Reviews for Ascension: Catholic Bible

Wonderful resource to use for Ascension’s Bible in a Year and Catechism in a Year. I love that they added the daily readings and a short video to meditate on the Mass readings. I also love that the paid version of the app gives you access to several of Ascension’s wonderful studies such as Adventure […]

I originally left a bad review because I thought the $60 a year was a crazy price (I still think that), but updating to 4 stars because it is a really well made app and easy on the eyes to read daily. My one suggestion for 5 stars is adding an option to highlight/mark Bible […]

I am so excited for this app! It is fantastic to have both The Great Adventure Bible and Ascension’s version of the Catechism in a digital format. I am able to instantly pull them up when I’m having discussions of Fr. Mike “In a Year” podcasts. This afternoon, while waiting for my car (a few […]

This is my favorite Bible app, and it easily has the best online/digital Catechism. The Bible comes with all the same notes, cross references, commentary, and features of the physical Great Adventure Bible (which is also my favorite Catholic Bible). On top of this, you get Fr. Mike’s Bible in a Year podcast and Catechism […]

Perfect timing! I had been looking for an e-book Bible, and this one is free. I love that you can read or listen. No matter how many times Jeff Cavins says to make notes in your Bible, I can’t write in a book. I will be highlighting and writing notes all over this Bible ap. […]

I enjoy listening to the Bible in a Year, and the Rosary in a Year, but I have a lot of problems with the app. If I listen to an episode, it doesn’t mark it as listened to, so then it’s hard to remember where I’m at. If I try to listen to a second […]

This app is awesome! You can very easily listen to Fr. Mike read the Bible! You can also change audio playback speed. One suggestion I have for the devs is to only allow one book of the Bible to be expanded at a time. So essentially, when you expand a book when you already have […]

I am loving it so far!!! This is literally everything I need to keep up with my reading and study on the go. I’ve been wanting a good Catholic Bible app for a while. AND it has the Catechism, too?! This is now my my favorite Catholic app (tied with Hallow). My only request, as […]

This is a wonderful app. It’s one of my preferred Bible translations (I like the original RSV-CE a little bit more), it has the Catechism built in, and the notes are insightful and from authoritative teachers (Popes, scholars, etc). The UI is intuitive and easy on the eyes. The only thing I can think of […]

I loaded this application for the audio function of the app because I have dyslexia and it would help me learn the Bible better. Seem to work well with the Bible. Unfortunately the audio doesn’t work for the catechism section of the readings. You have switches to turn on but no audio to play. Very […]

I have needed something offering The Bible in a Year & The Catechism in a Year all in one easy to use place. Listening to those podcasts on other platforms was possible before now, but filtering through other podcasts sometimes caused a distraction I didn’t need. I also like the availability of the entire Bible […]

This App is wonderful when it works. I have had to uninstall and reinstall it too many times! It also takes a long time to load compared to my Hallow App. I feel guilty even writing this review, but I am a day behind in The Rosary in a Year Podcast and the app is […]

An essential Catholic app. It has both the entire Bible and Catechism. They are both very clean to look at, and were digitaly transformed perfectly. I understand why they had to have a subscription service for the extra info from a business standpoint. Other than that, it is still overflowing with useful info. I am […]

Very good This is a good app. I think I like this better than the paper edition. I prefer the Catholic edition Revised Standard version to the Protestant version. I am thinking of buying about 3 hard copies to give as gifts. I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian, by conversion, and don’t see myself being […]

I love the Bible in a Year and Rosary in a Year, and have previously listened on spotify. Even though Fr. Mark Mary claims that the Ascension app is the best place to listen, there is zero benefit in listening through this app. It does not keep track of your progress. You have to manually […]

I was so excited for this app, and it did not disappoint! The Bible and the Catechism in one place?! Brilliant! I LOVE the clickable cross references. The one “issue” I have experienced, is at the end of Bible chapters the last line or two gets cut off before scrolling up to jump to the […]

I really love this app. I very much appreciate having all the Bible and Catechism resources in one place. The layout is clean and easy to follow. Both podcasts pick right up where I left off so big plus there. For me, it’s missing two things which hold it back at 4 stars. Please add […]

I love the ascension app. There is so much content to choose from. I listen to several things each morning as I get ready for work and sometimes more in my car. I’ve done Bible in a year and catechism in a year, and now I’m going back to do Bible in a year again […]

The app is okay, it needs some help. It almost always lags when you want to pause a podcast or rewind or anything like that. It doesn’t have an option to continue playing the next episode automatically without manually starting it. Sometimes it will randomly start playing the next episode but it’s a glitch and […]

I really like this app a lot. It’s easy to use. I even subscribe so that I can get the various Bible studies. Why just 4 stars? It does not accurately track my progress. When I listen to BiaY, it ALWAYS leaves me with a few seconds left, usually around 15, even though I listened […]
