User reviews

IOS App Not ready

I appreciate the hard work, and am very thankful for the chant tools. But the iOS app (both iPad and iPhone) just does not work correctly.

Wish it worked

Chants won’t play
Lack of organization
Things are beyond the screen
Things move when I tap them
I wish this would work

Best Gregorian App

This blows all the other tools out of the water. It has the most comprehensive ordinary and propers for masses, and the best psalm tool. There are some improvements I’d make-
1- have a “simple view” and “complex view” for the psalm tone tool- all we need to select is the tone, special ending/solemn, whether it shows all the verses written out or bonded/italicized, and the psalm/canticle!
2- there is an “English” version, however, none of the psalms are in English and it would require an external source to work.
3- the propers for the Novus ordo calendar don’t sync with the calendar like the traditional calendar dates do
4- having the other hours integrated into this would be so huge!

That’s all for now, but thank you so much Ben!
God Bless you!

Great but buggy

It is incredibly useful, with full chants, psalm tones, Liber Brevior, and Chants Abreges options. However, playback doesn’t work for 90% of the chants. That is a killer for me as a cantor.

Sound doesn’t work

Fix the sound before I delete it and I’ll update my review.
