Downloadable Universalis (iPhone)

Everything on this page refers both to the iPhone and the iPod Touch. There is no difference between the two devices as far as Universalis is concerned.

SUPPORT - If you need support, please email us using this page.

What you get

You get the same as on the Web:

1. The daily pages from the Divine Office: Office of Readings, Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Night Prayer.
2. The daily Mass readings.
3. The "About Today" page.
4. The liturgical calendar for the whole year.

Unlike the web site, there are no time limits. The web site gives you yesterday, today, and the week ahead: the download gives you everything without restriction, far into the future. The calendar works at least as far as the year 2400.

Advantages

• You get the Universalis content for all time, not just for the current week.
• You don't need to keep connecting to the Internet.
• The layout is clearer and easier to read and use.

Alternatives

• The free Catholic Calendar for the iPhone gives you the liturgical calendar and the lives of the saints from the "About Today" page.

Downloading and installation

You can download and buy Universalis for the iPhone from the iPhone App Store. Visit the store to see the exact price, which will be around £20 / $40. There is no annual subscription: once you have bought a licence, you can use Universalis for ever. When updates are needed, they will be available free of charge.

If you don't want to spend any money, you may be interested in the free Catholic Calendar for the iPhone.

Using the program

There are two main pages.

The text page

Scrolling

You can scroll the text by dragging it, just as with any other iPhone program.

Zooming

You can zoom in and out using the same pinch-zoom technique that works in Safari and other iPhone programs.

You can also double-tap on the text display to enlarge the text. After enough double-taps, the text goes back from large to small.

A quick shortcut back to the standard text size is to triple-tap on the text display.

Viewing different pages

Tap the Hours button on the top right to switch between About Today, Mass readings, the Invitatory Psalm, Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, Night Prayer, and the Office of Readings.

Viewing different dates

Tap the Dates button to go to the calendar page.

The calendar page

This lets you view and scroll through the liturgical calendar.

To go to the text page for a particular date, tap on that date.

Going to a different year

At the top of the calendar you will find a line saying "Previous year". Tap on this to go one year back. At the bottom of the calendar you will find a line saying "Next year". Tap on this to go one year forward.

Going to a specific date

Tap the Pick button to bring up the standard iPhone date picker.

Coming back to today

If you have been exploring the calendar and want to get back to today quickly and easily, tap the Pick button: underneath the iPhone date picker you will see a button marked Today.

Using a different local calendar

Different parts of the world have their own local calendars, with variations from the basic General Calendar. To change calendars, tap the "i" symbol at the bottom left of the calendar page.
