### 5/5 — +

*2026-05-18*

Thank you for the update. Working well now!

### 1/5 — Blank pages

*2026-05-11*

There’s nothing on the app when I open it other than the words Daily Readings. Something isn’t working correctly.

**Developer response:** Hello Padrechuck!

I have just released version 3.3.2 that I hope fixes the loading problems.

God bless!

Patrick

### 5/5 — Happy again

*2026-05-11*

This has been a great app. I enjoy reading my scriptures and I follow along with my other app the USSB to hear it. Thank you for fixing the problems recently where the app was blank. ☺️

### 5/5 — Thank You…

*2026-05-07*

Been using it for years with much appreciation. A service. But it is not functioning now and has not been for a week. I am in Italy so it might have to do with servers, but I miss it.

**Developer response:** Hello!

I have just released version 3.3.2 that I hope fixes the loading problems.

God bless!

Patrick

### 1/5 — Blank

*2026-05-04*

Readings are not currently loading unfortunately

**Developer response:** Hello Tiki!

I have just released version 3.3.2 that I hope fixes the loading problems.

God bless!

### 5/5 — New and improved Lectionarium

*2025-10-02*

Please consider having today's reading load by default instead of loading a blank screen that says "select a mass." 99% of the time, today's mass is what the user wants when launching the app. Also, the readings for August 2025 are messed up – 8/4 through 8/13 are missing and there is an extra entry for 8/14 (vigil and mass during the day plus an unnecessary placeholder). Appreciate your efforts in encouraging the reading of Scripture!

Edit: Thanks for the recent update to the interface! Happy to be using this five-star app!

**Developer response:** Hello ChiCricketFan!

I have attempted to implement the feature you requested, and have fixed the bug with the dates I hope!  Please let me know if you have other thoughts, and thanks for the feedback!

God Bless

### 5/5 — Fixed in v3.1.1

*2025-09-24*

V3.1.1 fixes the day/date issue I mentioned in previous reviews and comments. Thanks to the developer for their responses and efforts. I have upgraded my rating of the app accordingly.

### 3/5 — Day/date bug not fixed

*2025-09-16*

The September 2025 did not fix the day/date issue caused by the previous update.

**Developer response:** Hey idahomacguy,

I’ve got an update going through app review right now that I hope should fix this issue for you!  Please let me know if it doesn’t, and thanks for the review!

God bless!

### 4/5 — Great app but needs a few tweaks

*2025-07-26*

Please consider having today's reading load by default instead of loading a blank screen that says "select a mass." 99% of the time, today's mass is what the user wants when launching the app. Also, the readings for August 2025 are messed up – 8/4 through 8/13 are missing and there is an extra entry for 8/14 (vigil and mass during the day plus an unnecessary placeholder).

### 3/5 — I love this but can the dates be fixed?

*2025-07-04*

I love this and use it almost daily but sometimes the dates don’t match up with the actual weekday/feast. Like in July it is off by one day, which means I’ve spent 3 days reading the wrong days readings. Again, it’s a small thing and I love this app!

**Developer response:** Hey Rrchrd,

I’ve got an update going through app review right now that I hope should fix this issue for you!  Please let me know if it doesn’t, and thanks for the review!

God bless!
