Original release notes

Your day, on your home screen.

WIDGETS
Ora now comes with six widgets you can add to your home screen and lock screen:
• Daily Readings — today's Mass readings, with an excerpt from the Gospel
• Verse of the Day — a Bible verse every morning
• Saint of the Day — meet the saint celebrated today
• Mysteries of the Day — today's Rosary mysteries
• Daily Mysteries List — all five mysteries at a glance
• Liturgical Day — today's celebration and liturgical color

They follow your app language, adapt to light and dark themes, and refresh on their own each day. Tap any widget to open that content in the app.

• Share an explanation or an answer with anyone, straight from the system share sheet.

READ ALOUD
