The programs on I Catholic Radio are uplifting, educational, and have served to deepen my faith as a Catholic. Thank you for this amazing station. ### 5/5 — Truth *2022-07-20, version 3.3.2* Learning so much about the Catholic faith! The truth about God’s mercy and his love for me (and all people). The Roman Catholic Church is NOT about punishment and collection baskets. Confession is a gift and a blessing for my soul. The Eucharist IS the body and blood of Christ which nourishes my soul, it gives me grace to hope in a future here and in Heaven. The anointing of the sick is NOT just for the dying, it is a gift of healing even in the everyday struggles. These are just a few things I have learned. ### 5/5 — The Stations of The Cross *2022-06-05, version 3.3.2* I love the Catholic Radio App and I have learned so much about my Catholic faith that I was not aware of and am grateful for the programs, especially Fr McTeigue’s podcasts. I take his podcasts on my walks and learn so much. God bless him and all the other hosts! ### 5/5 — Unapologetic Catholic *2022-05-11, version 3.3.2* Use everyday and many times a day for praying, mass, and incredible programming that informs enlightens inspires and nourishes one’s Catholic Faith!! A Blessing!. ### 5/5 — Great resource *2021-10-13, version 3.3.2* Use it every day to bring you closer to Christ. ### 4/5 — Font is TOO SMALL AND LIGHT *2021-09-12, version 3.3.2* I love the programming on Catholic Radio but in many areas of the application the font is so tiny and the pale blue color is light that it’s very difficult to see, especially when using at night. Please address. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Thank you so much *2021-08-10, version 3.3.2* Really enjoying this app! Thank you for having this available. For the most part it is really helping me ### 5/5 — Ten out of 5!! *2021-07-30, version 3.3.2* This is the BEST Catholic radio - Mother Miriam, Sermons for Everyday Living, Terry and Jesse and of course... the fantastic Fr McTeigue. All are so powerful and brave to speak religious and political truth!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-05-08, version 3.3.2* Hi there this is a good App I love it and I will tell my friends about it.😀😀🙏🏻🙏🏻 ### 4/5 — Love it! *2021-03-13, version 3.3.2* The music and radio is wonderful! I love it, but when listening to the music I would love to know who it is and what song they are singing. Great information to listen to on the radio. Thank you for providing this great app. ### 4/5 — Info needed *2021-02-12, version 3.3.2* I just got it and I've been looking for catholic music and your app is it! butttt I wish I knew who is singing and the title of the song unless is me that cant find it in the app and I don't want to go thru a third party like shazam but other than that great app. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2020-12-17, version 3.3.2* The quality of the app and the content are fantastic. ### 5/5 — A Game Changer *2020-09-25, version 3.3.1* The broad range of programs keeps me tuned in through out the day... both inspirational and educational!!! ### 5/5 — Intelligent, Highly Informative, & Edifying *2020-08-17, version 3.3.1* Specifically I’m talking about: The Catholic Current. Fr Mcteigue’s guests are cultural giants both famed and hidden; nearly all at the epicenter of the mighty storms and hurricanes of social issues the Church is besieged with all over her frontlines. His guests are all well educated and have highly enlightened and balanced perspectives on the most important topics of our age. This show truly sharpens your mind by challenging preconceived notions on topics covered; ain’t nothing like it I’ve come across in over 10 years of seeking a more culturally broad, intellectually respectful, uncompromisingly faithful, and relevant discussion platform. You won’t regret it. Ps. Because I care so much about the show and this great labor of love: three things that could take this show to the next level: 1) improve transitions between commercial breaks. I find it jarring when guests are so abruptly cut off in the middle of their brilliant dialogues 2) I find many questions asked by the host to be a bit leading; just let the incredible insight of your guests and truth speak for themselves/itself; just let the unique insights of these luminaries shine for itself without prefacing in a way might make the answers fee lead on or set up 3) maybe it’s just my own preference for sense of humor but sometimes I find the manner in which the questions are asked to undermine the true weight and power of them. If we want to attract those in darkness to hear the truth, we must contrast our message from those of the hopeless or mocking and especially sarcastic voices of the world by packaging them more in a voice of courageous hope and uncompromising joy. ### 5/5 — Amazing resource! *2020-04-09, version 3.3.1* I have truly grown spiritually since using this app. From learning about the faith to praying the Rosary and the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy, it is a great blessing! Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stations of the cross has the defrocked priest John Corapi *2023-03-11, version 3.3.5* Just began listening and know that the person taking is the defrocked priest John Corapi!!! How can you be broadcasting this man who is so scandalous!!!! ### 1/5 — App *2020-04-21, version 3.3.1* I do not like the new app. It turns on by itself. Is there anyway to get the old one. Why upgrade what doesn’t need updating. Guess I have to delete it. ### 1/5 — No audio *2020-04-08, version 3.3.1* Receiving messages with problem downloading audio. Help! I love your app. ### 1/5 — Mission7696 *2018-02-13, version 3.2.5* Will not let me play even after I restart the app. Need to seriously fix. 😠 ### 1/5 — iCatholic Radio *2013-11-05, version 2.6* Listened daily with my 3G. New 5S deletes app when I tap on it. Please fix. One star, only because it isn't working. Otherwise, definitely a five-star program. ### 2/5 — Not the same *2020-07-29, version 3.3.1* You have a lot of good podcasts but I don’t like the new app because once I put on a podcast or Catholic music I can’t find my way back to listen to the live broadcast. When I am in the city I lose my radio connection in my car so I have to listen through my phone, but I can’t find the live broadcast. I only listen to iCatholic radio, but the old version of the app was better. ### 2/5 — Better time slot allottement needed *2010-05-26, version 0* Interesting shows like Catholic Answers, Fr. Corapi, Fulton Sheen need better time slots than midnight. ### 3/5 — Please add back the prayers. *2020-04-19, version 3.3.1* Please add back the podcast/prayers to the app. ### 3/5 — Heartbroken *2014-04-29, version 2.6.1* Where did the conference talks, divine mercy in my soul, and most of all the rosary and divine mercy chaplet a go? I use this app multiple times a week and suddenly those resources are gone. :( ### 3/5 — Only One Request *2011-09-24, version 2.4* My only complaint about this app is that it times out when I'm listening for more than just a few minutes. I love to use this app when I'm driving for long periods and there is no Catholic radio available. But it only goes for so long, then quits. I have to press stop, then play again. A simple process, but in the time it takes to do that and buffer the stream, I usually miss out on some of the broadcast. Considering that most of the program is educational in nature, that experience of stopping, waiting, and starting again, often leaves holes in the spiritual lesson at hand. That's more than a little frustrating, when it happens over and over again during a single talk by a priest. However, I do still use the app, because I appreciate the programming. If they fixed the timeout issue, I'd give it 5 stars. Otherwise, if I could find an app that could do the job with zero timeouts, I would switch. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love Ask a Priest Live! *2025-04-10, version 3.4.1* Absolutely love the show Ask A Priest Live with the priests of the ICKSP and FSSP!

It is never boring and so entertaining that you will find yourself filling your day with ICatholicRadion which will inform and teach you as you navigate through your day. My favorite app! Monica ### 5/5 — Great content on iCatholic App *2023-11-06, version 3.3.5* This is a great app for listening to station of the cross content. ### 5/5 — Changed by views *2023-07-28, version 3.3.5* Listening to this app changed my views of the Catholic faith and brought me back to the church after I had been gone from it for 19 years. It helped me learn that many of the myths if the Catholic church are simply not true and, in many cases, quite the opposite. I have also found that I can really relate to the radio personalities who don’t hide their realness and don’t pretend to be something they’re not. Love, love, love this app! ### 5/5 — wonderful App *2023-05-24, version 3.3.5* I like the app my only suggestion is can you please make it compatible with apple car play and android auto so that is easy to listen to the app while driving. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
