The app is good but it needs a redesign. For example when you want to read the Bible the text is not responsive and it's difficult to read it because it's white letters and a yellow background so it almost doesn't have enough contrast to read it easily. They should add more prayers as the one for the students.

The My Prayers section is a gold mine. Haven't found this anywhere else. It could be an app all by itself. Please don't change it but would love it even more if you could 1) "ghost" or "checklist" prayers so you know what you have left to say 2) a drag up-down reorder feature would be great 3) Expanded text capacity for prayers.

Absolutely love this app! Was told about it by a dear friend before I was brought in to the church almost three years ago and have loved it ever since. Both of my RCIA instructors even suggested it. I have had absolutely zero problems with it. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who was searching for a good catholic app to use on their phones.

I'm sure it's a great app for people who are raised as catholics, but for a potential joiner of the faith I find the lack of explanation of anything on the sections (and particularly the rosary pages) very very unhelpful and confusing. I don't know how to use this app. This is definitely for people who attended catholic schools and not for newbies.

Many different functions for different people. Very responsive. What I would like to see is some embedding of features and not that it takes you to an external site. I understand that's comphrensive, expensive, and time consuming but it would be awesome to see that in future updates. Thank you!

Exceptional application for Catholics. It keeps you updated with scriptures, Church's calendar. Spiritual events like saints day, podcasts etc

Absolute trash now. Used it for years and had previously recommended it to others; however, it is no longer faithful to the true teachings of the Church at all. It actually has become quite scandalous now. And reflections compare Kamala Harris to Mother Theresa??!! How absolutely absurd. I've purged the app from all of my devices. Have recommended friends to do the same.

Excellent app for the price. A tip, one I only just discovered, if you select the spanner in the home page and then select English readings, you can change the source for English readings. By default it's for US Catholics, but by changing the English readings source you will get the daily readings for your region! It's True. All of it. And it's free!

Using 'Shortcut Maker', I can make the DRC Bible portion of this app a widget - i.e., an app unto itself. Maybe you should consider that among your widgets??... (For those who want to do this, use Shortcut Maker: choose an 'Activities' shortcut, then Laudate > Books > (url)MassReadings(dot)DRBookActivity' )

I love it! There are a few typos here and there, and the interface has a slightly outdated feel, but I love it. Two complaints: the rosary audio doesn't let you skip back to a certain part you didn't hear, and you have to skip back to the beginning. Also, the interactive virtual rosaries are just klunky and tedious to use. Edit: Old typos in confession pages are still there.

I love the rosary podcast- perfect for driving. However, it does not always work.... it seems to crash the app

The app is great - a couple of quirks: sometimes have to stop (pause) something like Rosary or Divine mercy and when trying to restart wind up with the app doing two things - continuing & starting again so there are two unsyncronized voices - could a pause button be added; also trying to use the contact developer keeps sending me to help or share - yes fat fingers but usually can compensate for that - thanks

I don't like the changes made on the interactive rosary. The "dots" don't correspond to the appropriate prayers. I stopped using it, and now listen to the scriptural rosary, instead. However, I don't like the one by "Melissa". She has a quirky speech pattern I find distracting. Otherwise this is a totally awesome app. No ads, includes two editions of the Bible. Confession section very thorough .There's a link to EWTN as well as a catechism. This is the go-to app for Catholics.

Positive Experience. I love this FREE app. It has so much to offer. I am currently experiencing some issues on my phone app with the reflection, but I am able to access it via my Kindle. Other than that, I just love this app and use it daily. I have used it for many years and have never been disappointed. I'm always recommending to others as a very useful tool for prayers etc. I once had an issue, I wrote them, and they were quick with the reply and the fix. Again, I add "FREE" app!

This is an enjoyable, appreciated and interesting app. It's quite easy to navigate. There are many items of the Laudate to explore, learn from & with which to pray.----- Some items can be used without WiFi or Data, some can not. (The app would be huge if everything was available offline.) --- I think the calendar is very, very useful to find today's Readings. --- The only glitch that I have found is that the choice of Latin Rosary gives the text in English, not Latin. The Latin prayer section's prayers are, indeed, in Latin- just as we learned them back in the olden days. --- I want to publicly thank the developer for creating this app and giving it to all of us to enjoy and from which to learn and re-learn! Enjoy This Day!

Previously had Laudate on my android phone. Suddenly I could not connect with any part of the entire site I found comprehensive and useful. I checked the app later and it seems as though it should run on my phone. A friend have the same situation and she directed me to pick up app on Google Play. I then entered through Laudate's FB page and miracle dictu, it worked! I was giddy with the success! Today when I clicked the icon loaded on my homepage and the d#*^ thing didn't open again. HELP

I think this app is really comprehensive.. However, it definitely has some kinks that make using it annoying if not difficult. I start with morning prayer and very, very often when I attempt to switch to Bible verse for the day, it keeps on searching for an extended period of time. I have to uninstall and install again in order to continue. I would be a happy camper if this could be corrected.

I love this app! It's a wonderful resource, but it isn't user friendly. The set up is clunky and bland. The whole format can be updated for better navigation and improved prayer experience. I wish there were notifications/reminders for prayer and ways to be more interactive with the user. There could also be interactive devotionals with a daily tracker. Overall to have an interactive faith experience with a well organized and updated format would really improve this app's experience.

Static Rosary 'image' is a clunky addon that needs to be revised. If you click anywhere outside of the next virtual bead, in the Rosary or Divine Mercy applets, it tells you 'Please follow the order of the Rosary,' which is not only distracting, but it's unhelpful.... Picking the desired mystery is a bit cumbersome as well as it's not intuitive to press the X for that option. There's also a noticeable delay with the app itself, lacks flow and seems to rely a bit too much on external content.
