Pros and cons of Saint of the Day app for iPhone and iPad

Saint of the Day app good for

It would be made all the better with the addition of prayers to saints under their patronage. And better still with the addition of images of saints such as one finds on prayer cards. Would also be improved by not requiring an internet connection Certainly the nicest looking saint app. Well written with much less hagiography than the other saint a day app
Very good app but it would be nice if the comment or quote portion at the bottom could also be copied.
Please make it possible to make a bigger print. I have poor eyesight, so I find it extremely hard to read it

Some bad moments

I used to love this app, but it hasnt worked for ages. I have been waiting for an update to fix the problem but it hasnt come. The app comes up and all I get is "Franciscan Media, Live in love, Grow in faith, Syncing Saints..." and a little circle going round and round and round. It has been like this for months. I think you will be upset if you buy an app that doesnt work! (I write this in the hope of prompting Franciscan Media to either fix the app so I can use it or withdraw it so I will stop waiting.)
I love this app that allows me to listen to short bios of the saints each day. If I want more, the text contains even more info! I can share the daily bios on my social networks and even find more resources if I want them. Well done.
Great app. Thought it might never be updated so the new version is a blessing; thank you. In a future tweak, please provide a way for a choice of larger font sizes to be applied. Present font is very small and light and difficult to read.
Could use a little more meat in the bios and maybe some quotes please :)
Give me The old version. Im all about updating what your new version takes away the character of the foundation of the program.
Thanks be to God youre back! For a long time SOD kept crashing on my IPad, and I really have missed it. The new version is great - just one suggestion: could you darken a little more the text to make for easier reading- especially for older eyes? Peace and blessings - and thanks again for this important ministry! Dennis Berry, ST
