Unhappy with cost. I did not see any mention of cost when I downloaded this app! I am deleting now.

Recent update has broken ap. As a parish sacristan, this app is a must have for me, but the most recent update causes the app to crash upon launching. I have an iPhone XR running iOS 13.7. Please fix this soon!

What happened?. This used to be a nice free app. I would read about the Saint if the day and now—pay $1.00 a month. Much better free good Catholic apps out there. Will have to delete this app

Archaic language. I wish that you could do away with the archaic language especially in the hymns. The rest of the wording in the breviary is pretty good. I was using it every day for a few months but now I have gone back to the liturgy of the hours. I have version from Catholic book publishing company in New York and I like the wording in it better. But thank you for the wonderful service and I will continue to use it from time to time.

Beautiful!!. First of all, the person who gave it one star below didn't check the settings-- you can easily change the mass readings in accordance to your local Catholic church liturgies (the default liturgy that this app is set to is not the United States one, so maybe that's why that person was caught off guard.) Anyways! This is truly a beautiful app-- the readings are so easily accessible and the Hours are just wonderful to have everywhere I go :) my daddy and all my friends who've downloaded it all love it too!!

Good Way to Read Bios of Saints. The main offering is the About Today feature which includes nice write ups about saints (about two per week). It is interesting to use the Pick feature to see if there are any saints chronicaled on specific days. It's a little slow to start up (only about 3 seconds, but still slower than other apps), but loads and works fine. A worthwhile teaser for the larger Universalis App which includes readings, psalms and three daily prayers.

Garbage. See Laudate, send them a donation. Their free app is more stable, reliable, and they actually respond with your questions.

Something is wrong. Crashes on iPhone 6 with IOS 12 ;(

Content is great. I enjoy reading about the saints along with the daily scripture readings.

Great App Just Got Better. I've always enjoyed reading about the saints, but now to my suprise, the Liturgy of the Hours is now on my phone. I have the Ibreviary app, but this is a nice supplement as that program is not 100% reliable. Thank you and God bless for a nice unexpected upgrade.

Love it!. This free app is one of the best I have. Especially appreciate the Liturgy of the Hours on my phone. I don't think the Liturgy was included originally, unless I just missed it. I used to read about the saints and liked the app for that, but then I noticed the Hours button at the top of the screen. Available anytime, anywhere...awesome! Thank you so much, Universalis!

Pretty Good. It's a really good app that finally lets me view all those solemnities with a click (and added info). However I wish the interface was changed a little so we could see it in a month layout view like iCal and if you could set some reminder or import an event to iCal, but beside that its really good and worth it.

Please. Please provide Spanish daily readings. Thank you and God bless.

A blessing. This app is great for every day. Having the readings and hours close at hand makes it easier to escape from the troubles of the day and follow the Lord's good workings.

Daily Catholic Prayers. I originally bought the liturgy of the hours in book form and loved the little books !!! But my devotion waned as my life became complex, and when I tried to return to them, I couldn’t re-master the flipping back and forth and was never sure I was reading the right sections…. THIS! puts it all together, offers hymn and format choices, and helps me as I try to become more faithful in prayer. I love it !!!

Sad. I used this app everyday since it was developed, daily readings are free, sadly no longer

Great App. I love this app! It is so well designed & easy to navigate! Every night I read the night prayer & sometimes I listen to the spoken version on the app. It has deepened my connection with Jesus. Highly recommend!

Copy & Paste. Nobody asked me but I prefer the previous way to copy and paste; before your last update. It was easier to copy certain sections. I can’t do that anymore. Thanks for listening.

Thank you. For including the daily mass in this app, it is so welcomed. Please don’t stop teaching us about the saints thank you Maureen

Church Calendar App, G-O-A-T!. In less than 10 days, the Church Calendar app has opened the doors for me to daily praying the DivineOffice/Liturgy of the Hours (DO/LH). Highlights for me (a non-techy) include: Seamless integration between Functions and Features Intuitive Use And best of all - the app has made praying the DO/LH a daily reality rather than a spiritual goal I aspire to. If you ever wanted to pray throughout the day with and as the Church prays, take the Church Calendar up on its 30 day free trial run (no gimmicks). Your personal prayer life will be rocked!

I love this app!. This is my favorite catholic app. Thank you.

Why. Why doesn’t it have access to Apple iPhone calendar any more?

Fire the Writers!. The RC Calendar may be OK for finding out what feast day is is but the synopsis I read today was the last straw. Poor or trite phrases for SAINTS abound; People who we are to look up to and I get and I quote, "After nine years in the convent she dies and that was that."! see Oct 1 feast of the Little Flower. In context I don't know if it was the Saint who died or the superior mentioned in the previous sentence! I happen to know from another source the Saint Therese' died after nine years in the Carmel not the superior. I am removing this from I phone and finding a better one with better writing about the Saints. I'm no Yeats or Shelley but I know poor and careless writing when I see it (and when I produce it) and this Stuff is TERRIBLE!

Relative newbie. I am a protestant. He is looking for a way to deepen my Prayer life. This app seems to be the one to do that. It is a nice app, and I appreciate the free trial. I also appreciate that it accessible to the blind. I know that after the free trial, I am probably going to have to delete the app. I simply cannot afford a subscription or one time purchase. i’m blind disabled, and I can’t afford that kind of money. I’m on a fixed income, and after rent and bills. There’s nothing left for subscriptions of this kind. Or, even one time purchases of apps. It would be nice if there was a free version of this app somehow. Would use it daily if there was. Keep up the good work, and God is proud of you.

THE app for bringing your prayer life to a deeper level!. I have used this app (full version) for years and just when they add features to make our prayer life more rich, they come up with something to enhance it even more! Thank you to the developers for giving the Body of Christ such a wonderful gift to allow us to “remain in Christ” through the liturgy and other rich avenues of prayer. Highly recommended.

App refuses to open. App refuses to open. Only provides a widget for liturgical calendar and feasts. No access to any of the material found on snapshots.

Memorial Dates. How come I can’t add dates anymore? The ‘ADD’ doesn’t highlight anymore, only the ‘Delete’ highlights???

The best prayer App. A great App, excellent for all the prayers, Mass etc. especially when one is traveling.

Alerts. How can I change the alarm from bell to Gregorian Chants? Como puedo cambiar la alarma a Canto Gregoriano en lugar de la campana?

Great app! Only one minor problem.. I think this is a great app. It's great to be reminded that we too can become saints and inspirations for others as these were to us. I only have one negative comment: the epiphany is not listed in the correct date. Other than that it's great!

Very useful with only one qualification. With its "About Today" feature on the lives of the saints, provides a practical tool for daily living in the communion of saints, but sometimes goes from informative to preachy with questionable guidance & practical applications of the saints lives that seem forced or beyond the reach of the straightforward biographical info. Even more useful is the app this is the "teaser" for--"Universalis" for praying the Liturgy of the Hours--for which the developer recently adjusted the price down so I bought it. Thanks!

Great resource. This is a fulfillimg resource to be used with the LOH/DO/Breviary App. When used together, it makes the opportunity of LOH prayer far more focused and undistracted than the bound 1 or 4 volume readings... even though the prayers are the same.

The App to better yourself.. This app I truly enjoy, this app is a helper to prepare a person to mass or to guide someone in the liturgy of the hours, not only that, the calendar is specific and shows you the importance of that day. It has the masses readings, order of mass, and mass today, which is an entire mass. This app has helped me a lot and I'm sure it can help you too.

A beautiful and essential way to pray with th Church.. This is wonderful and I am deeply grateful!

More than worth every penny!. The app allows me to keep up with the LOTH when I’m on the go. The Grail adds a nice counterpoint also.

Wow. Just downloaded, explored a bit and Wow! What a deal to get lifetime subscription for $11. Prayers, readings, and tons of options. I’m impressed.

Thank you for Voice Over support. Great app now that it has Voice Over support. I would give it five stars if I could read by paragraph or sentence, instead of start to finish withoutbeing able to pause and ponder. But being able to read it at all is fabulous Thank you.

Does not sync to Calendar. I downloaded this app to sync to my calendar. It does not connect to Apple Calendar even though it looks like it should.

Faithful Fruend. This app has accompanied me for more than seven years through the US and Canada. We begin and end the day together mindful of the many who are doing the same and different yet the ever same unmeasurable time throughout the world.

DON'T UPDATE!!!!. This wonderful free app used to provide three days of Mass readings (yesterday, today, and tomorrow) along with the Hours for today free of charge. If one wanted a full month, one could purchase the entire month (along with a few additional features) for $0.99. NOT ANYMORE! The latest update requires a purchase of $0.99 per month for access to anything. DO NOT UPDATE!!! The update description doesn't mention this little fact, so I was introduced to this new reality upon reopening it this morning.

Parishioner of St. Peters of Schulte, Ks.. This is just the Apps for the person that attends daily mass. It's really good for all mass'. It has the Ordinary of The Mass plus all holy days the daily and evening prayers. This would also be great for students. It is the latest up to date Mass readings. It also has the priest and people's reply at the Mass. You have to check this out. Maybe I can convince our parish to get WiFi for our church. Then we can use our iPads during mass.!

Why are the dates of the week incorrect?. Being an individual born on the feast of Saint James Zechariah I pride myself on the day of my birth being that of a "Wednesday" yet your calendar app has recently broke and receded back three whole days which that of is incorrect to the calendar of any church hand out... Please fix this bug as also offsets the weeks set of the year. Thank you- Dean Domenick Zack Jr.

A Wonderful Blessing. This app is truly a wonderful blessing to have. A great tool in providing the daily guidance we need move closer to Christ. Being able to have the Liturgy of the Hours at your fingertips is such a wonderful gift. Thank you so much as your ministry in making this available is helping to bring many closer to Christ.

This app leads me into a wonderfully prayerful experience every day. Awesome functionality - clear instructions - deeply theological - more “full gospel” than anything else I have ever read (which is extensive) as a lifelong (and still) protestant - better lessons in church than I ever received anywhere, including SBTSeminary.

Notification Bells TAKE OVER MY iPhone!!!. Every time I swipe up the loud BELL TOWER bells from liturgy of the hours DING as LOUD as my PHONE volume will go!!! Even if my volume and ringer, and notifications volume is on minimum/low!! It’s like a hostile take over over Church bells. What worse. If the liturgy of the hours was at Noon and I unlock my phone or swipe up at 12:30pm....GONG!!!! How do I suppress this? I like the liturgy of the hours notification, but it suddenly taking over the phones Notification volume and ringing MAXIMUM volume is horrible. Please fix in your next update. My kids are starting to say my phone is possessed. Thanks!

Excellent App. RC Calendar, AKA Catholic Calendar or Universalis, is the best ‘all in one’ app that I’ve found! It contains all of the daily prayers and readings for the Divine Office as well as Mass and also has reflections, Lectio Divina and rosary. I have multiple app’s for all of these but RC Calendar does them all in one place and is excellent!

Stanley. I love this app brings me closer to my Lord Jesus Christ

Very pleased. This splendid app is being improved quite regularly. As a priest I celebrate the Divine Office daily and rely on Universalis when traveling or not in my chapel. I find the new addition of the spoken gospel to be good for preparing a sermon or meditating. The extended readings to give the daily gospel its context is another excellent addition. I do wish we had more hymn choice but I know this is difficult to procure between copyrights and fees.

It’s back!. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Excellent program. I liked this program very much , but there was a small bug after I subscribed and I had problems reaching the company. None the less, it is exceptional and advances daily in its readings and this script I preferred.

A great free resource for liturgy planning. This app accesses information from the Universalis website, readings of the day, Divine Office and the useful information about days in the Catholic Christian liturgical calendar. A great resource for any liturgy planners, teachers or RE coordinators. Australian Liturgical Calendar Jerusalem Bible Translation N.B. Psalms are not available in this version due to copyright restrictions.

Good. Great app

Couple of additions. 1.): Add Eastern Catholic Saints' Feasts, & other Feasts only celebrated by Eastern Catholics, to the Eastern General calendar. 2.): Add Holy Rosary & Divine Mercy Chaplet. 3.): Add 1961 General & local liturgical calendars, 1961 Roman Breviary, 1962 Roman Missal.

R C Callender. The app is quite helpful but my local church is shown at the wrong address. It would be very difficult for for visitors to find the church without help. I wonder how many other churches are incorrectly indicated.

A must have app for Catholics and alike.. God bless you and I welcome you to the fullness of Christian truth. May the Holy Spirit bless and dwell within you and teach you the truth of The Father. Amen.

App crashes. The App crashes when you try to open

Good for quick reference. I would love to upgrade to universalis but it's just way to expensive . Maybe at that price they should consider including a catholic bible as well.

Nice. Agree with need for search function

Excellent Program. A useful addition would the text, including the commendation of the requiem Mass and the choices of readings which are in the missal

Great App!!. Fantastic app and a must have for all the Catholics out there or anyone for that matter. Very informative and insightful. One requested feature though: a search function. Would be awesome to look up a certain Saint or Feast day and read about it for spiritual enlightmemt or just for information. Otherwise great app and certainly waiting for the next update with the said suggestion. Thanks!

crashes with new update - suggest avoid updating. Useful program for what it says it does, at least it was for me - but crashes every time since latest update - again at least for me - back to my paper based Lives of the Saints

Good. Good

Great App. Works well. Good Catholic Calendar app as described.

Handy. It is well done. It could have also included the pre-Vatican Council II Roman Calendar of Saints. But overall, this app is a great idea.

Awesome!. Exactly what I have been looking for. We need more catholic apps like this.

The only Hours app worth considering. Unless you consider the paid version - I bought it and haven't regreted it.

Love It - Thanks!. I didn't expect this to be so complete. Works well but I'll probably buy the paid version just so I don't need to rely on an internet connection. Bravo!

J. Awesome!

Crazy calendar. Does not come on today need help and don’t know how to get it.

Amazing. Really great app. I use it for daily Mass. I love I don't have to jump from one place to another, everything is organized for you so you can easily follow the Mass. You may also choose the country or type of Missal you want. It's simply great! Everything my friends and I have been looking for.

Happy. Now I have the daily Mass scriptures reading at my fingertips! Pls add an audio/visual rosary.

Great app. Does what what it says very well. You dont need internet connection for this. God bless!!

Fantastic!!. We need more Catholic apps like this!

Helpful, ... up to a point. I appreciate the app, ... most of the time. Some of the comments I find less than inspiring. For example, to say that a saint’s martyrdom is “the least important thing” (entry for St. Kolbe, Aug. 14) seems to belittle how grace builds in a person, up to the point of the moment of a supreme sacrifice.

Best app. I use it daily and enjoy reading daily readings. I like the improvements as it appears quickly by current dates. It's accessible for ppl with low vision as it offers various font styles. Another bigger font size would be wonderful.

Too little information. Interesting program, but too litlle information. Example, if a Sunday and a Saint's Day, you know what Sunday, but not what Saint's Day. Multimple Saints the same way. A good start which could lead to more research, but I was hoping for more.

Very good!. Perhaps links To wikipedia for saints biographies, and an option to send the feast day information to others so they know about them too!

Great app!. I lose track of what day it is so this app is a life saver! Love love love this app! No problems here

Unique in its category!. Very nice app. Just to maintain us in liturgical time!

How wonderful to have available to read daily.. I appreciate the ability to change the text to a font and size so that I do not have to have reading glasses. This app was well done.

This is a great app for Catholics!. Easy to navigate, comprehensive, and so portable. Recommend to anyone looking for prayerful reflection any time of day.

Thank you!. Thanks to the developers for changing the requirements to iOS 5.0. Now I can update on my iPad 1. Besides that, this is a great app.

Catholic Calender. I just downloaded this a few days ago. I think it will be very useful for teaching Religious Formation (CCD) to kids as a resource for me.

Makes every day interesting. :). Needs the Universalis app to be complete, so it only gets 4 stars.

Calendar. Good app. Good reference info if Catholic. Actually could have a little more info for each day.

I want a free calendar. In Vietnam Catholic men and women cannot know as much as English and they are very poor They don't have credit card So I hope that Rc Calendar will be free

Mass readings incorrect?. The Mass readings do not match my Daily Missal for some reason. Very strange but all else is very nice.

Great App. Really easy to use, very clean interface. Makes it easy to pray the Divine Office!

RC Calendar. By far the best application I have downloaded yet on my itouch! Love it!!!

Good basic calendar. Don't forget to load your local calendar for maximum information.

Love this app!. I absolutely adore this app. I use it everyday, multiple times a day. Easy to use, very simple and informative, and also feels very sacred with its minimalism and ancient looking images. Absolutely fantastic.

Don't get for visiting Southern Africa. The readings for Southern Africa are wrong. I have contacted the app support and received replies, but they refuse to believe me that the readings have changed. This app was great until they decided to ignore my country of origin. If they fix it, I will give a positive rating, but until then...

Great Catholic App. An App for daily-use. Details liturgical calendar days and readings. Make sure to select your location in settings menu. There is an option to buy more content if desired.

Terrible meditations but good calendar. This is a good calendar but theeditations for feast days and saints is terrible. The history of many saints is just flat out wrong. This app seems to have a liberal slant to it, but if you just use it as a calendar, you should be fine.

Would prefer Traditional Calendar. Rather have the traditional calendar for those who do not subscribe to the modern Vatican II "re-write". I've deleted this app off my phone until a proper update is added. Also second the suggestion of joining it with the iPhone calendar if/when you add the traditional calendar.

Would be useful if.... This app would be useful if it showed you the color of the day... White, green, purple, etc. without it I still have to consult other sources. Also I can't figure out how to enlarge the text so it's tough to read...

Simple but handy. This is a VERY simple app, mostly text. Print is small, but is a helpful app for anyone who wants, well, a Catholic calendar.

A Must Have for All Catholic. This is a wonderful cheat sheet for Catholics who need a little reminder of the liturgical calender... if I would make one suggestion/plea is PLEASE create or add on the 1962 Liturgical Calender for the traditionalists out there.  

Needs notifications for holy days of obligation. Please! I need push notifications for holy days of obligation. Just a little red indicator on the app would be nice when its a holy day.

Great App!. Simple and easy to use. Looking forward to future updates.

Liturgy of the hours. Simple way to have access to prayers (liturgy of the hours) at any time! Perfect for the layperson trying improve their prayer lives; it's not just for priests and religious!

Spiritual Weapon. This app is an awesome weapon for the spiritual battles we face daily. It allows me to make prayer time an option every time I use my phone.

1962 Calendar needed. This app would be a lot more helpful if it had the old calendar as an option.

Very useful!. As a seminarian this app has been immensely helpful to keep me on track of the daily feasts of the Church! It is a well designed app and is very useful. I use it everyday.

Language. Indispensible tool only one comment a version in spanish would be very useful

Love this app!. This app is very interesting. It does not have all the saints for every day, though.

Great daily app. Intuitive interface and easy to follow design.

Great app!. Simple, includes story of saint (though I wish some days includes more), and daily readings and prayers.

Wonderful even for non-Catholics. I find this a handy devotional regardless of yout faith. An extra is the lives and histories of the saints and other important people of the faith whose lives are highlighted on most days. All in all a very enjoyable devotional tool to be used throughout the dat

Great app. It needs all the saints' feast days though. Some one said that they wanted a 'christan' callendar... Well Catholics are the original christans. But what ever if u aren't catholic still download it and maybe u can learn something new ;)

Good. Keep up the good work I like catholic apps I would like to see a catholic bible next

A+ delivers as promised!. Great app for those trying to learn more and / or follow the daily reAdings, maybe there could be a short bio ok the saint or feast for those who are not catholic or just don't know. Please don't give this app a low rating just because your not catholic. Great app. Free yay!!

What a great resource!. Great app for moms and dads, too! Love getting the Liturgy of the Hours spoon fed to me and the readings at the touch of a button anywhere at anytime. Thanks! EbethW

Use it everyday. It's great and with the Apple Watch app I always know who's feast day it is and the daily reading.

At first look, this app is top-notch. I've had iBreviary for a while, but now that I've seen this app's cleaner interface, I'm ready to switch. What a great app for free!

Perfect. Just what I've been looking for, includes not only daily info about saints etc but choice of morning, afternoon, evening prayers.

Adequate, interesting, but not useful. Chockfull of data, but short on information. Navigation and display are adequate to task. IMO, not worth an icon unless you really need to know this stuff.

Great App. I've been using this app since 2012, so far so good! Loving it!

Great app. Great app It is really good that people think about god aswell and make apps like this

Very Well Done. I love this app and it helps me to remember all the saints' feast days!!! Thank you so much! It's great to have a bunch of quality Catholic apps out there!

Disappointed. I've had this App for years. I used to be able to access "Office of Hours" daily and check Mass readings for any day. I'm not sure when they changed, however, only current day Mass order is available. Everything else requires a purchase.

Fantastic app - great way to learn about the saints. Really easy to use calendar with lots of good information -- albeit with a plug for Universalis' $30 program -- definitely glad I added it though.

ON THE GO. As an executive business woman and mother whom is always on the go, this app came in so very handy. However, i only wished it had a choice of laguages like Spanish.
