It often won't let me get into the content even though it says I logged in successfully - it only stays on the login page. Also if I am able to get in, it won't download the issue. The app says it is downloading but then closes abruptly. Please fix all the bugs ### 3/5 — Was good…now glitches and shuts down app. *2023-03-16* Loved this to access text when on the go! ### 2/5 — Blank *2022-06-29, version 5.0.2* When I try to open Mass it gives me a blank page. It won’t open the readings for the day. It opens on the iPad, but I don’t take that to church. Can you help? I am paying for headings at this point. Very disappointing. ### 2/5 — Great when it works *2022-04-26* Great when it works, but too often shows an error message upon opening or when trying to download, and frequently shows a blank screen when clicking on mass readings etc. Very frustrating! ### 2/5 — Used to be good *2022-04-08* App isn’t working on the iPhone at the moment. Isn’t showing the words for Mass or prayers. Badly needs as update ### 3/5 — I paid and it shows “error to download” *2022-04-02* I paid the subscription and it shows “error to download” ### 2/5 — App not always working *2021-10-02, version 5.0.2* I do the subscriptions monthly and there are times where I don’t get the daily prayers or any other feature I paid for. It’s blank. It happened this October. Is there a solution??? ### 1/5 — Unreliable App *2018-02-04* Out of sync with Aust. Different version if bible used. Responses are different. I have to delete app and reinstal each month as it will mot download the new months content. Real clunky, such a shame as its neat lil app. . ### 1/5 — Sad *2017-12-31* Very disappointed that this has become a paid subscription app. ### 1/5 — Frustrated! *2017-12-11, version 5.0.2* I’ve always enjoyed having my prayers so close at hand on my iPhone. However, I cannot download my issues. It prompts me to login, I do...and then it prompts me to login in again. That’s all I can do! Yes, I have the correct login information. I have tried re-installing the app. Twice. Very unhappy. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-12-08, version 5.0.2* I've been a subscriber of the Magnificat for countless years and have always been able to use the app or the hard copy, whichever is the most convenient. I LOVE using the app during travels and time away. That seems to have changed this month. Now if I want to use the app, I have to pay an extra $2 per month! Already thought the price for the subscription was hefty. To have them take away what used to be complimentary, in my opinion, is unreasonable. Contemplating canceling my current subscription. Bad business Magnificat! ### 1/5 — Sad. They create features then take away *2017-11-08, version 5.0.2* Don’t bother I’m canceling the subscription soon as they keep promising features and even have toggles for using them and they aren’t there. One used to be able to change font. Now they have static photos of pages. Useless I can read the church copy for that. Get a new programmers who knows what they are doing ### 1/5 — Font size option not working *2017-11-07, version 5.0.2* There are plenty of choices for font size but none of them work. The font size is still way too big for me to read comfortably. I’ve been trying for over a week to get the app to load and I finally got it to load this morning! ### 1/5 — Please update! *2017-10-24, version 5.0.2* Please Update! With the October issue app will not open as well as indicating that I am receiving a different version. I miss my daily readings! Lou Anne ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2023-03-07* This app keeps crashing on my wife’s iPhone 13 Max ### 1/5 — Not loading and I’ve already paid for the subscription…Very disappointing! *2022-09-04, version 5.0.2* See Subject line ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2022-04-06* I used to love it doesn’t work anymore have cancelled my subscription ### 1/5 — Downloads very erratic *2022-04-02* This month’s edition can’t be downloaded on any of my devices. It is very frustrating as it should be a straightforward process. This happens on a regular basis unfortunately. ### 1/5 — It’s Just Blank *2022-02-02, version 5.0.2* February 2022 downloaded. Most topics are blank. Did not have this problem last month. ### 1/5 — Bugs. It’s a shame *2019-06-14* Such a good app. When it’s working... unfortunately, every month when the new content “downloads” it gives me so much trouble to load, I end up halfway through the month and it either doesn’t download or the pages are all blank :( such a shame, it’s a great way to build a habit of prayer. ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2018-10-04, version 5.0.2* I am a long time subscriber and am so frustrated with this app! I travel and need to access this app on my IPhone and iPad, this one of many apps I use and without question the worst. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2018-09-06* The app has been crashing a lot lately. Can the developers please do something about this? ### 1/5 — Not happy *2018-07-06, version 5.0.2* I downloaded this application and it keeps closing! I wanted to try before paying. Uninstalled ### 1/5 — If Subscriber Already, Skip App, Read Online *2018-02-26, version 5.0.2* Though I have a 4 year subscription to Magnificat, the app requires a further payment to see an issue. Reading the same issue online requires NO further payment. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best App on my iPhone! *2022-10-14, version 5.0.2* Keeps me in touch with the whole Church daily!! Thank you! God bless you always! To Jesus through Mary! ### 5/5 — Support to the habit of regular prayer *2022-08-12* I have been using this App for 6 months now and I find it very helpful for developing and sustaining a ‘do-able’ prayer life. I’m not a Roman Catholic -yet it all works very well for my private devotions. I will be renewing my subscription which is extremely affordable. ### 5/5 — Great Prayer Guide *2020-04-19, version 5.0.2* Highly recommend for anyone looking to grow in their relationship to God through prayer. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2020-01-27, version 5.0.2* I think the app is great. I prefer having the paper copy, but I’ve moved out of the country and not convenient to have it mailed for now. I find the app to work fine. The functionality is intuitive and has all the content I’d use in the paper copy. ### 5/5 — Very good app *2019-07-13* If you do not have time to pray the full Divine Offices then this is the app for you. Short and sweet ### 5/5 — App *2019-05-28* Love this app. Works fine. Never crashes ### 5/5 — UPDATE *2017-10-05* As other readers have stated PLEASE whoever is responsible for updating this app PLEASE do so already. I too have the hard copy of the Magnificat but I am sometimes caught away from home and would love to be able to use the online version. Thank you and God Bless ### 5/5 — Please update! *2017-10-05, version 4.1.7* The app will not even open anymore, since it is incompatible with the new iOS. I miss my daily readings! ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-09-26* This app is a fantastic resource. I've been reading The Magnificat for years. The only issue you may have in the future is that at present it's not IOS 11 compatible. Hope the update is with us soon. ### 5/5 — A great app *2017-09-21* I have the hard copy subscription but the app is also convenient on the go. I would agree with others that it is often difficult to download each new month. I often have to delete and then re-download in order to renew content. I hope the app is updated very soon to be compatible with iOS 11!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
