1. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

   Ads on this app were inappropriate. As soon as I opened the app to use it, provocative ads appeared at the bottom of the screen. No thanks.

2. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

   Disappointed. While the concept is good, the excessive amount of advertising makes it hard to enjoy. Unfortunately, it ends up being a disappointing experience, so I wouldn’t recommend it.

3. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

   Terrible. This used to be a good app until the creators became so greedy that it freezes up from the intrusive and inappropriate ads

4. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

   Blasphemous. Putting advertising in sacred text is blasphemous and shameful. The word of god should be spread without expecting compensation. Shameful.

5. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

   New Update ruined the app for me completely. The ads are very distracting. Especially when inappropriate ones are being shown😭💀

6. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

   Pop up adds. Unable to use the app because of their pop up adds

7. ★★★★★crashes and won't load

   Not a Catholic prayer by Catholic. When I open app I get messages like my phone needs installing battery low etc and the original Catholic apps like Hallow or others I have , they never have that type of messages .

8. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

   Can’t get past the ads.. After a while ads start popping up every 5 seconds. This app is not good. Try Laudate and Amen from the Augustine institute

9. ★★★★★crashes and won't load

   Problem. It states to update to get the widget, however there is no update option or instructions.

10. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

    Mandatory Advertisements?. Sad. Uninstalling this app. Too many adds.

11. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

    Can’t get past ads. The place to tap and close the add is under the clock in the upper fight hand corner. There’s no way to get rid of the ad, thus making this app useless.

12. ★★★★★crashes and won't load

    Missing prayers. Used to be a great app. Now half the prayers are missing. Fix it and I would be happy to change my review to five stars

13. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

    No so anymore. This app was great until they added the pop up ads. Now it’s practically useless.

14. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

    Ads!. Couldn’t you figure out an alternative way to generate revenue than to have pop up ads when someone opens a prayer? Opening a prayer when you feel you need to pray and getting smacked with an ad almost defeats the purpose.

15. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

    App would be great without all the ads. I wish I could pay to get rid of ads. Too many ads

16. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

    Ads are out of control!!!. This used to be the app we used for our Weekly Rosary group - ads are NOT family friendly, location of ads on a phone, navigate you to advertisers away from the mysteries during your Rosary. I hope I don’t have to uninstall, so many have benefited from it in the recent past! YBIC

17. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

    Was great and then they feared IOS 14.5. Was great but to get around the upcoming IOS upgrade 14.5 with privacy concerns they now have an ad or video every time you open the app and tell you can get out of the ads/videos by allowing tracking. Seriously! Why does a prayer app need to track you? Some of the ads are pretty sketchy too (gun ads?). If you want to be nagged every time you open the app to allow tracking then this app is for you. Not me! I’m out!

18. ★★★★★crashes and won't load

    Not working. Says “this app won’t work on jailbroken devices” when I open it. Used to love it though. And no, my device is not jailbroken. Already tried reinstalling, still doesn’t work.

19. ★★★★★crashes and won't load

    Prayers. I’m looking for prayers and nothing is coming up on the subject I’m looking for

20. ★★★★★feature requests

    Blue lettering is HORRIBLE. Please return to white lettering on dark back ground. Blue is too difficult to read. Bad idea.

21. ★★★★★shows non-catholic churches

    Not Catholic!. Beware, although containing many Catholic prayers, this app isn’t Catholic! In the articles section there is a documentary entitled ‘Bible-Bashing’ which states there are 66 books in the Bible. Indeed Protestant Bibles have only 66 after jettisoning 7 after Luther’s revolt. The ‘Find Nearby Churches’ brings up any ecclesial body calling itself a church.

22. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

    Whack a mole. So many pop ups. Ads on the bottom screen. Prompt to write a review every 30 secs (you finally got your wish). Constant badgering to activate notifications.

23. ★★★★★crashes and won't load

    No audio. I can’t hear the videos. Thought it was my phone and went to other apps and audio was fine.

24. ★★★★★crashes and won't load

    Not working for me. Downloaded a few times but never got to see anything except a banner across the top

25. ★★★★★wealth of prayers and closeness to god

    Prayers. This is very beneficial to me. Because every day I used to read as I waked up and before going to bed. And when travelling because it’s in my phone. This is amazing and so inspiring to read.

26. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

    Too many ads. Is it me or does anyone else gets crazy amount of ads that end up lock your screen and can’t go back? So frustrating

27. ★★★★★crashes and won't load

    For many months, on the iPhone 7 Plus and iPad Pro Retina, loading never ends. The operating system used is the latest updated. For an extremely long time, this App never finishes loading although I do not use jailbroken devices. It truly deserves zero star if possible. None of the updates you have offered have allowed users to end loading the App and use it. No solution is in sight. The App designer is unprofessional.

28. ★★★★★ads interrupt prayer

    Tomi. I have deleted the Prarthana app from my phone because advertisements kept popping up unexpectedly at a very loud volume. This happened several times during church services and prayer meetings. I understand that ads may be necessary, but sudden video and audio ads with such high volume are unacceptable. I will not recommend this app to anyone.

29. ★★★★★shows non-catholic churches

    Praying to other “ Gods”. Praying to angels, Mary and dead people “ Saints”, is gross idol worship - placing other Gods in place of God. Praying to dead people is trying to connect with dead people - which is Necromancy - who God says to never do.

30. ★★★★★crashes and won't load

    This app doesn’t work. I have tried to download on multiple occasions- my phone isn’t ‘jail damaged’ - no value - no plans to upgrade to a paid version on this basis.
