User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★☆Very good
I have said elsewhere that unfortunately, using the 1908 GR is complicated. Even between my 1936 Latin LU and a 1950s LU 800 or 802/4 (one of those numbers is the English version of 800) I note critical differences, such as replacing dots with the episema.
But, this is very good. I’m still wondering why the Marian antiphons are not separated from other Marian chants. And it would be helpful to have the Benedicamus Domino for the Masses which have them. Even the PCED Ordo indicates it is to be
★★★★★A very helpful app
This is a very helpful app, especially for not so musically inclined people such as myself. I do have one request. There was an app called iChant that was rendered useless by the latest iOS update. It was basically like a little keyboard except for Gregorian chant. You press the note and you hear what the note should sound like. Could such a feature be added to this app? It would really put this app over the top.
★★★★☆Great App but please add Jubilate Deo Sequence
This is a great app. I am a beginner and I know other beginners who are discovering this wonderful app. For us beginners I would request you add the “beginners compilation” - the Jubilate Deo compilation issued in 1975. Yes there is a great deal of it in your Kyriale and Other Chants but not all of it and not in one place on the app. If you did you might have the distinction of doing more to further the goal of the Jubilate Deo than anyone else in over 40 years!
★★★★☆Good but we want more!
This app is great for what it has, and that’s a lot already!
It needs (in my opinion) more content such as chants from the breviary (Roman Breviary hymns, etc.). There are no apps out there now (that I know of) that have the Breviary Hymns in chant notation with such a smooth playback feature as that in this app.
Keep up the good work.
★★★★☆Great, but missing a whole season???
I love this app! It’s so useful for someone like me who needs the practice and sometimes is without my Liber and a cantor to direct the pitch. I love the simple chants additions as well!
However, the whole Epiphany season is missing? The 4-6 Sundays following Epiphany, and the three Sundays leading up to Ash Wednesday are absent. Not sure why, but it’s happened before that something is missing or out of order compared to my Liber Brevoir. That aside, the app is fantastic.
