No matter what Liturgical season or Feast Day it is, or what type of spiritual enrichment we are looking for, there is something in this app that fits the need! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dead *2026-01-22, version 10.000.1* Automated email login system currently disabled preventing users from using the app. ### 1/5 — Deleted due to tracking *2025-12-24, version 9.304.2* The Formed organization is rich with a multitude of resources to educate and enrich the faith life of any Catholic. However, the app discloses that it tracks numerous metrics that are not necessary for the app to function. For individuals who seek to limit such tracking, this results in their unwillingness to download the app. Formed staff: please prayerfully reconsider the need to track app users. ### 1/5 — Parish Subscription Not Working *2025-12-14, version 9.304.2* Parish subscription not functioning. We (parish members) were told we could gain access and find our parish by using our zip code or parish name. Neither work. It has been tried on Google’s browser, Internet explorer, and iOS’s Safari. Every attempt results in the following error message: Error! $Request failed with status code 500 ### 1/5 — To overwhelming and old information *2025-12-01, version 9.304.1* I love parts of Formed, but this app is an information overload and houses outdated information. I was looking for Advent studies and came across studies from 2016 and beyond. Can we better manage this information? ### 1/5 — NOT FREE *2025-11-08, version 9.304.1* It is a shame that this app charges after watching just a single video. So much content that looks interesting, but none is accessible without paying first. It is almost like they are money lenders at the temple. I’ll be deleting this app as soon as I post this review. Unfortunately, I feel compelled to steer everyone I know away from this app. So sad. ### 1/5 — New daily reflections setup stinks *2025-10-04, version 9.101.1* Formed app gave me 2 oct on 4 oct and not current. Email has no sound and no sound controls. Are demons infecting you work? ### 1/5 — Can no longer sign in *2025-09-02, version 9.100.1* Ever since Formed abandoned passwords, I can no longer sign in on iPhone. No matter what I do, the login email never arrives. Signing in on the web works so it’s not my email, it’s just a defect in the iOS app. I reached out for support and … crickets. ### 1/5 — Awesome!! *2025-08-16, version 9.100.1* A variety of great content for any age!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t change password *2025-07-19, version 9.100.1* Cannot find or search for an option to change my password. I received notification that my password has been compromised and should be changed. However, no option can be found to do so, and no search option exist to find such instructions. ### 1/5 — Catherine *2025-02-25, version 9.003.1* I love Formed. It’s soothing to the soul to know I can watch content that is uplifting and inspiring while learning more about my faith in the process. In our world that is becoming increasingly secular, Formed is place I can go to bring something spiritual into my everyday viewing. One thing I would love even more is to have content available in our time zone in Australia instead of having to wait until the following day. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Resources *2026-08-29, version 10.401.1* Great resource for spiritual growth for all ages ### 5/5 — A Gift *2026-08-29, version 10.401.1* Packed with everything you need on your journey toward sainthood, inspiring movies and engaging content that answers just about any question you may have about the Catholic faith. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-08-28, version 10.401.1* Formed is my favorite app!
