### 5/5 — Worth every penny!

*2016-03-22*

Beautiful, elegant, seamless, Incredible!! Only ADD I can think of would be the ability to Highlight &/or take Notes. But I can just as easily use my notebook app in split screen.

As others, I too was hesitant on purchasing because of the price. For over a year I have gone back & forth, but decided to go ahead and treat myself- thinking it may help me w/ my own growth & understanding, as well as help me as a Catechist w/ my students.

I am so thankful that I did. This is an incredible app, w/ so much stuff hidden all through out. W/ everything included, and such a seamless app, I would even pay more..

### 5/5 — A must have app!

*2016-03-11*

This is where the wisdom of the church and technology come crashing together in a way that can help anyone better understand their faith!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-02-05*

Incredible amount of information beautifully presented. Interesting for all ages. My kids love the pictures, videos, and interactive elements. I learn something new every time I explore the text in this app. Looking forward to the eventual publication of Part 2. Expensive but worth it.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2016-01-14, version 1.8*

This is fantastic. One of the best application. Hope they develop this in various languages.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2015-08-13*

This app is absolutely beautiful! Incredibly informative and interesting. I highly recommend it to anyone who thinks Mass is boring - you will never look at the mass the same way after using this app. 100% worth the price.

### 5/5 — Dr. Chirino

*2015-08-03*

I absolutely love this app.  I teach Liturgy and Sacraments to high schoolers and I know they enjoy the little known facts that are linked to the different subjects.  It is interesting and fun!

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2015-07-22*

I'll be honest - I was a little put off by the price at first, but after reading about the app I decided to give it a try. I've never looked back since. It is so worth the money. I've read a lot about the Holy Mass but nothing beats seeing with the eyes.  The background information fills in so many gaps. You won't be sorry.

### 5/5 — Highly impressed!

*2015-04-18, version 1.8*

I was reluctant at first to pay so much for an app, but it is more than worth its price. Great use of technology, easy and smooth navigation, one of best apps of this type ever. Clearly there was a lot of research on the Mass' historical and ecclesiastical origins done by the author, as well as a lot of conceptual thinking put into how to leverage the technology to present it, including videos, sounds, and pictures.

### 5/5 — Great Multimedia

*2015-03-31*

Mass Explained is the most in-depth multimedia app I've used. It's educational, beautiful, and a  rich experience. Well worth the price.

### 5/5 — Never will Mass be the same for me again,

*2015-03-28*

I considered myself well-catechized and love the Mass . . . But now my experience of it will be so much richer!  Please remember to give us volume 2, please!

### 5/5 — Glorious Explanation of the Mass

*2015-01-23*

This multimedia explanation of the Mass brings it alive to those unfamiliar and familiar with The Catholic Mass.  I am awaiting the next part that will cover the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

### 5/5 — Beautiful, detailed, through interactive app

*2014-12-28*

The "book" is beautifully done.  Has lots of interactive options, is throughly researched with wonderful historical details. Great!

### 5/5 — Student

*2014-12-14, version 1.8*

This  is an excellent app with lots of extra features.  All of it is very informative.

### 5/5 — Quality

*2014-10-30*

I teach 8th graders and often find myself researching to refresh my knowledge. The quality of this information and the presentation will not disappoint.

### 5/5 — A beautiful experience

*2014-10-25*

When I first looked at the description of this, I thought it might be primarily for classroom type activity.  The cost sort of put me off then the intrigue of what could be worth this much captured me and I purchased the app.  Within a few minutes of starting to read, it was obvious how much effort and research had been put into this work.  The graphics, the pictures, the descriptions, the history are all beautifully done.  There is no way that a simple textbook could do justice to the masterpiece that is assembled in this work.  I have been a Catholic for 68 years and have never found anything more interesting or educational about my faith than is assembled here.  Whatever the cost of the next segment of this , sign me up.

### 5/5 — The best there is

*2014-10-20, version 1.8*

This is the best religious app I've ever bought. It's perfect for RCIA and for teaching as well as personal development. This should be the first app every seminarian buys and every bishop should make it compulsory for his priests to have it. The detail and content is excellent. Everything about the catholic faith you'll ever need or maybe want to know

### 1/5 — Does not work in IOS 8

*2014-09-23, version 1.0*

This app does NOT work. Crashes every single time. Very disappointing and overpriced for the performance. I request a refund.

### 2/5 — App keeps crashing and too expensive

*2014-09-25, version 1.0*

Worked nice first couple days. Now it keeps crashing. It's also far too expensive for what is included. It's not overly interactive. It's more like a book with a couple interactive features. At this point...it won't launch for me and doesn't work at all. I regret purchasing.

### 3/5 — Great but this is only HALF

*2024-02-28*

It is great but we are still missing the parts of the Eucharistic prayer and the concluding rites. Here we can only see the entrance and the liturgy of the Word.

### 3/5 — Worth every penny, but...

*2014-04-11, version 1.0*

It would be lovely if the subsequent part on the Liturgy of the Eucharist were offered at a discounted rate to all who had already purchased the Liturgy of the Word.

### 4/5 — The explanation ends with universal prayer …

*2024-02-26*

It’s beautiful and well explained… but bit disappointing … no explanation after the universal prayer. The rest of the Mass is left out. Fr. John Peter Msfs

### 4/5 — Great but pricey!

*2014-06-16, version 1.0*

Well written, beautifully organized, and full of excellent information - the only flaw is the price! This app covers half the mass and with the other app together they would cost $50.  Even with the bulk discount $25 is a lot for me to ask my high school students to spend for something we will only use in our sacraments class for a week or two.  Please consider a deeper bulk discount because I would love to have my kids have access to this tremendous resource.  If it were $10 for both I would have them order it in a heartbeat.

### 5/5 — The explanation ends with universal prayer …

*2025-01-14*

It’s beautiful and well explained… when will the volume 2 be available? Fr. John Peter Msfs

### 5/5 — Phenomenal App

*2021-11-22, version 2.5*

Perfect in every way. Waiting for the next volume!

### 5/5 — In Awe!!

*2021-06-12, version 2.1*

This app is beautiful and very informative. Anyone who wants to truly immerse themselves in the true understanding of the Mass, should get this app! What a blessing!

### 5/5 — Mr,Hilary

*2019-06-22, version 2.1*

Great app so worthy to know

### 5/5 — Please update for iOS 11 Please

*2017-09-19*

This is such a great resource. However, I am unable to use it since I updated to the new iOS 11. So you plan to update the app? Please let me know.

God bless you.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback and 5-Star rating! Version 2.1 has just been released which is compatible with iOS 11. In the new version we also added a bookmark feature. Thanks for downloading the app and I do hope it has helped you fall deeper in love with the Mass!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2017-09-19*

Visually rich and interesting.  This will be a great resource for teaching my kids the reasons and history  behind the Catholic Mass.

Update: As of iOS 11, this app is no longer compatible.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback and 5-Star rating! I created this app in part to teach my own kids about the Mass. Version 2.1 has just been released which is compatible with iOS 11. In the new version we also added a bookmark feature. Thanks for downloading!

### 5/5 — Marvelous work.

*2017-05-04*

What I have learned out of this app, it has been more than attending mass for several years.

### 5/5 — Great for instruction

*2017-01-14*

I've had this for a couple years and still enjoy for reading, devotional time or just browsing.  It is wonderful for gifting to loved ones.  So looking forward to volume two.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-05-13*

Very informative, everything I needed to know about the Mass. For years attending Mass wondering what it's all about. Now I am filled with wonder and experiencing Mass with upmost enjoyment. Very well put together, much more then expected. Thank you for the Great work on this app

### 5/5 — Great Evangelization Tool

*2016-03-31*

This is such an amazing app. I saw it when it first came out but was hesitant on buying it because of the price. Now that I have purchased it, it's the best $25 I've ever spent. I've learned so much about the mass that I never knew before. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to learn more about the mass.
