Niceeee
I’m glad I get to feel like I’m praying with sisters and to learn how Gregorian chant sounds in a monastery. I just wish I could know Gregorian chant more and how to read and chant it myself, listening and trying to pray along helps though.
Still Has Bugs
I like the app. Who doesn’t love Gregorian Chant by actual nuns and monks? However, the continual play feature does not work for me. This severely limits my enjoyment and use of the app. I like that I’m supporting the two religious organizations, but may look for an alternative if the app isn’t updated to fix the bugs.

Needs work. A lot of it.
Great ideea. Not ready for prime. Kind of unusable and convoluted. I'm a paying sub. Will not rewnew due to these reasons.
Unreal (in a bad way)
Everything is behind a paywall except the missal. As if we need YET ANOTHER missal available.
Greatest App of All Time
Priceless! God bless everyone who contributed to this.
Subscription model for all features - Free content is great
***Updating from 2 stars to 4 stars*** Spring 2025 After receiving a response from the developer, and redownloading the app, I find that I can now access the content of the given hour of prayer. (previously I was unable to access the hourly chant without first creating an account, but I think that this problem was fixed by updating my iPad to the latest version - something I’m often loathe to do; but that is no fault of the developer). The app is as described, and is indeed the only accessible recording of all of the chants. And to have it sung by the faithful of this Benedictine community is another triumph for the app. There is also a download feature for any given chant; but it seems you cannot download a full day at a time, or a full week at a time. Being in an industry which sends me to odd places in the world and often on flights and on ships without internet, it would be an incredible feature to include (I realize 9000 hours of recordings can’t fit onto any normal device; and it might take a lot of work to create some sort of alternative where only a few days or a week could be downloaded at a time). ***But now I will also include a bit of criticism. While it is a blessing (and I mean it, this work is momentous), the price of $7.99 per month to access everything is something I am unwilling to do. For that I would need professional recordings. And while the recordings are good; it is several notches down from professional, both the quality of the recording itself, and the quality of the singing. It is beautiful, reverent, and to be there in person would be divine. But I cannot justify paying $7.99 per month to continually have access. I would pay $1.00 for the rest of my life; but as it stands, for $7.99 I can purchase a premium music subscription, or I could buy a premium sheetmusic subscription; or for $50 I could own forever several hundreds of hours of chant and follow it with a $10 book which I own, and never need to pay again, or to lose service when I’m offline. *** All of this to say; as a free app, its really fantastic. I am very thankful for it. I would give it 5 stars if this were only a free app with the free features. But since the app contains so much promise, with such a hefty recurring price, without ever owning anything; simply renting the ability to listen, I will keep the review at 4 stars.***** Below you will see my previous 2 star review from a month or so ago: Please excuse this low-review, but I think I have good reasons. I will haply upgrade my review to 4 stars if it was possible to at least sample it without having to pay. I would increase to 5 Stars if I could purchase content outright (instead of paying a subscription - happy to pay more for more content as it is released). Once you download the app, you will find that you are unable to listen to or view anything until you have created an account. You cannot sign in with Apple ID, but must create an account manually. Then you must wait (apparently) until the exact time that the particular mass or chant you wish to listen to occurs in real time. That is to say, it is currently 7:17am and I am unable to access any of the content. In order to access any of it even to sample, I must pay $7.99 just to try it for one month. This resource description is amazing. I would love to give it a try. But I’m not interested in a subscription model in which I do not own the rights and to which I could lose them at any time (such as when I am deployed by the military without internet for months - or at the whim of anyone who gains control of the app in the future who doesn’t have the heart of the creators and decides to place more restrictions on its use. I have seen it happen to other apps). Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Abbey; I respectfully request you make this app less money-centric. A laborer is worthy of his wages. Please offer 1)Samples to any user who downloads. 2) The ability to purchase forever music with options to purchase more as it is released or new features are added. 3) An option to donate on a recurring basis [which I would also happily do!]. Blessings - J. Michael

The only app you need for the Divine Office
Having recently returned from a retreat in a Benedictine monastery, I set to find an which could help me continue the experience - to some degree.
I tried several applications but all fell short: Latin only, English only, no music, music only but no text.
This is the only app which brings together the liturgy of the hour, the text in both Latin and the language of your choice, and includes the beautiful singing of the nuns.

You can follow the offices hour by hour and day by day with a free account. Yes, internet is required, but we feel this is the best way to offer the liturgy as widely as possible to those who use it to pray meanwhile offering a paid service that can support the communities and cover some of the cost of creating and maintaining the app itself.
Coughing & Clearing Throats
Please, could you ask those singers who are being captured on these recordings to dismiss themselves from being recorded as it is a terrible distraction to the beauty of the chant. Thank you for your consideration as I hope to one day become a patron of Neumz as I myself am a member of our parish’s Schola for TLM.

Broke
Thanks for breaking this app so we are forced to pay for subscription. May almighty God show mercy
Broken
It appears that the application is no longer functioning. Following the suggestion to select the calendar, the only available option is to download the file, which requires a subscription. Unfortunately, streaming and viewing capabilities are no longer accessible.
Appalling and non Christian
Clearly Christianity has come to an end when you download an app and not even a small section is given to you for free. I am poor and cannot afford anything. But there should be some options for the lovers off God and religious chants to receive. This is the teaching of Jesus. If you don’t believe in him, stop chanting his name.

Zum Beten und Meditieren
Benutze die App gerne zum Meditieren oder Beten. Gerne auch nur zum Hören dieser phantastischenStimmen. Einfach schön. Die Fehler die andere beschrieben haben stören mich nicht. Schließlich ist die App kostenlos .
Beautiful
This app is great. It is basically the Novus Ordo mixed with the Benedictine Divine Office. Thankfully also I have heard, that there will be a fully Vetus Ordo option with the specific office of Prima in the fall. Overall great app. It’s a new app and still going through its early development but it is overall well done.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Beautiful But Missing Prima
Hello developers,
This app is a beautiful app, but it misses the office of Prima, which is one of the greatest offices.
Thanks.

Response from developer
Hello, thanks! Prime was surpressed and it’s psalms folded into lauds and other offices in the novus ordo, but starting this fall we will be integrating also the vetus ordo including of course prime!
A blessing this Lent 2023
A beautiful compilation and a true gift from the sisters to the world. Many many thanks as these chants accompany on my Lenten journey this year.
Informations fausses sur la vision de la partie gratuite.
La version 3.3 informe que les non clients (partie gratuite) ne peuvent écouter que le bureau actuel, puis jusqu’à 2 chants gratuits par heure. En dehors du bureau actuel.
En réalité, à part 2mn de son de cloche, impossible de déverrouiller qui-que c’est soit.
Autant informer dès le départ que tout est payant, cela évite de Télécharger pour rien une version de test.

En effet, la version gratuite permet d'écouter le bureau le plus proche de l'heure actuelle sur votre appareil, comme annoncé. Il est nécessaire de créer un compte, mais il peut s'agir d'un compte gratuit. Il n'y a rien de faux, j'ai peur de ne pas comprendre votre plainte.
Prix
Beaucoup trop cher !!
Response from developer
Désolé que vous pensiez cela. Que considérez-vous comme un prix équitable pour avoir accès à 6500 heures de chants et au contenu intégral de l'Antiphonaire, du Nocturne, du Psautier, de l'Hymne, du Responsoriaire, du Collectaire, du Lectionnaire, du Graduel et du Missel, le tout synchronisé et traduit en cinq langues ? Et n'oubliez pas que les deux tiers des abonnements servent à soutenir les sœurs.
Scrolling not synced
The score scrolls faster than the music. Can’t read the notes as the music is playing, makes it pointless for me.
Gesucht, gefunden
Im Dlf-Radio davon gehört. Eine Gebetsmöglichkeit ist das, was ich schon länger suchte, genau so. Ich habe Neumz gesucht, ausprobiert, überlegt und mich zur Patronin eingeschrieben, weil ich mögliche Favoriten speichern möchte. Was Vorrezensenten bemängelten ist immer noch nicht vollständig behoben, vor allem bei längeren Chorälen laufen Text und Neumen zu schnell nach oben, so dass man nicht nach den Noten mitsingen kann, was zumindest zu Beginn bei der Höhe schwierig ist bis man das auswendig beherrscht nur mit Text mit zu singen. Gerne würde ich meinen Mann auf seinem IPhone auch teilhaben lassen, die App erschien wie alle Apps synchron auf seinem device. Aber das Passwort vom IPad wird nicht akzeptiert. Wie kann ich die Familienfreigabe für ihn aktivieren? Wir haben das noch nie anwenden müssen, alles lief automatisch bei anderen Apps synchron. Danke für diese schöne spirituelle Möglichkeit.

Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung! Wir werden bald eine Lösung für die Synchronisierungsprobleme veröffentlichen. Wenn Sie sich mit demselben Benutzernamen anmelden, sollten Sie normalerweise beide die App über Ihr Gönnerkonto nutzen können. Aber die gemeinsame Nutzung von Familien ist etwas, das wir in einer zukünftigen Version unterstützen wollen. Im Moment sollten Sie sich mit demselben Konto anmelden, um die App freizuschalten.
