I am sorry Anne Lastman is being besieged, and I also agree that apps do not seem the appropriate method of following the Liturgy of the Mass. Very suspect, actually. However, I would be lost without my Missal.

You see, I am deaf, and cannot hear what is being said, regardless of sound systems, overheads and the like. Some voices are not subject to such technology with or without the use of hearing aids.
