Miradei now speaks three languages: English, French and Portuguese. The whole app, from the Rosary to the Magisterium. The Bible opens up to multiple translations: switch versions with one tap, including the full Douay-Rheims, and take it with you offline. Sacred music arrives: Gregorian chant and hymns, streaming instantly, downloadable to pray without a connection. My verses gets a fresh start: swipe between your bookmarks, highlights and notes, everything flows smoothly. The theme switches with one tap: day, night, or automatic by the hour. And care everywhere: the daily Gospel finds its way again, the home screen adapts better to every device, a thousand details polished for prayer.
