If you’ve ever tried to take the Liturgy of the Hours with you, then your muscles must be getting pretty big by now. It’s four volumes long! Yeah, there’s a condensed version of it available, but that’s still one more thing to carry around.

I downloaded the app to give it a test drive. I have to say that I’m rather impressed. There aren’t too many Catholic apps for the iPhone (and good ones for that matter) so I’ve been patiently waiting for one to come along. This app is great because it’s so simple. It has the Office of Readings, daily readings, and common Catholic prayers such as the Angelus, Apostles Creed, and Act of Contrition, just a tap away. It’s pretty handy!

The biggest downside to this app is that the translation is a little rough. It’s obvious that the author is italian since the app is mostly in italian. Make sure you set your default language in your iPhone’s configuration panel, or you won’t be able to understand anything! But at $0.99 you really can’t complain. This is a great companion to any iPhone/iPod Touch carrying Catholic.
