The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services. (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 116) With this app you'll learn how to sing gregorian chant even if you can't sing at all. You don't need to know any musical notation, just watch falling blocks and see in real time if you're singing in tune. Improve your pitch control, voice emission and range with a set of simple exercises. Train all melodies of the ordinary parts of the Mass as well as many hymns. Track your progress. Join the community to share experience and sing together. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Credo helps Catholics pray in Latin with real understanding — not through textbook drills, but through the beauty of prayer and story. Whether you're preparing for the Latin Mass, teaching your children at home, or rediscovering the prayers of your childhood, Credo helps you grow in both understanding and devotion. WHAT MAKES CREDO DIFFERENT? * You’ll read, hear, and practice real Catholic prayers like the Pater Noster, Ave Maria, and Angelus Domini -- and come to know what each word means. * You won’t sit through boring drills or abstract rules. * Instead, you'll learn Latin the way it was passed on: through prayer, story, and repetition in context. INSIDE THE APP: * Immersive lessons built around sacred texts and storytelling * A complete Rosary, prayed bead by bead in Latin, in English, or both * Oratio Continua — a timed, meditative prayer session that moves gently from one prayer to the next, to rest in or to fall asleep to * Mini-games and reviews to reinforce vocabulary and help you memorize Latin prayers * Traditional Catholic content, thoughtfully curated * Family-friendly and perfect for homeschool use WHO IT'S FOR: * Converts and cradle Catholics alike rediscovering Latin through prayer * Traditional Catholics who want to understand the Mass more deeply * Parents and homeschoolers teaching children the language of the Church * Anyone seeking to pray with greater understanding and intention Credo is not a Latin textbook in app form. It's a formation tool -- a gentle companion for Catholics who want to pray with the saints, learn through tradition, and connect more deeply with the faith. **Download Credo and begin your journey into the sacred language of the Church today.** SUBSCRIPTION Credo Premium unlocks full access to Credo.
