Daily Readings – INRI

A few minutes with the day's Scripture can steady a whole day, especially for people who rarely get a quiet hour. Daily Readings INRI gives you the day's Mass readings in several languages, including English, Spanish, French, Italian and Tagalog. That makes it especially useful for multilingual families and parishes, where grandparents, parents and children may each prefer a different language.

What it does well

The layout is clean and easy to read, and the app is built for people with little time: busy parents, grandparents and students who want a few minutes with Scripture each day. It sticks to the readings rather than adding reflections or a prayer library. Users clearly appreciate that focus, giving it a 4.9 rating from more than 250 reviews. It is free, with a one-time $1.99 purchase to remove ads.

Things to know

The main caveat is age. Daily Readings INRI hasn't been updated since 2019. A readings app depends on the calendar being right year after year, so it is worth checking the readings against your parish or another source now and then. Older apps can also look dated or misbehave on newer iPhones.

The other limit is scope. If you want reflections on the readings, audio or the Liturgy of the Hours, you will need a different app. This one does the readings and nothing else.

It suits multilingual households, Filipino Catholics who want the readings in Tagalog, parishes that serve several language communities, and anyone who wants a simple daily habit with Scripture. Catechists who teach in more than one language may also find it handy.

The verdict: Daily Readings INRI is a clean, well-loved way to keep the day's readings on your phone in several languages. Because it hasn't been updated since 2019, keep an eye on accuracy and have a backup ready if it starts to falter.
