Dobro došli na mobilnu aplikaciju Hrvatske katoličke mreže pokrenutoj kako bi na jednom mjestu mogli pratiti najvažnije vijesti iz života Crkve, ali i šire. U eri lažnih vijesti, negativnosti i površnosti, želimo biti medij u kojem ćemo sukladno socijalnom nauku Crkve dati doprinos evangelizaciji, promicanju istine i dijaloga te otvaranju tema od općeg interesa. Temelj ove aplikacije je Hrvatska katolička mreža i njezine sastavnice Hrvatski katolički radio i Informativna katolička agencija koji su ustanovljeni od Hrvatske biskupske konferencije. 30-tak djelatnika, urednika i novinara te 70-tak vanjskih suradnika svakodnevno pokriva vijesti iz zemlje i svijeta te obrađuje informacije i dokumente o svim zbivanjima sa socio-religijskoga gledišta crkvenog i vjerskog života. Razvojem Hrvatske katoličke mreže, a koristeći potencijale digitalnih medija, kao katolički medij želimo se približiti „živoj“ Crkvi i podržati njezine inicijative, promovirati duhovne i kulturne sadržaje te ekološku održivost. Uz niz informacija, ova aplikacija, korisnicima će omogućiti i brojne pogodnosti kod partnera HKM-a.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HKM at none against FT Digital Edition's 2. HKM also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.6). FT Digital Edition's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

HKM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FT Digital Edition has 3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
HKM ships an update every 2 months, FT Digital Edition every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
