### 1/5 — No support

*2025-12-04, version 1.80*

The highlight function quit working and there is no one to fix it.  They don’t support the product

### 2/5 — No support

*2025-11-17*

I have had this app for ten years. The highlight feature quit working and there is no one to talk to about fixing it.  I purchased the app thinking if I paid for it, there would be support later if needed.

### 4/5 — Can you add more languages?

*2025-03-08, version 1.80*

Wish there are more languages.

### 4/5 — Love it but how do you highlight?

*2024-12-31, version 1.80*

Great app but how do I highlight a verse?

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-11-03, version 1.80*

Easy to use, helpful to navigate, excellent app.  Recommend it highly.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2024-08-10, version 1.80*

Such a shame, cannot navigate to settings, select texts nor see annotations as all of the above actions lead to crash on iOS 17.6.1

### 5/5 — Still the best

*2024-03-15, version 1.80*

I love this app and use it to get context to the daily readings. No wifi is required and it integrates with iMissal. It still works well, no annoying ad popups or someone trying to sell me something.

### 2/5 — Functional issues

*2023-11-12, version 1.80*

When viewing the tax on the top line is cut in half or not visible on some pages. This makes the app not very pleasant to use. I tried different settings, different fonts, different line spacing, but the top line seems to always be cut off by a header at the top of the page. also, the help button does not work. It brings you to a page that is not functioning on the web and therefore I could not contact the developer through the app. This was my initial impression and I have a lot more to explore but this point given the functional issues I’m not sure that I will continue to use the app.

### 2/5 — Works on iPad not on iPhone

*2021-03-29, version 1.80*

Works fine for iPad. Can’t change Eucharistic Prayer. Stays stuck on number 2. Would not recommend if buying strictly for iPhone. Needs to be repaired but does not appear programmers are updating the application any longer.

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2020-02-23, version 1.80*

I use this app almost every Sunday, but today is is crashing on me. Does it need to be updated for iOS 13?
