EWTN 4+

EWTN App latest release Dec 2020

Since posting the previous review, I have had a much better experience. The performance of the app is very consistent and unless I’m in an area with poor signal the audio on demand content loads without much delay.
I can’t recall if there was an app update sense my first review but the EWTN app is excellent.

Absolutely love EWTN and all of he great services they provide especially via the app. I I would have addressed the following via web developer link if such one worked/existed on the app. Please note I also have the most recent version of iOS (14.3) and as of this review. The only issue related to the mobile app is that those with limited internet access (ex poor cell signal or low bandwidth) may find the change to have one icon on the app’s home page for the On Demand content versus the previous separate ‘audio’ and ‘video’ icons to present performance issues in the loading of the list of available content. Basically if you want just audio or video or catalog content separately you will have to wait much longer for the page to load. I experienced a noticeable increase in time to load content and this despite having 2-3 bars of LTE signal. Additionally I have found the app may unexpectedly close when in the On Demand page.

EWTN app is great!

I have had this App for a long time. It is great when I travel, since EWTN is not on most hotel cable/satellite connections, I can always catch the wonderful shows. Also I often use the Rosary with Mother Angelica when I need some extra peace in my spirit; listening closely you can hear/feel the sister’s devotion to our Lord which brings such peace in this troubled world. Most probably can’t even imagine being contemplative or they think how great to not have to go in to the daily office/work environment. You really need to stop and learn what be a contemplative religious is. It is a truly rewarding life but it is a working life where one is totally dependent upon God for all they have. They have bills and payments to be made and managed but unlike you or I , no one has said here I will give you these many dollars for these many hours of work. So while they are praying for you, I and the world they still have to meet the obligations of this world to maintain this website and all its great abilities . I think it is just wonderful ! Doug R

No purchases needed for New Testament!

Some wrote a review that the New Testament dramatized had to be purchased. The normal reading is free and has some dramatization! There is a menu item that offers a “full dramatized New Testament” more like a Hollywood production but it is not advertised nor pushed, just a menu item. There is not one single advertisement nor any pop ups in this app. So I do not know what the other reviewer was reviewing. This app is beautiful designed, easy to navigate, works with all my blue tooth listening devices as well as all my vehicles so I can listen as I drive. It is seamless and descriptive for easy selection for what you’re in the mood for. Fr. Wade Menezes’ Tuesday live call in show is on there so I can keep up! As well as the other open line hosts. Also the best of Mother Angelica which even our teen boys laugh and enjoy listening while I am cooking in the kitchen. There is even a section you can rent or buy some of the best Catholic videos. All regular EWTN programs are free to watch and or listen to as always.
