Customer Reviews
Totally Catholic ....
& Totally awesome!
I can't believe how awesome it is!
This app is absolutely awesome! I love the calendar on it too, because it is both Traditional and Novus Ordo. Also, the way you can search the entire app is incredibly handy for when you have a phrase in your head, but can't think of where in the Bible (or other book) it is from. Great job and keep up the great work! Ad Jesum per Mariam!
D.R. Harder to read
I love this app but don't use it regularly because of the translation. Many apps have the NRSV available for purchase. If the iPieta developers included a newer translation, this app would be wonderful!
