I think the design is a little overblown as I am preferring the more flat design pattern as in iOS7/8.
The user interface is familiar as it follows the skeuomorphic design pattern of mimicking a physical book along with giving a patina of an old book. It is now a much better app and one that I will probably now use daily as they have really added some nice new features. The main reason I am writing this post is that recently they have released a new version of the app Divine Office 2. Still mainly I used Universalis for my daily reading and switching off to the Divine Office app for a change of pace or during octaves when Universalis got repetitive.

I mainly used this feature at times when driving and it was nice to hear a community of people singing the psalms along with professional recordings of the hymns. It has a very unique feature in that in addition it has audio versions for all the hours. The daily experience was rather seamless where you are not concerned about downloading the texts for the day. It was much like iBreviary as it used scrolling text and also used the official text.

At $13.99 now it is still a solid choice and is available on iOS and Android.ĭuring my year using an Android phone I start looking at apps again and at the time the Divine Office app was semi-affordable and so I bought it. Very well designed with some attention to detail.

On the plus side the app has been continually updated with changes made on phone software updates to match the user interface. My only annoyance with the app is that the text used is not the same text as in the official 4-Volume set and the selection of hymns is repetitive. It also had options such as what translation of the Psalms to use. It was also superior since instead of just scrolling the text you turned pages which was much more convenient.
DIVINE OFFICE UNIVERSALIS UPDATE
So for some years I have been fairly happy with Universalis as no daily text update is required. This changed when I got the first iPad and Universalis was the only Liturgy of the Hours iPad app at the time. I had been interested in the Universalis app, but at almost $30 dollars at the time I stuck with iBreviary. While good enough I was never happy with the daily update mechanism and the app itself has not been updated for a year and a half. The original entry in this field was iBreviary by Fr. show your face to the dead who are still deprived of your light.Ever since I abandoned the 4-Volume set of the Liturgy of the Hours for mobile app versions I am still always on the prowl for newer apps and updates. You revealed yourself to the blind man who begged for the light of his eyes, may they receive faith in the resurrection and in the life of the world to come. so through you we may gain eternal life.Ĭhrist, Redeemer, look on those who have no hope because they do not know you, raise up to life and glory the dead whom you have redeemed by your precious blood.Ĭhrist, consoler of those who mourn, you dried the tears of the family of Lazarus, of the widow’s son, and the daughter of Jairus,Ĭhrist, Savior, destroy the reign of sin in our earthly bodies, so that just as through sin we deserved punishment, We acknowledge Christ the Lord through whom we hope that our lowly bodies will be made like his in glory, and we say:Ĭhrist, Son of the living God, who raised up Lazarus, your friend, from the dead, Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,Īntiphon: All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I shall not turn away. We shall dance and rejoice in your mercy. But thanks be to God who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and sin gets its sting from the law. The Lord will guard your going and comingĪntiphon: If you kept a record of our sins, Lord, who could escape condemnation?Īntiphon:As the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son gives life to whom he wills. May flights of angels lead you on your wayĪntiphon: The Lord will keep you from all evil. as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
