Open Sans

I love this app. It’s so easy to pray the Liturgy of the Hours and read the daily Mass readings. Please add Open Sans to the font selections. Thanks.

Also, I would love to see the option for the new, Ecumenical Grail Psalter (inclusive language).

Amazing app.

I love the Universalis app. It’s like having a breviary in your pocket! It’s very convenient as you can read the liturgy of the hours anywhere you are. It’s perfect for me because I am visually impaired, and as a result, it’s hard for me to read a traditional breviary, but I have no trouble reading with the Universalis app since I can adjust the font size. I would not be able to pray the liturgy of the hours without this app. I am so thankful that I downloaded this app. It’s worth every penny. It has helped my prayer life and faith life tremendously. Thank you to the developers, and may God bless you all.

More books please, both free and paid!

This is the only app purchase i have ever been totally satisfied with. It truly has everything.

This app continues to impress me every day

I started using Universalis a few years ago ago for Morning Prayer. I love the speakers’s tone and reading speed. Once iOS 14 allowed developers to use widgets, this app immediately creates beautiful widgets that are color-coded based on the liturgical calendar. Additionally, I just discovered that they have a CarPlay app for easy access to prayers in the car. This app and it’s developed deserve more credit!

Please add liturgical year.

Love you app and options available. Although tempted, I do not open the app during Mass. For Sundays, I have perused the readings at home, but I have trouble in some churches where the books are arranged by liturgical year. Could you add that information (eg, 25th Sunday in ordinary time, year B)?

Liturgical Living Made Easier

My wife and I recently have decided to have our family homeschool and live liturgically. And this app makes everything unbelievably easier for me as the leader of the house. The saints of the day is really really interesting. Having all this integrated into our shared iCal is amazing for our family. Oh and Latin! 🥰 keep up the great work!

Excellent App, with lots of useful features

At its heart this provides a very helpful reference for daily prayers and mass attendance, always providing the right readings to fit the calendar. Worth exploring the extensive additional features which include having an alternative language for the order of mass, making it much easier to follow mass when travelling abroad.

Really good, just one problem

I've been using the Catholic calendar app for a long time, but I've decided to get the Universalis app to get the mass readings and instructions. I'm not going to Mass at the moment for several reasons, but I have been before, and as I'm blind, I always found it hard to know when to stand, sit or kneel. I'm glad that it includes the calendar, and the audio prayers are great too. The only problem is sometimes when I try to change the hymn in the daily prayers, or the reading in the mass readings the app crashes. Please fix this.

One of my favorite apps for Lectio Divina

It’s easy to use and intuitive.

Just one request, would it be possible to incorporate the mass readings (First Reading and Second Reading) to Lectio Divina as well? I end up switching between the “Lectio Divina” tab and “Mass Readings” tab. Or maybe an “Expanded Lectio Divina” tab so people have an option between just the Gospel or Gospel plus Mass Readings when doing Lectio Divina. Thanks!
