App summary

** The #1 Prayer App & #1 Catholic App**

WHAT IS HALLOW
Hallow is a Christian prayer app that offers audio-guided meditation sessions to help us grow in our Christian faith & spiritual lives and find peace in God. Explore over 10,000 different sessions on contemplative prayer, meditation, Catholic Holy Bible readings, music, and more.

In today’s world, we’re stressed, anxious, distracted, and often sleep-deprived. At the same time, we’re searching for deeper meaning, purpose & relationships. We believe these two challenges can be addressed with the same solution: peace in Jesus. In the end, after all, a halo in Heaven is the goal :)

WHAT YOU GET
• Daily Prayers & Devotionals: Pray daily across methods, including 3 of our most popular – Lectio Divina (in Daily Readings), the Holy Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, or Daily Mass Readings and Reflections.
• Christian Meditation: Similar to mindfulness meditation in learning to be comfortable in silence. But in Christian meditation, the goal is never to remain in ourselves, always to lift our hearts & minds to God, to talk with Him, listen to Him, and recognize His presence with us
• Bible Stories for Sleep: Try sounds of the Night Prayer from Liturgy of the Hours/Daily Office and Catholic Holy Bible stories read by folks like Jonathan Roumie from The Chosen or Father Mike Schmitz from The Bible in a Year podcast
• Rosary: Meditate with Mary through the mysteries of the Catholic Rosary and other daily devotionals and prayers.
• Ignatian Examen: Reflect & meditate on your day and find an awareness of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit
• Lectio Divina: Converse with God through passages/Scripture from the Holy Bible
• Taizé & Gregorian Chant: Calm, meditative chants, Christian music & sleep sounds
• Community: Join the Pray40 Lent Challenge from Ash Wednesday to Easter, or our Pray25 Advent Challenge for Christmas
• Homilies & Guests: From Fr. Mike Schmitz, Bishop Barron, and more on topics like being a Catholic Dad, family & more!
• Praylists: Sessions on joy, humility, discernment, stress reduction, and calm sleep meditations
• Personal Prayer Journal: Pray, meditate & document your spiritual journey
• Challenges: Join thousands of Catholics and Christians in a community of prayer such as Easter Prayers, Divine Mercy Chaplet, or 54-Day Rosary Novena.
• Litanies, Novenas, & Devotionals: Try the Litany of Humility, the Surrender Novena & more!
• Minute Meditations: Jesus, I Trust in You; Angelus; Holy Rosary Decade; St. Michael the Archangel prayer & more!

Additional features to customize your prayer experience:
• 3 different length options for each prayer (typically 5, 10, or 15 minutes)
• Set prayer reminders to pray and journal
• Include calm background music like Gregorian chant
• Download & listen offline
• Join a Hallow Family to share prayers, intentions, and journal reflections with one another

As Hallow is a Prayer App, the content is developed by experienced Catholic theology & spirituality guides, reviewed by senior leaders within the Catholic Church (e.g., PhDs, professors, Bishops, authors), and based on content from the approved Catholic Bible. While Hallow can be a beautiful app for Catholics, it is meant as a resource for people of all faiths & religions.

User reviews
The app does not consistently mark completed prayers as complete. I lost a 500+ day streak a few months ago because of this. Progress in a challenge is not recorded, and I have to listen to the last 10 seconds of the prayer again so the app can realize it has been completed. Since the latest update, my sleep stories start midway or three-quarters through, not at the beginning. I have to repeatedly drag the cursor back to start even 30 seconds in. At least I get celebrities leading me in prayer😐

There's still no option to auto download audio when on wifi or when a new episode is released. There are tons of users who use the app while driving or in conditions w/o data/wifi. We need to download audio like in a podcast app, where you can automatically download new episodes under a Collection (like Cavin's daily stuff), when on wifi, being ready for later app use. Another example is your popular Advent/Lent Challenges, requiring data, unless you remember to download each session in advance.

Edit: after reviewing the feedback that hallow provided on my initial review, there is free content as well. The paid price is very steep. I did successfully cancel the trial so as not to get charged though. Original: The cost is insane. Cool that you have some famous folks speaking in some of these things but that cost just to try to lead folks in prayer is predatory. I've seen some reviews about still being charged after cancelling the free trial. If that happens to me, I'll update here.
