## The Vatican News Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great app!"
Covers a vast range of news and information.
-- lunchisready115, 2021-10-28

### *---- "No Sound"
Can’t get any sound from the videos. Will wait to see if you do a bug fix before I delete.
-- SP 1958, 2019-05-03

### ***** "Please add liturgiae horarum!!!"
It would be much appreciated by us in the world if we were able to listen to the liturgiae horarum liturgy of the hours that is broadcast thrice a day on Vatican Radio in Latin. I already use feedly app to receive the rss feed of these but it would be nice to receive them with alerts in the Vatican radio app. 
To listen to the liturgy of hours chanted in latin everyday brings me peace in the world where the news tends to be negative or filled with angry opinions. I hope you can spread these to a wider audience and save more souls!
-- Clockmaker12'O', 2018-11-08

### ***-- "Not working"
Not working. Fix it, please.
-- 깊이에의강요, 2018-11-02

### *---- "Wrong wrong wrong"
I used this app for years to read the daily tweet from the Pope. And now, nothing. 
I’m not in social media because I despise it. Buy this was a good way to listen to God’s voice and find daily comfort. 
I hope this can be fixed!
-- kikarm, 2018-06-08

### **--- "What the Pope actually said"
I can’t find any source to go easily to read the Pope’s actually homilies and addresses. The old Pope App had the tab “Words of the Pope”, which was the only thing I used it for. There are a million sources if I wanted to read Pope Francis reported on or summarized. (Which he really doesn’t need anyways.) What doesn’t exist is one where I can go directly to what he said, and if it’s not the Vatican app, then where?
-- B2mhi, 2018-05-27

### *---- "This App Used To Be "The Pope App"... and much better... NO LONGER!"
This used to be "The Pope App" with lots of things to keep up with the Pope and things happening at the Vatican. It has gone downhill since its release 5 years ago.

News.VA has rebranded it and has done a terrible job of it and of maintaining this app. It was a nice app and a nice, novel concept. It's shameful they don't do a better job with this app considering what it ONCE WAS.
-- Knight Who Says "Ni!", 2018-02-09

### ***** "What happened"
I loved reading the Pope’s words filtered only through a translator. His words were unfailingly loving, relevant, and challengingly. Now there is only a blank screen. Does it need funding?
-- Reietta, 2018-01-30

### **--- "Needs an update"
The home screen no longer fills in with the Vatican news.  It’s just blank. I’m using the website now.
-- Prof090807, 2018-01-24

### ***** "Gave my Faith Back"
After forty years away, This little app brought me back to the Catholic Church. Each morning, I arose early and the first thing I did was open this app and read what the His Holiness had been doing with joy.  I used this as my devotional.

Now there is a blank screen. I do not know why, but I only hope that the lack of updates is not caused by the twisted use of social media by a few misguided others.
-- Silotree, 2018-01-23

### *---- "It was better"
This app Was much better. 
 The text has disappeared and the only thing that can really be enjoyed is the videos nothing else that matters is available.
I get better service from other sources then from this app. In my opinion it’s becoming useless.
 I tried to delete it and download it again thinking that I might be a problem with an update. But nothing happened much to my disappointment.
-- interessato, 2018-01-14

### *---- "Pass..."
This app RARELY works. Maybe once a month or so. That’s it. It’s bad. No updates. Seriously pass on this.
-- M@name, 2018-01-13

### ***-- "Worked, but broke now"
The app stopped loading the home page just before Christmas.  It appears the Vatican redesigned the web site to be mobile friendly and I'm guessing they no longer need the app.   The support link on the App Store takes you to the new site.  It looks great
-- Aguy4noRezon, 2018-01-11

### *---- "Home Button Not Displaying Info"
The Home Button has not been displaying information for weeks.
-- Royal Doulton1001, 2018-01-09

### *---- "Why does the app not appear?"
It's been a month without this app offering anything but a blank page. I ave greatly enjoyed its content and now miss it. I'll tried all I know to restore content. I hope you will do likewise. As it is , it is useless.
-- Frbpetro, 2018-01-04

### *---- "Useless"
You’re better off with a daily google search than this. It’s a novel idea, but its not realized in any meaningful way.
-- Jksoren82, 2017-12-27

### *---- "Pope app not updated"
So very disappointed in the app. Over 2 weeks since it has any news of the pope. Always looked forward to his sermons. Please update it daily. Why is this happening??
-- Mrs. MEAW, 2017-12-21

### ***** "Really Nice Way To Follow His Holiness."
For some reason the app no longer works. When you open it you only see a screen with pulsating rings. UPDATE 11/06/2017 - App works fine now. Must have been a server-side issue.
-- Michael_JL, 2017-11-07

### ***** "Nice app!"
Keep up the good work!
-- Taras81, 2017-09-01

### ****- "Great but a problem"
Great, but when seeing the twitter add on window, if you view the popes tweets, and go to retweet it with your own account it always exceeds the character limit.... maybe due to the picture that is automatically added by your app? I cannot manage to fix it. Please correct this.
-- VampzNet, 2017-06-23
