This app is awesome if you wanna have a better relationship with God and/or Jesus!! My dad had paid for the family plan and I had never started using it until this week actually. I wanted to improve my relationship with God, because I was scared of demonic possession and stuff involving that. I was questioning God’s protection over me and that got me really worrying. I realized that God will always protect me from evil things. So, I have been listening to a little podcast on this app, narrated by Jonathan roumie who played Jesus in The Chosen TV show. I have started with the beginning sessions and I really like them so far, and plan to keep listening to them every single day. I want you all to know that God is there for all of you! A lot of people tell me they need to see things to believe them, but that’s not true for God. Just because you can’t see him doesn’t mean he isn’t there. Same with Jesus . You can’t see him but he’s there just like God is. It’s called faith, and you should have it for God and Jesus. There is this poem about a guy who is walking on a beach and going through a hard time. He feels as if God isn’t there with him, but he quickly sees that’s not true. All of a sudden there is another set of footprints and it’s God carrying him. That’s just an awesome story to show you that God is there for everyone. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. Download this app if you need God and Jesus!

A less significant feature of the Hallow app is that your profile will tell you how much time you’ve spent using it. After a 3-month trial and one year of subscription, I have used Hallow for 30,152 minutes. That’s 502.5 hours, somewhwere just north of an hour a day. Much of that time I spent completing Catechism in a Year and Bible in a Year with Father Mike Schmitz, but I have also learned to pray the rosary, learned about saints and other people who struggle just like me with living a life of faith, listened to daily mass readings, and learned anout the gospel through exegesis. At the annual sunscription rate, this has cost me under 14 cents per hour. That’s the accounting side of it. What I can’t quantify is how much this has helped my spiritual formation. I signed up for a trial because I was in RCIA and found myself wanting more. This app, like many other blessings we receive, was much more than I asked. Little chunks of time here and there - 10 minutes in the car between my daughter’s school and my office, 20 minutes on the drive home, 30 minutes before bed with the Bible or the Catechism - it adds up to 30,152 minutes of time, but so much more - ears that can hear, eyes that can see, and a heart that can feel the Holy Spirit. Hallow has helped me along my journey home, and that is a pearl beyond price.

Before Hallow, my spiritual life was unorganized and reactive. I'd attempt to have quiet time with the Lord, but would be interrupted by my children or my own thoughts. 30 minutes would go by and I'd feel so defeated that I couldn't even make it through one prayer without becoming distracted.My husband gifted me a subscription 2 years ago and it's now a recurring Christmas gift from him (I can't imagine anything better). Now, my thoughts and prayers are cohesive because the guidance from the app keeps me on track. I've learned so many new prayers that I never knew before, and I can "whip them out" in the middle of whatever chaos might be going on in our day. If my toddler comes in the room during my quiet time, he doesn't have to leave. He understands quiet time now and loves to listen and pray with me. He even requests Hallow in the mornings now! The "Kids" feature has been such a blessing. If you're a busy mom or a busy anybody, Hallow is an amazing app you won't regret. I've recommended it to everyone I meet who mentions a struggle with their prayer life. It has truly helped change my life for the better. Thank you, Hallow!

Hallow is great for anyone who wants to dive deeper in their Catholic prayer life, especially once you get past the paywall. You learn and listen to all sorts of prayers and Scriptural analyses. However, there could be a few things that would make it better. One is the ability to share the Hallow subscription with others, like having each person have a different account like Netflix or sharing the subscription through the Apple Family subscription feature. It’s much more convenient for me and my family instead of paying for individual subscriptions for multiple people. Another thing that would make the app great is having more Liturgy of the Hours things, at least outlined clearly. The Compline is something I pray every night, and I want to get more into “the prayer of the Church” by having the morning, afternoon, and evening prayers on the app. A final thing that would make this app better is to have curated playlists of Christian rock and metal music. While pop and praise and worship are popular, some folks, such as myself, can find it almost boring, and find it impossible to find rock and metal music that praise the Lord. I know of exists, but it would be so much better if it was curated on something like Hallow. Again, I adore this app, I just have some improvement ideas for it.

I was charged for the premium app 6 days ago, and only noticed the charge 3 days ago. I had planned to upgrade to the premium content, but had some unexpected expenses so I decided to wait. I’m not sure how the charge went through without a receipt, but I decided that I wanted to participate in the new challenge. I was not able to access the premium content, however which included the challenge. I had a second account so when looking through the support section of the app, I learned that I needed to merge my accounts. I did this 3 days ago and lost all of my saved progress and notes which I read that I would not. Worst of all, I still can’t access any of the premium content that I was charged for! I sent a request for support and received an email back with a link to “Speak to a Human”. When I clicked on that I got a message that my request for a refund is under review. I tried to access the support section of the app, but that section has had a note that it’s down and can’t be accessed now for 2 days! I’ve sent multiple emails to support with no answer. I either need the app to work and be able to access the premium content or a refund which says may take 6 months to resolve. Terrible service!

My husband and I had both been looking for something to help our evenings wind down better with God. The daily readings are amazing. This app has a lot to it (reflection space, mood tracker, prayers for moods, daily gospel, rosary based on daily mysteries, bed time gospel stories, a kids zone that does stories and prayer how to based on age, music center, chants, prayer session challenges and more.) I started to use it to help me get my rosary in the mornings like I have been wanting to do. You can set routines into your phone to help carve time out of your day for God as well.My only recommendation to the developers is to add the transcript in on the sessions. This would be helpful for 3 reasons. 1) New Catholic’s learning prayers and how things work no matter the age 2) To help when the mind is overly active to give something else to focus and help ease into the meditative process 3) Meditation can be great for relaxing or stimulating to wake up. With how things are currently set up, there is a lot of focus of relaxing versus stimulating to the day. Words on the screen can help be part of that stimulation. Keep up the great app! Can’t wait to see what all you add!

I haven’t opened the app yet. Recently I’ve been going through a tough time with the relationship I’m in. I’m 18 years old and I was raised Christian. Religion is something I’ve struggled with through out my short time here on earth but I’ve always known god was real. Recently my partner and I have hit a road block in our relationship and it’s my fault, my doing. I decided to pray, I prayed for forgiveness and I even prayed for that today but I also asked him, if it’s his will forgive me, if it’s his will allow me to have a second chance, you promised me love from the moment I was born. I promise you this, regardless of the outcome, I will be closer to you, I will choose you, I will love myself as you chose to love me. Then I started watching the videos of Cliffe Knechtle, I found them inspiring. Then I prayed again, and said thank you lord. Then I saw the ad for this app with the man who plays Jesus in the The Chosen, and instead of skipping the ad, I listened and what hit me the most was a part where he said, “Come on, let’s come close to God.” And I chose to download this app because I made a promise.

I am closer to god than I ever have been because of Hallow. This app is well worth the subscription. I have used it for months with and without paying and notice a significant difference in my time in prayer and the quality of my prayers. The challenges they do scratch my itch for learning while also pushing me and challenging me to be the best version of myself. They are INCREDIBLY well done. Taught by experts in the church and notable figures. This app is genuinely vital in my journey with God. I use the rosary, the daily readings, and whatever challenge is on every day. When I have time I’m doing the “bible in a year” and the “daily saints” lessons. This is only scratching the surface of what can be done with the app. The reflections after each lesson, doing intentions and creating your own Novenas to share with the community is wonderful as well. So well thought out and intuitive. It’s worth cancelling one of your streaming subscriptions to budget the ~$50-something annually this app is. It’s a high production program, not a plunked together app.

This app has transformed my prayer life! I was hesitant to pay the $$ at first, but after giving it a try through a free trial, I have found it well worth it! There are so many different prayer and meditation options for many circumstances. At times I find it overwhelming with the many options, but I love that there are so many and that they are continually being uploaded and updated. My only minor complaint and suggestion is a technical one. When browsing through the many lists, if you hit “back” it will take you all the way back to the home screen instead of the previous page you were on. This can be frustrating as the many lists are like navigating a labyrinth at times, and if I was simply trying to browse the various novenas, for example, I have to go all the way back to the beginning each time I hit “back” and navigate the labyrinth again. This seems like it would be a simple technical fix from the developers of the app and would make it much easier for the users.

I have recently struggled with anxiety, which does not help me when I have to sleep. I always went to bed crying because of my anxiety. In my school, the teachers and some students used this app so I decided to get it. The moment I got it I realized this WAS the app that I needed for my mental help. This definitely worked/helped me get better, even though I still struggle with anxiety it’s gotten better. Going to a catholic school for my whole life also helps me. But this app helps me get ready for masses, listen to GOOD music, and say my intentions. The way this is like an online-bible is just crazy! I never thought there was an app where you could do all this stuff, but just with a quick prayer, and a quick song on my way to Church definitely brightens up my day. I deffo- recommend for people that are struggling, or just need to connect with God. Thanks to all the developers and all the people who worked hard to make an app that helps people, and is still fun for all ages. ✝️ may God bless whoever read this, have a wonderful day or night
