This app was awesome! but after the update it is a pain to use :(((((((( Why???? ### 2/5 — Changed and not so much for the better *2025-11-30, version 2.1.2* This app used to have a filter to put in a different rite, or whether or not you wanted to specify a TLM. It is no longer there. Was a really great feature ### 4/5 — Couple of upgrade recommendations *2024-11-03* You don’t need to have precise location so for clients’ privacy you should switch this off. You should grab the phone’s time zone and time to display mass at the time wanted by the majority of your clients. I find it frustrating to have to scroll down to the right time masses as I am using it primarily to know where my choice of mass is, I like to visit different churches ideally. ### 3/5 — Update *2024-10-26, version 2.1.1* Before the update 5 stars Witherby the update 3 stars ### 4/5 — its a good app, but some issues *2024-06-27* the latest version of this app is not efficient on updating parish mass times. There are mass times that ive tried to change recently, and those changes are bot reflected in the app interface even tho ive made the change numerous times. i like how the app used to be, where you vld sign up to be one of the moderators and login and make the changes. its still an app ill keep using, and im grateful it exists! thanks **Developer response:** Hello Anduriliam, Thanks for the feedback; if you close and reopen the app, it will fetch the new data. Otherwise, it uses the data that has just been cached in your current session. ### 2/5 — What Happened? *2024-06-05, version 2.1.1* I used to use this site; but now it’s a piece of junk. It’s not user-friendly. Whatever you did to this App, that you thought you were improving, you just ‘screwed’ it up. It used to be really good to use. Very disappointing. ### 3/5 — Doesn't seem to work in Lockdown mode *2024-05-26, version 2.1.1* The app, as well as the MassTimes.org website, seem to not work when lockdown mode is enabled on the iPhone. ### 3/5 — Change does not necessarily mean improvement *2023-07-31* This was a great app. Anytime we traveled I would look up and see where the closest church was and what time their Mass was. However, now it doesn’t work that way. Now, Masses are indicated by the time not the location. This caused me to miss Mass at the closest church this weekend, and have to drive more than twice the distance because the app did not tell me that the closest church only had Mass on Saturday evening. I do not appreciate the change. Now you are inundated with a lot of superfluous information while just hunting for a close church. I received a response from the developer and was advised that you COULD still find Masses by location. The problem is that it is difficult to locate. You need to go to the Mass Menu and select ALL. I would have never found that without their reply. Hopefully it will become part of the filters option. Upgrading my review from one to three stars. I would love to upgrade it to five. I sincerely appreciate assistance in finding Mass while on vacation. **Developer response:** Thanks for leaving a review, Acwiz56. There is a new default sorting order: churches having Mass for the current day, sorted by time of day. You can easily change the sorting order back to churches by distance by selecting "All" in one of the filters ("Mass" or day). That will take care of your navigation question. We'll soon introduce a one-click switch to change the sorting order between time and distance. 2023-09-05 update: we now have a separate "sort by" time/distance filter for easier searching by time of day or by distance from the point of the search. ### 2/5 — Needs to default to Apple Maps *2023-07-02, version 2.1.1* This new version tries to open Google maps. This is iOS and should default to Apple maps. It was a really nice feature that went away in this new version. ### 2/5 — Was a wonderful app *2023-06-17, version 2.1.1* The new update is a big step backwards. The old layout was much easier to use. Can no longer click on a church on the map and see the details. ### 4/5 — Good upgrade *2023-06-16, version 2.1.1* Once you use for a while you will appreciate the update ### 2/5 — New update is a downgrade *2023-06-14, version 2.1.1* - Mass time text does not have proper spacing so it all runs together into one big wall of text. - The serif font is hard to read and does not scale with the device font size. - Several buttons are too small to tap easily. - Some buttons overlap other buttons. - Navigation is confusing. - Feels like a website instead of an app. EDIT: iPhone 13 Mini. A helpful video to watch would be "Explore navigation design for iOS" from WWDC 2022 on the Apple Developer website. ### 4/5 — Search by ZIP Code Stopped Working *2023-06-09, version 2.1.1* The app has been great over the years by being able to locate churches and Mass times as we travel around the world. The search for churches by ZIP code stopped working with the new release (05/09/2023). This feature is needed by travelers looking for churches along a route. ### 4/5 — Needs to be updated *2022-06-06, version 2.0.15* Information for Christ the King parish in Pueblo Co is out of date. Wonder what other parishes are out of date? Great app otherwise. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s not working *2024-03-04, version 2.1.1* It’s not working and doesn’t list any churches ### 1/5 — Change does not necessarily mean improvement *2023-07-26* This was a great app. Anytime we traveled I would look up and see where the closest church was and what time their mass was.

Does not seem to work well. Can’t find closest church. MaP does not expand. GO BACK TO PREVIOUS VERSION. ### 1/5 — Don’t upgrade *2023-06-11, version 2.1.1* New version is horrible. No theme. No viewing by church. Map looks bad. The previous version worked perfectly and was 1000x more useable. I’m very sad I can’t downgrade. ### 1/5 — Recent revamp *2023-06-10, version 2.1.1* Takes the app from a 5 down to a 1 star. I know it wasn’t absolutely perfect before but now there’s little clarity to navigate in the direction we’re heading. i’m not sure how I can even use this app now. There’s no support, it just takes you back to the app. Um-no. St. Max, Ora Pro Nobis. ### 1/5 — Used to work wonderfully *2021-07-25* My wife and I used to use this app, and the corresponding website, pretty much weekly to ensure that we could find a mass to attend despite the insanity of the kids schedules. Recently however both stopped functioning which is a shame as I can find no similar replacement for it. Hoping the developers will revisit their support of this as it served a real purpose which cannot be said of many apps that clog up folks phones these days. **Developer response:** Thanks OhioWanderer, we had significantly more visitors than anticipated coming out of Covid, and we have now upgraded our platform. Performance is much improved! ### 1/5 — Commonly incorrect times *2020-12-27, version 2.0.15* This app has so much potential but it is extremely common that the mass times are incorrect/outdated. It is incredibly frustrating to show up to find out there isn’t in fact mass. Cross checking to Google completely defeats the convenience of this app and I may as while start with Google in the first place. Potential solution is to let users submit updates similar to gas buddy. ### 1/5 — Not updated *2019-12-26, version 2.0.15* Just downloaded and already found 2 listings that are wrong. The 2 changed more than 3 years ago. ### 1/5 — Wasn’t working at all ... *2019-06-09, version 2.0.14* when I tried it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sorting the Masses by Time= Perfect *2026-06-29* As far as I know the more popular apps don’t provide easy to scroll lists based on time of the day. The interface may not be the prettiest, but when you’re on the go, it makes the most sense to show people a list of masses by the hour. As a bonus, the map shows trainlines pretty clearly so that you can gauge logistics and not just raw distance, depending on your mode of travel. Keep up the good work y’all! ### 5/5 — Wonderful app that has stood the test of time and space! *2026-04-15, version 2.1.2* I’ve been using this app faithfully since 2014 and have taken it to multiple states and countries, and it has never failed me. ### 5/5 — Love This App! *2026-03-25, version 2.1.2* Since downloading I have used this app almost everyday to locate mass times. Its my go to. ### 5/5 — Great App to find Mass Times *2026-01-03, version 2.1.2* Love the ease of use! We use it each time we travel and it’s come in so handy. You can see church locations near you, mass times, links to bulletins, websites and so much more! Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Perfect ! *2025-12-31* Everything I needed. I am very grateful that this app was created. It’s a lifesaver. Really easy instead of searching on google and not being able to find the mass/confessions around you and the times. You could randomly think of going to mass and just open the app and will find MANY at that moment. It literally makes life easier. They have many resources. AND ITS FREE! We are soo lucky! ### 5/5 — Indispensable! *2025-12-21, version 2.1.2* For any Catholic who church hops or travels often, this is essential. I consult Mass Times at least once a week for confession, mass, and adoration times nearby. Thank you so much, Mass Times team!! ### 5/5 — My “go to” App *2025-08-07* I have used this App for a long time and before the App I used their website. I’m always impressed by the accuracy of the information and how frequently it is updated. I not only use it for my frequent trips but even at home when I need to find Adoration or times for Reconciliation. ### 5/5 — Not great for TLM, but it helps for confession! *2025-03-30, version 2.1.2* Thanks for the app! ### 5/5 — Use it quite frequently! *2024-08-08, version 2.1.1* Very helpful to know where Mass and confession is wherever or whenever you are :-) ### 5/5 — Love the update!!! *2023-06-11* I have used this app for years. It has always worked well and has been very valuable to us. The update makes it sooo much easier to use! I can scroll to the time I am interested in and see the Churches offering Mass then. Thank you!! **Developer response:** Thanks, glad you like it! We finally are able to offer a version that works well on the larger iPhone and iPad screens. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
