ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Manna | Catholic Content holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manna | Catholic Content has 37 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Manna | Catholic Content's written reviews are positive against 50% of myParish's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Manna | Catholic Content ships an update every 2 months, myParish fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
