1. 3/5If it didn't crash all the time I'd like it

   The app works great with voiceover. I can give it that. However, when I try to go in to say some 51 in the confessions area it crashes when I try to go into daily prayer in the daily prayer area it crashes everything I try to do on this app it seems to crash I'm going to try to uninstall and reinstall all I click the app support page button here and was taken to a blog I really should've been taken to an email address message set up so I could send my problem to the app developer not their blog 2+ one it with Google yeah I have a Google account yeah I would +18 because yeah I like the app and it's designed for voiceover because it doesn't have very many unlabeled buttons that I've found so far but you should really rethink your app support button and I hope I hope because I had my diagnostic stuff turned on you get my crash logs today you should get my crash logs today if everything goes right I hope you have developers are getting my crash logs so I'm going to uninstall and reinstall and see if it on breaks and I think I'll raise my writing from one start of something else I know this is a long with you and honestly there should be a button that says Catholicism for beginners in the app for people like me I'm not a Catholic I'm just trying to learn about the face and yeah I don't know where to turn so I'm turning here because my friend recommended the app I just hope I find stuff for beginners

2. 3/5In Depth and Faithful. Appearance Could Be Better for Phones.

   It is wonderful to have such a complete aid to the faith in one app. Everything needed to learn and pray is here. The app seems to be provided only for the purpose of providing a source for those in search of a way to learn and increase faith through daily reading of the liturgy, Saints, prayer, and information. My only suggestion or criticism is that the last update changes the appearance of the Saint of the Day section. There is more an annoying border around the edge. When using the dark background, the white border makes the text difficult to see on the phone. This is a new change from one of the recent updates. I hope this can be rolled back, as it adds nothing to the aesthetic of the app. This also makes reading at bedtime too bright. Otherwise this OS a wonderful app that helps without asking for anything in return.

3. 1/5Not a reliable Catholic reference

   Laudate looks like a great scriptural resource but there are hidden errors. For one it scrapes the text for Liturgy of the Hours from the Universalis web site without giving due credit or explanation. Even removing identification notice from the Universalis page. Far worse, Laudate uses text from an unreliable Blog page for commentary on the Daily Readings of Sacred Scripture. There have been several instances of the Blogger inserting accolades to famous politicians and celebrities under the guise of being “fruits” of the works of some Saint. But these noted persons are not Catholic, do not lead exemplary lives and in fact many of them are immoral, atheists, and support abortion. Who is this Blogger? They are not identified in their Blog site. No indication of their religious affiliation, qualifications for scriptural commentary nor which parish or organization they are affiliated with, if any. This pattern of errors and lack of transparency and authority is a grave danger to those seeking a resource for learning about and worshipping with the true Catholic faith. Please use Universalis app or web page directly or many other apps such as iBreviary that use reliable Catholic sources. And they will clearly identify those sources and give due credit and/or permissions.

4. 1/5Misaligned with Catholic Church teachings

   I used to love this app and have now deleted it. The content in the daily Bible verse comes from SeekFirst which is just one person’s blog site. No information provided on it who the blogger is, their affiliation with any Catholic community or scriptural authority. Out of all the amazing resources for scriptural commentary Laudate chose this blog?! It is a great app but sadly corrupt on its resources. I did verify in the app for Jan 27 they say the fruits of this saint’s works are Angela Merkel (East German so likely atheist), Margaret Thatcher (Protestant), Kamala Harris (promiscuous very supportive of abortion). Teresa of Avila is thrown in there. Since they were contemporaries but separated by distance (Spain and Italy) I doubt Saint Angela Merici had much impact on Saint Teresa forging her way in the Church. Saint Teresa was a force of her own nature subjugated to the will of God. When contacted for comment Laudate has not expressed or shown any change to vet resources and content to be aligned with Catholic Church teaching except for a bland “for those that choose to delete the app were sad to see you go” and a wishy washy message of needing to unite. They simply are uniting with the wrong ways and thinking and a gross misrepresentation of the Catholic Church.

5. 5/5Great app! Cloud support?

   This is a great app! I do daily readings using my phone as well as my tablet sometimes. Every once a while I find a prayer that I’d really like to keep and I put it into the “my prayers” section of the app. Even for me being in my early 20s, it is difficult to navigate different parts of the app especially the my prayers module. I can only imagine what older folks using this app have difficulty with. Additionally, I think cloud support would be really nice because I use both my phone and tablet to add prayers. If I add a prayer to my phone the next time I’m using my iPad and check the prayers module, and none of the ones I added on my phone are there because there’s no account used for the cloud to connect them. I think this would be a great add-on to an update. I just had another idea that I thought about a couple weeks ago when I didn’t want to manually add all the feast days of the Saints to my phones stock calendar app. I’ve seen a few other apps ask for permission to use the Calendar app to import saint feast days and holy days of obligation etc. which I think would be awesome to have included using this app as well. Thank you for keeping this app running, many of us are so happy to use it!
