### 5/5 — Exceptional free Catholic education

*2025-12-21, version 2.5.0*

The Institute of Catholic culture is a phenomenal organization that gives high-quality content and lecturers and gives you free resources on the Catholic faith.

### 5/5 — Every Catholic should take at least one class.

*2025-04-15, version 2.4.0*

The Institute for Catholic Culture (ICC) is the best online forum for ongoing Catholic adult education I have found.  For over three years I have audited classes (certificates are also offered) and learned things about the faith I had never heard before or had a very indeed study explaining why we believe what we believe.  This was confirmed with me when I audited the Bioethics class.

### 5/5 — Great (And FREE)

*2024-01-23, version 2.3.0*

Great source of catholic theology content.

### 5/5 — Essential Resource

*2023-10-12, version 2.3.0*

If you want to move beyond basic YouTube apologetics and content (nothing wrong with those) this is the place. I can now say after over a year of listening to the lectures offered here that I have a firm understanding of my cultural heritage as a Catholic.

### 1/5 — Not dependable

*2023-08-09, version 2.2.0*

Often kicks me out, required login when it’s showing I AM logged in. But won’t allow me to access courses. 
Very frustrating

### 1/5 — Review

*2023-03-09, version 2.2.0*

Very difficult to figure out how to just log into a
class that requires registration for , you go to course and there is no simple way to join 
In . 
So frustrating I’m most probably going to quit 
to much problem to just sign in 

A simple sign in page would be great that took you to the courses your signed into to just log on

### 5/5 — GOD IS GREAT

*2023-01-27, version 2.2.0*

This App is almost perfect.  Nothing is 💯% perfect except GOD HIMSELF.  I would like to say thank you to everyone who worked on or participated on this project. And to those WHO are working at this moment.

   I would like to say thank you toMAY THE LIGHT THAT SHINES FROM OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST SHINE UPON YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES NOW AND FOREVER AMEN ⛪️🛐✝️🇨🇦🙏🏼📿🪖👮🏻‍♂️🫵🏼🛐🙏🏼🫶🏽📿👋🏼🫡🙏🏼📿🙏🏼📿🙏🏼📿🙏🏼📿🙏🏼📿🙏🏼📿🙏🏼📿
   Your Brother in CHRIST JESUS Arthur-Léopold 😇🫡

### 5/5 — One of the best Catholic educational organizations

*2022-10-17, version 2.2.0*

I learned about ICC via my wife. She’d been amazed about the incredible amount of free quality Catholic content that they produced.  

Then I became more familiar with ICC by listening to SonRise Morning Show on EWTN Radio. 

Now I use the app several times per week to continue my Catholic education and formation. 
 
I highly recommend this app and the ICC.

### 5/5 — Well done!

*2022-07-28, version 2.2.0*

Takes a bit to figure it out, but pretty slick after that. Note, help is readily available both to learn and to problem solve. We’ll done!

### 2/5 — Awkward audio playback

*2021-01-16, version 2.1.0*

Yep, the pre-writen review pretty well says it:
Hundreds of hours of audio and the content is so good I'm trying to listen to them all but using the Podcast app instead. This one lacks three important features: pick up where I last stopped listening, click once to back up 15 seconds at a time, and change playback speed.

I would add another: it appears the lectures for the courses can't be downloaded to be watched or listened to off-line.
