4/5Good app
I really like the app... it is great to have access to this on the go. But why would you have the purchase option blocking access to the Means of Grace section? Of all sections, why block that... seems like a sales strategy John Tetzel would have designed 😅.

5/5Simple and easy to navigate. Perfect.
This is the perfect tool for teaching and studying the faith in families. We've been teaching our children (5, 3, & baby) the catechism since winter this year. This app makes it so easy to turn to quickly for a refresher (to make sure I remember it correctly) before reviewing it with the kids (my husband doesn't need this when he teaches the kids, but his memory is better than mine). The interface is perfect. So easy and quick to flip to each of the chief parts of the catechism. It also has the Christian questions and their answers. I can see this being a useful tool for older kids in confirmation classes as well. And of course, you can't beat the price! Thank you CPH for a wonderful resource!

2/5Unhappy.
Now I don’t usually leave reviews but this one just rubbed me wrong. Really un-happy with my app experience and do not think it’s biblical to sell it. It just reminds me a lot of what Paul wrote to the Corinthians. Can’t remember where but it’s early on In 2 Corinthians and he emphasizes not being peddlers of God’s word, but out of sincerity. Now I understand if it’s to cover the cost of running an app since those are expensive. But couldn’t they just put a donate button within the app. Other than that great user friendly interface.

5/5Wonderful
This is a great resource for any Christian. Educated in Lutheran elementary school (I still have my Living in Christ book), a confirmed “cradle Lutheran”, I took LSC for granted. As with many matters of the faith, I can now appreciate at my advanced age more deeply what and how this Catechism teaches. It clarifies my understanding of Scripture and strengthens my witness to Christ. The app is convenient and easy to navigate. A real blessing!

5/5Loving it!
Stumbled across this and downloaded it right away. Pretty excited to be able to have and hold the small catechism everywhere I go. I already used it once while waiting in line with my five year old to run through the commandments.

1.0.1
2.0.0
Back in November, we locked our developers in a room with a month’s supply of Jell-O salad and tuna noodle casserole, and they emerged earlier this week with the iPad version of Luther's Small Catechism! New in 2.0.0: - One universal app to rule them all - The same design, layout and interactions you love optimized for the larger screen - Squished bugs (after a lot of standing on chairs and high pitched screams)
2.1.0
This update is so epic, you may want to sit down for this. Are you sitting yet? Good. You can now control font size! It’s OK, just take slow deep breaths. Feeling better? OK, you can now resume your day.
2.1.1
* Correcting font size label in Spanish mode
3.0.0
Recently, one of our developers was invited to a choir potluck and became mesmerized by an entire table filled with every variety and color of Jell-O salad. After a bout of over-indulgence, he emerged from the church basement inspired. Not fully recovered from his sugar rush, he managed to string together a few coherent sentences and convince the team that colors are in, and off we went to make his hallucination a reality. What's New: New: We re-built the app from the ground up. A new front end for you, and a back end that will allow us to make updates to the app much faster. Huzzah! New: All new look to match iOS 8. If you like it, it was my idea. If you don't, it was our designer's fault. New: Made it easier for us to add more content in future updates. We're excited for what the future holds for our app. New: New language, Tigrinya (Ethiopian), with more languages on the way. Awesome! Fantasico! Impressionnant! Ehrfürchtig! Mahtava! Děsivý! Ontzagwekkend! New: Now available in Venti (6) and Trenta (6+) sizes, for those of you lucky enough to get your hands on one. Fixed: Squished a few bugs. Fictitious: If you lick your screen, you can actually taste the Jell-O salad.
3.0.1
Added new languages: - German - Chinese (Traditional) - Chinese (Simplified) - Portuguese
3.0.2
* Bug fixes
3.0.3
* Support for larger phone sizes
3.0.4
*We’ve continued to add new language translations. Most recently, both Finnish and Japanese were added. In doing so, that caused the list of languages to fall off the screen for those that have smaller 4” phone sizes. We now made that list scrollable. Sorry about that.

New in 2.0.0: - One universal app to rule them all - The same design, layout and interactions you love optimized for the larger screen - Squished bugs (after a lot of standing on chairs and high pitched screams)"

      "notes": "Recently, one of our developers was invited to a choir potluck and became mesmerized by an entire table filled with every variety and color of Jell-O salad. After a bout of over-indulgence, he emerged from the church basement inspired. Not fully recovered from his sugar rush, he managed to string together a few coherent sentences and convince the team that colors are in, and off we went to make his hallucination a reality. What's New: New: We re-built the app from the ground up. A new front end for you, and a back end that will allow us to make updates to the app much faster. Huzzah! New: All new look to match iOS 8. If you like it, it was my idea. If you don't, it was our designer's fault. New: Made it easier for us to add more content in future updates. We're excited for what the future holds for our app. New: New language, Tigrinya (Ethiopian), with more languages on the way. Awesome! Fantasico! Impressionnant! Ehrfürchtig! Mahtava! Děsivý! Ontzagwekkend! New: Now available in Venti (6) and Trenta (6+) sizes, for those of you lucky enough to get your hands on one. Fixed: Squished a few bugs. Fictitious: If you lick your screen, you can actually taste the Jell-O salad."
