Review of Roman Missal app

Over on Catholic Tech Talk, you can find a review of
"The New Mass" app for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, created by Cale Clarke of The Faith Explained, that takes users through the new English translation of the Roman Missal that will be implemented Nov. 27. (OSV Newsweekly included the app in its annual Catholic Guide to the Internet.)

Here are a few reasons why Brad West of Catholic Tech Talk called it a "must-have for any Catholic":
  • Organized by breaking down the order of the Mass so it’s very easy to navigate through.
  • Each section of the Mass contains the ‘Old Text’, ‘New Text’, and an explanation of the changes in the language. So not only is the user able to get the “what” of the changes but also the most important part . . . the “why”. ...
  • Provides parishioners with another avenue other than just print material. This is an app you can read through on a lunch break and have with you during Mass to help guide you at first.
  • Young Catholics can use that iPod Touch for more than just music and games, Mom and Dad.
