On Ash Wednesday, “Hallow” — a Catholic meditation, prayer, and sleep app — took a remarkable third place on the list of top free iPhone applications on the Apple store, the Western Journal reported Sunday, surpassing Google, Netflix, Spotify, Instagram, and TikTok.
According to the report, by Saturday, Hallow had fallen by just one slot and ranked fourth, just behind TikTok, the Chinese shopping site Temu, and the video editing software Capcut.
On Sunday morning, Hallow was still holding strong in the top 20.
On its website, the app invites users to “pray with millions around the world leading up to Easter alongside Mark Wahlberg, Jim Caviezel, Fr. Mike, and more on Hallow, the #1 prayer app in the world.”
Catholic Actor Mark Wahlberg appeared on NBC’s Today Show Wednesday to talk about Hallow, as well as the importance of prayer and fasting.
