Please sign up for testing my bible app which reads the bible; keeps track of which books you've read, and teaches you the basic of the catholic faith too! The app is called Cornerstone: I still need testers for google's requirement. I'm willing. https://groups.google.com/g/cornerstone-testers/
Did you ever read about early church history? I was wondering if I should include this in the software I'm developing the help Catholics learn the faith at: cornerstone-testers.vercel.app . I'm not sure if Catholics are curious? Do they know about the different Councils or do they care? If you did learn church history, what did you use?
A lot of people want to read the Bible regularly and learn the Catholic faith more deeply, but struggle with consistency, structure, and knowing where to start. Even when they do start, it’s easy to fall off or lose track.
To solve that, I built an app called Cornerstone.
It includes the full 73-book Catholic Bible with optional guided reading modes, automatic progress tracking, and reading plans that adapt even if you read out of order.
There’s also an XP-based system to help with consistency, plus optional gamification for motivation that can be turned off anytime.
For learning the faith, there’s a “Learn” section based on traditional Catholic teaching, currently featuring the Baltimore Catechism.
I’m currently running a small closed test with 17 spots available. If you'd like gain early access please sign up!

I was wondering how adults learn about the catholic faith. In my experience, being raised catholic, I did CCD but wasn't really that interested at the time. Once I was confirmed, there really wasn't much of a continuing education pipeline to be had (or at least, I didn't discover it). I hadn't read the bible (even the gospels in their entirety and honestly couldn't answer many questions on the basics of the faith).
I'd read that catholic school children used to use the Baltimore Catechism. So, I looked into that and I also read the bible (making sure that it was a Catholic bible with all 73 books, which I didn't know existed at the time lol).
I'd like to know for myself and for the software I'm developing.It's got automated bible tracking/reading, daily quizzes about Catholicism, catechism lessons based on the Baltimore Catechism, but it seems like I may need add the rosary to the prayer section. If interested, check it out: https://cornerstone-testers.vercel.app/ I feel like, at least in my experience at the parish level, we sometimes have bible studies, but they're not really promoted and can be somewhat intimidating. In my experience, it seems like a lot of people's knowledge base likely peaked at 13 or 14 when they were confirmed, but it's easy not remember and to become complacent.
It's been my experience that not many Catholics have the habit of reading the bible. From my understanding, fewer than 10% of us have read the entire bible and many people have never really learned, or have forgotten, the tenets of the Catholic faith.
To address this, I've created an application that automatically helps you read the bible and study the Catholic faith. The application is free. It has the full Catholic 73 book bible in automatic reading mode (if desired). It also has a Learn section which, right now, consist of the traditional teachings in the Baltimore Catechism. There's a gamify mode to make it more fun to learn the faith, but it can be turned off if you don't want too be bothered.
As this application is new google requires that I get testers. Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a hermit, so I don't know to many people, but I'd love to get feedback so that I could eventually publish it. I currently have 20 spots available. If you're from the US, England, Australia, Canada, Philippines, or Brazil. Try it out, the app is called Cornerstone: https://cornerstone-testers.vercel.app/
