Catholic Calendar: Universalis
You get a free one-month preview of the Universalis pages, which contain the Readings at Mass (with a choice between the Jerusalem Bible/Grail and the NAB translations), the Mass Today (which combines the daily Mass readings with the Order of Mass) and the Liturgy of the Hours: Morning Prayer, the three daytime hours, Evening Prayer, Night Prayer, and the Office of Readings.
If you like what you see in the one-month preview, you can take out a monthly subscription to it or you can buy the Universalis app instead.
This app is complete in itself. It needs no Internet connection and no downloads.

I love this app. Use it every day. Have been for years. Disappointed then to discover that when I get a new phone I need to pay again for access despite paying monthly all this time.
Very nice app for catholics who wants to pray breviery and mass reading including office and liturgical informations. Including Asia continent esp. India and many other 🤗😍👍
It is so convenient to have The Daily and Sunday Missals (with the option of regional calendars)..and The Divine Office and more at your fingertips. I would encourage everyone to try it out, even the audio version. Getting the most affordable one time subscription (which can be used on multiple devices) has been one of the best things ever.
Update: the issue was fixed on 5th May. Thank you! Really good but latest update buggy! There seems to be a problem with both apps (paid and trial). The text for all readings, psalms, etc. is no longer 'word wrapped' under mordern display mode. I've searched through the options, but unable to find any function that can correct this. Please do fix this/ let me know what to do.
I have been trying to download apps for daily use of the Catholic calendar and failing can I not just buy data and use
Incredibly user-friendly and excellent way to pray the Office. I use it multiple times per day, and even though I am normally a "book person", the ease of use and the extra features has meant I thoroughly rely on Universalis. One suggestion: maybe add a few more hymn suggestions, as I find I often will go to the paper books for their hymns and then return to Universalis. Pax
A really good app in many respects and an effective aid to a regular prayer life. To improve it further, I'd like to be able to join any of the daily offices together, which is something that I'm sure wouldn't be too difficult as you can already link the Office of Readings to another one. The only other thing, and I know some people would disagree with me, is that I'd like to have some regional accents reading the various parts of the office.
It's a good app. But I'm currently experiencing an issue with the app The issue is - I was praying till 12am this morning And the app has refused to change to the appropriate date of today been 4th of May. Please help and fix the issue for me. Thanks so much. Your app is wonderful. But if you can make the hymns and antiphons to tally with the hard copy, it will be appreciated. Once again, I thank you so much. Even till now, it is still showing yesterday's prayer.
it is very easy to use. I like it so much because of the help it offers when confusion sets in whilst opening the hard copies of my prayer books and missal especially when changing from one season to the other. thanks so much for the app.
A must have app for every Catholic... However recent update seems to have broken the wrapping of long sentences in the app, especially readings and prayers as they 'fall off' the display instead of being wrapped to the next line...
Excellent app. It has all the offices of the Liturgy of the Hours, prayers, the Angelus, the Rosary, Mass readings, multiple translations... And the font is lovely, very similar to the one in the physical Breviary. 100% recommended.
I have been using this app daily for years (10) and have never once had a complaint. It does everything it promises with tremendous ease of use. It has enriched my spiritual life enormously. A spiritual tool especially for Catholics or anyone who wants to do the liturgy of the hours on a daily basis. Best of the best.
Very helpful. I know & used the App since 2015. Never good tired. It's new everyday.
With the latest update (2.98- 2 May 2020), texts cannot be read properly, especially the scripture readings. Not resizing to fit screen. Using Android devices. Please fix asap!
This app is unbelievably vital for me. If you have your phone with this app on then you have access to your breviary, missal and lectionary all in one place. Thank you Universalis you make life so much easier.
It's a wonderful app not just for priests and religious but also for lay people. It's got everything you need from brevary prayers to scripture readings. Highly recommend this app as a help in praying and leading a good Christian life.
Beautifully descriptive Catholic prayer options, the app provides additional details and schedulings and helps establish a more religiously structured Catholic faith-based daily devotion. Highly recommend this app, especially if one chooses to construct a daily devotion to prayer.
An excellent reference to the office of readings. I always draw strength from the spiritual readings of the day. It helps that I can share the words of love to others as well :-) Keep it up Universalist Team! You have reallygood been a Godsend
I use it throughout the day every day. I find it so much easier to read than a paper breviary which tends to have rather small type.
After the latest update the text no longer wraps to match screen size. This was previously automatic. Is this caused by incompatibility with Android 9?
Very good app. Just that if you do not have an elecctronic wallet you can buy the calendar especially for people like us in Cameroon where the hard copy is also not available. I will appreciate if someone can help tell me how esle l can get one. Gratias
Thank you for this app of Prayer witch give us lots of praise to proclam our God. However, now I am using the trial and I have found that I read roughly 90% of the same prayers weekly... I would ask you if you can add more prayers and praises to enrich this app.
very good app I like it very much it gives everything. I do not get free preview for this month. when I download app, the dates shows rong. please send me this month calendar. Thank you.
This app is awesome. I really like it variety of masses and reflection after each reading. It has alot that I can not mention. I like it.
The app is brilliant but ever since I shifted from my Moto G4 to a Pixel 4a, I am unable to use the registration code. Can't seem to troubleshoot this issue.
Very useful. I deeply appreciate and immensely grateful. The new feature of choice from more hymns is very useful. BLESSINGS.
great app, I love checking it everyday and getting to read a little about some holy saints. It helps to be reminded of their examples everyday.
One of the best places for knowledge of the Christian day. I also have learned so much about so many Saints from this App. Thay are always updating.
This is my fourth year of using this app. Its really wonderful and upto date. My only problem with it is that it doesn't give me access to the music aspect of it, I mean it singing /chanting of the prayers of the hours. It keeps asking for access to my media.
