Friend,
Good news! Zeale can no longer be found on Apple’s App Store or on Google Play.
Why? Because we’ve gone independent!
Zeale is now a progressive web app (PWA). Available directly from our homepage, it provides a smoother, more reliable experience.
Here’s how to get it:
- Delete any versions of Zeale you downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
- Go to Zeale.co on your mobile device.
- On Apple devices, tap the “share” button, find “add to home screen” and then tap it.
- On Android devices, simply tap “add to home screen.”
- You will then have an icon on your device that takes you directly to the PWA version of Zeale.
The most important benefit of this switch is that it reduces our dependency on Big Tech, which has brought wonderful innovations to the world but also serious challenges.
For instance, attorneys general from 47 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands recently settled a lawsuit alleging that Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta corporation deliberately used addictive features on social media, and knowingly exposed young users to serious mental harms.
Meta has agreed to pay $17 billion and also implement various safety features for younger users of Facebook and Instagram.
All this talk of addiction should come as no surprise. Big Tech itself is addicted…to money.
They want a bite of everyone’s apple. For every purchase you make or every donation you give through an app in the Apple or Google Play stores, a percentage goes into the pocket of a tech company to do with as they please.
That puts an organization like CatholicVote in a tight spot. We want all donor dollars to go directly to serving our mission. We don’t want to risk them going toward agendas we’re fighting against.
We also want to keep Big Tech’s hands off our content. Zeale’s change to a PWA or progressive web app eliminates the possibility of our content being censored by anyone.
One added benefit: No more having to download app updates on your own.
As a PWA, when we make improvements to tech or add new content, you get updates automatically, without lifting a finger. You can expect faster updates and more new features than ever before.
Get the new Zeale app and start enjoying it today.
We’ll see you there!
Your Friends at CatholicVote
