Give Us This Day

I wish it was possible to click on a date scroll through page by page. Instead each section is separated and you have to go back to the calendar again and again to open the menu and see the next item for the day. It would also be helpful if there was a “Today” button somewhere obvious so you could quickly go to the correct date. I love that every time I return to the app I see the cover with its beautiful image and just tap it to return to where I was reading. Overall it is a great app and really nice way to read the daily readings. I usually appreciate the reflection. The daily saint is often good too—I like that the net is cast wide to include those who are not officially “saints” and includes those outside the church. This is very important to me. I’d like to see more inclusion.

After more than 10 attempts, including powering off my iPad- the app has crashed each time. Time to cancel subscription, ad this problem had been reported & not resolved.

I purchased my subscription from the App Store. It worked until it did not. My credentials failed and the App Developers refused to support trying say the issue was with Apple App Store. Not just incorrect, but a lie. Then they simply stopped responding. Trash developers.

Sadly, this seems to be the only Catholic liturgical app that includes the Introduction Antiphon, Collect, and other Mass readings. All other “Catholic” apps just jump to the First, Psalm, and Gospel readings (as if that was all the liturgy involved)! Very sad of other apps. That said, the Give Us this Day app is BROKEN and it’s IT department, as friendly as they are, can’t help you fix a broken app (broken and non-functioning on different phones). It’s broken and only gets updated annually (at beast). Do not recommend, specially since you have to pay for an annual subscription.

I like the convenience of the daily readings at my fingertips. If I had any complaints it would be the occasional ‘need to login’ every couple of months even though the subscription is up to date. Also there have been times where the app quits for no reason. Usually it takes about a day then it’s working fine again.

I paid for a year’s subscription to this app but was kicked off after a month or so. I assume this is a glitch but the publisher has not replied to my queries and the support link for the product in the App Store is dead.

Purchased annual digital access for $19.99 through Apple Store after viewing for 30 days free. Since purchasing I have been unable to access the app content. Message over grayed out screen says “free trial expired - subscribe now”. Tried contacting GUTD Tech support dept. via email, and also contacted by phone and was told I don’t show up on their records and I have to work with Apple for access/support/refund. Crazy! Figured out how to turn off the automatic renewal, but I’m still out $19.99 for access I was supposed to have until 09/21/2021.

No stars. After your subscription has ended you should be able to access what you already paid for. I have another prayer app that does this.

Does not allow me into app even after I sign up for monthly subscription. Very user unfriendly.

Two major improvements with this latest update is giving more screen real-estate to the texts of the liturgy rather than menu space. Second, I like that if you now close this app and to to another, when you return it will go to where you were before. I would like to see higher resolution images. I use an iPad Pro 12” and the images are a bit blurry for my large screen. All in all, a fine update.
