Catholic Calendar Reviews

As a parish sacristan, CatholicCalendar is a must have for me, but the most recent update causes CatholicCalendar to crash upon launching. I have an iPhone XR running iOS 13.7. Please fix this soon!

In less than 10 days, the Church Calendar app has opened the doors for me to daily praying the DivineOffice/Liturgy of the Hours (DO/LH). Highlights for me (a non-techy) include:
Seamless integration between Functions and Features
Intuitive Use
And best of all - CatholicCalendar has made praying the DO/LH a daily reality rather than a spiritual goal I aspire to.
If you ever wanted to pray throughout the day with and as the Church prays, take the Church Calendar up on its 30 day free trial run (no gimmicks). Your personal prayer life will be rocked!

I love CatholicCalendar! It is so well designed & easy to navigate! Every night I read the night prayer & sometimes I listen to the spoken version on CatholicCalendar . It has deepened my connection with Jesus. Highly recommend!

CatholicCalendar is great for every day. Having the readings and hours close at hand makes it easier to escape from the troubles of the day and follow the Lord's good workings.

For including the daily mass in CatholicCalendar, it is so welcomed. Please don’t stop teaching us about the saints thank you Maureen

CatholicCalendar allows me to keep up with the LOTH when I’m on the go. The Grail adds a nice counterpoint also.

Can’t think of one negative thing to say beautifully put together!!

This is a fulfillimg resource to be used with the LOH/DO/Breviary App.

When used together, it makes the opportunity of LOH prayer far more focused and undistracted than the bound 1 or 4 volume readings... even though the prayers are the same.

RC Calendar, AKA Catholic Calendar or Universalis, is the best ‘all in one’ app that I’ve found! It contains all of the daily prayers and readings for the Divine Office as well as Mass and also has reflections, Lectio Divina and rosary.

I have multiple app’s for all of these but RC Calendar does them all in one place and is excellent!

Nobody asked me but I prefer the previous way to copy and paste; before your last update. It was easier to copy certain sections. I can’t do that anymore. Thanks for listening.

I have been using CatholicCalendar for around 10 years. I use it every morning to look at the saint of the day and the mass readings I find the commentary for the mass readings to be most helpful. Recently I have begun listening to the weekly podcast which comments on the liturgy of the hours and the lives of the various Saints.
I can't imagine how my life would be without the inspiration and instruction I gain from using CatholicCalendar.

CatholicCalendar has accompanied me for more than seven years through the US and Canada. We begin and end the day together mindful of the many who are doing the same and different yet the ever same unmeasurable time throughout the world.

Every time I swipe up the loud BELL TOWER bells from liturgy of the hours DING as LOUD as my PHONE volume will go!!!
Even if my volume and ringer, and notifications volume is on minimum/low!!

It’s like a hostile take over over Church bells.

What worse. If the liturgy of the hours was at Noon and I unlock my phone or swipe up at 12:30pm....GONG!!!!

How do I suppress this?

I like the liturgy of the hours notification, but it suddenly taking over the phones Notification volume and ringing MAXIMUM volume is horrible.

Please fix in your next update. My kids are starting to say my phone is possessed.

Thanks!

Awesome functionality - clear instructions - deeply theological - more “full gospel” than anything else I have ever read (which is extensive) as a lifelong (and still) protestant - better lessons in church than I ever received anywhere, including SBTSeminary.

I have been using CatholicCalendar for about a year. I keep finding more to love about it. For example, I didn’t bother looking at the Rosary for months. When I did finally look at it I found it was a scriptural rosary! I mostly use it for the liturgy is the hours and daily mass readings.

CatholicCalendar I truly enjoy, CatholicCalendar is a helper to prepare a person to mass or to guide someone in the liturgy of the hours, not only that, the calendar is specific and shows you the importance of that day. It has the masses readings, order of mass, and mass today, which is an entire mass. CatholicCalendar has helped me a lot and I'm sure it can help you too.

This splendid app is being improved quite regularly. As a priest I celebrate the Divine Office daily and rely on Universalis when traveling or not in my chapel. I find the new addition of the spoken gospel to be good for preparing a sermon or meditating. The extended readings to give the daily gospel its context is another excellent addition. I do wish we had more hymn choice but I know this is difficult to procure between copyrights and fees.

I have used CatholicCalendar (full version) for years and just when they add features to make our prayer life more rich, they come up with something to enhance it even more!

Thank you to the developers for giving the Body of Christ such a wonderful gift to allow us to “remain in Christ” through the liturgy and other rich avenues of prayer.

Highly recommended.

I originally bought the liturgy of the hours in book form and loved the little books !!! But my devotion waned as my life became complex, and when I tried to return to them, I couldn’t re-master the flipping back and forth and was never sure I was reading the right sections…. THIS! puts it all together, offers hymn and format choices, and helps me as I try to become more faithful in prayer. I love it !!!

When I am following the Mass readings in CatholicCalendar , repeated requests (3 today alone) does not help the purpose of CatholicCalendar . ☹️
