Imissal Catholic App Reviews

Mass reading are not working audio please help me to work thank you

I love this imissal app, however, the audio is not working. I used the audio almost every day to listen to the present readings. When I was getting ready, doing chores, etc I’ll listen to the Mass. To imissal app: I will PAY MONEY TO HAVE THE IMISSAL BACK. Listen to the public, they want the Imissal back and I don’t think they care to pay for the app. If a lot of us pay for other apps, why not paying for what’s important to us?

But not so much for special Masses and Feast days. The readings and the Gospels have been very accurate for years. This past Holy Week illustrates some short-comings. So many things are missing: the presentation of oils and the washing of feet on Thursday, the veneration of the cross and communion service on Friday (iMissal provided a complete Liturgy of the Eucharist), blessing of the fire, the Christ candle, the procession with “Christ Our Light”, the Exultet, etc., on Saturday night. iMissal does provide all 7 readings for Easter Vigil. Still, iMissal is an excellent resource for the daily Masses and those on Sunday. It also has a great collection of prayers. I use it quite a lot, actually. And because it does not require a constant connection to the internet, iMissal is very convenient and easy to use.

Unable to receive audio with imissal app

Update 4/6/19: sing praises! The audio is fixed!! Thank you !! Older:) I have loved this app for years. Other reviews are confirming my fears. This app has been abandoned. The audio stop working several weeks ago. I have gone to the site and and social media links. No updates for several years. I am so disappointed. The audio was the prime reason I used this. The bad thing is I purchased the saint portion several months ago for my son, encouraging him to use the app daily to hear the readings as he makes his bed or goes about his busy morning. Huge disappointment that this app has been not maintained 😟. They could have let us know.

Does anyone know why the sound isn’t working on the APP. We’ve tried deleting and re download, updating. There contact developer link is expired. Any ideas?

Previously, this app was among the best five Catholic apps I would recommend someone to have. Unfortunately, the story is different now. The developers have abandoned this once an exalted app.

I read the other review and I loved this app ..they have been no updates and know I can’t get an audio of the readings of the day .uggh

The Audio is back from this wonderful app.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💚✝️ Thank You✝️

Love being able to read the readings again and again to discuss with family over dinner how we each view the meaning. It’s truly a great app .... We hope they will continue to support this app since it’s been quite some time since the last up date

I use this app every day to read the daily Missal. As a traveler, it would be nice to see the St. Christopher prayer added to the list.

This app hasn’t been updated in three years. Thus last iOS update put in the last dagger. It no longer plays, but can still be read. I played it and listened while I got other things ready. I’m so very sad.

It’s a shame no one has been able to maintain this app. I’m a lector myself and it was my go to app when i wanted to prepare myself. The audio was one of the best features and now it no longer works with the new version of IOS. Very disappointing but I will keep my faith that someone will pick it up and update it 🙏🏻

Audio no longer works on any of my Apple devices (iPhone and iPad). Removed and reinstalled app...but still no audio. Used to be a great app.

hi, please fix the sound, before it would speak the words, nownits not working. thank you in advance.

Since the most recent update, audio is not working.

I have had this app for years now. With the last update, I am not able I play the audio version anymore and the text is full of typos. I’ve tried to contact support but there is no contact anymore. It appears to have been abandoned.

Plz fix audio before I can push to read now it won’t work can u guys fix it ASAP thank u

So glad this beautiful app was updated. I thought it was abandoned. I was trying to find other solutions but there is nothing out there that comes close to this app.

Has it really been abandoned? It’s a shame, I loved this feature.

The audio stopped working on this app. When looking for tech support, I was led a notice that the community is “no longer available.” What a shame.

Pretty please!

I love this app for so many reasons, among them being the use of the audio. I could listen to the scriptures, etc. on the go. I can no longer retrieve the audio. I have tried everything on my part to correct the problem. The help/support is no longer available. Can someone tell me how to retrieve audio?

I have used this app for years. The one MAJOR ERROR is that there is no MASS on Good Friday, this should be corrected.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for finally fixing the audio!!! I am very excited about this update. This app is AWESOME and I love this app. I use this app every day for my daily prayer time and during weekday mass to follow along with the readings since our missal does not include the daily readings. Again thank you for fixing the audio in the app.

Use to be great.

Love this app.

I paid for this app and think I deserve a refund due to the fact it no longer does what it says it does and has done for me in the past. Audio is no longer available is the biggest problem. Very disappointing! I can no longer recommend what once was a beautiful avenue of prayer. Anyone who purchased this app deserves a refund.

I really love this app. I get to read or hear the readings and the gospel before going to church. But audio when you play the readings is not working anymore. Please fix this. Really very good feature to not have.

This is a great app. Get it, you won’t be disappointed. A complete missal at your fingertips for this price is a no-brainer.

This year is A and it is reading A but you can't follow the written words as they are year C. I think. Maybe that will be the next fix.

Please fix

I used to use this app daily, as I truly love the mass readings daily; however, it does not have sound anymore. I counted on the mass being read, as I followed along in my Bible. I sent emails that were unanswered, and saw others complaining of the same issue. I have found another app that fulfills my need. Sorry iMissal. I loved you for years.

I have used this app for years but this week the audio has stopped working.

in the water. Very sad. Audio for the readings stopped.

The iMissal application has provided me with a tool to assist me in bridging my journey from here to eternity. However, it has been jarring to hear the Gospel read without much reverence; typically by younger males. Finally, why are the Gospel readers only white males? Are there not any available men of color who read the Gospel?

This is an app I have used daily to listen to the readings and gospel through my car audio. IMissal is easy to use but the audio was a key feature that I hope is fixed soon. I am willing to pay for the app to get this service returned.

I greatly enjoy this app and start my day with the daily scripture Only thing is I began enjoying being able to use the play option and being able to close my eyes and listen to the scripture being read to me. I very disappointed that this feature stopped working a few weeks ago and still not fixed Please consider correcting this wonderful feature/option Thanks you Cheryl

This use to be my favorite daily app but in the past four months the sound does not work!! I have googled and nothing helps. In the app there is support BUT it doesn’t work

I have tried several different apps for daily readings and this is the best. Accurate, easy, intuitive interface and no advertisements. Keep it up!

What happened to the AUDIO???

As with any App, the longevity is brief. It was or is still a readable app; however, audio is not not supported. I would give it Five Stars, if App was updated to IOS 12 and audio option removed.

This used to be an amazing app!! Now I cannot play the audio. Tried contacting support and they are no longer available. Is anyone overseeing this app?!?!?!

I no longer am able to hear audio readings

Sorry to have to post this review, as I do use the Readings portion of the app, which is up-to-date and accurate. Sad to say, the app appears to have been abandoned by the developers (no updates for three years), and there is no way to reach the development team. I hope another developer takes takes up this previously excellent app.

I used to listen to the daily audio readings. Sadly, that feature no longer functions. This was a favorite app that I used daily. Now its developers seem to have abandoned it.

This was a great application, but the audio no longer plays.

It needs to be fixed

The How to Pray the Rosary, and associated narratives are amazing. You become immersed in prayer with Mother Mary holding your hand.

Development has ceased ..... and I will dread the day it stops working .... if money was the issue, I would be glad to pay a yearly subscription to keep this up and running on my devices, I’m sure I’m not alone here. Let’s hope someone is listening! ⛪️

I would have given this app more stars if it had been updated, but the last update was two years ago! Today is the Memorial of Mary, Mother of the Church, a new feast decreed by Pope Francis, but one would never know that with this app because it’s not there. Even worse, there is no link to Feedback or Help. It’s nonexistent. As another reviewer stated, it appears that the app has been abandoned by Cancha, the creator. I don’t know why they even continue selling it in the App Store. Unless and until the app is updated, I can’t recommend it. Try using the New Missal app which is up to date.

I really like being able to follow the prayers of the mass with my iPod, but my parish seems to use other Eucharistic Prayers that are not available. Also, the app no longer jumps to sections of the mass. One has to scroll to the next section.

This app is so useful. And true to the original missal we use during mass it would be even better if the Latin phrases could be added in.

Need updated news from the app and it would not let me sign in for updates.

One of my top apps

I use this while traveling or during the week when I'm unable to attend mass. It is a wonderful, easy to use app. Start your day with this app and the day will be better.

I go to mass everyday. Only saw a difference one time, out of the last three months. Helpful in celebrating the mass.

Soy de habla hispana y me resultaba muy difícil hacer el seguimiento a la misa en inglés mientras tube que residir en Houston, co. Este misal pude superar el problema y vivir muchísimo mejor la misa diaria, gracias

Thank you for creating this wonderful resource for active Catholic.

Perfect app to get mass readings and a little touch of Gods magnificent.

Wonderful to have the Mass n Readings at your fingertips. To be engulfed in God's word whenever u need it or just want to be refreshed vcb81

Thoroughly enjoy this app. Would appreciate adding a separate rosary section, not just the prayers.

Accurate and usefull

Awesome app

Offers only 3 bible translation, 2 are Protestant and the NAB which is a very poor translation.

Very helpful. With prayers and readings it is a useful tool. Would like an easy way to get to votive masses and others available in the missal. This is a great substitute

I use Missal at every mass. It is my favorite!

Thank you!

The iMissal application has provided me with a tool to assist me in bridging my journey from here to eternity. However, it has been jarring to hear the Gospel read without much reverence; typically by younger males. As an experienced lector, the readings should not be read like a news report. Yet, this is the Good News. Finally, older listeners require a slower reading rate to process and reflect on The Word.

Good app but it would be nice to have easier to identify the eucharistic prayer used by the priest. Added 7-10-2017: I am downgrading my rating based on the developer's refusal to make any of the suggested changes/improvements to the app. The last update was in October 2015!

Reliable and complete, all masses and prayers at your fingertips. Best electronic missal available, great value for the cost.

While nothing will replace holding my Bible or rosary beads, what a great app to have on the go. Can't beat this if you only have a limited time to stop and pray or catch up on your daily readings, the bookmark function is a blessing and I love the Saint and Prayer library. Keep it coming, God Bless!

Since the update to iOS 11 the links at the top no longer work to take me to the different sections (liturgy of the word, Eucharist). It is a small annoyance but not one that makes me lower my star rating. I love this app. It is easy to use and full of resources. Being able to choose just the readings, full mass with notes, or in between is a great feature. Love that I always have it with me!

Fantastic app!

Love it!

This is a great app for my Prayer life.

This is a wonderful tool for any Catholic to use when they find themselves without guidance while on the go.

I absolutely enjoy iMissal. Each and every part of it, I read and enjoy! With my new phone my Saints didn't follow😢 I wish a purchase as that would.

This app has help me become more devoted with my faith. Best thing I ever came across.

Very easy to use still can't decide if should actually take to church or not

iMissal fills the daily need for liturgical references not directly available in other Catholic resources such as the Laudate!

A great app!! Get this app - you won't be sorry! I do my daily devotional on my phone using this app.

Thank you for consolidation of my daily devotion to our Holy Mother and the Trinity. This allow me to carry and practice devotion anywhere.

I enjoy having the readings at the tip of my fingers.

Being disabled I love being able to read the mass everyday even though I can't be in church.

Direct & versatile. Extremely handy.

I live in South Korea and this app helps me follow the mass while listening it in another language. Great prayers to build a daily praying routine. Thank you!

This app was and still in many ways is amazing, but Is no longer being updated. Not since iOS 9. What a shame.

great way to start the day off

It's great when the readings are the same as the readings for the day. Today May 1, the first reading is from Genesis. My Living Faith booklet says it is from Acts. I believe that it is from Acts. Proofing appears to be a problem!

Use this app every Sunday to prepare for reading the Liturgy

I use this app for daily scripture readings for Mass and Adoration. Combining it with the in-app purchased bible (New American Version) has worked great for reference to the readings if I want more depth. I have used the 'full version' option to follow along with the Mass and have not been disappointed with the accuracy, but I'm not looking for perfection, just an understanding of what's going on. For that purpose, this app works great. If you want a precise and totally accurate Mass version, I suggest buying a print version of the missal or subscribe to a monthly publication (Magnificat).

Great App - I use it daily! I use the audio part which at times has a few bugs but overall great tool to use with your daily walk with God.

Very helpful and handy!

Excellent - now include choice of Spanish or other languages!

Excellent app I have being using this app on my IPhone for quite a few years as I follow the mass at my local Goodshepard church Iam espiritualily guide tru out the entire mass I highly recommended this app to anyone great app..

love this app!

Please UPDATE this App !!

I’ve been using this app for many years now and with each OS update, it becomes harder to access, sometimes incorrect, and the readings no longer play. Can you please update? It has been very helpful in the past and now it is unpredictable and frustrating.

Love this app. It is everything I’d hoped to be! Daily prayers and devotions. My iPhone froze the first time I tried to give 5 stars and only gave three in error, sorry.
