### 5/5 — Major Supernatural Power in a little App

*2026-08-14, version 4.5.7*

This app is the easiest way to harness the power of novenas - multiple family members praying at once - so simple but so perfect

### 4/5 — Makes praying novenas simpler

*2026-08-12, version 4.5.7*

I would give this app 5 stars if it weren’t so glitchy all the time. Otherwise, I love this app. It makes it easy to find the novenas you want to pray and to follow them on the traditional schedule.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-08-11, version 4.5.7*

Has been one of my greatest tools since I converted last year.

### 5/5 — Saint Anne Saint Anne find me a man!

*2026-08-03, version 4.5.7*

The best faith app I've ever used. Greatly helps me grow closer to my Catholic faith and the saints! Novenas work huge miracles in people's lives. This makes it easier to do those novenas.

### 4/5 — Trying the 14 day free Trial

*2026-08-01, version 4.5.7*

I love how you can write your intention down and it saves it for you‼️I love the Novena to St. Alphonse Liguori!‼️
I'm sad that the Alarm reminder won't change from 8 am. Tried to get it to do it at 9:15 am since mass starts at 8 am. So we shall see if I want to keep it for its low monthly fee.  But Thank you for creating this app. You put a lot of thought in to it. But it also would be nice to have a few other novenas for the same St. to choose from.  God Bless.

### 5/5 — St Benedict Novena

*2026-07-29, version 4.5.7*

I wanted to pray a Novena to St Benedict for my Nephew Luke. I had started my own from a prayer book but as often happens  I forgot one day and started again with the Intercede App. The reminders each morning meant I didn’t forget and my prayer was more focussed. Being able to add to the intentions and ponder the names each day was a blessing as many who I know who are sick were added during the 9 days. 🙏

### 5/5 — Loving it

*2026-07-23, version 4.5.7*

I’m really loving this app so far. Other apps might have novenas with videos, but this one has the prayers written down with a scheduling algorithm that makes it much easier to keep track.

### 2/5 — I want to like it but…

*2026-07-17, version 4.5.7*

I purchased the $30 a year version, but two days in a row I keep getting error messages. Super frustrating because now I’m off track with my novena, and I even paid for the fully unlocked version.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-13, version 4.5.7*

I use this app daily. Great for tracking novenas. One suggestion: it would be nice to have a scroll tab on the right hand side of the screen so we can see our scrolling progress in the novena. Suggestion 2: it would be nice to have a text to speech feature that could read the novena to you out loud. This would be a nice option to simply reading the novena in the app.

### 5/5 — Easy and profound

*2026-07-11, version 4.5.7*

This app is one of the easiest apps I’ve ever used. The reminders are great, and I love the many choices of novenas. 
I am able to pray a day of a novena every day. I don’t have to go searching on the Internet for a novena. This app presents many choices and information.
