Universalis App Reviews

When I upgraded from the freebie version of this to the paid version I thought the translations would be NAB across the board. Since I live in the USA, this is what I need. What I found was that I can get that translation for the daily readings but for the LOH, which is really what I wanted this app for, everything is frequently all wrong. The translations may or may not be NAB but the psalms, hymns, etc., are not correct. It seems like the app is Euro-focused. There is a more expensive "Divine Office" app that contains the liturgy for America, so Im out the money for this app and now moving to that one. When reading reviews of this app, consider the country the reviewer lives in.

The Gospel Acclimation has been missing for a week.

Excellent. Includes mass readings and optional memorials. Works offline.

I looked extensively for the best app to follow along in mass. I wanted to see the daily collects/prayers, seasonal prefaces, and the various eucharistic prayers, in English and Latin. This has it all, and its easy to use. Much more so than, say, the Magnificat app. Keep in mind this is just ordinary form - no extraordinary.

Fantastic reading options include ability to change dont sizes, typeface, brightness, and even switch to night mode. Navigation is easy and intuitive.

This is absolutely my favorite app to use for Catholic mass, when it works. Unfortunately there have been too many occasions such as now, when there are prayers that are left out or or incomplete. Currently the prefaces are a problem, but there have been other issues on and off in the past. The app developer is attempting to be helpful, but is currently unable to resolve the issue. I would caution against buying this app while these issues persist.

All the options for every Eucharistic prayer isnt showing up all the time.

I use this app every day. I love your lives of the saints!! Thank you for listening to reviews and adding the biennial readings!!!

if you are buying this for the Divine Office dont, the text is wrong. It is not the version used by religious or lay people in the United States.
