AI happy. When they respond multiple people read or don’t read the issue being raised. ### 4/5 — Optional advice *2026-08-24, version 13.10.0* Praying should be free but I do love your prayers and daily rosary! ### 4/5 — Great for Establishing Prayer Discipline and Learning *2026-08-24, version 13.10.0* This app is fantastic! It’s got well known voice actors and scholars to do the content. The content, albeit prayers, Liturgical readings, daily Gospels, OCIA supplementals, Holy Rosary, music, sleep aids, etc. it’s got it and it’s get it in spades. The ability to establish a routine has been paramount in not only establishing a daily prayer regiment and discipline in my life but to learn the prayers more fully and meditations. My one nitpick that I’ve ran into has been very limited Divine Hours prayers to only at night. That is a very big ask so it’s by no means a deal breaker—getting a voice actors on board with that just sounds expensive so, I get it, but I would love to see it in the future! ### 4/5 — Perfect for Catholics in today’s world *2026-08-23, version 13.10.0* It has definitely helped me focus more on my prayer life. I especially love that you can start prayer campaigns so you can remember to pray for others, and others can pray for you. It’s usually hard for me to remind myself how important it is to pray with how busy and demanding a persons life is nowadays, as well as all having the distractions of technology and social media. But when I have a notification appear that it’s time to pray, stopping to pray for even just 5 minutes makes a difference in someone’s life. Also, having the feature where a daily quote or Bible verse appears on your lock screen every day has helped to keep my focus on God throughout the day. Highly suggest this app! God Bless! ### 5/5 — God Bless Hallow🙏 *2026-08-21, version 13.9.0* I’m so thankful for this app! I discover new things that are helping me in my journey everyday to bring me closer to my lord ### 5/5 — Hallow *2026-08-20, version 13.9.0* I use Hallow everyday to pray and grow spiritually. I am so Blessed and Grateful. Such a Treasure to have in my life ### 5/5 — A New Day *2026-08-20, version 13.9.0* What a wonderful way to start a new day. Every morning I get my reminder that it’s time to listen to God’s word. And so far, every day I click on the link and just listen. Some of these words stay with me all day. It’s beautiful. ### 5/5 — Beautiful App *2026-08-20* Such a beautiful app, so many different features to choose from such as daily Gospel, daily teachings, games, night time prayer. I have found that I actually look forward to getting into bed of an evening as my nighttime routine is now listening to the nighttime prayer before I drifted off to sleep, such a beautiful calming way to end of the day. I enjoy Jonathan Roumie’s voice as the voice of Jesus also, so peaceful. Daily teachings are really engaging. I’m learning so much and growing deeper in my faith. I have seen a minority of people complain about the cost, I actually think it is very reasonably priced and an app simply cannot be free if you have to employ staff to upkeep it particularly software developers do not come cheap. Worth every cent. Thanks for creating such a beautiful app 🙏💕 ### 5/5 — Prayer healing *2026-08-19, version 13.9.0* Very beautiful and lovely experience! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-08-19, version 13.9.0* this is bringing me closer to jesus and it's growing my spirit ### 5/5 — Niall *2026-08-19, version 13.9.0* Amazing - listen to Hallow every morning- Amps up your spirituality daily ### 5/5 — Helps to Relax *2026-08-18, version 13.9.0* Very soothing Hallow is. I feel more relaxed after listening. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-08-18, version 13.9.0* This app has helped me to grow closer in my faith and helped me to break my bad habits ### 5/5 — Rosary *2026-08-18, version 13.9.0* I learned the rosary through this app before I didn’t know how to pray it. love this app and recommend if you want to strengthen your relationship with God. ### 2/5 — Technology stinks *2026-08-17, version 13.9.0* I have been trying to renew with the 50% off offer for days with assistance of tech support. Will not work. ### 5/5 — Hallow *2026-08-16, version 13.9.0* This app is the best!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — I needed this *2026-08-14, version 13.9.0* I’m still pretty new to trying to grow closer to God spiritually. Luckily for me I stumbled upon this app while doomscrolling. I am eternally grateful to God for showing me how to get closer to him. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Help please *2026-08-24, version 13.10.0* Signed up for account but app refuses to let me in says password is incorrect ### 1/5 — Buyer beware *2026-08-23, version 13.10.0* Very deceptive and disappointing experience. The distinction between the free and premium versions is not made clear enough until it is too late. The overall experience feels less focused on providing a transparent, user-friendly service and more focused on generating revenue. This may be a business first and foremost, but customers still deserve clear information, upfront disclosure, and fair practices. ### 1/5 — Advertising Tucker! *2026-08-14, version 13.9.0* The app is great. I’m just making my opinion clear that is it NOT OK to advertise on Tucker Carlson. He’s actively at war with Turning Point, spinning conspiracies that Erika Kirk killed her husband. He’s a disgusting Muslim apologist and the epitome of how Christians should NOT behave. ### 1/5 — All they want is money *2026-08-12, version 13.9.0* I contacted them multiple times about the $70 fee even before the subscription was ip. Told them about it being downloaded by a child for morning prayer and wasn’t ment to be paid for being prayer theough jesus is free. They not only overdrafted my accout. But too more than said. ### 1/5 — Questionable Practices *2026-08-10, version 13.9.0* Be mindful trying their “free” trial. I’ve been charged for a full year, never opened the app & absolutely nobody at Hallow will assist. ### 1/5 — Cancelled trial, was still charged *2026-08-10, version 13.9.0* Do not do the free trial, I was charged despite canceling it. Pretty dispointing being the purpose of the app. ### 1/5 — Horrible customer service *2026-08-05, version 13.9.0* My child downloaded the app. I unsubscribed the services. In March Hallow kept stealing money from my debit card. I could not unsubscribe again because it was already done. Apple finally put a stop to the recurring charges but refuses to refund the weeks Hallow stole from me. Stay away from this UN Christlike app who makes it impossible to contact for a refund. Apple and Hallow should both be ashamed! ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-07-28, version 13.7.1* I downloaded this and realized that it’s a Catholic Bible. I’m sorry but there is no catholic Bible. That doesn’t make me comfortable to read. There is however The Bible and I guess I will actually stick to reading the actual Bible. ### 1/5 — Privacy Policy *2026-07-23, version 13.7.1* I used to really like Hallow, until I learned that the privacy policy allows data to be shared with Hallow investors, including Peter Thiel. Unsubscribed! ### 1/5 — Define “free” *2026-07-18, version 13.7.0* This app intrigued me during lent, so I thought I would try their 90-day free trial. I didn’t care for the app. After logging in a couple of times, I stopped using it. Imagine my surprise when Hallow charged my credit card for a one year subscription that I never asked for. Religion for profit, I guess. Disappointing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-25* I’m learning so much. I love this app **Developer response:** Thank you so much 💜 It is beautiful to hear that Hallow is helping you learn and grow in faith. May God continue to guide your heart, deepen your prayer, and draw you closer to Him each day 🙏✝️ ### 5/5 — Love the app- some requests *2026-08-25, version 13.10.0* Ok to start off I would love to say thank you for this wonderful app and for helping people get closer to god.. I listen and pray everyday with this app. I have some requests though… first I would love some more games/ activities to be added. Second I think less should only be available if you have to pay for it, thank you … god bless! ### 5/5 — Hallow: Prayer and Meditation *2026-08-24, version 13.10.0* Great! ### 5/5 — Daily Rosary for Beginners *2026-08-24, version 13.10.0* Thank you Hallow! As I begin my path back to righteousness I am helped greatly by this app. Praying the Rosary can seem daunting at first… getting words right, remembering the mysteries, keeping track of beads, etc. This app makes it so easy to follow along and very easy to refind your place should you lose it. I can even get in my daily prayer on my walk to or from class. Thank you Hallow, and God bless you :) ### 5/5 — Thank you Lord! *2026-08-24, version 13.10.0* This is just what I needed! ### 5/5 — The Social Media We Should Have Had First *2026-08-24, version 13.10.0* Overall, a very well put together app that serves a good purpose as well as helps deliver the Gospel (THE GOOD NEWS) if one truly commits to listening + establishing a consistent Spiritual routine and/or authentic, honest connection to God. J thank you for all you have done! 🤍 ### 5/5 — Game changer *2026-08-23, version 13.10.0* You won’t regret it. ### 5/5 — Binge Listen *2026-08-23, version 13.10.0* I love the Saints Alive - do I need to confess that I’m bingeing it? Thank you❤️ ### 5/5 — App was Free for Lent and now I will NEVER be without Hallow. *2026-08-22, version 13.10.0* This is way more than just a ‘Bible App’. The content is endless and fills my time with things that are life changing. I LOVE the XI Talent podcast. I’m a third way through the Bible in a year. My new friend Jeff Cavens is so authentic and spot on every day. I was finally Confirmed this Easter as a new Catholic, at my advanced age, after raising my kids in church. Now I am the evangelist bringing them back to their church. I am so grateful to have this part of my daily life. I’m so grateful to feel so loved. ### 5/5 — Very well-made app *2026-08-21* I love this app. There is so much to explore and it really makes it so easy to incorporate some meaningful prayer, reflection and study time into your busy schedule. Critics will say that you shouldn’t need an app for that but let’s be entirely honest – most of us kind of do. Especially when you were born into Christianity but don’t really know a lot about the bible and where to start. I personally really struggled with reading and praying in a self-led way for many years. The app doesn’t take away your independent thinking – it always gives room for reflection and adding your own thoughts as notes. I think a lot of thought went into designing this app and its content – I am really impressed by it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
