How do you folks get these apps? Search iTune? Sorry, I just got an iPod 4 as a gift & don’t even know how to use it. This old man has built 6 computers, but doesn’t know how to use iPod or a cell phone for that matter.lol:blush:

Yes, you can search iTunes for “Divine Office”. You can also search simply “Catholic”.

On the device itself, open the app store (should be an icon). On there, you can search and then download directly to the device (you log into your iTunes account on your phone). It is immediately available on the phone/iPod, so you do not need to sync before using it.

Thanks, I once saw a book titled “My iPod Touch” that was probably 5 to 6 times larger than the owners manual itself. I think I find & buy that.

This will work just fine if you have wifi. Otherwise, the app is too big and you’ll have to connect to a pc.

I pray the liturgy of the hours and i was trying to show a friend of mine how to use it. When he said to me that he didnt need to learn how to use it or that he didnt even have to buy the book either because he can just get a phone app for it and it does it all for you.I didnt know what to say. So i guess theres no need for the actual books anymore ? I do prefer the book, because it just seems like more hands on.I tend to think that people who only use the phone apps might have a hard time using the book if their phone wasnt with them. Anyone have an opinion on this ?

Books don’t use batteries 👍

With your talents, Like, you could probably build a better one. 🙂

Good points. And how do you get a phone app blessed?

Holy water voids the warranty. You could do this but then you would have to go to confession.

Yeah, I’m taking you to task for that. 🙂

I find the audio version of the Divine Office Liturgy of the Hours really helpful. It also includes sung hymns, so I get a chance to learn Catholic hymns.

I do listen to psp.libsyn.com/ on occasion. Good point about the hymns, something I need to learn more. Good point! 👍

If you have an Android phone I highly recommend an app called Catholic One. It’s free and it has:

Daily Readings
Liturgy of Hours
Rosary
Stations of the Cross
Prayers
Latin Prayers
Holy Bible
and the Catechism

Very nice and handy. I always have that phone with me for work etc, so I can read at lunch, pray when I get a few private moments, etc.
