What are some of your favorite **Catholic phone apps** , either on _Android_ or _iPhone_? Mine, on Android from the Play Store, are _ **My Catholic Life** _ and _ **Amen** _. ---

![Apps for Catholic Christians](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/catholic365/original/2X/0/0c4a01a9864b7c3da7e94cdb7da65cbeee7680bd.jpeg) Of these, the Apps that I currently use the most are in this order: 1. Catena (Simply read the Bible with the Early Church Fathers!) 2. Orthodox Study Bible (not Catholic, but very nice Bible App) 3. Truthly (Apologetics A.i.) 4. Laudate (Saints of the Day, Daily Readings, Catholic Prayers & Devotionals) 5. MassTimes (Great for when you are on vacation or business trips!) ---

MassTimes (Great for when you are on vacation or business trips!) Thanks for sharing. I’m using the latest **Android** version as of today. I was able to install both _Truthly_ and _Orthodox Study Bible (OSB)_ apps from the **Google Play Store**. However, _Catena_ wouldn’t install apparently because it hasn’t been updated for recent Android devices. ---

It is a very simple app, but it has really helped me in my study of Scripture. You can click on any verse in the Bible and you usually get about six to eight commentaries from Early Church Fathers and Theologians on that particular verse. Both the _OSB_ and _Truthly_ cost money. Truthly, unfortunately is a recurring subscription, which I hate! I’d much rather pay a large one-time charge than pay for a subscription, feeding into _Project 2030_, where “You will own nothing and you _will_ be happy” (or else). ---

You can click on any verse in the Bible and you usually get about six to eight commentaries from Early Church Fathers and Theologians on that particular verse. I may be able to get the _Catena_ app installed on my desktop PC (also available on Mac) using **BlueStacks**. _BlueStacks_ has an _Android Emulator_ which the user can configure to emulate older versions of Android. I’ll give that a try. TY. 👍
