*2022-05-31, version 4.6.2*

Good Evening,
I have a question…
As a parish..  why are we not praying for the people in Texas.   & all the dear children that were killed this week….
Especially at Sunday Mass as part of all the special prayer intentions….

They certainly need all our Love  Support and. Prayers…

Thank you,
Jeannette Trygar

### 3/5 — Rosary

*2022-05-09, version 4.6.2*

What happen to the audio rosary?

### 3/5 — Readings

*2021-09-18, version 4.6.2*

How do you get the correct readings for Saturday afternoon Mass?

### 4/5 — Perfect for the pandemic

*2021-03-17, version 4.5.0*

Our parish launched our App during the pandemic which I think was one of the great blessings. We are a rural parish and many people are older and still don’t care to use technology, however many of our parishioners used the app to keep in touch during our many lock downs. They really enjoy getting all the messages and keeping up with what is going on at the church. This is a great communication tool!

### 5/5 — MyParish App

*2020-11-24, version 4.4.2*

Great app for all.  Options meet the needs for families and individuals. I utilize the prayers and confession buttons regularly. The bulletin and message buttons keep me up-to-date on parish events.

### 5/5 — Daily liturgical colors

*2020-10-28, version 4.4.0*

The app is wonderful. Would the developers of the app consider somehow including the daily liturgical colors for each day to assist Sacristans may looking for the daily liturgical colors for setting up for the Mass?

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2020-08-24, version 4.4.0*

Everything about this app is well done.  It has everything in one spot which makes it so useful.  I hate to ask... but If only there were settings or an update could make the font a little bolder!  I find it very hard to see the “Inspire Daily,” for example, because the font is light and there is a background behind it.    Thanks for a helpful app.

### 5/5 — Saint Catherine Laboure

*2020-05-04, version 4.3.9*

Thank you for this site. It is very convenient to have prayers available
on my phone no matter where I am
or when.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2026-03-03, version 4.7.0*

I am unable to get past the sign in page!

### 1/5 — Won’t update my date of confession

*2024-06-23, version 4.6.9*

App has gone wonky. When I update my date of last confession to July 1 it says my date of last confession was 12 months ago instead of 3 days.

### 1/5 — Not all Catholic Churches in area on app

*2024-03-06, version 4.6.8*

1 star rating-I am disappointed that my church advertise using the app but when I went to locate my parish, my parish was not included on the app. I sent an inquiry to ask why but never got an answer. After checking every month for half a year to find my parish, I’m deleting this app from my phone!

### 1/5 — App requires sharing one’s birth date

*2023-07-10, version 4.6.8*

App requires sharing one’s birth date. Any app that insists on sharing personal identifying information is not worth having.

### 1/5 — Won’t update my date of confession

*2022-07-03, version 4.6.2*

App has gone wonky. When I update my date of last confession to July 1 it says my date of last confession was 12 months ago instead of 3 days.

### 1/5 — Great when it worked

*2021-03-22, version 4.5.0*

I used this all the time but it won’t change to other parishes now. Tried deleting it and reinstalling but nothing helps.

### 1/5 — Glitchy and no help

*2021-02-19, version 4.4.5*

This has great promise, but it has a number of glitches beginning with not recognizing my password, the password reset not working, and no user help.

### 1/5 — Compatibility with current iOS

*2019-11-30, version 4.3.6*

Very disappointed when found out this app is not compatible with the new iOS, 13.2.3. It’s launched for 5 seconds then quit. It works fine before! The last update was 6 months ago.

### 1/5 — The apple blows up on apple device

*2019-11-29, version 4.3.6*

Started happening the day before Thanksgiving

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2019-05-29, version 4.3.6*

First the app logs me out automatically, then I try to log back in with my face-ID saved password and it doesn’t work anymore. No, haven’t changed my password. I then reset the password and login with the password YOU’VE sent me; it logs me in but forces me to change the password, every time I do it just keeps saying “Password reset failed.” What gives? Deleting app now 🤷🏻‍♂️

### 5/5 — My Parish APP

*2023-06-15, version 4.6.8*

This is the best app for churches that I’ve have ever seen. It so awesome it every thing that I need to know about my Parish. It is so friendly useable I think everyone in a parish should have this app. Exactly if you have a cellphone this app will be with you every where you go. I so appreciate having it.

### 5/5 — MyParish App

*2023-06-04, version 4.6.8*

Great app for all. Options meet the needs for families and individuals. I utilize the prayers and confession buttons regularly. The bulletin and message buttons keep me up-to-date on parish events.

### 5/5 — MyParishApp

*2023-05-05, version 4.6.8*

MyParishApp is a great
Way to communicate not only to your parishioner's but also to your church community. I use it constantly to understand what mass times are as well as to view church bulletins of surrounding church’s.

### 5/5 — This app gives you everything you need for your parish

*2023-04-06, version 4.6.8*

It has everything including the daily readings. Whether you are in church or meditating at home, you can read the readings. Also gives you messages from the parish. It has links to the parish giving. It has a link to the diocese. And many many more things that you wouldn’t even think of.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-04-01, version 4.6.7*

So nice to have everything in one place. I also love getting special messages or alerts from my parish. One of our priests was recently hospitalized and I was able to receive updates about him through the app. So grateful for that.

### 5/5 — Essential for getting the most from my church

*2021-03-15*

This App has helped me so much since I began using it. It has so many features.  
Connecting with the web cam day or night is my favourite. Then there is the newsletter the bulletin at my fingertips.  Messages from the Pastor or group leader is a great and friendly feature too.

### 5/5 — Use it often

*2021-02-07, version 4.4.4*

It’s amazing to me to be able to see my top 5 parish info at a “touch of a button.”  

I had all these bookmarks organized on a tab on my iPhone, but this is 10 times better because I can see bulletins, Mass Times, addresses, phone numbers etc. And with notifications on, I can see a message from a parish when they have an announcement or a confession time change.  When the Pastor or Admin staff use it, it has been an incredible tool to keep me up to date on changes when churches open or close especially during this lockdowns due to the Pandemic.

I also enjoy the quick prayer list and quick reference to daily scripture.

Many parishes have websites, emails, phone calls or voicemail systems to contact people, but this can be used as a COHESIVE system of communication for all mediums.

Excellent app! I’m grateful two parishes had volunteers “walk” us through how to set it up at the end of a Mass to get all Parishniors on board. That’s how I learned you could set up multiple locations which is awesome when you travel a lot.

It’s a lifesaver for keeping all the latest info in one place specific to church info.

Kudos to the creative team.
