Magnificat English Editions

The new version is a big update and works more smoothly on the current iOS. My favorite improvements are the ability to increase the font size and the way this version shows off the beautiful Magnificat magazine cover when you open the app. Just tap on the small part of the cover image and it increases to full screen. Two of the best things about Magnificat have always been the beautiful cover and the daily meditations. (Otherwise the full version of Universalis would be an alternative to Magnificat, but it lacks these features.) I do wish this Magnificat app made the articles more visible- they are buried as one of a zillion things under "Other Features". Ah well, nothing compares to the print version.

We really have enjoyed this for a year or two but since the upgrade we can't get it because the operating system we have is 9 something . We ask to download an older version that is compatible an it promptly gives notice that it is downloading, please wait. And we wait, and we wait, and we wait. It never stops. HELP I can get it at Magnificat online. Com,and the new scroll format is great, and it appears that is what this app might show. But we are still stuck with forever downloading. Except now it stops, says error downloading, touch to retry. Retried seven times, no luck, it would be nice to get it again on the iPad. HELP Thank you for solving the problem! The new format is great! Five stars now that we can use it again!

The first thing I do every morning when I get up is go to the Magnificat morning prayers. The Magnificat is perfect those of us who do not have time for the Liturgy of the Hours but want to pray with the rest of the Church daily. I find the Magnificat prayers a perfect way to start and end my day. They are uplifting helpful, they are not too long or too short but just right. The meditations are often inspiring. It is great to have the daily Mass reading to study before Mass, when I cannot get to Mass or even after Mass sometimes when I want to revisit them. I've already subscribed to the paper addition for about 10 years and that is what I use for Mass, but the rest of the time I like use it on my iPad.

This update is worlds better than the previous version! Works quickly, user friendly, and has everything at your fingertips (can even click over and back to Canticles easily). No error messages so far, looking forward to using this more regularly. Tip: you can adjust the font size in the settings (very helpful). Old review: I love Magnificat and am so disappointed in this app. It very rarely works, I get constant error messages saying it's ready for download and after hitting Continue like 30 times it will just go back to the log in. The content is great and has good design but there has to be a way to get the app to work! Who's the patron saint of Smartphones? ;)

So, I like this new version, and though limited on time to write about all the improvements, one of the better is the ability to change the font size. The previous version you could “stretch” it open to make it larger, but then had to move the screen side to side to read the larger size. My only problem, and I sent an email to the feedback team a week ago, is when I tap on Evening Prayer, I keep getting the morning prayer for the day. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, but that didn’t fix this issue. Was curious if anyone else is having the same problem?
