  1. 5/5Couple tidbits of feedback

    The podcast is dope-he’s one of the best. The app itself is quality, but wish it did a few things. They don’t have a search function., haven’t found a way to do an index search of a topic or word in title. Also, I want to be able to toggle back and forth from the epi chat to the episode index. You have to scroll to episode 319 from the newest episodes. No way to type and skip through them all.

  2. 5/5Really cool new app

    The app has been completely overhauled and it’s so much better. The old one had some issues and I didn’t hate it but this one doesn’t have any of those issues. It’s visually pleasing, the playback works great, I can pause it while my phone is locked and it picks right back up when I unpause. I really like the new social media style feed, getting to see Tony’s thoughts more often is pretty cool. Overall looks great works great. And of course the podcast is one of my favorites.

  3. 5/5This app has me side-eyeing the woods now

    First of all, who gave The Confessionals permission to be this good? I came here for some creepy stories to pass the time while doing dishes and now I’m fully convinced my neighbor might be a lizard person and that I’ve been abducted at least once. The stories are next level. Like, I should not be this entertained while hearing about Bigfoot chasing someone through the mountains. But here I am, folding laundry with one AirPod in and a heart rate of 140. The host? Feels like your cool cousin who’s into conspiracy theories but also pays their taxes. 10/10 would let him narrate my life. And hope he gets my email because I sent him one because my life seems like all 700+ confessional episodes. Anyway, I downloaded it for fun and now I sleep with a nightlight and lock my doors twice. Highly recommend.

  4. 5/5Love it!

    I love this app and was excited about it the moment I heard it announced by Tony on the show. I’ve been following The Confessionals for 4 years now so, I had already binged the past episodes and am up to date on the new ones so, I’ve started from the beginning again. This information never gets old. Praise God & His Son for inspiring Tony to start this show! So much we NEED to know about that enemy who seeks only to steal, kill & destroy.

  5. 5/5Deeper than most

    I started listening to the Confessionals a couple years ago during a time in my life where I had just started going to church after my wife decided to take a step back from Catholicism. The show gradually started to move to more of a spiritual tone and at the same time my wife had given me a choice to quick drinking or leave. I stayed, quit drinking, and then Christ started applying pressure. He seemed to be everywhere smacking me in the face to go do the Lord’s work. Then, my favorite podcast about bigfoot and aliens went completely armor of God/Spiritual Warfare mode after getting attacked after an episode titled the Dark Shift. The day the Confessionals truly changed my life was an interview Tony did with Pastor Troy Brewer, I walked away from that episode on a mission to clean my life up, put on the armor of God and be the Father he intended me to be. Great work all around by Merkel media, Free the Rabbits is also an absolute masterpiece of a podcast, the amount of energy Joel puts into research is incredible!
