Appocalypse
I kind of went overboard on the Bible and prayer app thing, but now that I’m retired, I can sort of keep up.
Even so, after Lent I may need to rethink my appistic approach to life-maybe? Or maybe not.
I find reading to be tedious. While I do other stuff, I can listen to my apps. Is that a bad thing? 🤷♀️
Anyway…maybe I’m overthinking this. 🤔😵💫🥰
1. This month I finally finished the Bible in a Year program that Augustine Institute has on its Amen app. I also finished reading each day’s short devotional found in my hard copy of their Bible. The Institute uses the Catholic ESV. These are wonderful devotionals that all Christians would benefit from, IMO.
You can get their Amen app. from the Apple store. It’s free, but they ask for a donation if you can.
2. I’ve been using The Bible App from You Vision for a long time. It’s good. I stay with it because I have some friends from Burma-Myanmar that I like to keep in touch with through the app. Some of us are doing the Bible in a Year, chronological version.
3. The Hallow App is good. It has a lot of prayer and devotional material. Jesus (Jonathan Roumie) does a lot of the reading. Another Jesus (Jim Caviezel) does some reading as well.
4. Then I added The Ascension App. There is a small cost for this app. It has more teaching videos and things.
5. I also found a prayer app. that has Pope Francis’ intentions - which are prayer requests. It’s called
Click to Pray
6. Bible Memory app. I’m working on the book of I John right now. I memorized it years ago and also translated it from Greek for a class at one time.
7. 3 Rosary apps
8. 1 Bible Trivia app.
9. Oh, and Duolingo.
Finnish and French Apologies to my grandparents, but Finnish is an insane language-and my father’s first language. Tuhma koira means “bad dog”
This video is sooo Finn

Last week I rebelled! Then I remembered that I am the one who assigned myself these apps, so it is an appocalypse of my own making.
Still, I’m keeping it all! Probably…
Maybe I just need a Spring break. I went to school so many years that I seem to need somebody to give me assignments even if I am the one piling on the homework.
My suggestion? Pick one app if you’re going to use any at all - or many.
Or just make sure to pray and read your Bible every day? Apps aren’t forever? Meanwhile, use apps in moderation?
Oh, bother…🤣🤩😇
Update:
I dumped the Hallow app for now. The Ascension app is enough.
Hallow is a great product, but I had too much of too many good things.
