iBreviary Pro Terra Sancta HD for Pc

The app is a great tool which I found invaluable on my mission trip to Africa. I was able to download 2 weeks in advance which gave me access to the liturgical texts I needed without packing my books. This is a big advantage over the other apps that I am aware of as they need Internet access on the day when I want to use them. The rites, prayers, and blessings present have proven very useful as well. I like the addition of the Mass editor but it is only a first attempt for that so it needs work. I look forward to seeing the improvements on that as they are rolled out. For my purposes as a permanent deacon, I would like to be able to choose which parts of the Mass to include. This week I am collaborating on a communion service as part of a retreat we will be doing in a prison. Since no priest was available we cannot have a mass and I would have preferred to eliminate the Eucharistic Prayer which will not be used, as I emailed the liturgical team for the retreat.

I have always appreciated this app even from its early days. It keeps getting better and better. I do have a few complaints, however, that refer to the English language. In past versions the propers for the Dominican Order was included. Those seem to have been removed. I don't know why, I never saw a explanation. Granted, the developer may not be at fault. But, he should communicate changes like this more clearly. Another issues is the collects. Due to the new translation of the Roman Missal in the English speaking world there is a disjunct between the Collects that are common to the Mass and the Office. The developers have done a great job of incorporating these new collects in he festive seasons, commons, and propers. However, Ordinary time has not been done. Hopefully they are working on this. The most frustrating deficiency to this app is the hymns associated each hour. I'm aware that not every English language version of the Divine Office has the same hymns. However, I would have hoped that by now the developers would have included all of them. Without having access to all the hymns in the Breviary it makes it inconvenient to pray the Divine Office with others. Obviously, this is not a problem if you only say it on your own. However, saying the Divine Office in private s less than ideal. Other than these three relatively minor frustrations I love this app and recommend it to anyone who desires to pray he Prayer of the Church.

This app sits in pride of place in the top left of my home screen on both my iPad and iPhone. Beautiful design, intuitive interface, PLUS all the astonishing riches of the Church's way of prayer right here in my pocket all the time. That's hard to beat. I'd been following Christ for over 20 years, a devout Evangelical. S Catholic friend Introduced me to the Liturgy of the Hours and it turned out to be one of the most significant gifts that our Lord gave me, ultimately drawing me across the Tiber and into full communion with His Body. So be careful!! if you start using this app these prayers will likely change your life ;-). And really, how many apps do YOU know with over a thousand ratings of which MORE THAN 90% of reviewers give it 5 stars??it tells you something when there isnt even not a single reviewer who rates it less than 4 stars... Just get the app already! Now!

I love this app! I pray the morning, evening and night prayers everyday. This app is really helpful as I always have my mini iPad with me and can use it at any time as compared to the hard copy of the Liturgy of the Hours which is too big and bulky to carry comfortably (although the Shorter Christian Prayer is convenient but doesn't have all the hours I want). I, like the priest in another review, would like to be able to turn the pages rather than scrolling through the prayers. Also, it would be nice if the date changed automatically instead of having to press the "today" button, which I sometimes forget to do. Nevertheless, I would recommend this to anyone who is interested and in fact I have--most have downloaded the app and love it as much as I do.
