    Stumbled across this and downloaded it right away. Pretty excited to be able to have and hold the small catechism everywhere I go. I already used it once while waiting in line with my five year old to run through the commandments.

    Please implement an option for Dark Mode in this app – for people with vision challenges, this is an accessibility issue, not just a visual preference. Thanks! Also, it would be great if the "Language" section in settings provided an option for the earlier 1943/1965 English translation, to complement the 1986 English text in the current version. Finally, the “Data Used to Track You” section is rather concerning. Why does this app work so hard to track the user, who may be a child?
  • Unhappy.

    Now I don’t usually leave reviews but this one just rubbed me wrong. Really un-happy with my app experience and do not think it’s biblical to sell it. It just reminds me a lot of what Paul wrote to the Corinthians. Can’t remember where but it’s early on In 2 Corinthians and he emphasizes not being peddlers of God’s word, but out of sincerity. Now I understand if it’s to cover the cost of running an app since those are expensive. But couldn’t they just put a donate button within the app. Other than that great user friendly interface.

    The paywall is very unfortunate. Monetizing on this seems tacky.
  • Paywall isn’t a good look

    It’s not too expensive to pay for the whole app, but then why not make the whole app that way? Why give the out the bare minimum for free? It’s frustrating that the reason to download the app - the explanations to the catechism - isn’t freely available. This, among other things, makes it seem like mammon is high on CPH’s priority list, unfortunately
  • Can’t even purchase the explanation

    For what it’s worth, this app gets the job done for the most part if you need a quick look at the catechism. But the point of downloading it myself was so I could have a digital version with explanation, and I can’t even purchase it even if I wanted…
  • App keeps crashing on my iPad

    This app is good, but you have to pay money to see the explanations. The explanation of God’s word should be free to everyone.
  • Good app

    I really like the app... it is great to have access to this on the go. But why would you have the purchase option blocking access to the Means of Grace section? Of all sections, why block that... seems like a sales strategy John Tetzel would have designed 😅.
