## Ascension Reviews in South Africa

### ***-- "Subscription amount to high for international"
Sadly I can’t make full use of this app due to the subscription cost being way to high in my country. It’s a real pity that such resources are gate locked behind money.
-- LaMerchie, 2024-07-01

### ***** "Daily Bible study and Catachism go to app"
This is the most amazing Catholic app to be developed in order to get to know God and what His plan for us is.  It has everything on one app in order to learn and to understand the Catholic faith better.  Thank you.  Ascension, Father Mike and Jeff Calvin, it will be my daily go to App.
-- Brigy62, 2023-08-08

### ***** "Dark Mode"
I absolutely love the app and I use it every day. The only thing I feel I’m missing is a possible Dark Mode for the interface, because reading scriptures etc from it at night is very straining on the eyes, and I do think a Dark Mode would be wonderful to add to this app.
-- JacquesS2001, 2023-07-14

### ***** "Brilliant 👏"
I love that this app has everything: Bible in a year , catechism in a year plus the Bible and catechism itself , Bible in a year companion. 🔥 have the transcript to read along. This app is well made and so easy to navigate ! We can tap into the verses for the day and it will take me straight to the Bible. Oh my I can’t stop talking about it haha ❤️❤️
-- Namitaaaaaa, 2023-07-09

### ***** "Review"
Amazing app, really well developed. Would be great if you could introduce a dark mode in a future update. Thank you.
