UPDATE: This app has finally been fixed for me. I have been using this app for years and it has been great. The only thing that annoys me normally is that you need an Internet connection just to open the app, even if you have the day's prayers already downloaded. This is usually not a problem, but when I went to Spain I went to some backwater towns where phone signal was sparse, and this app took forever to load if it ever did at all.

Update 9/4/26: the app for the Android version has been resolved. Thank you! The app had been working fine for several years, until the most recent update which has made the app useless. There is a black bar that impedes the ability to choose the pray tab, so I have been unable to use this app for a couple of weeks now. Please fix it!
★★★★☆Nathan Hock· Aug 29, 2026
The UI bug introduced earlier this month has been fixed with the most recent update. I love Breviary when it works, but this isn't the first time a bug has made a feature or the entire app unusable.
★☆☆☆☆Weldann Panganiban (WeweTV)· Aug 11, 2026
I cannot access the main prayers of the day. The black breviary bar pushed the buttons far above, so I cannot click it.
★★☆☆☆Juanita Zagala· Aug 18, 2026
Always use this app every day but the last update made the top part (i.e. Pray and Today Buttons) unreachable hence leaving the app unusable. Hope it gets fixed
★☆☆☆☆Michael McGough· Aug 18, 2026
App is normally great but latest update makes it virtually unusable, big black banner across the top. I have uninstalled for now.
