For the past year the books arrive inconsistently. As of this month it is the 6 th of the month already and no book. I’m paid up until 2030. I’ve tried to download the digital copy which I should be able to do ,but every time I try it ask for more money. I’ve called about this problem more than once and receive guarantees that fall through. My next step if not resolved satisfactorily will be to cancel my subscription and request a refund. **Developer response:** Dear Friend, We are sorry to hear the USPS is not delivering your issue on time. In regards to access to the App, please email app@magnificat.com with your name and address and we will confirm your login. If you do know them, access the settings (gear icon on the top right), and then login with your email and password on file. Please be sure you have the latest version installed. Sincerely. ### 3/5 — App not working *2026-06-26, version 5.15.0* Recently the articles, especially the art ones have been in such a small print on the iPhone that they are impossible to read Also the back button is not responsive. There seems no way to adjust the font even when pressing A+ noting happens. Something changed a while ago. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Current Font Size Problem *2026-04-04, version 5.15.0* Magnificat is wonderful. Currently, the font is so small and most text does not respond to in-app size-change buttons. If you turn it sideways, the text is the size it is supposed to be. Happy to send screenshots and provide device information as needed! ### 4/5 — Really like this app *2025-12-31, version 5.15.0* Great app with helpful and polite customer service. Very useful app to have daily Mass readings and a good portion of the Divine Office right at your fingertips on your phone. Grateful for the Magnificat team and all they do to foster love of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Edit 12/31/25 This has worked great until a week ago. Still waiting for tech support to get back to me. All of the instructions given so far, including the one listed here to go into settings, don’t fix the problem. ### 3/5 — Mostly good *2025-05-08, version 5.12.0* I have trouble with the type size in April. Seems corrected now. Called the main phone number and the person said it was an Apple issue. Not! ### 3/5 — Where are the Bible notations?? *2025-04-03, version 5.12.0* I love the Magnificat app but why are the Bible chapter and verse notations not listed before the readings this month? They always were previously; I use them to read further in my Bible and now we have no idea where these readings are from. Please brings the notations back!! ### 1/5 — Access cancelled before subscription ended *2025-03-30, version 5.12.0* I have an annual subscription through April, but the app is not letting me download my March issue. I’ve tried to resolve by contacting Magnificat directly but have not received reply. I am frustrated that I am paying for something I cannot access or get resolved. I’m hoping a poor review will get their attention. ### 1/5 — Magnificat *2025-03-10* The Apple Store charges £1.99 for the monthly booklet but then I can’t seem to download. Really disappointing! **Developer response:** Please go to settings (gear icon on the top right corner), then status of memory and force download the month. This bug has been fixed. Thank you! ### 1/5 — USERS OUTSIDE UK & US ABANDONED *2025-02-28, version 5.3.0* The app containing readings from the Jerusalem Bible Lectionary is no longer available to users outside the UK and US. Really terrible to be shut off like this. Are there Catholics only in those parts of the world? ### 1/5 — iPhone or iPad Not working on 18.3 *2025-02-13, version 5.3.0* Since upgrading to the current IOS, cannot get past the login with subscriptions prompt. Continually tells me my subscription is expired. Works on Android but not IOS, please fix I use this digital version which I paid for. Currently trying to use version 5.30.14. Thank you ### 1/5 — For the first time, February 2025 never downloaded *2025-02-05, version 5.3.0* Poor downloading ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Free app access with subscription *2026-08-24* I was told I could access the app with the magazine subscription. I have not been able to so since last year. While my complaints to the developers have fallen on deaf ears. Very very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Disgruntled App User *2026-01-02, version 5.15.0* I am a subscriber if the Magnificat and have been for several years. My subscription runs through October 2026. The App stopped allowing me access as of January 1, 2026. I can access my January online issue at the Magnificat website without a problem. So it is the App that is not working properly. ### 1/5 — Not Working *2025-11-02, version 5.15.0* Just subscribed but I continue to get a downloading error. I went to the settings to status of memory and it doesn’t download. The app is unusable. ### 1/5 — Needs to be free *2025-10-13, version 5.13.0* I can to this app when searching for a daily devotional. It is hard to pay online and honestly, I don’t think it’s worth it. ### 1/5 — Site, app lack basic info *2025-07-31, version 5.13.0* If there was another such magazine, I would drop Magnificat and subscribe to the other. How hard is it to include the customer’s subscription info on the site and the app, for that matter??? Every year is the same complaint. WHEN, exactly, does my subscription expire??? WHERE, exactly, can I find it without having to call Magnificat and speak to your customer service reps who always sound like they’re tired of dealing with customer care. ### 1/5 — Newest Version *2025-06-25, version 5.12.0* Software update problems. Unable to change font size. Sometimes very large or sometimes very small. I deleted the app and shut down my iPhone 15 Pro Max to try to fix the problem, several times as a matter of fact. After a full day, I downloaded the app just a while ago and it appears to be working as it should. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Zero Stars If That Were Possible *2025-06-23, version 5.12.0* Don't bother downloading. This is clearly an unsupported app. I'm a new subscriber who won't be recieving a print copy in the mail for a month and a half. The app won't work, does not load. The browser version is terrible on a phone/tablet--no responsive design. ### 1/5 — App does not work *2025-06-22, version 5.12.0* App is inconsistent and buggy. I can’t download the monthly issues without error messages. I deleted the app and reinstalled. No luck. I also went to the settings and tried to download the monthly issue with the memory setting without luck ### 1/5 — Readings is not the same anymore *2025-05-31, version 5.12.0* The readings are not as Jerusalem Bible Lectionary anymore 🤦🏻‍♀️ ### 1/5 — New change - Font size too small! *2025-04-06, version 5.12.0* The font size on the latest version is much too small. The text is a small size and I can’t make it bigger than what was once the smallest setting. Please fix this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-01-17* I’ve used this book and app for several years. I love the pictures and the stories about them; the saints—many I’ve never read anything about; the daily mass readings; the daily meditation; credible witness; and, great conversion stories. Thank you. The one thing I would like to know is whether I could go back to the book page set-up in the on-line version. It’s just a little easier for me to read. **Developer response:** Dear friend, Thank you for the kind review! Please email us at app@magnificat.com and we will help you with this. You should have access to all digital access if properly set-up (app, computer, etc.). In Christ. ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-12-23, version 5.15.0* This app is great! The Magnificat is wonderful. Possibly the best daily prayer publication out there. I am happy they offer a reduced rate for digital only!! I can pray whenever I have a free minute!! Thank you!! ### 5/5 — This Best Spiritual Guide *2025-12-03, version 5.15.0* I have been using the Magnificat for over 20 years and every month it comes up with something new and exciting to learn about the Catholic faith ### 5/5 — Favorite Missalette *2025-04-26, version 5.12.0* Magnificat hits most all of my needs for daily prayer. Thoughtfully laid out, beautifully curated meditations, and art that leads us via the way of beauty. It also helps me in preparation for masses with the Suggested Prayers of the Faithful on Sundays. ### 5/5 — Truly life changing *2025-04-24, version 5.12.0* I subscribed to Magnificat 23 years ago after I quit smoking as a reward to myself and I truly believe the years I have spent nourishing my life with Magnificat has had a profound impact on my love for my faith in the Catholic Church. Good bless Magnificat and all they do for us. ### 5/5 — FIXED - App no longer readable *2025-04-12, version 5.12.0* UPDATE - Please go to settings (gear icon on the top right corner), then status of memory and force download the month. This bug has been fixed. Thank you! *********************** Last combination of updates rendered the app useless. The text is so small it’s completely unreadable even at Big+++ and iOS text size maximum! Everything from the title Mass through the entire Gospel is on one screen and can’t be changed - that’s right, font size adjustments only change the titles, not the normal text! If this is not fixed immediately I’m going to have to cancel my subscription. ### 5/5 — Essential daily Catholic Reading! *2025-03-18, version 5.3.0* I love the Magnificat and so do many of my friends. The daily prayers are great for those who want to pray with the whole Church but don’t have time for Liturgy of the Hours. The daily meditations and other writings are concise and inspiring. And of course, the Magnificat is a reliable and easy to read source of daily mass readings ### 5/5 — Most Grateful for the Magnificat *2025-03-07* My wife and I treasure having this connection to Our Lord and our beautiful Church. The level of integrity that the Magnificat Team reaches is not surpassed in any other religious publication or app. It provides us with a most lovely way to begin and end our day with God Our Father, His Son (Our Savior) and the Holy Spirit! I would recommend this publication to anyone who is searching for the truth and also to those who are firm believers and want to enhance their prayer life. It brings us great joy daily and we are most grateful to all the beautiful folks who produce it. Thank you! ### 5/5 — My Daily ‘GO TO’ Catholic app! *2025-03-01, version 5.3.0* Love everything about this app. Has brought me even closer to the TRINITY & The Blessed Mother, Angels and Saints. Like the low annual price for what’s in store for the reader. I’ve been with Magnificat for quite a number of years now. I use a variety of Catholic apps, but never miss a day with any and all portions of Magnificat. ### 5/5 — My favorite app *2024-12-01, version 5.3.0* This app is visually beautiful and I find it very easy to use. It has changed my prayer life. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
