I tried Hallow a couple of times, but it just wasn’t what I was craving in a Catholic prayer app. This Sanctifica app has actual substance to it. I learn something new every time I use it. THANK YOU to whoever put it together! ### 5/5 — TLM *2026-06-08, version 2.4.0* Best app to grow in the traditional Catholic faith! ### 5/5 — Sanctifica *2026-06-04, version 2.3.3* What a awesome blessing ### 5/5 — Terrific *2026-06-01, version 2.3.3* I love it.

It offers an extensive set of valuable resources for traditional Catholics, with the added benefit that you can access them anywhere. And the content continues to expand with each new release. The developers are very responsive to user enhancement requests and tech support is outstanding. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this wonderful review! 🙏 We’re very grateful that Sanctifica has become part of your daily spiritual life. We still have a long way to go but hearing that the content, support, and ongoing improvements are moving the needle, means a lot to us. Please help spread the word about this apostolate ✝️ and know we’re always only an email away at feedback@sanctifica.com. God bless! 😊 ### 5/5 — A True Treasury of Tradition *2026-05-09* Sanctifica has become an essential part of my daily prayer routine. The inclusion of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a beautiful addition for anyone looking to sanctify their day. I particularly appreciate the high-quality recordings of the Rosary led by Bishop Athanasius Schneider—it feels like being led by a true shepherd. Beyond the audio, having the Lives of the Saints available every morning provides great daily inspiration, and the novena alerts ensure I never miss an important devotion. The absolute highlight, however, is having access to the works of Dom Guéranger. It is truly a treasury of Sacred Reading and a must-have for those who love the liturgical traditions of the Church. **Developer response:** Thank you sincerely for this beautiful and thoughtful review! 🙏 We’re very grateful to hear that the Little Office of the BVM, Bishop Athanasius Schneider’s Rosary, Dom Guéranger’s works, and the other content in Sanctifica have been so helpful to you. We still have many things we hope to continue building and improving over time, so thank you as well for your patience and support. Your encouragement genuinely help this apostolate move forward. God bless! ### 5/5 — Great App for traditional Catholicism *2026-05-08, version 2.1.0* I have enjoyed this app. It helps with prayers, novenas, feast days, and even with finding the Traditional Latin Mass. For regaining tradition into the Catholic Church again, this app makes it. May the Christ Child be with you. ### 5/5 — Jesus is King ✝️👑 *2026-05-07, version 2.1.0* ✝️👑🙌 ### 5/5 — Magnifique *2026-05-05* Excellente application, complète, intuitive et surtout extrêmement utile ! **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil message !

God Bless ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-05-26, version 2.3.3* Have been waiting for authentication for 15 minutes with just the continuous spiral… ### 1/5 — Various issues *2026-01-21, version 2.0.5* Feedback button doesn’t work Gets stuck on yesterday’s date Can’t hear at >1.0 on Uconnect ### 1/5 — Cashgrab *2025-11-24, version 2.0.1* They shut down the “Vetus Ordo” app, that was completely free and even had more stuff than Santifica, better mechanics and more complete just to do a new one, half baked and now with a subscription service. This is just a spit on the face of catholics, this is property of the Church, making it a subscription service is awful. Ask for donations and I’ll give them $100 every month, but don’t force me to pay something you don’t own while you shut down the other app, that was way better and FREE. Shame on you! ### 1/5 — Thanks for ruining my routine *2025-11-17, version 2.0.1* Really nice job putting the martyrology audio behind a paywall. Unbelievable. ### 1/5 — Prayers *2025-09-15, version 1.6.2* Your prayer tab is still bad. You need to fix it. ### 1/5 — Incomplete prayers *2025-06-09* I was excited when this app first came, but it seems the creator got overwhelmed, and now there are many issues: 1) Some voiceover prayers are incomplete. An example is the Anima Christi, the voiceover Latin prayer, which is incomplete. Not all the prayers are included. 2) Some prayers do not have a voiceover. Having a voiceover is helpful, especially when listening to it while driving. An example is the Prayer for St. Micheal. 3) The rosary does indicate the days of the mysteries. It would be helpful to those who are new to Catholic prayers. 4) It is better to included the Litany of Loreto in the roesary since we are asked ng for the intercession of the Holy Mother. ### 1/5 — Poor not complete *2025-02-09, version 1.2.41* Thus so does not show the entire liturgy but only the things different ### 2/5 — Meh *2026-01-28, version 2.0.6* Barely can do anything without subscribing first I don’t recommend ### 2/5 — Was the paywall due to not being able sustain the app? *2025-11-19, version 2.0.1* I understand the changes if it was out of genuine need, but please be transparent with your supporters. From what I see on the patreon the guy was excited to release the changes but didn’t say why they did so. Also, it was pretty excessive making the calendar basically unusable now. ### 2/5 — Premium Features *2025-11-16, version 2.0.0* I loved this app before the premium features update. However since the update things that used to be free are now locked behind paywall. Want to tick completed can’t do that anymore. Want to listen to certain audio can’t do that anymore. Otherwise great app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No modernism here *2026-08-18, version 2.4.3* This app is truly a gift to the Latin Mass community. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-01, version 2.4.3* I’ve never learned more about the Saints than I have in the Novus Ordo. I appreciate the Saints Day. There’s still so much more to learn about them. I wish there was a reflection on the Daily Reading in the app. ### 5/5 — The best traditional App *2026-07-30, version 2.4.2* This is truly an amazing way to learn about the Catholic faith. I love reading the Divine Office daily, reading about the Saint of the day…so many beautiful prayers, novenas and…one of my favorite…the rosary in Latin with Bishop Athanasius! I highly recommend it!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-29, version 2.4.2* Makes it easy to pray daily rosaries. Novena resource is top notch. ### 5/5 — Best App EVER for TLMers!!! *2026-07-29, version 2.4.2* This app, hands down, beats all others of it’s type. Setting up a daily Rule of Life is THE KEY to spiritual growth. This app eliminates the need for much of a physical (book-based) library and keeps everything at your fingertips - literally! If you can afford it upgrade to the paid version. And TLMers, let’s support this wonderful apostolate. ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-07-26, version 2.4.2* Very good app, I wish the prayers novenas option in LATIN, thank you for the great work SALVE REGINA ### 5/5 — A Grace *2026-07-12* A truly impressive app, especially if you want to follow the liturgy of the year. I so appreciate that it is in English and Spanish so both my husband and I can use it easily. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted that both you and your husband are able to enjoy Sanctifica in English and Spanish. Since we've only been live for over a year, we still have a long journey ahead of us, especially when it comes to expanding languages and content. Your encouragement means a great deal to our small team. Thank you for being part of the journey, and God bless! ### 5/5 — The perfect prayer app *2026-07-10, version 2.4.1* I’m so grateful for this beautiful app! I was looking for something more traditional and less busy than the Hallow app. It is organized and simple while still having plenty of resources. I love having the ability to set up my prayer routine and keep track of it throughout the day. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-07-02, version 2.4.1* Statistics don’t work, and it would be nice to edit data in the future. Other than those items it’s an amazing app. ### 5/5 — Beautiful! *2026-06-17, version 2.4.1* Beautiful app for those who love the sacred nature of the traditional calendar. The daily routine is amazing, this app is like hallow but significantly better, you have rosaries, novenas, daily prayers, just a phenomenal job by the developers. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
