Universalis App Reviews
Can the office of the hours be made to pray any easier than this?? What a great ap. They say singing is like praying twice. I think praying with this ap qualifies too!
Faultless
Downloaded it three years ago, never had a problem, got the local calendar I need. Would highly recommend it.
The Universalis app has become a significant aid both in prayer and as a reference for when I’m writing about liturgical matters. The fact that the whole text for any day of the year, for any year, is included means that I don’t have to look elsewhere for the Mass readings, the Morning Prayer or a brief history of the saint of the day. There are a few small variants from the official (and expensive) books, whether for the Liturgy of the Hours or for the Mass. Some clergy and religious complain, therefore, that they cant use Universalis to fulfill their Office obligation. But often these variations are more felicitous and faithful to the original Latin than the official renderings, and as a layman I find that worthwhile.
I love the Liturgy of the Hours paper books, but keeping track of where I needed to be was always a challenge. This app makes it so much easier. Fast, convenient, and well-designed. I highly recommend it.
As a Priest ... an INCREDIBLE App and Asset
I have been using Uniuversalis for years and it is perfect for my needs. As a Fathers of Mercy, I travel 7-8months of the year, and offer many Masses out of my traveling Mass kit. I use the Roman Missal and Divine Office function the most. I have never had a problem with it. Plus the Angelus reminders are nice also.
Fantastic!
I love this app. Everything is always downloaded, so there is no need to deal with internet connections, etc. All the major things are available (Mass, Order of Mass, readings, liturgy of hours, etc.) and the user interface is intuitive even for things like changing font size. The only thing that could possibly make it better is having it available in Spanish, and also to have the readings and responsory match that of the breviary used in the US and iBreviary. I highly reccomend this to all priests, religious, and all Christians looking to pray more and have access to the readings of the Church. The info about the day and biblical rosary are great too!
Calendar Broken on Mac App
I paid for the Mac app just so I could have use the Catholic calendar with Mac's own Calendar app. Doesn't work. I tell it Universalis to share the calendar but it doesn't. If I try to open the settings again to check it then settings won't open. So I quit the app and reopen. Setting to share calendar with system is unchecked. Check it again. Nothing happens. Repeat above. Doesn't work. Very disappointed. M1 MacBook Air with MacOS Ventura.
