A very good way to learn and teach concrete theology to myself and kids. I love that it comes with songs to help us learn it better. I'm also so thankful it's free.
My family and I go through this every night after dinner. Love it! My only suggestion would be some kind of word-by-word reveal mode, which would help with memorisation.
Excellent app. I have been using this to discuss with my parents. Very helpful in understanding the gospel. loved the song made out of every question too
A great tool for the new catechumen. Though i certainly reccomend a Catechism with more substance like the Heidelberg after this
I am so so impressed with the content and quality I can't believe it's free.
