Is the Ascension App the same as Hallow?

Although Hallow does carry our podcasts (and we don't intend to remove our podcast from the app), they are a separate app and not owned or hosted by Ascension.

Hallow has built itself to be an incredibly helpful prayer app, but it is not a Bible app. Our app will be more of a Bible app (not a prayer app) so we see these two as complementary to each other, offering a different focus for each. 

One other notable difference is with support. While Hallow does not offer phone support, you can call into our customer support team during business hours to speak to a live team member to help answer your questions.

Our new Ascension App will be free to download, and at its launch, will focus on Ascension podcasts and other faith formation material (such as audio studies and study plans). However, it will also include the text of the Great Adventure Catholic Bible as well as the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Ascension edition, an interactive copy of the reading plan, daily readings, and allow you to quickly pull up the podcast readings directly from the app.

There will also be other paid features available through an optional subscription.

While Hallow does currently host the Bible in a Year and Catechism in a Year podcasts from Ascension, please note that Hallow is a separate app and company not affiliated with Ascension.

• The Bible in a Year, Catechism in a Year, and Rosary in a Year podcasts
• The full text of the Great Adventure Catholic Bible that Fr. Mike reads in Bible in a Year
• Daily Mass readings + video reflections to unpack them
• 80+ study plans to help you understand the Bible better and grow as a Catholic
• Rosary audio recorded by Fr. Mike Schmitz, Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, Jeff Cavins, the Sisters of Life, and Paul Rose

For those seeking even more, we also offer optional paid features through a subscription.

We hope you find the app enriching on your journey of faith.

Blessings,
