Radio Vaticana for Android
The application opens onto the Agenda of the Pope’s public appointments. A system
called Vatican TIC, devised and produced by Vatican Radio, lets you access all
the text and audio content associated with each event. The Agenda tells you in real
time about papal celebrations broadcast live and produced in collaboration with the
Vatican Television Centre. The texts of the Pope’s discourses are also available, as
published on www.vatican.va.
The App also offers a News service that includes the latest information concerning
the Church and the World, broadcast by Vatican Radio’s news programmes. The
Radio section contains five audio channels corresponding to the network of over 70
daily programmes in 40 languages produced by Vatican Radio. The same channels
are used for FM, AM, Short Wave and Satellite broadcasts.
The papal Agenda and News functions of this App run on Android 2.3 and higher.
The Android 3.0 or higher is needed to access the Radio function and audio
streaming channels. An Android 4.0 or higher is required to view the video streaming
of the live broadcasts.
This is Vatican Radio’s first version of this App. We promise to continue doing our
best to improve and update. Stay with us.
The application is not working on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime.
Hello, it works w good until last update on 28.02.2016. Now it dosen't work at all.
Through this app i got a chance to have a glimpse on what the pope does everyday. This is simply amazing!
It is definitely helpful in my job as an Archdiocesan reporter on our Archdiocesan radio station...Love this app so much 'coz it brings us the latest news from Vatican or even from around the world! Feeling I am almost near to the Pope.. Godbless
Wonderful app...that hasn't worked since 2/10/16 update.

Jellybean user here. Love this app. To the angry user below, it's a problem with your phone and not the app. May God have mercy on all that anger.
Please try to fix streaming that could be used on Android 2.2 - still majority of android users work on this version and also try to make app moveable to SD card as many people use phones with small interior memory.
Doesn't work on a samsung galaxy s mobile
Agenda and News load fine, but radio crashes app each time. Nexus 7. Will wait for fix
God bless
Great app. Keeping the Faith.
What's the point of giving Catholics an android app that does NOT WORK on any android devices!!!. What a TOTAL Android disaster! How is it possible that no one at the Vatican knows or even cares that your Vatican apps DO NOT WORK ON ANDROID DEVICES!! Your apps crash, stall, and unexpectedly stop! It's absolutely ridiculous. I have tried your apps on 6 different android devices by different manufacturers and your apps ALWAYS have MAJOR problems! Your app insists on me installing SILVERLIGHT which is a Microsoft product that DOES NOT WORK ON ANDROID!! Are you people aware and awake? What is going on? Catholic android users number in the millions! Are you purposely trying to alienate us all? I KNOW there are brilliant minds at the Vatican and they cannot all be asleep or comatose! ALLORA RAGAZZI SVEGLIATEVI! How can I contact papa Francesco directly so he can either make you do your job properly or simply fire you! Why can't I watch Videos from the Vatican on my Android tablet as easily as I can watch them on my PV and iMac? Put out an app that ACTUALLY works. Then people in the Curia wonder why we hate them! :P

The app does what it says it will do. Lots of info in one place. Samsung Tab3 8"
Wish there was a setting to increase the font size in the news section.
Best for keeping us abreast on the latest in the Vatican. Can we please have a 'share' button? Will help us disseminate news faster.
Y do the Vatican techies INSIST that Android users use SIlverlight in order to watch Vatican video, when this archaic piece of S&?% does NOT work on ANY ANDROID device. WHAT the hell is wrong with you Vatican techies? :-) I mean it! What IS wrong with you?! :-(
Does not work on Samsung galaxy s4.
radio does not stream... audio does not work
Great app but broadcastings don't work unfortunately ... :(
The radio isnt working on my samsung galaxy s3... please fix
Great
This is just what we need! Please add a permanent link to the Vatican Television Centre stream for those of us who just want to look out onto St Peter's Square. :)
Radio works now.
Hi, Please fix. Radio is not working on my device. What seems to be the problem? Please help and make it work. Thank you.
Radio does not work on ice cream sandwich. Also have applied twice since widget came out in April with no response.
Good!
So it looks that this application is written for Android 2.x. What about rewriting it for 4.x? Knowing the speed of the reformation in Vatican, this won't happen any time soon.

The app is excellent. But it does not distinguish time zones, i.e, I live in the eastern US and the app reads my zone as if it were CET and predicts programming incorrectly.
