### 5/5 — Wonderful App Please Repair It

*2025-11-23*

I love this app.  However it has ceased to function.

### 5/5 — Please update!

*2025-01-03*

This is a great app but it no longer works on iPhone. I hope it can be updated.

### 3/5 — Fix Needed - App Works Partially After OS Upgrade to 18.2

*2024-12-22*

I love this app and used it for years! However, after OS upgrade to 18.2 only the daily reading is visible - Brother Roger’s reflection is no longer displayed. PLEASE fix it, so it is back to its full functionality. 
Thank you… 🙏🏻

### 4/5 — Please update!

*2023-07-22*

I love this app and use it daily - please update it to work with the latest iOS!

### 3/5 — Is that all it does?

*2015-08-29*

To be fair, it does do exactly what it says it will. It only gives the short bible reading & text from fr. Roger for the current day. I can't look back or ahead at days other than today.  I feel a lot more could have been done with this.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2014-01-29*

I've been hoping for a while that there would be an app for the daily readings.  Aesthetically beautiful and simple
