The short version

Praying the Liturgy of the Hours gets much easier when the app knows which hour it is and a narrator leads you through Morning Prayer or Compline. With approved texts and 4.9 stars from over 8,000 users, this is the best place to start with the Hours.

8,253 ratings at a 4.9 average puts this in rarefied territory, and it's exactly what you'd expect from an app that's been the go-to Divine Office resource for over a decade. Surgeworks built this thing to disappear into the background of your prayer life rather than get in the way of it: it just knows what office you should be praying at any given moment and pulls up the correct text automatically. The audio option is the real differentiator versus just reading a breviary text online. Having a narrator lead you through Morning Prayer or Compline turns it into something you can do half-asleep or while making coffee, rather than requiring you to sit and read. The community-presence feature, seeing dots on a map representing others praying the same hour right now, is a small touch but genuinely does something for the sense that the Liturgy of the Hours is public prayer, not private devotion. USCCB approval matters here too. A lot of breviary apps operate in a legal gray area with copyrighted text; this one is squared away. If you've been wanting to start praying the Hours and didn't know where to begin, this is the app to start with.

What we like

  • Audio narration for the hours
  • Opens to the correct hour automatically
  • USCCB-approved texts
  • See others praying the same hour
  • 4.9 stars from over 8,000 ratings

What could be better

  • Focused only on the Liturgy of the Hours
  • The Hours themselves take time to learn

    You can’t copyright the Bible?
