Breviarium Meum 4+

I once tried to pray with a printed-and-bound breviary, and I was totally overwhelmed by all the flipping, etc. This marvellous app, however, prepares the entire office, including the proper prayers for feasts and Sundays and puts everything in order on one page. Abbreviations are few, which is most useful for a beginner. Several editions of the breviary are available, including the 1960 rubrics (which can be used to satisfy the canonical obligations of clergy). Numerous supplementary prayers (in Latin) are provided in the appendix.

The parallel translation is a bit tight in portrait on the iPhone, though it is acceptable in landscape. Downloads are fast and can even be stored to be prayed later offline. The display can be adjusted with respect to contrast and text size.

All-in-all, this is well worth the price, at least for those interested in the traditional Latin prayers of the Church, or for clergy following the Usus Antiquior. Many thanks to the Franciscans of the Immaculate for their app!

What a wonderful way to carry around and pray the Breviary wherever you go! Many thanks to the developer.

This is a really slick app. No flipping back and forth through pages of a book, and the downloads are really fast. Everything is just there where you need it. Although parallel English translation can be configured though the settings, the small size of the iPhone screen doesn't really do it justice. No doubt it looks great on the iPad. Many thanks for making this available.
