Liturgia de las Horas App
Pray the Liturgy of the Hours every day from a simple iPhone and iPad app, with a calendar, shortcuts to each hour and read-aloud. The prayers are in Spanish.
The app is a native wrapper around liturgiadelashoras.github.io: the liturgical text belongs to that site, and the app adds the navigation, the calendar and the read-aloud.

Main features
Today's prayers are saved as soon as you open the app, so you can pray them with no signal. Pages you visit are kept too, and you can clear them whenever you like.
Pick a month and year to open any day of the liturgy, or jump back to today with one tap.
Lauds, Vespers and Compline for the day, with nothing in between. Swipe to move from one to the next.
One tap to listen, another to pause; it picks up where it left off. It keeps playing in the background, with controls on the lock screen.
The prayer being read is highlighted, and the screen follows along, keeping it gently centred.
Black background and cream text for praying at night, following the system setting. The typeface can be the site's own, Palatino or New York.
