Customer Reviews
Outstanding find!
I stumbled upon this application by accident -- and what a find! iBreviary provides the daily readings for Catholic Mass, prayers of the hours (Breviary) and other prayers, all translated into English, French, Italian, Latin, Spanish and the Ambrosian Rite. To change languages, go to the Settings Panel (probably on the home screen of your iPhone/iTouch) to choose your language and text options for this app.
I'm sure this will come in handy when I feel the need to pray and/or reflect on things of a more spiritual nature than some of the games I've purchased. :-)
Note that iBreviary requires an Internet connection to download each day's readings, but it's very quick and saves the text for the rest of the day without reconnecting.
Well done Dimitri. Thanks for creating this application!
From Father Paolo
I found this at the cultofmac.com website. It was written by Father Paolo Padrini. I hope this is helpful. It was dated December 13, 2008.
Dear Sirs,
Editing and Friends of iBreviary,
first of all I wanted to thank you for the support already shown towards our application.
iBreviary, as you know, it’s a new application for iPhone,
available from immediately in Spanish, French, English, Latin and Italian.
iBreviary offers the possibility, in a simple way and in a perfect “Apple
style”, to pray in mobility with the prayer of the Breviary.
It offers besides the readings of the Mass of the Day (Missal), as well as the
principal Catholic prayers.
The application, realized by me together with the technician and
developer Dimitri Giani, has got the approval and the encouragement
of the Vatican.
iBreviary has now reached its third updating.
This updating brings important changes:
- available application in version Italian and English
- available readings in English, French, Spanish, Latin and in Ambrosian Rite
- possibility to pray with the Compieta of the previous day
- new dress graphics
- possibility to increase the size of the characters
- possibility of use in formed “landscape” rotating the iPhone
- page of explanation about the use of the Breviary
- fix of some bugs
The application is available inside the app store to the price of
support for the developers of 0,79 cents (Euro).
Besides, also Facebook will have his “digital Breviary”. Its name is
“Praybook” and it’s an available application on the most important social
network of the world.
The application allows to pray on line with the same prayers of iBreviary.
Thanks for everything.
