Whether you are traveling abroad, living as an expat, or simply maintaining your daily spiritual routine, Calitre is your pocket companion for the Catholic Liturgy of the Word. Calitre is designed specifically to help you follow along with the Mass, even when it is being celebrated in a foreign language. With support for 19 different languages, you can read the daily First Reading, Psalm, Second Reading, and Gospel in your native tongue, allowing you to fully participate in the global Catholic community wherever you are. Core Features: - Daily Mass Readings: Instantly access the readings for today, following the A, B, and C liturgical cycles. - 19 Languages Supported: Switch seamlessly between English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Croatian, Romanian, Lithuanian, -Danish, Swedish, Ukrainian, Arabic, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. - Essential Prayers: Includes the Our Father and the Profession of Faith (Creed) so you can join in the most fundamental parts of the Mass. - Adjustable Typography: Quickly increase or decrease the font size for comfortable reading without grabbing your glasses. Note on Translations: To ensure Calitre remains accessible and can be shared freely across so many languages, the texts are sourced from public domain and historical translations. Because of this, they capture the true essence of the scripture but may occasionally differ word-for-word from the modern official lectionary read at the altar in your specific region.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Prayer Book at 3 against Calitre's 1. Prayer Book also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
