Beautiful
This app is great. It is basically the Novus Ordo mixed with the Benedictine Divine Office. Thankfully also I have heard, that there will be a fully Vetus Ordo option with the specific office of Prima in the fall. Overall great app. It’s a new app and still going through its early development but it is overall well done.
Thanks.Show lessbest youtube intromaker

Hello, thanks! Prime was surpressed and it’s psalms folded into lauds and other offices in the novus ordo, but starting this fall we will be integrating also the vetus ordo including of course prime!Beautiful But Missing Prima
Hello developers,
This app is a beautiful app, but it misses the office of Prima, which is one of the greatest offices.

A beautiful compilation and a true gift from the sisters to the world. Many many thanks as these chants accompany on my Lenten journey this year.lame65

Thank you!An amazing resource
What a gift!
…. Except that the autoscroll feature hides the neums that I’m supposed to be singing! I’m sure it’s complex to get things to line up on all the different screens, and I’m sure they’re working on a fix, but the app is frustrating to the point of being unusable for me on my iphone.
I hope the makers are able to allocate more resources for the development of this incredible offering.Show lessbasic instructions

Hello, just to let you know soon we will be publishing a fix for the sync issues!Devine office prayer book
I LOVE this app and have been using it everyday. I am a person that loves the feel of a book in my hand. Is it possible to purchase the copy of Devine office that the sisters use? Their chants do not line up with any of my devine office copies and I know it’s because the sisters are using a devine office made for monastic use. The problem that I’m having is I want the exact copy the sister’s use so I can go along. I will pay any price and buy from any source. Thank you!Show lesscharles78215
Amazing Treasure of the Faith
This app is a huge gift to humanity! Whether you are learning to chant, wanting to incorporate it into a daily practice or stuck in a parish without chant this app gives you the opportunity to practice with beautiful recordings perfectly lined up with the liturgical year.
Since it’s still a work in progress there are some features that will get better with time. It will be fantastic when the search function works well. It would also be great if at some point in addition to searching you could look through an index alphabetical by function (hymn, introit, communion etc). There is the occasional issue with a psalm verse being a different melodically than the recording (example psalm tone written but melismatic line sung) and rarely a screen showing the next chant and stays there until the correct chant is sung.
No complaints at all though, so happy to have this amazing resource! It’s a must for all Catholics.Show lessnb260

Thank you!Svelte but looking forward to continued development
I like this app and the concept is amazing. It’s very lovely to see the translations light up as the text is sung.
I have a few quibbles that I hope get worked out in the course of time:
1-often the chant notation doesn’t sync up correctly. Often it only appears on screen after the text has been sung because it scrolls too slowly. If you’d like to sing along sometimes you’re plum out of luck.
2-the image of the chant scores appears to be a scrolling image file, rather than clean vector graphics (gabc code, for instance) which is annoying.
3-you can’t override auto scroll; since the speed isn’t correct this is frustrating. (And I wish there was an option to have the image flash rather than scroll; constant scrolling can be very taxing after a while. People with car sickness may struggle.)
I imagine many of these things will be worked out eventually. Regardless, it’s a great resource as is and it’s an excellent way to peer in on the monastic life and get a sense of their prayer. It’s also a great way to absorb the lived rhythm and cadences of chant by people who do it every day.Show lessPipeDreamer

Thanks for the review and suggestions - we are working on improving synch in the short term with finer grained control for us to override when it gets off. In the long term we are working on a way of natively rendering the GABC as you suggest. At this point we can also consider flashing rather than scrolling, thank you for this suggestion. In the meantime there is the ability to take the score full screen which I hope alleviates the problem when it occurs. We have a long ways to go but a roadmap for getting there!Great source for the liturgy of the hours
However, lately I can hear this music in the background which I find distracting from prayer, other than that beautiful experience, it’s like being at the abbey praying along with the nuns.jirodriguez
Wow!
What an unexpectedly wonderful app!
I saw a random advert for this is and it intrigued me as love meditating and relaxing to Gregorian chant and church type music.
So I downloaded it and it surpassed my expectations, in terms of usability and content.
Great little app.
Whether you use it for religious purposes or simply to relax with and contemplate, really beautiful.
God bless to the creators of it.
Thank you.Show lessI wonder...
