User Reviews for New City Catechism

Great app to teach theology to kids

Great tool to teach good basic theology to your kids. I use the app with my 4 and 2 year old and the 4 year old has memorized about the first 20 questions. I can see how his knowledge from the questions is already affecting the way he thinks about life. The songs are great too, they help a lot with the memorization of the Q and As and make it fun for the kids. Highly recommended.

Great as Devotional

The way this catechism systemizes the core doctrines and beliefs of the Gospel and the way that it also protects against heresies by being absolutely grounded in scripture is absolutely astounding. Aesthetically, it’s rather lovely bc of the color coded sections and the little animations that accompany every question is pleasing to the eye. Practically, it’s easy to use and every time you open the app after refreshing/restarting it, it opens at the last question you left off at, which is rather awesome considering that if it didn’t, you’d have to scroll and try to remember where you last left off. Definitely a huge blessing to the modern day church and I hope it’ll be in use for quite some time

Doesn't work on iPhone 4s

I really like using this app with my children, we love the songs that go with the catechisms. A while back I installed it on an older iPhone and I just tried downloading it again and it still doesn't work on iOS 9.35. It gets stuck on the Welcome screen. There are three instruction slides that tell you to swipe right or down, and there is no way to bypass that to get to the regular app interface. Please fix this if possible. Thank you.

Prefer the Kindle Fire version

This version has too much going on - too busy. The Kindle Fire version has everything on 1 page for the days devotional. It would be nice to have that layout as an option. Otherwise great idea. It is good for kids to do a self devotional, but I would never recommend this version for kids over the Kindle Fire version. The songs are horrible, but that is to be expected. For adults, it would be nice to have reference to the other Catechisms’ questions each question was based on and their bible verses. It would enhance the adult study with a good side by side.

We love this app!

We just found this app and have added it to our morning routine. My boys aged 9 & 11 love the songs. We sing along and even take different parts which they really enjoy - todays quote: “This is Fun!!” And I hear them singing the songs during the day. Even catch myself singing the songs during the day. What a wonderful way to learn the New City Catechism.

Love this app! A few bugs though.

Love this app and all the content it provides! It seems like there are some issues with the media player. I’ve discovered that I cannot access the media player for single questions from the bottom bar unless I click on the “prayer” icon first, then click the bottom x to exit, then click the media icon to bring up the media player for the single song. Also, sometimes when playing a song from the All Songs list, I have to click to proceed to the next song instead of it automatically playing the next song in the list. I think it used to proceed automatically, but would skip from the current song I played, to the latest song on the list that I had ever played. Maybe that bug is fixed but the fix was to eliminate auto play all together 😔. The auto play would be a nice feature to add. Thanks for all the hard work! 💪🏼

Kid-friendly, but also for adults

Just finished 52 weeks of this app with my kids. They were very engaged and even my 5yo had little trouble learning most of the songs that accompanied the lessons.My only complaint is that the app has some minor player and navigation issues. Would heartily recommend, though, to anyone who wants to hide the Word of God in their heart.

Great app!

This is a great app to walk through the catechism. Super intuitive to use and very modern/beautiful design. Would LOVE if there was a way to play all the songs in Children mode automatically one after the other so my family could sing through the catechism while in the car, etc. Having music in the adult version would be awesome too - great method to help things really stick!

Excecution of content needs work

This app is great for having all content accessable in one spot. However, it will only let me play each song only once. There is no way to start over unless I completely exit the app and get back in. If I pull up the full song list, there is no way to go back to the normal screen unless I shut down the app and get back in. It's a lot of unnecessary steps. Kids need repetition to learn, so being able to repeat without unnecessary steps would be nice.

Update is lightyears ahead of old app

Three things would bring this up to five stars for me: 1. Remember the question I’m on from the previous session. Why do I have to click or scroll to get back to the question I’m on every. single. time. I. open. the. app. 2. Finish the songs for the kids version. 3. Bring back the ability to see the kids and adults answers simultaneously (the kids answers were in a different colored font). Overall this is a great app!
