What a Blessing
My husband & I absolutely love to have these readings each morning. It is quite educational for me, a new convert to the Catholic Church. We have hours of enlightening discussions which is founded in the word of God. It’s Intricacy of Providence weaving countless threads into a eternal tapestry of glory. Thank you for these grace filled moments from God.
Love the App.

Universalis provides a superior English breviary
Those who regret the American adoption of colloquial language in prayer will delight that there is now an inexpensive alternative online. Universalis provides a reverent usage of English for those who demand intelligence gent worship and prayer. All of this is provided not in a 4-volume bookset, but at a nominal cost. Universalis is an ongoing service that provides ongoing current information for subscribers. I, for one, am deeply grateful to our English brethren for this distinctive alternative!

Love this app. Makes praying the Liturgy doable
This app makes praying the Liturgy of the Hours very easy. I am very pleased with this app. I’ve been using it for for a few years now. I have the 4 book set and also Christian prayer but I find myself using the app over the books (and I love books!). I like that I can easily copy verses that move me so I can sen them to my loved ones. I really like the ability to see the Readings for the Mass each day and also the anniversary cards are a great bonus feature.

Essential Divine Office
If you pray the Divine Office,the Universalis app provides you with the exact text that is in the volumes, but without the weight and complexity of learning how to find your way through the books. Not only that, but as we are blessed with new Blesseds and Saints, it quickly updates with their correct readings. If you are a member of a religious order, you can set it to show your own particular memorials and saints. If you wish, you can choose to pray the Office for the dead. There is literally everything in here that you would get in the books, and in fact more. For a one time purchase you will get years of updates and additions. I highly recommend it.

SIMPLE YET THOROUGH SCRIPTURE THROUGHOUT EACH DAY
The app is beautiful in its simplicity, structure, adherence to the correct literary wordings, and thoroughness of readings and instructional stories. I start each day reading About Today, inspiring stories about the saints. I then read Readings at Mass, that are correct scripture readings for Mass each day of the year. Then I read the Office. In this way I gain knowledge and understanding of God’s desire for us to be obedient to His commandments, how He abhors wickedness and rewards righteousness with kindness and mercy. It helps me to focus each day on doing God’s will. Before falling asleep each day, I try to read the Compline, apologizing to God for any offense I may have committed, thanking Him for all the graces given during the day, and asking Him to keep me safe and near to Him forever.

Lectio Divina, Mass Readings, Compline…
This has been the best app I’ve ever used for my prayer life. I’ve tried Hallow, but this app is much better to my liking. I also use it for mass readings during the week because misalletes usually don’t contain the full reading during the week day.
The only issue I have is that I tried canceling the Mass Readings app that is also distributed by Universalis. Unfortunately they won’t let me cancel the Mass Readings app without also cancelling the Mass Readings function on my Universalis app. Now I’m getting charged for both apps. Hopefully somebody form customer service can contact me to help me get this resolved.

Transformed my prayer life
I always wanted to engage morning and evening prayer using the catholic liturgical calendar and liturgy of the hours. I had some success, but felt there should be a better way. The Universalis app is almost too good to be true. First of all, the app is world-class and offers a beautiful, super intuitive user interface. Furthermore, it meets the challenge to create a Breviary that is accurate, comprehensive and provides customization for each person or group to make their own decisions within the structure of the Liturgy of the Hours. My time in prayer has exploded from perhaps 15 minutes per day (on most days) to about an hour a day because of this app…and I never miss a day. It has inspired me so much that I have goals for growing my time in prayer each day further. Thank you for this life-giving app!

Love Universalis
I have used Universalis for many years, and love it. The format is very easy to use. The extra features (e.g. the books included, the optional meditations, and more) are helpful. I also really like the occasional emails I get with updates and news and such. I love it!
Simple And Effective
Easy way to pray the Liturgy of the Hours throughout the day, as well as learning more about the saint feast days. I like the easy navigation interface, and that you can create a iPhone widget for your Home Screen.
Quality application
This is an unpretentious and comprehensive application which assists with daily devotional prayer. It provides a clear guide to the liturgical readings and it even helps in my duties as sacristan in my parish. As well as that it offers access to some excellent books from some of the greatest Catholic writers and theologians. This app truly is the work of someone with a great devotion to Our Lord and his Church on earth. I’ve worked in software development for many years and Universalis really does pass muster for accuracy along with simplicity of design. Can’t praise it highly enough.
