God bless you! ### 5/5 — The right way to make an app *2024-01-17, version 1.0.2* This app complements the website perfectly with a highly intuitive and helpful user interface. Plus, due to the incredible content I can spend my time learning and growing in my faith instead of streaming Instagram and growing nowhere ### 5/5 — WOF *2024-01-15* Amazing space with lots of online courses and opportunities to connect with others in the Catholic faith. Rapidly growing ### 5/5 — Bishop Barron *2023-10-23, version 1.0.1* I have enjoyed and been stimulated by Bishop Barron’s Sunday sermons for the past two or three years. Now I have been fascinated by his presentation on the life of John Henry Newman. Any chance of one on Thomas Aquinas? ### 5/5 — Community is available! *2023-09-18, version 1.0* Been looking for community but hard to find near me. This is gonna be so great! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2024-09-28, version 2.0.0* Having signed-up for WoF, I was interested and excited to use the app. But after logging in once, after about 10 minutes it kicked me out. Now whenever I open the app, it defaults to a black screen with floating grey squares and ovals. Such a pity. ### 1/5 — Hh *2024-09-01, version 2.0.0* The app is just blurring after I open it and it is just showing blank now ### 1/5 — Layout is very confusing *2024-06-02, version 2.0.0* The new layout is very confusing and hard to follow. Courses are repeated in multiple categories. Previously completed courses are not captured correctly. The previous layout was better organized and much easier to understand. ### 2/5 — App stops working *2024-09-26, version 2.0.0* I love the app when it works. But it stops working. I’m forced to delete it and then redownload it every time I want to use it. Please fix. ### 2/5 — Please get this app right! *2024-07-14, version 2.0.0* I am at this app to work and it needs to be improved for iPad! Home page turns to portrait mode automatically. This is NOTA an app that will be used often on an iPhone. Second, only paragraphs can be copied and pasted in the app - not multiple paragraphs through click and drag. Thanks for doing this. ### 3/5 — More timely information *2026-08-18, version 3.6.0* I joined the word on fire Institute book club to study end of the affair. The first online discussion group was broadcast on August 11. That went well. But I have heard nothing about when successive discussions will be broadcast online. ### 3/5 — ipad version; keeps going into picture mode *2023-10-29, version 1.0.1* and I wish to keep it on the horizontal mode. ### 4/5 — Cast option *2026-06-22, version 3.4.1* I love the app but I’d an option to cast the content to my TV via Chromecast and other options so that I can better watch with my kids. Thank you ### 4/5 — Right Space *2024-03-06* I sincerely thank Bishop Robert Barron and the team WOF , because in these challenging times it is a blessing indeed to have a community to grow in Faith, Hope and Love through which we are to Evangelise the Culture! Glory be to God ! ### 5/5 — A Power House of Teaching *2026-06-23, version 3.4.1* In a time of deep confusion for so many, Word on Fire offers a response. They teach Truth. Thank you! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great content and layout *2026-05-28, version 3.4.1* As expected as everything Word on Fire does. Great content and layout in the app. ### 5/5 — Orthodox transforming teaching. *2026-03-17, version 3.2.0* God has used this ministry in my life to open my eyes to the tremendous richness of God’s truth. The lessons and the many skilled members of the ministry team are a great asset to the Church and the world. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2025-10-08, version 3.1.0* Exceptional and beautiful content aimed at deepening our Catholic faith and arming us to go out in the world and evangelize. The Institute does a terrific job at continuously providing new content by learned Catholic fellows. Very well done. ### 5/5 — WOF Videos *2025-10-06, version 3.1.0* I really don’t like the fact that when I press any button while watching any one of the videos, I cannot return the exact spot I left on the video. Often I find myself having to go back to square one and finding the video again and then trying to locate and restart at my place in the video. I don’t understand why there is no 5 second back or forward. That is very frustrating. Many times when go to restart a video I I have put on pause, I can’t reload it to a location a few minutes inside the video. I have to just play it until I get there. ### 5/5 — Holy Spirit *2025-09-05, version 3.1.0* What a wonderful world this will be if we all had the gifts of the Holy Spirit! To see the world as God sees it and to love our neighbor as God loves us would be all we could ask for. ### 5/5 — Amazing resource *2025-08-29, version 3.1.0* Word on Fire Institute provides a dept in its content that isn’t available anywhere else. For those looking for a daily devotional or a place to seek sound teaching on specific topics, this is the place to go. ### 5/5 — Bishop Barron’s The Mass *2025-08-21, version 3.1.0* One of the best courses that I have taken. I will revisit this course again and again. Thank you Bishop Barron. ### 5/5 — Wonderful Community *2025-06-03, version 3.0.0* This is the best Catholic app I have and it has helped me get to know and learn about my faith in countless ways. May God bless the Word on Fire ministries for years and years to come! ### 5/5 — An invaluable resource *2025-05-05, version 3.0.0* This app is an absolute game changer, well designed and full of great material. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
