The Vatican News

Covers a vast range of news and information.

Can’t get any sound from the videos. Will wait to see if you do a bug fix before I delete.

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!

Not working. Fix it, please.

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!

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?

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.

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?

The home screen no longer fills in with the Vatican news. It’s just blank. I’m using the website now.

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.
