Definitely needs better code
There are a few problems with this app. The first and most glaring, is the fact that the minute you launch it it spends 30 to 50 seconds in a “loading“ phase. There’s nothing for it to load, there’s been no request for anything new, it’s just poorly written, so it spends time doing something it doesn’t have to.
With all respect to the people who propagate the daily prayers and readings, they often make mistakes. Frequently, I have found there’s just no information.
Finally, in violation of number 22 of the constitution on the sacred liturgy, they changed the language.
It is good in a pinch, but if you want the daily readings and the daily office, and you want them in accordance with the mind of the church, this is not the app to use.

Great app
Use it daily for prayers, most often the Liturgy of the Hours, readings and meditation. I love that I can down load days or a full week when traveling so my prayer life won’t be disrupted.
Well done to the dev and support staff!

Has some advantages/some problems
My two complaints deal with reliability. I don’t know who coded it, but I have switched momentarily to another app and back, and iBreviary will say “Loading” for two minutes. What the heck are you loading? I was just using it.
Second, sometimes the words are just plain wrong (last week it changed “the foolish man cannot know this.” To “the stupid cannot know this.” I’ve never seen that particular translation. He also uses “inclusive” language which violates #22 on the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. And sometimes nothing (or incomplete texts) download.

Great new ui
Thanks for the updated UI. I love that the settings no longer block the text. You make it possible to always be able to pray the breviary no matter where I am or when it is.
Not working in original iPad Air
It works for more recent iPad versions but stopped working in original iPad Air and will not update. Maybe the fault is with Apple but still it’s very disappointing.
