I am a laity who wants to quench my spiritual thirst. This app is the best for Liturgy of the Hours or Divine Office. The free version is good, but the paid version is better. It let's you go back to previous dates, has commentaries, Lectio Divina, and other prayers. The app can operate offline, too.

i have been using Iniversalis since 2010 and am delighted with it. A question: why can't I set it to open when I engage the app as I can do on my kindle and iPad?

Update after several years of use. I cannot speak highly enough of this app! To have the Roman Missal, Liturgy of Hours and lots more in such an accessible and compact app is wonderful. I've shown it to quite a few people who thought I was on social media or something during mass... They're now all using Universalis! Thanks to the developers for the constant improvements.

An extremely helpful, complete, and user-friendly app for those wanting to pray LoTH. I simply pick a day and hour, choose options like invitatory, and it puts everything up in order to pray through. So much easier than flipping around in a much more expensive book. Also contains extras like daily Mass propers and saints of the day. All in-app, does NOT take you to third party websites I could find for free on my own. Only thing missing is musical notation for the hymns. Overall excellent.

This app was not working for a while, or so I thought. I had the cell phone navigation bar hidden, and it was interfering with getting the drop-down menu. I fixed that. I'm so glad I have full use of this app again. It has become a stable in my prayer life. When I couldn't get it to work, I missed following Mass easily. My parish has a Latin Ad Orientem Mass. I find the section where you can have Mass in English and Latin extremely helpful.

Terrific app! Love the format, custom notifications, and options. One bug I've noticed is that every Hour after the first one you pray, will start on the last page. It seems like a feature to "pick up" where you left off if you close and reopen the app, but it applies it to all prayers. So when I close the app on the last page of morning prayer, it will open mid morning prayer on the last, and so on. Otherwise keep up the great work and God bless!

If you want an OFFLINE breviary full of useful features, then you want this one. It is without a doubt the app that I use the most on my phone and it never lets me down. And on the service and support side of things, Martin does a terrific job of answering questions and just being a good guy. Give this one a look and I think that you'll be very happy with it. And if you DO like it, then consider buying the optional translations, as well. They're also good and it all goes to supporting a good cause.

Since last update on android 6&9 text format runs "off the page"....please fix! OK Turning off Modern Mode fixes readings formating but disables page turning. No issue on phones, but makes my Likebook Mars e ink reader unusable. Need page turn to use. Update....app is fixed. Thank you Martin for your quick and considerate fix of this unexpected issue.
