Pope App Not Infallible

I like to keep abreast of news from the Vatican so today I downloaded three apps for my Android 4.0 tablet. The much vaunted Pope App proved to be the one most likely to be uninstalled next time I do housecleaning. It is slow, unresponsive and somewhat bloated at 26mb. For news I will rely instead on the Vatican Insider app from La Stampa. It is primarily a print app although it has some multimedia links which require loading up a browser. While the news was up to date, the multimedia links were all from before the conclave. One hopes that this will improve in the near future. The last little gem is the Vatican Radio app which provides both live and on demand radio programming from Vatican Radio. The on demand English broadcast worked fairly well but the live broadcast was problematical. This is not a problem because the Vatican broadcasts in a multitude of languages on relatively few channels making on demand preferable.

    How can you even possibly consider such things, when they are not traditional?

We believe in a good argument. That means NO ad hominem attacks. This also includes Pope Francis. Further, referring to him by any other name, may or may not indicate a schismatic attitude, and given the confusion in the Church your comment will NOT be published. Comments are those of the commentators and not those of this blog. You may use a pseudonym... we do... Behave like a guest in our living room and you will be fine.
