Update: Problem fixed, thanks!
Jul 24, 2020 Update: The problem below has been fixed. The app is now working well. Thanks! I’ve been enjoying the app on my phone for a while now, but after a recent update, I noticed the last one or two lines in the gospel reading are almost always cut off when you roll down to the bottom of the screen. I do not experience the same issue with the app on my iPad. Please fix this bug soon! Thank you!more -
Daily Readings Convenience!
Sep 7, 2020 I am one of those people who likes to read along while the readings and Gospel are being read in Church. For that reason I have enjoyed this app for a few years. More recently, since Churches have removed all their missals, I have relied even heavier on this app. One of the best Catholic apps I have found after experiencing many different ones, I highly recommend!more -
Love the app, but....
Jan 18, 2021 This really is a wonderful app for those of us who have a hard time hearing clearly in church, but there is one issue I would ask you to consider addressing. As it is, the text is so small when the phone is held in portrait position that it is very difficult to read. Then, when we turn it to landscape mode, the ads take up so much space at the bottom of the screen that there is little room for the text of the readings. And they are a total distraction. I would gladly pay for an ad-free version of this app. An alternative might be the ability to alter the font size in portrait mode to make it more readable. But I would still prefer not to have the ads running across the screen. Thank you for this otherwise wonderful Mass participation aid and thank you for considering my concerns.more -
My dat starts with the Readings
Jun 5, 2020 Each day begging with the Readings of the Mass. It is both inspiring and comforting to start the day with the words of our Lord. I have shared the site many times over the years. As a Lector at my church I use the ap to prepare for the days when I present the Scripture aloud to the congregation. I do miss being able to select and copy the text though. Thank youmore -
A bit of comfort in a strange time
Jun 3, 2020 My 2 year old (about to be 3 year old) son has been in the hospital for two weeks after a tragic accident. When we helicoptered out all I had was his sippy cup, phone and tablet. I receive the comfort of God's word thanks to this app. I am praying for you all who are suffering amidst the suffering. God bless you all pray for my son and I.more

Hoping to get your attention
May 17, 2019 I’m giving this a low rating in hopes to get your attention. I’m not sure how else to communicate with you. Today when reading the daily readings, I noticed that planned parenthood had an advertisement at the bottom of the app. You may not be in control of the parties that advertise on the app, but I wanted to bring this to your attention. Hopefully something can be done. Thank you.more -
H-E-L-P-!
May 31, 2020 Lately, I’ve been having issues opening the app on my kindle. The Reading Date will come up but nothing else. No readings. Just the date. I’ve tried uninstalling the app and downloading it again. It would work for a few days and then, the same issue. Today, I uninstalled and downloaded and I get the same issue. I love this app when it works! Please fix.more -
Ap not working correctly
Jun 9, 2020 This app used to be great but lately the gospel is cut off and doesn’t provide the whole reading. It just cuts off mid sentence. I tried to find a way to reach the author of the app but only saw this way to leave feedback. Hopefully someone can fix it?more -
Getting worse every update
Sep 11, 2020 The latest now is that the audio version is linked to the USCCB website so you can rewind and if the screen locks you have to start listening to scratch. Really challenging. You might as well go directly to USCCB website and get rid of the app.more -
How do I turn off the ads?
Feb 6, 2019 I love the readings and how everything is formatted, however God forbid as I scroll up, I accidentally hit one of the ads during mass...especially that show videos.
- Start your mornings off right with daily Catholic missal gospel passages
- Stay with God's love every day with daily and weekly gospel lectionary readings
- Never worry about reading yesterday's verses because a new one will be shown to you once you open this easy to use reader

Daily Mass
May 30, 2020 At my age 87 and because of the covid 19 I cannot make mass. This app allows me to read the daily readings and know what is going on at mass. It inspires me for the day. I read them every morning but what I don’t understand is why the Last Gospel reading is always cut short, it never finishes. I have to dig my Bible out to complete it. I wish you would fix that.more

Readings won’t load
May 23, 2020 Used to use this app daily. Since last update, the readings no longer load. I just get a blank screen when I open the app. It also won’t let me select any date other than today; if I try, it immediately rolls back the date to today. Issue resolved. Thank youmore -
Fantastic.
Mar 11, 2019 I love this app. Just the readings nothing else to interrupt your time with God’s word. These readings have helped me re focus my thoughts during busy times when I wasn’t thinking about God. I remembered read and re focused. I didn’t give it five stars cause I been using it for just a couple of weeks but it’s perfect, just God’s word and the church’s readings.more -
Really quite helpful
Mar 19, 2019 I agree with other reviews that the artificial voice is distracting (and I understand that addressing that could be burdensome/expensive for a free app). My biggest gripe is that I cannot adjust the size of the text. These aging eyes need some help. 😜 All in all, though, this is a great resource—thank you & God bless!more -
Technological issues
Aug 17, 2020 I can normally get the readings, but have had recurring issues with the Reflections, which I enjoy as much as the Readings because of the added perspectives. It would definitely be a five star review if there was more consistency in the availability of the Reflections.more

Great app. If it would work correctly
Aug 6, 2020 I love this app. But here lately there has been a lot of bugs in it. Now when you open it you get only a blank screen and can not view the daily readings. I really hope this can get fixed soon. Then it would be a five star app!!!!more -
Print too small
Nov 12, 2020 I just switched over to IPhone. The print of the daily reading is too small and there is no setting to make it larger. Rotating the phone doesn’t help because the ads area blocks half the screen -
Cuts off the Gospel Reading
Jun 8, 2020 I used it for several weeks and thought the app was great. However, for several days now, it cuts off the Gospel Reading. I deleted it and reinstalled it and still does it. I will go to another app now. -
Can’t see the last part of the gospel
May 29, 2020 Last week the app wouldn’t load a day here and there... now the font size on the readings are bigger and it’s cut off the last lines of the gospel -
Font size too large
Feb 5, 2020 The font size as viewed on my iPad is much too large for comfortable reading in landscape mode. Please go back to the way it was before the recent updates.

Readings are cut off
Jun 10, 2020 Was excited to have a handy and well-rated app for daily readings. Unfortunately, only a certain page length loads and then it cuts off so I never get the readings for the day in their entirety. -
Don’t like the robot reading
Mar 5, 2018 This app needs someone to record the daily readings and not have the robot reading them. I got this app to read to me and deleted it because the robot voice was so poor
