AndroKat: Android és Katolikus

AndroKat was launched on 2012.10.09 as a Roman Catholic-oriented application for phones with the Android operating system. Starting from 2026. 01. 27. on iPhone as well.

MOTTO
"The worship, the moral life, the offices and functions and everything else in the Church are for the purpose of returning this divine love to God, or of displaying and conveying it to the world." (Balázs Barsi)

GOAL
To unite – as much as possible – the opportunities and services provided by currently available Catholic mobile applications and websites.
To support daily prayer/meditation but not to collect quotes.
Our goal is not to make books available in stores available for free download.
Let's not forget that "... the worker deserves his wages" (Lk 10:7), let's also support Catholic book publishers.

SERVICES

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

The application is basically intended to help you use offline mode as much as possible. When you start the application, it downloads the latest materials to your phone (if there is a live internet connection), so you can read the materials even without the internet.
It can be useful to "store" your phone at home in the morning (after 5-6 am), so you can read your favorite things on the bus and subway.
Obviously, this is not true for services that require a constant internet connection. For example, online radio, videos, etc.

Some readable materials can be saved to favorites.
Since older offline materials stored on the phone are periodically replaced by new ones, if you would like to keep something for a longer period of time, it is worth saving it to favorites or sending it to yourself by email.

Some readable materials can be shared with previously installed or factory applications on the phone, such as email.

The font size can be adjusted in the settings.
How many items should be stored on the phone (offline database). This will prevent this application from taking up too much space on the phone.
You can also delete your favorites and the offline database here. The latter will of course be reloaded the first time you connect to the internet, but only with the latest items.
You can set which pages should appear in the application.

The contact page contains the contact information for the developers, who are open to all ideas, wishes and comments.
The application has social media pages and a web version! So it is not an exclusion if someone has a different phone ;)
