Apps and programs

There are Universalis apps and programs for:

Android (& Fire)
iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch
Mac
Windows
You can create e-books for other systems, such as e-book readers and Windows phones.

Why use one?

Better translations than on the web site. This is because the owners of some of the texts we use do not allow them to appear on web sites.

No date limits. You can go as far into the future as you want – or into the past.

Better layout and more flexibility.

You don't need the Internet. The apps are self-contained. They have everything you need, for all time.

The “Mass Today” page. This merges the Order of Mass with the readings and prayers for the day, so you can follow the Mass right through without having to jump here and there through a missal.

A daily email service. This sends you the Hours you want, every day, by email.

Music and spoken audio. Optionally, the apps allow you to subscribe to daily audio content of the Hours and the Gospel. More details for Android. More details for iOS.
