Thank you for your feedback regarding our Saints4U app. We're sorry to hear that you do not seem to like the app. It appears there may be a misunderstanding regarding the nature & purpose of this app. This app is unfortunately not intended to be an encyclopedic edition on the saints, something that would not be possible to create or offer at anything close to today's low price (e.g. under $2). However, the app does have very valuable features that are not easily found elsewhere. For example, it contains names, dates & gender (male/female) for thousands of saints – in fact, it includes the names & dates for practically the entire pre-1970's martyrology as they appear in the publication's index, plus information from both the traditional & new liturgical calendars, plus over 1,000 patron saints, along with a comprehensive search feature. Besides being useful for naming babies & choosing Baptismal and Confirmation names, the app is also excellent for locating feast days & patron saints. As the description indicates, you can perform the following searches with this app...

* Enter your birth date, anniversary, etc. to see what feasts fall on your special days

* Enter 'cancer' for patron saints for cancer sufferers

* Enter 'medical' for patron saints for various medical conditions

* Enter 'Mary' for saints & feast days that include the word 'Mary'

* Enter 'Joseph' for saints & feast days that include the word 'Joseph'

* Enter 'December' for feasts falling in December [includes: liturgical feasts (old & new), and martyrology/other feasts]

* Etc.

You can also use the filter buttons to limit results to male or female (e.g. female patrons with patronage over difficult marriages, male saints whose feast days fall on a given date or in a given month, etc.)

Regarding 'incomplete listings' and 'incomplete information about the saints', and 'no biography', again please remember that the app is not intended to be an encyclopedic edition on the saints, but is rather called "A Treasury of Saint Names, Patrons & Feasts". We believe the screenshots provide a clear indication of the type of information that is contained in the app. The description may also contain a note mentioning that the listings are as pictured and do not contain biographies or pictures for the thousands and thousands of saints that are listed.

Again, we are sorry to hear that you do not seem to like Saints4U. We do thank you for letting us know how you feel and for your support. We hope you might further explore the app with the above limitations and features in mind so that you might become a more satisfied customer with future use of the app.
