Mas agora, não é possível mais fazer as buscas, ele simplesmente fecha sozinho 😞 ### 2/5 — Nowhere near as much content as the website provides *2024-04-19, version 3.6* If you want to solely look for what Pope Francis writes, what he says in his audiences, access his previous writings, receive recent news from the Vatican, etc., then you can install this, but the website already has all of that, plus the writings from previous Popes. If you want to read anything from Benedict XVI or John Paul II for example, you have to go on the website anyways. If this was at all comparable to what the website has, then it would be an easy 5 stars, but it is incredibly limited in comparison. ### 3/5 — Incluir todas las encíclicas papales *2023-06-22, version 3.6* Seur una gran idea incluir todas las encíclicas de todos los papas así como toda la documentación tal y como está en el portal web. ### 4/5 — Incompleto *2021-05-03* Negli ultimi giorni non apre le varie notizie riportate alla prima pagina de bollettino quotidiano ### 4/5 — Great! BUT... *2021-03-26, version 3.6* It works well on computers, as it can be viewed in English, but on the app, (unless I’m wrong) I cannot change the language to English. Thanks! ### 2/5 — This App only has Pope Francis’ messages and writings *2020-11-30, version 3.6* I was looking for a comprehensive app that would have church documents from our rich history, but it stops in 2013. Very disappointed. ### 4/5 — Idioma español *2020-04-13, version 3.6* Por favor, pongan el idioma español ### 4/5 — Parabéns! *2018-08-10* Atualiza sempre as audiências gerais e novidades. ### 4/5 — Il campo di editazione per effettuare la ricerca all'interno dell'app è inaccessibile con Voisover. *2018-02-16, version 2.1.0* Purtroppo noi non vedenti non possiamo effettuare nessuna ricerca all'interno dell'app in quanto tappando due volte sul campo di editazione esso non si apre e non ci consente di scrivere. Per favore correggete questo grave bug e verificate che questa applicazione sia totalmente accessibile con Voisover. Grazie. ### 4/5 — Change language *2017-12-04, version 2.1.0* You can change language. Find the regular setting cog icon. Press and an option for language comes up. Easy ### 1/5 — Não funciona *2017-11-15* Não atualiza nem funciona mais a um bom tempo. ### 1/5 — Only the Italian version *2017-02-03, version 2.1.0* Downloaded this as I had it on an older iPad, but this version is Italian only. There seems to be no way to get an English translation. ### 3/5 — NON AGGIORNATA *2017-01-30, version 2.1.0* NON AGGIORNATA- o fate le APP E LE TENETE AGGIORNATE O INUTILE SPENDERE SOLDI E TEMPO ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — PECCATO *2025-05-01, version 3.6.4* Era una bellissima app ma Ora quando la si apre ti rimanda al sito web e non è più facilmente usufruibile come prima e non è più neanche chiara semplice e bella come era prima, per favore tornate a farla essere solamente un applicazione ### 1/5 — Problema *2024-11-28, version 3.6* Oltre la homepage c’è il nulla: non funziona ### 1/5 — DIMENSIONE CARATTERI *2024-07-24, version 3.6* purtroppo non si possono ingrandire i caratteri dei testi. Grave lacuna per noi ipovedenti ### 1/5 — Tecnicamente insignificante *2024-05-29, version 3.6* Grafica anni 90. News poco interessanti. - press releases istituzionali al limite dell’insignificanza assoluta e totale - pedofili e omosessuali nei seminari? siete in ritardo di 20 anni - utilizzabilità della sezione notizie pari a zero ### 1/5 — mejorar la accesibilidad con el lector de pantallas *2022-02-22, version 3.6* muy interesante aplicación, estaría genial que mejoraran la accesibilidad en el desplazamiento de las diversas opciones de la aplicación con el lector de pantalla VoiceOver ### 1/5 — problemi di accessibilità *2020-05-19, version 3.6* Si tratta di una bella e utile app, peccato che l'accessibilità con VoiceOver sia davvero scadente. I siti web dovrebbero rispondere a precisi standard di accessibilità ed è grave che in questo caso non se ne sia tenuto conto. ### 1/5 — L’applicazione non va *2019-12-10, version 3.6* Purtroppo da qualche tempo l’applicazione 2 volte su 3 non funziona: l’unica pagina che si apre è quella del menù, le altre, come detto sopra. Se si aprono rimangono vuote dei contenuti. ### 1/5 — limited home page and index *2019-06-28, version 3.6* This app seems to function more like the vatican news app... finding substantial documents is so laborious this app is practically saying “go find a better Catholic app”. The intent of this app seems to be just advertising the latest events; if this is not the intent, then the index should display more usable, practible content (documents, etc). ### 1/5 — App vecchia e.. *2018-12-02, version 2.1.0* ..non aggiornata, è una follia una app ufficiale del Vaticano, e non ci sono nemmeno i video dell Angelus del Santo Padre. ### 1/5 — Hasn't worked in several days! *2018-11-30, version 2.1.0* Links to specific detail have not worked in several days! Simply results in endless buffering. And still not working several months later. It’s fine on an iPad but not the iPhone. Endless buffering.... 10 months later and has stopped working again, for some weeks now. Non funziona da qualche settimane ne sull’iphone ne sull’ipad. Peccato ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A link to God in a Sea of sin *2024-11-18* I adore this app and the chance it provides to read homilies written by His Holiness the Pope! Some of the best writings one can read, not some third rate newspaper, I advise any Catholic or anyone interested in learning more about the Christian faith to download this unassuming application which can help you plunge into such mysteries, read the words of the impassioned (papal homilies), see the history of the blessings (virtual tours of the Vatican), and maybe know the waters of the passion. God bless you all and especially the Pope! ### 5/5 — Game Changer *2021-10-28, version 3.6* Wow! Just Wow. This app is convenient and intuitive. ### 5/5 — Updates and Organization *2020-06-24* Thank you to whoever is updating the General Audiences lately! They are being posted the same day given by Pope Francis, which is much more quickly than in the past. Also the topic of the talk (e.g., the current catechesis on prayer) is being listed along with the date, which is very convenient. Is it possible to do that for all past audiences, as well? And Angelus/Regina Caeli talks? Thank you! ### 5/5 — Muy buena app *2019-10-21, version 3.6* Hola. Para cambiar el idioma hay que ir a donde están las tres líneas en la parte superior izquierda de la app. (donde aparece el menú home, novedad, FAQ, video etc.) hay que picarle al engrane de configuración en la parte de abajo y ahí aparece la opción del idioma. ### 5/5 — Maravilloso *2019-08-27, version 3.6* Entras a impostazione y eliges la lengua. Hay como 8 idiomas para la aplicación. Realmente es increíble y utilísima. Renés un cúmulo de información que han tes había que ir a Roma para conseguirla y allí buscarla en cada oficina o dicasterio y ahora disponible para todo el mundo y para quien lo desee. GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS a los que lo han hecho posible. GRACIAS SEÑOR. ### 5/5 — Imprescindibile *2019-04-19, version 2.1.0* Conoscere, capire, riflettere il nostro tempo, il nostro cuore, un criterio, quello di una vita, di una esperienza che dura nel tempo ### 5/5 — Beautiful App! *2017-02-27* I love to read Pope Francis' heart-opening homilies ### 5/5 — Lenguaje *2015-07-18, version 2.1.0* Todo muy bien excepto por que no encuentro como poder cambiar de Italiano a Español...!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-07-11* You can select English as the language in settings....my version is in English ### 5/5 — Idiomas *2015-05-24, version 2.1.0* La app es excelente. La única contra que le veo es q no se puede poner en otros idiomas. O al menos yo no encontré como hacerlo...
