### 2/5 — Anna Maria J.

*2023-03-02, version 1.4*

No news, blank screen except for some titles in bottom of the screen. Seems to have stopped working.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2022-08-07, version 1.4*

Doesn’t seem to work anymore. Nothing loads.

### 1/5 — Abandoned app

*2021-07-04, version 1.4*

App doesn’t provide info anymore.   Support link points to 404 page.    It seems pewsitter still exists in other media though.    Don’t bother installing.

### 1/5 — Broken for iPadOS 2021 June

*2021-06-24, version 1.4*

stuck at opening notice screen with incorrect resolution and no skip button

### 5/5 — Review

*2020-02-22, version 1.4*

In one word, Excellent!

### 5/5 — My favorite app!

*2020-02-21, version 1.4*

Always the most comprehensive of all the Catholic news.  I start the day with the Pewsitter!  Awesome app.

### 5/5 — Pewsitter App

*2019-11-29, version 1.4*

Handy app to have. Lots of links to stories you wouldn’t otherwise know about. I wish they would add Credible Catholic to their list of Catholic links. It’s a great educational website.

### 4/5 — GREAT APP

*2019-09-10, version 1.4*

This is a great app for following news and events that are significant and of interest. 
I would not want to be without this information.  
Often I find stories here that other news outlets have overlooked or have given very limited attention. 
Thank you!

### 2/5 — Freezing & disappearing App

*2019-02-24, version 1.4*

Please fix this app ! It’s not user friendly! 
It’s so hard to use. It’s hard to follow stories!

### 3/5 — Constant freezing and redirects

*2018-09-10, version 1.4*

I consider this app extraordinary because it opens the user to many links that most Catholic web surfers are probably not aware of. It is extraordinary. 
Nonetheless, this app constantly breaks down, leaves commas and apostrophes out, dumps you into to the App Store, freezes, or presents a blank screen. 
Please, please fix this app!
