Chant Tools

The app provides much detail as you might find in the Liber Usualis. It has also just enough information for the user to understand the context each chant is supposed to be sung in. Notes are easy to read with the high quality images used. Perfect app for all Scholas.

I appreciate the hard work, and am very thankful for the chant tools. But the iOS app (both iPad and iPhone) just does not work correctly.

Chants won’t play Lack of organization Things are beyond the screen Things move when I tap them I wish this would work

This blows all the other tools out of the water. It has the most comprehensive ordinary and propers for masses, and the best psalm tool. There are some improvements I’d make- 1- have a “simple view” and “complex view” for the psalm tone tool- all we need to select is the tone, special ending/solemn, whether it shows all the verses written out or bonded/italicized, and the psalm/canticle! 2- there is an “English” version, however, none of the psalms are in English and it would require an external source to work. 3- the propers for the Novus ordo calendar don’t sync with the calendar like the traditional calendar dates do 4- having the other hours integrated into this would be so huge! That’s all for now, but thank you so much Ben! God Bless you!

It is incredibly useful, with full chants, psalm tones, Liber Brevior, and Chants Abreges options. However, playback doesn’t work for 90% of the chants. That is a killer for me as a cantor.

Fix the sound before I delete it and I’ll update my review.

The sound often stops playing and it’s very hard to get it to play again. It definitely needs debugging. If you don’t need the sound function, it’s great for showing you the chants. I haven’t tried writing any. It will also show readings (without the incipits) but not the orations- and sometimes the readings don’t end at the right place.

Great app except the playback function does not seem to work at all and most if not all of the clefs for the Gloria Patri are incorrectly placed. Other than that very good.

Just what I needed but whenever I press PLAY it doesn’t work on my iPhone nor my iPad

Good concept. However, the tone stops playing after you listen to it for a little while as the marker keeps moving. Have seen this on multiple devices and others have experienced this as well. Also unable to find proper of saints for the Novus
