The Divine Office App is an opportunity for you to participate in the recitation of the Liturgy of the Hours, an ancient and meditative collection of psalms, hymns and scripture that represent the public prayer of the Christian community. If you are unable to pray in community, but love the contentment of praying with others, a praised feature of the Divine Office App lets you view locations where other Christians around the world are simultaneously praying with you. This version is the official prayer book of the Catholic Church, however, it is suitable for all Christian faith traditions. It contains the official text and audio of daily prayers from the Liturgy of the Hours of the Roman Catholic Church (Breviary) and has been approved for use in the United States by USCCB. The Divine Office App is designed to make praying more convenient, enjoyable, and simple enough for anyone to use. It automatically downloads the appropriate prayers for each office, every day of the year, including Solemnities, Feasts, and Memorials. When St. Paul advises us in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to “pray without ceasing,” he intends more than simply bowing our heads and speaking to God on a regular basis. He means for us to adopt an ongoing attitude of prayer that is a way of life and a constant intercession for the salvation of all mankind. As the mystical body of Christ prays in unison, it fulfills what Paul advises as Christian conduct, that believers at once pray for the good of themselves, their neighbors, and the world. In this way, prayers become liturgy, a way to fulfill our divine calling and a practical approach for addressing the suffering of the world.

I can honestly say, this is the first time I’ve ever given thanks to God for an App! It prompts me when it is time to pray, I am thrilled to wake up to hear the songs and prayers first thing in the morning, & throughout the day. Some days I drift off to sleep listening to the songs and prayers. It sings the most beautiful songs and hymns daily! Just when I need a prayer boost, the words are there to inspire and remind me of what is most important in life. The giant Earth rotating around on its axis letting me know where the other faithful are praying in real time is the best... is is my favorite App. :-).

And what a well done app! It has allowed me to basically retire my breviary. It lives on my bookshelf now as a backup ... no more ribbon juggling, page flipping, etc., just launch the app and flow through the hours smoothly, without those previous distractions. Oh, I could pick a nit or two, notably the occasional mismatch between the text and the audio, but on the whole much easier to use than the tradition printed volume. And the inclusion of the audio is wonderful for simulating the experience of praying the hours in community. Well done. Highly recommended.

I have used a couple of other LOH apps for several years but I recently downloaded the Divine Office app to try it. I really like the audio part of this app. The singing of the hymns is beautiful and the readings of the antiphons and strophes of the psalms has a slow, clear and contemplative style that is prayerful for me. It really seems that I am praying with others when I use the app. I also like the map showing other sites across the world praying at the same time. One negative is that infrequently the prayers do not match the US LOH readings and psalms listed in my ordo. Not sure why.
