Preached Word

Preaching is a foundational Redemptorist ministry and is at the core of our new digital evangelisation platform/mobile phone app called, The Preached Word. We are developing this high-quality digital platform as a new portal for Evangelisation. The app will host high-quality videos featuring various preachers and new voices from around Ireland. The internet is the core pillar of modern communication and mobile phones have now become the most important channel for internet access worldwide. The preaching platform will include a variety of people who are involved in ministry, social and justice issues, academic theologians, etc. who will reflect on various aspects of the Church and mission today in light of the Gospel. The platform will also foster a culture of Synodality particularly in giving voice to a wide variety of people and grounding the Church to the world outside its ecclesial space. The hope is that this platform will be a ‘go-to’ space that the public can log in and access in their own free time and at their own pace.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Preached Word at none against Writing's 1. Preached Word also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
