Pros and cons of iBreviary TS Plus app for iPhone and iPad

iBreviary TS Plus app good for

All included: hours, missal, etc. more and more faithful to the book!

It works very well, but Id like the app remained in the same position when I change to other app and go back.

Very good app. Useful and blessed. Giving thanks in everythings.

Just great, wonderful, excellent - BUT: please work on a GERMAN translation!!! Yours faithfully, Max Stetter

fast and good working app. Instructions and tutorials are mostly in italian- but not needful for using texts, prayers, readings... A German translation would be nice

This is the best breviary app, good design and easy to use, many languages available incl Latin

Some bad moments

The app is nice but the texts are often missing, and they are the core feature. Sometimes only the psalms are available, sometimes nothing. At least in French.

I used to love this app but now it is always crashing and I get blank pages for the readings.

I had been enjoying this service for several years but now will stop as "incusive" language rears its ugly head.

Good unique application, nice user interface. Too often, it is difficult or impossible to download prayers: server or app error? No idea… Frequent missing texts make it difficult to count on it daily.

First, let me say that this could be a great app for the Liturgy of the Hours. The recent rewrite is attractive, but like all the earlier versions it is not yet stable. Readings for some days are not always correct, and the app crashes far more often than the original version. I dont feel I can rely on it for regular use, and most probably will delete it and go back to another app.

The problem which I thought has been corrected earlier has resurfaced. The gospel for Aug. 1 has the correct reference (Mt 14:13-21) but the printed text is Mt 14:22-36.
