History
Hallow was founded by Alex Jones, Erich Kerekes, and Alessandro DiSanto in December 2018.[8][9] Alex Jones, who grew up as a Catholic, lost his faith as a teenager.[5][4] With the use of meditation, Jones chose to revert to Catholicism and made the decision to create a platform to assist others in a similar situation.[1][4]
In January 2022, the app was launched in the Spanish language.[10]
As of February 2022, the app has been downloaded more than two million times.[7] Hallow's subscription is available in two tiers: monthly and yearly.[4][9] Since then actor Jonathan Roumie, who portrayed Jesus in The Chosen, has appeared in ads for the app.[11]
In April 2022, Hallow announced a partnership with American actor Mark Wahlberg.[citation needed]
In June 2022, Hallow started the I am Here Eucharist campaign in partnership with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit.[12][13]
Popularity
In February 2024, Hallow reached the No. 1 spot in Apple's App Store, ahead of ChatGPT, Google and others.[14]
