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. ### 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. ### 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 — Dad *2026-06-23, version 4.5.6* This app has helped me so much pray Novenas. I have prayed a few before but this helps me be more consistent and be almost gives me more assurance in my prayers. The actual app is beautiful. I prayed for the souls who do not yet know him, and yesterday my Dad (who isn’t Catholic) simply asked my family a question about why Non-Catholics cannot receive the Eucharist. I didn’t know the full answer but I took it as an answered prayer and I was joyful. If you have never prayed a Novena before no matter where you are at, I highly recommend it. Remember, it’s not about changing God’s mind, it’s about conforming our minds to his will and spreading his love. God Bless, Jackson. ### 5/5 — Prayer *2026-06-10, version 4.5.5* This app has really helped my spiritual growth, encouraging me to pray . ### 4/5 — Wonderful, except… *2026-06-03, version 4.5.5* that if you miss a day, the day is marked complete in the Novena. Therefore, if you are not paying attention to the date last prayed and what time it happened, you might fool yourself into believing you did not miss a day. This fix would make the app Spectacular. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-05-31, version 4.5.5* Great app! ### 4/5 — Unable to view novenas. *2026-05-26, version 4.5.4* I love the novenas but I have not been able to I view the novenas unless I open an account which I don’t want to do, How can I continue to pray without saving my prayer history and opening an account? ### 5/5 — Kept me on track! *2026-05-26, version 4.5.4* I really like the Prayer reminder! It kept me focused and on track. St. Expeditus, pray for us. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-05-21, version 4.5.4* The app facilitates great opportunities to slow down and collect one’s thoughts. And to offer prayers to the Almighty for solace and recollection. Good therapy! ### 3/5 — Priced Prayers *2026-05-20, version 4.5.4* I don’t think we should have to pay to unlock prayers. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-17, version 4.5.3* Intercede is so great! The interface is simple, the reminders are great and the novenas are beautiful!! ### 4/5 — PLEASE ADD WIDGETS *2026-05-17, version 4.5.3* Please add widgets! I would suggest a widget which tracks what day of the novena you’re on and the novena’s you’re currently praying. ### 5/5 — Deepen my faith *2026-05-11, version 4.5.0* I had never done a Novena although I had heard of them. As a new convert to Catholicism it’s been incredibly helpful to have such great tools to deepen my connection with Christ and the Communion of Saints. The Intercede app has definitely been a great resource in that sense, plus I find it very intuitive and easy to use. ### 4/5 — Todays2morrow4 *2026-05-10, version 4.5.0* Yesterday ### 4/5 — Love! But I have to login every time *2026-05-10, version 4.5.0* This is a wonderful app and I thoroughly am enjoying it and love that I can share novenas and pray together with my loved ones. One downside is every time I open the app I have to go to settings and login. It doesn’t keep me logged in for some reason. ### 5/5 — COMMENT *2026-04-20, version 4.4.0* I totally enjoy all the Novenas. And I love St Joseph with all my heart. Thank you all so very much for these Novenas! God bless! Thank you. Tonia Canonized Patron ### 5/5 — COMMENT *2026-04-13, version 4.4.0* I totally enjoy all the Novenas. However, in as much as I love St Joseph so dearly, I think the St Joseph Cloak Novena prayer has a lot of repetition which made the novena seem unnecessarily too long. Please look into it and streamline the novena where it will be brisk and enriching to the soul. Thank you. Tonia Canonized Patron ### 5/5 — Such a blessing *2026-04-12, version 4.4.0* Such a blessing to have this app. Thank you ### 2/5 — Won't stay logged in *2026-04-09, version 4.4.0* I just downloaded the app last night and started the free trial intending to go into the subscription in 2 weeks if I like the app. It logs me out every time I leave the app so my prayer reminders don't show up, nor the actual novena I scheduled until I log back in. I also can't update my profile photo, the app keeps suggesting it for an upcoming group feature, but I get error 130 every time. Fix this and I'm golden. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — BHAMELBACK *2026-02-06, version 4.3.1* I can’t login. It won’t accept my password. I reset password and it still won’t accept. No number to call for help. ### 1/5 — Should be free *2025-09-12, version 4.0.2* While the app is well designed and comprehensive, the idea of charging people for this is not in alignment with basic teachings about access to Christ. It’s a shame to see this. ### 1/5 — Intercede logo looks bad *2025-09-07, version 4.0.2* Intercede logo looks bad and don't Like being forced to update. Prior app had a cross logo and this one just has a big tan ugly capital Letter I ### 1/5 — App keeps failing *2025-05-06, version 4.0.2* Not sure what the issue is, but the app will be up for a couple of days then won’t work even after troubleshooting. So frustrating because it’s otherwise a great app. ### 1/5 — St Joseph novena. *2025-03-17, version 3.8.3* I don’t appreciate someone putting in an intention for the novena. I couldn’t change it to what I wanted to pray for. I won’t be using this app anymore!!! ### 1/5 — Only use this app if you’re an Opus Dei kind of catholic *2024-11-04, version 3.7.3* The modern novenas eg the election novena will have to be modified if you believe that women have the right to make our own reproductive choices. ### 1/5 — Updates *2024-10-17, version 3.7.1* I really hate the updates. And now I’m logged out on my phone and it’s not taking my password so I can’t login back on my phone. I don’t like the style of the bar across the bottom of the app I mean of the novena to show how far you are. Novenas that I have finished coming back up that I have not finished them and I don’t know how to fix it. I may have to find another app that’s working better. I pay for the upgrade also and it still doesn’t work right ### 1/5 — WARNING! No free trial *2024-09-10, version 3.6.3* They will charge you immediately even if you select FREE 14 DAY TRIAL! ### 1/5 — Pray app *2024-07-08, version 3.6.0* I have downloaded this app but it won’t open can you tell me why? ### 1/5 — Sad *2022-03-07, version 2.5.7* Very disappointed as you only have access to about 50% of the novenas. Then when you pray the free one to many time they lock you out and try to force you to purchase a membership to unlock everything at $30 a year. Very disappointed as there are wonderful site out there that brings God love to you each and everyday and around the world much more work than this site and it is free. Rather donate to an organization that truly has God’s beliefs and viruses than forced into a greedy scam. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2026-06-30, version 4.5.7* Keeps me on track with one or many novenas, super easy to use, much appreciated reminders, a multitude of choices making it a very useful tool for helping me to grow spiritually! ### 5/5 — INTERCEDE INTERCEDES *2026-06-27, version 4.5.6* I feel like this App does exactly that, it helps in an invigorating spiritual way. At first I did not pursue this App with the deep respect I have today, but through wonderful Novenas which has many, I love every bit of time spent here. I thank Intercede and wish them and everyone using the App as I know only good things can come from doing a daily Novena, since slowly but surely I recognize how vital is prayer and there’s where Intercede delivers in Aces. ### 5/5 — Such a blessing *2026-06-24, version 4.5.6* This app is a gem. Reminders, keeps me on track with my Novenas without missing a day. Such a blessing it has been to have it on my phone.
