Daily Readings for Catholics Reviews

by Just A So-and-so

It’s so nourishing to read the daily readings and I often benefit from the commentaries too. I find the type size easy to read so this is my go-to app BUT I wish it added a few details:
1. What day are the readings from? Tuesday of the tenth week in ordinary time or perhaps the feast day of St. so-and-so?
2. What is the psalm response? That’s an important part of the psalm reading!
3. Those two are most important - this one is not but it would be wonderful to know where the beautiful churches are that are pictured. I find those pictures fascinating and uplifting.

Trying to read scripture daily. Can never find or remember to bring my bible or a book with the readings. The internet alone is a distracting place-- go to find readings but leave without any. DailyReadings goes with me on my phone but has reading alone. Now I have what I need to pray without the distractions that prey. Graphics are a bit underwhelming for a spoiled millennial like me, but not enough to have me look somewhere else for the daily readings. Excellent app. Use it almost daily. The comments and liturgical calendar or feasts/memorials are a bonus.

DailyReadings has brought a lot of family’s together. I think DailyReadings can have some kid friendly games because my daughter loves to read me these passages but she always like to play games that teach her about God. I think DailyReadings will teach people more about God, Mary and Jesus with some creative thinking with this my husband says that DailyReadings is good but not great because of the adds I will like to have no adds on the games or DailyReadings . I would like to learn about the Bible more. DailyReadings and that will make me get closer with God .
The best,

I just love DailyReadings. Not only did it provide the daily Mass readings, but it provides a wonderful commentary. What I REALLY love is the commentary. These are written by saints and Church fathers. I often find their insights to be so illuminating, thought provoking, incisive. I usually have something worthy to ponder each day. There is also something very powerful about seeing that sermons written almost 2 thousand years ago share many of the struggles we have today. Now this marvel exists in the Bible, but is perhaps not as shocking because the Bible is inspired word from an eternal God. But it is very moving to feel such a connection to Saints and believers so many years ago. It is wonderful to not just know the names and sometimes life stories of certain saints, but to actually read their words and feel the power in them.

I used to use the USCCB site but got tired of all the ads on the site. DailyReadings is just the readings making it better to focus. I love the simplicity The audio is a little weird as is computer generated-would be much better to have a real person for those times that I like to listen to the readings.

As a lector I find DailyReadings very helpful for practicing the readings and Responsorial Psalm verses...the only ‘complaint’ I have is that although the Psalm verses are there, the actual Responsorial Psalm to be ‘responded’ by the congregation is NOT there...so it’s a bit incomplete for me as a lector. May this could be added(?)
😁 however, the photos, presentation and reflections make DailyReadings a Free and enriching and VERY handy Gift😇 to ANY recipient!

The daily readings and at first I didn't like it the new version because the print is too small for my eyesight
Then lo and behold I noticed that by enlarging the print manually, it still keeps the text within the page
This is brilliant as so many other apps don't have this feature
Congratulations!!!

This has been my saving grace. I look forward to my morning readings to guide me. My family has been going through many struggles and as I was seeking answers, I happened upon DailyReadings. It has brought me closer to God and much comfort. I find answers and wisdom from these daily readings. I’ve always thought myself a good person but I was blind and not aware of the handbook in front of me that would make it so. As we continue to struggle I can whether this stage with dignity as through His word, He is with me every step of the way. I’m taking this difficult journey with God but our side. I’m doing my best to interpret, understand and learn from the life lessons he is teaching me along the way. May DailyReadings continue to open my eyes to God’s plan so I can do what he is asking of me. I am forever his servant.

I love DailyReadings. It is the first thing I read in my morning meditations. It encourages me and calms me. I love that I’m reading through the Bible by using DailyReadings. I love the clean and simple presentation. The only one feature I wish it had was the ability to forward a reading by text to another person to encourage them.

I always had to search for Sunday Mass readings. DailyReadings has given me a way to keep current readings on hand at a moment’s notice.

Great supplement to follow up with my kids to ensure their understanding of the readings & to review so I can answer their questions. Also very handy on days we miss church for whatever reason. Not a substitute but very much a valuable resource.

I've tried multiple sources to find the best daily reading app on my iPad. I like this one the best. The spacing makes it easy to read. The fact that it's on my iPad makes it convenient for me to read whenever I find a quiet moment. Also, the photos are beautiful and glorify God as an addition to the reading. Thanks so much for making such a great app!

Today was the first time I used DailyReadings and I'm really impressed. I found DailyReadings upon looking for reading to follow along while watching live mass at home, due to recovering. So this really helped me to read and not feel like I was missing out on mass.

It's a really easy app to use. Two clicks and youre on to reading the readings for the day. Thanks for the great app!

I appreciate having DailyReadings on my phone. As a returned to our Catholic faith member of the Church I now have access to the daily readings. This morning I went to Mass and enjoyed being able to read along as the lector read today’s readings and afterward I read the commentary on the Gospel which clearly explained what Jesus was attempting to do. Also I like to read about the saint of the day.

During this Lenten season, I wanted to adopt a practice that would fundamentally draw me closer to the Lord. I am so thankful to have found DailyReadings because it brings the blessing of the liturgy into my palms every single day. What a special gift! I am deeply grateful to have my faith guided by your works. I pray that in writing this review, others may also be encouraged to experience the beauty of that DailyReadings brings. Thank you and God bless.

I've always been told that it would be helpful in my faith life to read the daily Mass readings. But in the business of life, I never found the time. Now with DailyReadings, the readings are literally at my fingertips. DailyReadings makes it so convenient and easy to read them anywhere or anytime. It's a beautiful way to start the day and gives me something new to reflect on throughout the day.

It's hard to carry a bible with me and even harder to read at home with all the things that I need to do with the family. Even though this should be at the top of the list. DailyReadings has helped me a lot to become a better person all around. I try to read it daily and out to practice what the gospel dictates. I'm so happy to have found DailyReadings. God bless you all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

Wonderful App that does many great things. It’s one thing to take the word and it’s another to take it and look deep for meaning for today’s world. With the commentary helping us to understand and the Saints reminding us that our toil is no different than theirs. (Ok maybe an uptick in technology—like an electronic tablet as opposed to a stone tablet) but the times they aren’t a changing and DailyReadings reminds us that their has been and always will be ONE struggle and ONE path: seek and ye shall find.

I was searching for an app that would support my daily involvement in Bible reading and mass and this is it. It loaded easily on my iPhone, launches fast so now first thing in the morning I can quickly go to the daily mass readings and start my day off with the support of my faith. Now when I wake after saying my personal prayers for my family I open DailyReadings and read the daily mass readings and finish my prayers. It’s had such a positive impact on how I approach the challenges of work and family.

Years back I didn’t believe in the Lord God. But after speaking to different people and starting to attend church on Sundays. My life started to change. After that I began reading the Holy Bible. I was getting very interested in what the Bible was telling me. Then after I got hurt and had constant pain, the medication wasn’t the answer. So I began to pray to God to get help. At first I didn’t believe but after doing this on a last daily basis things started to happen. My pain has started to ease up. But if you do pray and ask God for help and you do believe in God things in your life will change. I know my pain will never go away but at least I can tolerate it a lot better.

I find DailyReadings so enriching and inspirational as it offers you the Church’s daily scriptural readings along with the reflections of Holy people throughout the ages.

The reflection and commentaries are from people the Church has recognized through the ages as being worthy of being exemplified as they put the Word in action in their daily lives.

On occasion the reflection may not speak to me but DailyReadings also
offers the Church’s saint of the day. Take time to Google the Saints Name and you will find additional enriching and inspirational reading.

All this reading can be accomplished within 15 minutes.
If you take the time and give these passages your full attention
It can become life changing as Jesus Christ comes into the forefront of your life and is no longer left in the background.
Just like the Saints through the ages Jesus Christ becomes someone you begin to know rather than just read about.

DailyReadings is a fine tool in helping you to become a better person who is a little more at peace, a little more present to the ones you love and more patient with the crazy things in life that can really get you worked up if you don’t have a focus on what is really important.

ENJOY & MAY GOD BLESS YOU
