I hope this will be fixed soon so I can go back to using the App daily for Mass and Office. ### 3/5 — New UX design & notifications *2026-03-30, version 7.0.1* The design is completely new. It’s going to take time to adjust. But a couple things to mention. 1. Scrolling in Brevarium can be done by going up or down. In Missale it’s only left to right. Can scrolling be up and down too? 2. With this update it seems as though in app notifications are possible however once it’s gone from the Home Screen, where do you go to read them? I have a badge with 1 notification but can’t clear it. 3. Contact - from the home page and tapping iMass at the bottom and then Contact opens an email to info@l***mass.net. The email is invalid and gets returned. I know this update took a lot of time and effort I am very thankful for your hard work and dedication and for keeping it free. God bless! ### 4/5 — O.P. Missing *2026-03-29, version 7.0.1* I use this app three times a day on average. Our Dominican Tertiary chapter prays the 1962 OP Divinum Officium. Sadly, it’s gone from the update. I hope that it will be returned. ### 2/5 — Déception *2026-03-28, version 7.0.1* Dommage qu’il n’y ait plus les rubriques du Barroux !!!!! ### 4/5 — 2 flaws on the update *2026-03-26, version 7.0.1* 1. Missing lines on the bottom of each page of the English translation 2. When switching between languages, it doesn’t keep you on the same page or place in the mass always. It takes you back to the beginning. If these are fixed, then this updated version would be great. I appreciate the input in red of what is happening at the alter. It is great for those new and old to the latin mass. ### 3/5 — It was perfect *2026-03-22, version 7* I like this app. I use it. But now it’s more strange, I can’t get used to this new interface. The old missal interface was, I think, much better. And, maybe I’m wrong, the new system does not say the Saint of the day or the class. This app is excellent, but it was better before. ### 4/5 — Please add back a few features from prior version *2026-03-22, version 7* Love the app and appreciate the new look but that would be great if you could add back the ability to filter on just the propers for mass and to skip to different sections of breviary. Also, it would be nice to see the feast name and ranking for each day for the various Missals. ### 2/5 — Not the SSPX *2023-08-23, version 6.2.0* It might be the Latin Mass but it’s still not the SSPX… ### 4/5 — The TRADS *2022-09-01, version 6.0.3* Amazing...for Trads. I like it! I would recommend to any Trad. I kindly recommend them to change it to “iTrad”. ### 4/5 — Still, go Mass in person. *2022-08-28, version 6.0.3* Love the app, but I’d rather attend Novus Ordo in person than the Tridentine virtually. Just my two cents. But anyways, long live the Latin Rite! ### 3/5 — It used to be better *2022-01-04, version 6.0.1* Lots of problems now. I need to expand the frame everyday. There is no back link to go to the Home Screen. The numbering of the verses in the psalms is off for many of the palms. Links to Mass parts don’t work (for instance, can’t get to the prayer before the Mass). Even some typos. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New Version *2026-07-05, version 7.0.3* The new version is horrible, unable to follow the missal, it’s not user friendly. What’s bothersome is there no options between the different versions. So we no longer use the app. ### 1/5 — Still No Monastic Breviary *2026-05-02, version 7.0.1* Latest update removed support for several version of the Office including the monastic breviary. The android app was updated to support the monastic breviary (I use it on my ereader). The android app is just all around better, not sure why they haven’t updated the iOS version to match the features in the android app. ### 1/5 — Too bad, now my phone is too old to support iMass! *2026-03-23, version 6.3.0* Dear iMass, I have an iPhone 8. But now iMass doesn’t work on my phone. Could you post a simpler version that will still work for those of us with older phones? Thank you! ### 1/5 — Problemi col nuovo aggiornamento *2026-03-22, version 7* Pur avendo scaricato tutto l’anno liturgico ogni volta che chiudo l’app e rientro mi dice che non esiste alcun download. Prima era molto meglio. Più semplice e chiara ### 1/5 — New review due to deletions *2024-06-02, version 6.3.0* I have left several reviews over the past three years, which are all of a sudden gone from this site. Very upsetting, as the problems with this app are persistent and ongoing to this day. None of the links within the missal work to get to the portions of the mass such as the confession prayers, or spiritual communion, despite having previous responses that “we will work on it”. Never worked on or fixed, just ignored. So frustrating and utterly disappointing. Apparently Apple removes legitimate negative reviews for some reason. Totally uncalled for, and means the ratings are bogus. ### 1/5 — Why is this not available in the US??? *2024-01-26, version 6.3.0* Why? ### 1/5 — Admins Never Take Old Locations Down *2023-10-10, version 6.2.0* I wonder if they’ll even see this ### 1/5 — I give up *2023-06-13* Over a year since my last review, and absolutely nothing has been updated or improved. Patience may be a virtue, bit this is simply unacceptable. Links are still all broken, etc. “We’ll work on it” was the last response…before the Second Coming perhaps? **Developer response:** We’ll work on it! ### 1/5 — Still Bugs Unfortunately *2022-08-14, version 6.0.3* Well, this latest update has not solved the problem of the links for the inserted Ante and Communion prayers being functional. Unfortunately very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Inutile: copia da sitoweb Divinum Officium *2021-04-19, version 5.0.5* Presa per avere la S. Messa in latino sempre disponibile, noto che 1) si collega al sito Divinum Officium e che 2) ha bisogno della rete internet... Per quale motivo la si dovrebbe pagare? Usare i soldi di chi ve l’ha comprata per farne una degna di questo nome. Grazie ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thanks Be To God For This App! *2026-03-28, version 7.0.1* Thank you so much to the makers of the iMass app! It allows me to have the time to say the Divine Office every day by making it easy to have with me and saving me from having to set my books every day! Thank you for the change that saves where you are in the Office when you take a break. May God reward you abundantly! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-02-05, version 6.3.1* Beautiful :) ### 5/5 — Messe en France 🫶🏻 🇫🇷 *2025-02-20, version 6.3.1* Toujours pas de messes en français.. ? C’est une belle application 🇫🇷🙏🏻 MERCI ### 5/5 — Great App. Problem with update. *2023-07-19, version 6.1.2* After July 23 update, the app. will no longer load on my Android Samsung tablet. Please fix bug. ### 5/5 — The Eternal Mass *2023-02-16, version 6.0.3* Do you want a Authentic Mass? Then attend an Extraordinary Mass. Why attend an Ordinary Mass. The presence of God is ### 5/5 — FORMIDABLE *2022-04-09, version 6.0.1* Merci beaucoup pour cette application qui, dans ce monde, offre une voie pour prier toujours et partout. ### 5/5 — Great App. Traditional. *2021-12-30, version 6.0.1* Keep it alive. ### 5/5 — Miss S- America *2021-11-19, version 6.0.1* Thank you for the online Catholic liturgies….. we certainly appreciate your concern. Thank you for your prayers and sacrifices! ### 5/5 — Great App. Text size too small *2021-10-25, version 6.0.1* The font size on my iPhone XS Pro is minuscule. Too small to be read with my eyes. Same thing on my wife's iPhone 12 Pro. (Both iOS 15.0.2) We tried the options, all the way up to +10, but the number makes no difference. I know the setting took, because when I come back to the settings, the number was updated. Also, the Pro's have big screens and the option page itself is minuscule. Lots of blank space. It would be nice to size the page there according to the screen size. I can still use the app, but I have to manually stretch the image on the screen to read the text. iPad text size is OK on my iPad Pro, but the options do not work there either. ### 5/5 — Thank you! Thank you! One suggestion *2021-10-08* Updated: the font is way to small now. How to resize it like it was? Are there options? I use this all the time for Mass side I don’t have a missal. I like the rubrics included but I have to go to options every time I open to re-enable them. Is there a way to save that? Once in a blue moon it will but normally it won’t. Thanks! **Developer response:** Sure, look for the “options” on the missal and breviary page and play with the different font sizes until they are good for you. For me I set them to +2 and they are good enough. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
