Pros and cons of The New Mass app for iPhone and iPad

The New Mass app good for

Handy app for learning the revised interpretation of the Mass. Easy to follow format.

Good way of understanding the changes. My only suggestion is that you PLEASE show the changed portions in bold or italics like the USCCB site does.

Considering the final text of the new missal has been approved, this app deserves an update, particularly the Nicene Creed. Concerning the new missal, I for one am looking forward to November 27, 2011!

I like how the old is along with the new (to-come) prayers! This will help this coming Advent. God Bless.

This is perfect for every Catholic. Love the format and how easy it is to use. Thanks Cale!

I believe that this application will prove to be extremely beneficial in the coming months leading up to the change in the Mass as well as those following the change. I have presented it to my Spiritual Director who is anxious to share it with the whole parish. The only thing I would change is the format, he manner in which it is laird out can be confusing at first.

Some bad moments

I wouldnt waste your time on this app. Although it does have pretty much all the new translations of the mass. The descriptions of the reasons why they were changed are ridiculous and a half of them dont even address the changes that you just saw. An amateur did this and Im sure his heart was in the right place but he needs to learn The New Mass and he needs to leave that reasoning and explanations to the professionals.

After reading the advertisement, I inferred (wrongly) that this app would not only provide the new responses for the New Roman Missal, but also (at least) some of the rubrics that the priests use. Also, the "theological" explanations for the changes are woefully insufficient.

This is pure junk. Any simple Mass card in your Church will be far better than this. It advertises far more than it gives. Its immoral to charge so much for so little. No stars.
