The popular U.S.-based Catholic app Hallowhas been removed from the Apple App Store in China for featuring “illegal” content, the app’s founder said Monday.
Alex Jones, Hallow’s founder, posted on social media Monday afternoon that the app “just got kicked out of the App Store in China.”
“Praying for all the Christians in China,” he added.
Hallow is a prayer app that provides audio-based Catholic devotional content. Since launching in 2018, Hallow says its app has been downloaded over 14 million times “across 150-plus countries.” In February, downloads of Hallow briefly topped the app store, across all categories, for the first time.
Jones told CNA in an email Tuesday that the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) informed him Hallow was “deemed to include content on the app that is illegal in China and so must be removed,” with no further details provided.
