Our Review

iPieta is a deep Catholic reference library from iVerbum — Bibles, catechisms, papal documents, prayers, the writings of saints and Doctors, and a liturgical calendar, all on your phone and all working offline.

You get the Douay-Rheims Bible and the Clementine Vulgate, the Roman Catechism, the Catechism of St. Pius X, the Baltimore Catechism, the Summa Theologiae of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Imitation of Christ, the writings of St. Alphonsus and St. Francis de Sales, a wide selection of papal encyclicals, the lives of the saints, traditional Latin prayers, and a perpetual calendar that uses the 1962 Roman Calendar. Search runs across the whole library at once.

What sets iPieta apart is the depth and the orientation. This is a library built for Catholics who want the traditional sources — the older catechisms, the Latin Bible, the pre-Vatican-II calendar, the spiritual classics. It treats you like an adult who wants to read St. Thomas without having him paraphrased. The offline functionality is genuinely complete — load it once and you have a small Catholic patrimony in your pocket on a plane.

A natural fit for adult Catholics serious about formation, anyone drawn to the traditional Latin Mass, seminarians, catechists, RCIA teachers who want primary sources within reach, and people preparing for confession who want the older examination-of-conscience prompts. Apologists will love having the Summa searchable.

The interface is utilitarian. iPieta is built by a small developer and it shows — the layout is dense, the typography is plain, and you have to know what you are looking for. This is not a daily-meditation app or a prayer-journal app. It is a library, and you have to want a library. The 1962 calendar is a feature for traditional Catholics and a potential confusion for anyone expecting the current Roman Calendar.

Free. By iVerbum. Available on the App Store: iPieta. One of the most substantial Catholic reference apps on the store, with a serious traditional bent.
