Laudate

A Catholic reference for regular prayer

Laudate brings Catholic readings, prayers and reference texts together in one Android app. It suits people who want a daily reading or prayer close at hand, as well as those who refer to Church documents or traditional devotions. The Books & Reference app is published by Aycka Soft and has a 4.7-star rating from more than 31,000 reviews, with over one million installs.

Readings and services in one place

Use Laudate for daily Mass readings, the Order of Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours. It also includes Bible texts, a saint of the day, daily meditations and a Bible verse on the readings screen. For further study, the app provides the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Code of Canon Law, Vatican II documents and papal encyclicals.

Devotions and personal prayers

The prayer collection covers the Rosary, the Divine Mercy chaplet, Stations of the Cross and other traditional devotions, with some material available in Latin alongside English. You can bookmark prayers and make your own categorized collection in My Prayers. Laudate also supports importing and exporting those prayers, which can be useful if you want to manage the text on a computer.

Choose what fits your routine

Laudate offers content in a range of languages, including English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and several others. Its many sections may be more than you need if you only want a single daily reading; for someone who moves between readings, prayer and reference material, they offer a way to keep those routines together. Audio podcasts are available for readings and devotions, with read-along text for daily readings.
