Das Geld wert!

Ich möchte vorausschicken, dass ich anfangs auch skeptisch war, was den Preis betrifft. Allerdings bin ich nach eingehender Beschäftigung mit dem Programm und den Hintergründen seiner Entstehung und Entwicklung zum Schluss gekommen, dass Universalis sein Geld wirklich wert ist. Wer gerne täglich das Stundengebet betet, inklusive der Lesehore und den Messtexten des Tages (Lesungen und Evangelium), der wird hier alles zusammen in übersichtlicher Form für unterwegs vorfinden. Es ist doch großartig, dass man fortan all diese Schätze der Kirche auf seinem iPhone oder iPod touch mitnehmen kann. Wer im Besitz von Stunden- und Messbüchern ist, weiß wie wertvoll diese sind, sowohl der Preis als auch der Inhalt. Insofern sind knapp 26€ durchaus gerechtfertigt. Es geht ja hier nicht um ein Spiel oder einen Zeitvertreib, sondern um die Gebete der Kirche, die in Universalis mit viel Liebe und Mühe zusammengestellt worden sind. Es gibt eine kleine Einschränkung: bei den Stundengebeten fehlen Hymnen, Antiphonen und Responsorien. Das ist kein schlechter Wille des Entwicklers, bei dem ich nachgefragt habe, sondern hat mit Copyright-Einschränkungen zu tun. Doch er bemüht sich, die paar fehlenden Elemente nach Möglichkeit zu vervollständigen. Zu guter Letzt möchte ich betonen, dass die negativen Kritiken an dieser Stelle sicher nicht gut durchdacht und begründet sind. Wer das Stundenbuch für sein iPhone haben möchte (auf Englisch und mit den kleinen momentanen Einschränkungen), wird kein besseres App finden!

Needs Work

A useful app for the few who need it but it crashes when you pinch to change the text size. It is necessary to have the pinch, rotate and scroll all working to allow the user to change the text size on the small screen to make it readable. I look forward to a update to get these things working.

Useful and needed

I have used Universalis services for a number of years on different formats and I am glad that the company has made them available for the iPhone/iTouch platform. This is a program for those who need it and we will gratefully pay what is demanded. Just for the record, the printed format expands through a set of five books, $40 each in most editorials. You calculate. I have used it for the past two weeks and I am not disappointed. I had no crashes even though I found browsing through long text a bit slow. Today I downloaded a new update that seems to address this and other minor glitches that are typical of v. 1.00. I havent tested yet. I respect the individuals who wrote some of the negative (no technical) reviews, but not their opinions. Because they write from the ignorance of someone who does not know what this program does for those of us who need it. Theres no place in iTunes reviews for such misleading rigidity. Kudos for Universalis. I look forward for future updates and revisions.

Great app!!

I use it all the time. All thats missing would be the responsorial psalm for the mass and the antiphon for each of the prayer psalms in the divine office and it would be set.

Excellent

A lot of content, worth every penny. No crashed, text sizing and position sensing work well.

Need Psalms added

This is a great application. I would give it 5 stars if the Psalms for the daily Readings at Mass were added. That way the application would be completely self contained.
