and I’m getting a cell phone, and not only a cell phone, but a smart phone!!!

I would love to know what apps people use on their smart phones to do rosary, LOTH etc. And where to get them and if they cost, how much.

I’m very excited, my new phone should be here today and I can’t wait to play with it!!

So tell me about your favorite apps!!

If you get an Android phone, search for an app called “Laudate” (it was previously called “Catholic One”, so you can search for that as well). It has pretty much everything you could hope for:
  • Daily readings
  • Liturgy of the Hours
  • Prayers (both English and Latin)
  • Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy
  • An “Examination of Conscience” script to help with Confession
  • Stations of the Cross
  • Catechism
  • NAB and DH Bibles
  • Links to other Catholic media
It is, by far, the BEST app for Android out there – and it’s free!!!

God bless,

I also use this, and it is awesome to have! Definitely highly recommended!
But also note that it is for Android phones only, so if you get an Apple iPhone, you won’t be able to get it. I personally don’t like Apple as a company and won’t buy their products (plus there are certain aspects of their products I don’t like too) so I can’t tell you what apps are good for the iPhone.
 
I have an iPhone and use iPieta and BrevMeum. iPieta has so much on it for spiritual reading and prayers, and BrevMeum has the 1962 era Breviary.
 
well this aint something Catholic, buuuut, download temple run, such a run game that can get addicting at times :rolleyes:
 
I like the Divine Office app for LOTH. I also keep recordings of the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet on my smartphone in case I feel like praying along.
 
I use Laudate every day for Daily Readings. It includes Don Schwager’s beautiful meditations.
 
Laudate is the best. I use it every day. Also, I use the free Kindle app and very cheaply bought the book The Imitation of Christ by Thomas A. Kempis. A great book to read a chapter and reflect, when you get some down time during the day. I no longer mind waiting in line!
 
The only Catholic apps I have used regularly are the “MP3 Catholic” series of audio recordings. For every installment there is a free sample version and a full version for maybe $5 (I don’t remember). They are worth every penny, because I’ve used the apps maybe 200 times now. The ones I have are “MP3 Catholic Teaching” which contain recordings from the writing of the saints on every sort of subject, and “MP3 Catholic Courses” which contain recorded lectures from Catholic college courses.

The other apps are nice to play around with, but I haven’t found them personally useful.
 
Before you buy a cell phone, which you’ll probably be locked into a contract with, do some research and be certain that the coverage in your area is good and solid.

My cell phone worked when I purchased it a couple years ago, now there is now coverage in the center of town or at my house.

I have a year left on the contract and I’m going to switch companies and probably just go with a pay as you go phone.

I love the Imatation of Christ. I had my teens read it with me every Sunday through Lent. I really makes me try hard 🙂
 
My phone is an HTC Rezound.
I had to go with Verizon because it’s the only service that works here in the desert where I live.
The phone is charging right now, can’t wait to activate it!
I’m actually getting rid of my land line, the first time ever I’ll be without a home phone.

So I’m pretty excited. 🙂

I can’t wait to put some apps on it! I had a cell phone a long time ago, but it didn’t do anything but make calls and they were pricey. This is unlimited minutes for phone and texting.

So please share your favorites, don’t have to be religious necessarily!

Love new toys!! 🙂
 
Oh, I’m so excited, this is so cool! I’m downloading Laudate as I speak!

There’s one game I want where you draw a picture and send it to a friend, it’s fun.

I will finish Laudate download tonight and then worry about more tomorrow!

Thanks for your suggestions!
 
I have Laudete on my iPad. But the best Catholic Ap ever is iPieta. Best $3 I ever spent!

Second best is not a Catholic App, but a journal app that I use when I am praying and any other number of places. It is password protected and has different tabs for each “area” (spiritual, work, scouts, home, etc)
