Exodus 90: Catholic Men's App

$90 for a year is a bit extreme for this app and I think the Exodus 90 team needs to strongly consider an Exodus 90 program only membership. Forcing men to pay $90 a year as the only option will only turn more men away. If this subscription model was in place when I tried Exodus 90 years ago, I would have never given it a chance. More popular Catholic apps have more content and monthly subscription models. The ultimate goal is to bring men to Christ. Not banking money.

The app is great and has helped me further my faith and understand my Catholic beliefs. However, the app keeps doing a glitch where if I press play on the audio, it will take minutes (or at times, not at all) for the audio to start. Now, it’ll play for like 90 seconds and then it just stops. I don’t mind reading, but with my busy life, the audio helps a lot and it has become very unreliable. Hope they can fix the problem soon.

I am not paying 90 bucks a year for an app that helps track fasting. The subscription is way too high for someone just trying to pray more!😞

New format has take away much of the content. Not worth the $90 unfortunately.

There is a new version of the app and I’m not a fan. I was hoping for more but it seems this is a step backwards for the company. Im grateful Exodus 90 does stay focused on helping build fraternity. The lead up to St. Michael’s Lent was great. Stay focused on this.

The latest update changed the format of the app’s graphics with a white background with no night time or dark mode available. Annoying and I want to use the app less.

The new format is ok, but it needs a night mode

Can’t find the Formations anymore. Those were great value. I hope it’s coming back with the new app update and is just a glitch. The new upgrade is actually a downgrade.

The new UI in version 4.0.0 is terrible, and a serious downgrade from the previous version, even though that one had its own flaws. Please at least give us the option to revert to the previous UI. I’m not even sure why an update was seen as necessary. For an app with a very steep $90/year subscription model, is any of that money going to quality graphic designers who understand the mission of Exodus 90? The app should be very straightforward so that the focus can remain on the task list and readings, and fraternity messages for those that use it. Lastly, while I generally support the goals laid out by Exodus 90, I must say with charity that I question some of the ways they are being implemented. What additional value is delivered to men by paying $90/year to access an app, versus tracking the disciplines on a piece of paper and reading from a physical bible? Is it really just the extra content that is provided within the app, such as the anonymous daily reflections and the opportunity to message people in the app (also with this latest update, it seems some extra context has been removed, such as reflections on fatherhood, physical exercise routines, etc…)? All of that extra content can be useful and I appreciate it all in one place, but I just can’t imagine this is worth $90/year to produce and curate. Finally, if an ongoing goal for Exodus 90 is to become a year-long model, with different programs filling up the rest of the calendar year, I’d ask that the founders reconsider this and not only from a monetary point of view (tho a monthly subscription plan would still be nice). The Church has seasons for a reason; Exodus 90 originally helped men to live out a fuller, deeper Lenten season. It should not become a Catholic “75 Hard Challenge” for 365 days a year, nor a substitute for spiritual direction for those who are need guidance with their faith.

Been a user and follower of the program for two straight years. We continued with a sort of Exodus 365 and followed each program through the year. The new UI is horrible with no option to set dark mode. The bright white is no go for me. Coupled with the change in format to a podcast rather than a weekly video series seems an odd choice and leaves our weekly meetings feeling a little lackluster. There are plenty of podcast our group can follow and way more efficient apps for forming a fraternity. Switching to podcasts, bad app design changes, forcing yearly subscription, and poor communications has us ready to leave and for other programs. Sad as the 2024/25 season was amazing, feels like the upcoming 2026 season may be a bust for our group.
