Catholic smartphone apps
« on: December 27, 2012, 04:04:23 AM »
Are you aware of any good Catholic smartphone apps? 

I know for iPhone/iPad there is the Breviarium Meum application written by the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate (FFI) and uses laszlo's Divinum Officium website.

Breviarium Meum

I also semi-regularly use the Android application "Laudate." 
Laudate

There was also this, Consecration to Mary.  It was pretty straightforward and not really ported too well to Android.  But, it gets the job done and provides the daily prayers for consecration to Mary.

When I first got my iPhone, I downloaded iPieta:http://www.ipieta.com/

Can't say if it's good or bad, really, I'm not much of an app person. It's got the daily readings from the Douay-Rheims, the trad calender, and lots of traditional catholic ebooks, so it can't be all bad. :)

I have iPieta as well.  It's pretty much a one stop shop.

Consecration to Mary

Great, thanks for this!  My Consecration starts up in a couple weeks, and I didn't even think to look for an app (and I'm always losing the books).  I noticed the prayers are worded a little differently than in the books, but I've got most of them memorized by now anyway.

I love iPieta. It has everything a Catholic could need, even the Summa and the Haydock commentary.

I've got a Fulton Sheen App and it contains a lot of his sermons.  The free version only has about 30 or so, but the full version has hundreds.

Edited to add:  Forgot to mention my Confession app.  I don't use it often, but it can come in handy (especially if you have trouble remembering the date of your last Confession).

Wow, I had no idea! I love listening to Fulton Sheen! Can you download the talks, as well as stream them? I'd love to put them on my ipod.  :)

The iMass app is very good. For 99 cents, you get a full missal and breviary, audio of sermons said by FSSP priests, and a live stream of daily low and  Sunday high masses said by the same FSSP priests all on your iPhone.

I'm not sure if you can do this or not.  I have the app for Android so I'm not sure if they even have this for the iPhone, but if you can figure out how to download or stream these, let me know!  That would come in quite handy.

iPieta is definitely worth it, with a few exceptions it's almost completely Traditional.  I don't think you'll be disappointed Voxx.
