Conclave: The App

Friday, March 08, 2013 7:17 PM Comments (4)

Just wanted to let folks know about a neat little app that Logos Bible Software has just released to help Catholics (and others) learn about the upcoming conclave.

The app is FREE and is available both for iOS (iPhone/Pod/Pad) and Android.

They really rushed to get it out so that we'd have it in time for the conclave, and I know people at Logos who spent long nights getting it ready.

It's got some really cool features and material (including some by yours truly) and ways to stay in touch with important Catholic information sources, like the National Catholic Register and Catholic Answers.

Here's a description of the app:

I got the app, but I don’t see how I’m going to be among the first to see white smoke rise, unless I’m watching the live video feed 24/7.  I was looking for an alert of some sort. Is that available?

www.popealarm.com will notify you via email or text so you can know as soon as the white smoke goes up.  FOCUS - Fellowship of Catholic University Students can be thanked for this modern wonder!  Sign up today!

You can sign up to get an email or text alert at popealarm.com.

Thanks Meesebellbee and Donna!

Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant pastor or seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith. Eventually, he was compelled in conscience to enter the Catholic Church, which he did in 1992. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is a Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to This Rock magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
