Introduction

If you are looking for an iPhone and iPad app that enables access to a Roman Missal at the convenience of your fingertips, iMissal Catholic is the perfect one for you. Granted an official Imprimatur by the Catholic Church, this mass readings app is fully approved for use.

At the reasonable cost of $4.99, one might think twice before purchasing an app for mass on the expensive side like this one, but if you consider the costs of a hard copy of the Missal, then you will see that iMissal is worth the price and has far more to offer than a printed version.

A lot of people say iMissal is a great replacement for paper bible in their catholic app review on iTunes, but is that really true?
