Occasionally, being from outside the US, the daily readings do not align. ### 5/5 — Best way to begin your day *2026-06-12* This is my daily go to site in the morning before I begin my day. The daily readings and offered reflection videos guide me through the day. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-11, version 4.0.26058* Good ### 5/5 — Love… *2026-06-06, version 4.0.26058* I love reading the daily readings. ### 5/5 — The Word of The Lord *2026-06-06, version 4.0.26058* I heard about this app listening to Deacon Francis Vallier’s Sunrise Meditations from Enders Island on YouTube and it brought the Word of the Lord into my daily life, opening my eyes to the truth of the Lord and Salvation with Psalms and texts from the Scripture, Old Testament and New Testament, just as the Church reads every day. I find peace and exhilaration in the Word of the Lord. Praise be to God, and thank you Council of US Bishops for this wonderful app. I also get emails from USCCB and I love the Lectio Divina each week that come to my inbox every Wednesday. God Bless you all! ### 2/5 — Good, except… *2026-06-04, version 4.0.26058* I’m sure there were prayerful decisions made when programming the Bible Chat feature, but be careful.. riding the fence is a slippery slope. Keep your focus on the Spirit and I’m sure it’ll be fine. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-04, version 4.0.26058* Thank God for this. This allows me to read the reading of the bible every day. ### 5/5 — Spanish and english! *2026-05-31, version 4.0.26058* Best app for misal ### 5/5 — Grateful *2026-05-22, version 4.0.26058* I am so grateful for this wonderful app , I can stay in alignment with my daily spiritual journey and provide my spiritual hunger with vital information , scripture and the gospel. Staying close to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I am so impressed by this! I am not Catholic and I am truly baffled that most Catholics do not read Catholic reading. ### 5/5 — Totalmente funcional *2026-05-08, version 4.0.26058* Me encanta, es fácil de usar, además que puedes encontrar las lecturas de cualquier fecha del año, incluso las que ya pasaron… totalmente recomendable! ### 3/5 — Bug *2026-05-07, version 4.0.26058* This is a great app. But the Daily Reflection is not working. ### 5/5 — Thank You *2026-05-04, version 4.0.26058* I enjoy this App, as when I wake each morning, I listen to the daily readings 2/3 times, then I open my physical Missal, so I have listened, absorbed and read God’s word, beginning my day with God’s spiritual bread and nourishment for my body, soul and spirit. Many blessings Maria ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2026-04-10, version 4.0.26058* Start your day with the daily readings…….. ### 5/5 — A *2026-04-05, version 4.0.26058* It's excellent ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Vulgar ads *2026-07-27, version 4.0.26058* I had an ad banner pop up that contained fully nude pornographic images.

I would pay $1-3 not to see ads forever on app. Embed the readings and cite the source. ### 1/5 — Why the inappropriate ads? *2026-05-26, version 4.0.26058* Catholic Daily Readings has begun running ads, some of which are promiscuous and all of which are inappropriate.
