## Description

Offline Mass Propers
This app is an offline version of the chant tools available at http://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/

It is mostly intended to be useful for containing the Gregorian Mass propers as well as the Gregorian Mass ordinaries as found in the Liber Usualis, and transcribed on GregoBase (http://gregobase.selapa.net) and there may be some mistakes in the chant.  If you notice any, they can be corrected in GregoBase (if you go to http://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/propers.html and find the chant with the mistake, you can click the link above the chant on the left side to get to the GregoBase version of the chant, and edit it there to fix it, or request that it be fixed.)

## Review summary

Pros: the app offers a very comprehensive Gregorian chant library (ordinary/propers, psalm tones, Liber Brevior, Chants Abreges), strong psalm tools, and useful workflow features like day-by-day chants and exporting .gabc files for LaTeX. Cons: audio playback is unreliable across devices, UI stability issues hinder use, and there are content gaps (English psalms, Novus Ordo calendar sync, saints). Overall, a valuable chant tool when audio and UI issues are addressed.

### Pros

- Extremely comprehensive Gregorian chant library including ordinary, propers, psalm tones, Liber Brevior, and Chants Abreges.
- Strong psalm tool support and related liturgical resources.
- Daily chant generation with export options (e.g., .gabc files for LaTeX), enabling easy workflow integration.
- Generally very useful for cantors and Gregorian chant work.

### Cons

- Audio playback is unreliable or nonfunctional across iOS devices (chants won’t play, stop, or are inconsistent).
- UI glitches and instability on iOS (elements misbehave, navigation issues, things move or go off-screen).
- Content gaps: English psalms not available; Novus Ordo calendar propers not syncing; limited saint selections for Novus.
