Hymns do not match with the printed books here in the U.S.

Pros: A beautiful digital version of the print version you are used to, complete with “church font” and rubrics.Ĭons: Doesn’t match the print version entirely –the readings are often much shorter than those in the print breviary (make note of this when you pray with others using the print version) Calendars aren’t biased to United States saints/feasts. Previous day’s Compline is an option each day.iOS version includes a spiritual diary wherein you can jot down your personal thoughts and share liturgical texts via social media.It includes an optional closing prayer in the “old” (2nd edition ) English translation which is useful if you are praying with others using print Breviaries.

Most breviary apps include the shorter reading. When using these apps in a group setting, keep in mind that the single volume Christian Prayer book has a longer reading than the reading taken from the 4-volume breviary. We also include in our list apps for both Ordinary and Extraordinary (Latin 1962) Roman Rite liturgies. We include versions for non-Roman Rite as well as Roman Rite, depending on the app. These are our top picks for Liturgy of the Hours apps (also known as Breviary or Divine Office).
