Pros and cons of Catholic Mass Times Church Directory app for iPhone and iPad
Catholic Mass Times Church Directory app good for
Worked fine for me on the first run. Found the church I was looking for (in Canada!). One churchs website made the app freeze though (St. Monicas in Montreal).
I just used this app to find an evening mass at a nearby church. This is PERFECT for what it promises to do and more! It listed all nearby churches; those with a mass already celebrated had a red icon, but those with a mass to be celebrated still had a green icon. Easy links are offered to parish websites for double-checking if mass schedules are still current or to locate the most recent bulletin. Thanks so much to whomever designed this app and provided it for free! Will remember you at mass every time I use it!
Just updated to 2.1.2, and cant see where to bookmark a church??? Also, when you tap "info" Im getting a 404 not found message.
Other than that - this app does what it says - and has been very helpful in travels!
Thanks for updating the app. I am a truck driver and rely heavily on this app to get to Mass so after it quit working after the iOS 7 update I was in a spot. Using the web based site was difficult to say the least especially as I had to type in cities near me to find info.
This app is a real blessing for me as it will use location to find info for me.
Thanks again!
Good job fixing those bugs and iPhone 5 compatibility. Also very good app for finding churches nearby when out of state.
Our family travels frequently for sports and often on Sundays away from home. This app is invaluable for finding local churches to attend. I recommend highly for traveling Catholics everywhere.
Some bad moments
The mass times app uses Gps only when the app is open but this one only has the Always or Never option. There should be the When using the app option too.
Hate to give this a bad review but it wont stop crashing on me. No update available, either.
Late to mass again. No one updates the times and I dont blame them since its too difficult to do so.
Need to input city and state to get any kind of useful info. Even then the app misses a few churches that I know exist. Improve or will be deleted. Thank You!
Notice how all the reviews prior to 2016 are very high, but so far reviews posted in 2016, including mine are poor.
Developers made major UI changes in last upgrade that dramatically reduced the usability of the app. Not only are the readings and Saints of the day just run together in one long list, but you can no longer advance forward one day to see the reading and Saint for tomorrow.
I attend Saturday evening vigil Mass most of the time, as many Catholics do, and I am also a frequent lector. Before, you could bring up the Sunday reading on Saturday; now after the app change, you can’t. I’ve sent feedback several times asking them to restore the ability to see tomorrow’s reading (the day after the current day), no response.
Now, it does have a ‘read more’ link,which takes you to the US Conference of Catholic Bishops site, and there you can view readings for different days…but the problem is the USCCB site does not display well at all on an iPhone or iPad, the text does not format to the display size so you must thumb back and forth to read anything. Very disappointed, wish I had kept copy of the old version and never upgraded.
App keeps crashing every time I try to open it, same as before the update. Its just not working.
