Has basic bible and some stuff for free but by registering with them you can access lots more. If you have Logos 4 then all your books in your digital library through Logos are also available.

Wooji Presentation Remote – $7.99. I beta test this app but I also purchased it. Apple’s keynote remote is a buck, but this app blows it out of the water, and works with Keynote 08. If you present regularly with a screen, this is well worth it. The highlight feature alone is worth the price.

If you need a free Hebrew Bible, iTehillim (Psalms in Hebrew, with vowels, and English below) and Torah (Hebrew only, vowels included, no verse numbers) are available. I have been unable to locate any Greek Testaments.

KJV Bible Audiobook from iTourSoftware is big, but not bad. It takes a while to download. It contains both print and audio and is easy to search. It has ads which generate funding for children’s charities and for development of the app.

For Advent, there is an advent calendar which gives you the Divine Office for the day: Advent08 from iHabitus, costing 115 Japanese yen (I would guess it is a 99c app). There is also a nice realistic (photo) free Advent wreath to light: Adventskranz.

We created the Divine Office iPhone App to make it more convenient to stay up to date with our audio podcast and to pray while offline.

The app will automatically download today’s audio Liturgy as well as the next few days to your iPhone or iPod Touch over-the-air using your wireless connection – without iTunes synchronization – so you never need to connect to a computer for updates!

If the complete Liturgy of the Hours is too much for you you can get started with one of our Lite apps, which are Lauds (Morning Prayer), Vespers (Evening Prayer) and Compline (Night Prayer).

We also created an app named “Prayers” which is a multi-language easy to use reference to Catholic common prayers. It also includes the Rosary, Litanies, the Way of The Cross and a total of over 100 other popular prayers and Novenas.

All our apps work great with all iPod Touch and iPhone models.

All these apps but the main Divine Office app are free this week end only!

iPieta — this is a great reference to the bible and early writings of the church. I find it interesting to just browse and search.

Universalis — Liturgy of the Hours text. It uses different translations for some things so I use it mostly to compare against our own ministry apps, but if I didn’t have our apps then I would use this for praying the Liturgy of the Hours when I didn’t have the books or was not in community.

OK, this is going to sound like a commercial for the apps our ministry produces, but our real mission is to grow our community in prayer and our apps are all in support of that mission. So please pardon this commercial

Divine Office — audio Liturgy of the Hours for the major hours every day
Morning Prayer (Lauds) — only the morning prayers each day
Evening Prayer (Vespers) — only the evening prayers
Night Prayer (Compline) — only night prayer

All of our apps are free this weekend, except Divine Office, because we are asking that people get them and leave us a good review to help our ministry’s visibility. We are also giving away a few free iPod Touches for people who leave us reviews.

The main app is Divine Office, it is normally $9.99 USD, but it is $2.99 USD this weekend for the same reason.

Prayers is a database of 100 prayers in English, Latin, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. This app is normally 99 cents, but is free this weekend.

The Divine Office is normally $9.99, but this weekend it $2.99 because we are asking for people who get it to leave us a good review to help our ministry’s visibility.

None of these apps require you to be on-line to use them, but the audio does need at least 20 minutes per week to get its updates.

Universalis is basically the complete 4 volume Liturgy of the Hours on your ipod. GOOD: no internet connection required. BAD: $30 is steep for an app. It is not the icel translation making group prayer difficult and its easy to get tripped up in the ordinary (when I have the other version memorized).

iPieta An amazing resource of prayers and devotions, and I believe it has some of the old catechisms in there. I think it was like $5 bucks.

iBCP Book of Common Prayer app (unofficial). It basically just the text with hyper links. I also got a very inexpensive BCP on the Amazon Kindle app with the same functionality which was legit.

1. iBreviary – $0.99 as of this summer. Needs the Internet to sync, downloading the five hours of the day in one shot. GOOD: To my knowledge, this is the only app which offers the official text also found in the liturgical volumes themselves. Contains all antiphons and Canticles appropriate to the day. Sometimes includes a hymn depending upon copyright. BAD: Defaults to optional feasts automatically, which can make praying in groups a problem. Over six months of near-daily use, I’ve also noticed 2-3 occasions where one or more hours were not accessible on the server.

2. RC Calendar – Free when I downloaded it. Does not require the Internet for daily use. A simple utility which helps me keep track of planning my future months.

I have yet to find a decent Bible app. I take notes on the OEM “Notes” pad, because I keep my life in OneNote, and am waiting for an application that utilizes Office 2010’s ability to make OneNote files accessible through Windows Live.

NOTES:
Evernote for notes – this syncs with my desktop and I can access images, voice recordings, and text. On the desktop you can write directly in the program or drop a .pdf into the note for free. Premium users can also add other file formats. GREAT for on the go. Can tag all of my travel related notes “travel” so when I go to my conference I can pull my hotel, flight and other notes together.

Great archive for sermons and exegesis as well. Also, on the desktop version I can make certain notebooks public, like my worship design notes, and send the links to my musicians so they can make sure they’re on the same page.

I have also dropped a few of my standard liturgy files and prayers in case I find myself in need of a Book of Worship and all I have is my iPhone.

Have not yet done this but considered it: pull parishioner info into a private notebook so when I’m visiting I can see notes from previous visits (names of children/grandchildren, important facts to remember, and possibly even a picture if need be) so that it is fresh in my mind.

TO DO LIST:
I use remember the milk – I’ve saved it to my homepage so I actually access it through the safari browser (works with an iphone best because it would require connectivity). They also offer an actual app if you’re a premium user. I will upgrade one of these days for sure, but for now free is working.

BIBLE STUDY:
Not really for study prep, but a great app to have so the Bible is always at your finger tips is “You Version” the Bible app from lifechurch.tv. Uses biblegateway.com scripture version options, so no NRSV. Can download a couple of English versions for off-line connectivity, but best with connected. Useful for impromptu hospital visits or when standing in line/waiting and one wants to simply read scripture. They also have a way to make notes, but I haven’t used that or looked at the comments others have offered.
