I’m looking for some good Catholic apps for my smartphone. What are your favorites and why?
 
Aside from the novenas, chaplets, and Rosary I like the Fulton Sheen app. There’s also the Magnificat, Ibreviary, laudate, and various Bible apps (Verbum). I also like being reminded to pray the Angelus.
 
On my Android OS, these are apps I can’t live without:

Saint A Day: While there are other apps around saints, Saint A Day have the stories nicely summarized with most relevant facts, easy to digest daily in the morning. I use it everyday.

Laudate. Probably the most complete app. It is where I learnt to play the rosary by myself, there are some nice and interactive rosaries. Also full of prayers, reading of the day, reflections, catechism, station of the cross, liturgy of the hours, … it is a kind of overwhelming app because you can find everything there 😃

Confesion: A Roman Catholic App Good to exam of conscience and remember last confession date.

iBreviary: Because of Laudate I never gave a chance to this app. However, it is more compact and focused, and it appears to have better usability and user experience than Laudate. I shall give a try.
 
I absolutely love the Truth & Life Dramatized Audio Bible app. Best $20 I’ve ever spent. There’s a free version, too, that only contains the audio for the book of Mark. I’m not sure if this is iOS only, or if it’s on android as well.
 
Laudate. We use it every day.

The best free Catholic app out there that I am aware of.
 
I use LCM Bible. It is a free RSV-2CE Bible and it seems easy enough to use.

ETA: some additional features like audio need to be bought.
 
My husband and i like The pope app. You get news from the Vatican and can watch live feeds.
 
Laudate
Lighthouse Catholic Media Bible App
Jerusalem Bible (OT & NT in separate apps)
Relevant Radio App
EWTN App
Vatican Radio App

(all the above are free - I’m a cheapskate, so have no idea on how functional apps that you have to spend money for are).
 
The divineoffice.org app, hands down. It’s not free, but it’s worth every penny for praying the Liturgy of the Hours when having your breviary with you isn’t possible/convenient.
 
On my iPhone I like:
Universalis (has everything for daily Mass, has stories about the saints of the day, it does not use the internet)
MeaCulpa Pro (a wonderful Confession guide app and it saves the date of your last Confession)
iPieta (has the pre-VII calendar and the new one, has most if not all of the Church Father writings found here ccel.org/fathers.html without having to use the internet, has many traditional Roman Catholic prayers, has the Clementine Vulgate and the Douay-Rheims and you can read them side by side).
Mass Times (it uses your current or manually entered location to show the closest Catholic parishes to you and tell you their Mass times and Confession times)
economikon (a Melkite app that provides daily Divine Liturgy readings, hymns, and Melkite Saints of the day)
 
Verbum, definitely. It’s free and has a ton of free books and bible functionality. I also dig on Universalis.

Welcome to CAF!

Anyone know if there are apps that have:
  1. The Office of the 12 Our Fathers
  2. A “listen to” Lauds and Vespers?
