Not good
Every time I open the app it tells me that my subscription has run out. I click renew and choose an option. When I close the app and reopen it I get the same error message and when I click renew it gives me the options to renew when I click on the option I chose it tells me that I have renewed and the next date of renewal. I close the app, when I open it up again I get the same error message and I go through the process all over again. I have deleted and reinstalled the app and I get the same error message again. Until this gets fixed I will only give one star and tell people who ask me it is not worth the headache of going through what I go through every time I open this app. It is not worth this headache every time. FIX THIS!!!

September, 2024 Issue Problematic
First, I tried to contact Lit Press via the app and could not find any way to do that, so I am writing a review.
The Sept, 2024 issue has problems with the daily calendar drop down menu. When you fix it, I write an updated review and give the app five stars because it is very good. I have been using it since it’s inception.

New update has bugs
I’m unable to open any dates in the app and the current dates are blank. I miss my daily readings.

App crashes
I often end up using my app but when I do it has been crashing as soon as I open it. After opening 2 and on occasion 3 times, it actually opens.
Great but I wish I could scroll through each day page by page
I wish it was possible to click on a date scroll through page by page. Instead each section is separated and you have to go back to the calendar again and again to open the menu and see the next item for the day.
It would also be helpful if there was a “Today” button somewhere obvious so you could quickly go to the correct date.
I love that every time I return to the app I see the cover with its beautiful image and just tap it to return to where I was reading.
Overall it is a great app and really nice way to read the daily readings. I usually appreciate the reflection. The daily saint is often good too—I like that the net is cast wide to include those who are not officially “saints” and includes those outside the church. This is very important to me. I’d like to see more inclusion.

Crashes often, app won’t open
After more than 10 attempts, including powering off my iPad- the app has crashed each time. Time to cancel subscription, ad this problem had been reported & not resolved.

Sorry to hear of your trouble with the app. Please contact us at techsupport@litpress.org and we can hopefully help work through the issue.
The content is good, the people and the app should be suspects
I purchased my subscription from the App Store. It worked until it did not. My credentials failed and the App Developers refused to support trying say the issue was with Apple App Store. Not just incorrect, but a lie. Then they simply stopped responding. Trash developers.

Crashes on iPads
I love this app, but it consistently crashes on my iPad. Additionally, randomly while using it, I’ll have to log back into the app. Unfortunately it takes several times using the correct user name & password. Can be aggravating. When this occurs I go to the website site!
Semi-worthless!
Sadly, this seems to be the only Catholic liturgical app that includes the Introduction Antiphon, Collect, and other Mass readings. All other “Catholic” apps just jump to the First, Psalm, and Gospel readings (as if that was all the liturgy involved)! Very sad of other apps. That said, the Give Us this Day app is BROKEN and it’s IT department, as friendly as they are, can’t help you fix a broken app (broken and non-functioning on different phones). It’s broken and only gets updated annually (at beast). Do not recommend, specially since you have to pay for an annual subscription.

Love the digital vs print!
I like the convenience of the daily readings at my fingertips. If I had any complaints it would be the occasional ‘need to login’ every couple of months even though the subscription is up to date. Also there have been times where the app quits for no reason. Usually it takes about a day then it’s working fine again.
