Offline Mass Propers This app is an offline version of the chant tools available at http://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/ It is mostly intended to be useful for containing the Gregorian Mass propers as well as the Gregorian Mass ordinaries as found in the Liber Usualis, and transcribed on GregoBase (http://gregobase.selapa.net) and there may be some mistakes in the chant. If you notice any, they can be corrected in GregoBase (if you go to http://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/propers.html and find the chant with the mistake, you can click the link above the chant on the left side to get to the GregoBase version of the chant, and edit it there to fix it, or request that it be fixed.)

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vatican Vox at 5.0 against Chant Tools's 4.0. Vatican Vox also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Chant Tools's advantage is review sentiment (42% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Vatican Vox holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chant Tools has 33 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Chant Tools's written reviews are positive against 0% of Vatican Vox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chant Tools ships an update every 2 weeks, Vatican Vox every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
