Ratings and reviews

The app is just perfect. You can select different instruments to play, adjust the tones and speed of them and the gallery of songs is just great. All Mass propers and the Kyriale in just one app. If I could give 6 stars in a review I would definitely do it. 👍🏻

A wonderful app for learning how to do Gregorian chant. Allows you to not only see the notes being played, but also how they sound through your speakers/headphones. If you are in a choir that uses a lot of Gregorian chants or you're just curious to learn how to sing it, this is a tremendous tool to use to become familiar with this beautiful practice. My only grievance is that I wish there were more hymns from other religious orders, such as the Dominicans or Benedictines.

Quite simply the easiest app to hear and practice chant. My only comment would be to add in hymns and chants for the Office and this app would be a requirement for all Catholic music lovers. Everything is clearly laid out and the controls for playback can be fine tuned to suit needs. I recommend this to anyone preparing for a Missa Canta, or someone looking to integrate more chant into their prayer life.
