios.

Crashes

Unfortunately app crashes every time I try to open it.

Good app for daily use

Missing Lectio Divina audio. Yesterday’s episode is read only, today’s episode, so far, is missing all together.

Merci

Thank you to those generous people who were inspired to offer this App to everyone. A friend recommended it and I am now recommending it to friends and family. I am listening to Timothy Gallagher's discernment of spirits - 14 Rules. Already it has changed my life. I really needed some guidance and this has provided me exactly what I needed. I can't recommend it highly enough. And I'm deeply grateful to those who put their life's work into helping others find their spiritual path.

Father Gallagher’s podcasts: jewels

Thank you Discerning Hearts for making available Father Gallagher’s holy example and perspective on the teachings of our Lord!

Discerning Hearts App is an INVALUABLE RESOURCE

for all Catholics but also others of the Christian community. It asks all the questions you’ve wondered about and a few you’ll be surprised by the width and depth handling of St. Ignatius’ masterful Summa Theologica the rich narratives of the lives of the Saints, Church Fathers, the Holy Trinity, The Rosery, Catholic Church history, Holy Communion (transsubstantiation), Holy Mass, Mary’s Devinity and perfection, devotionals, prayers and more!

A must to grow in the spiritual life.

The most complete app with a focus on spirituality and mysticism from the rich treasury of the Church. A must for that next step.

Every single faithful Catholic should have this app

Best app among all for Catholic faith. And I still don’t believe it is totally free. It is a blessing for all faithful Catholics. It undoubted changed my life and helped me fought numerous spritual combats and continuously accompany me in my daily spiritual journey. I especially love the Spiritual Formation Session. Thank you Discerning Heart. May God bless your ministry now and forever!
