A very useful tool along with the Portals of Prayer app and Lutheran Hour Ministries

Well worth the purchase of "The Explanations"! It opened the small catechism for much deeper introspection and is convenient for teaching Confirmation class at Church. Easy to navigate, too!

I'm a little upset that what was a free app is now charging for explanation. once again showing how greedy Concordia and LCMS is. I wonder what Martin would say.

Luther's Small Catechism from Concordia Publishing House is a basic text for almost all LCMS Lutherans, the explanations provided in that premium content has been studied by confirmation students for generations and having Luther's Catechism and those explanations _DOWNLOADED_ on your phone and available for review and study is a valuable addition to any Christian's mobile device. That said... I emphasized Downloaded for a reason. On the free tier at least, it doesn't download Luther's small catechism translated into common English to your phone so you must access the internet every single time. I don't know if it downloads the explanations as I didn't purchase that. This means that as long as you have access to the Internet, which people take for granted but isn't always available especially when traveling, this is a serviceable option. If they downloaded all content under all circumstances I would give it 5 stars. Since they don't, if all you want is Luther's Small Catechism, and can live without the explanations, I recommend going to project Gutenberg and downloading the epub or mobi of the Catechism and load it on either the Kindle app or your epub reader of choice.

Truly a remarkable learning tool. I admit, I was first skeptical of Lutheranism, but then, when I discovered how rich the theology of Martin Luther really is, it opened my eyes. I seen Scripture come alive. The Apostles Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments -- cover so much more than I previously thought. It isn't empty rituals. The free version was great, but if you really want to delve in deeper, my suggestion is to buy the explanations. You won't be disappointed!
