After last year’s leisurely four-week Advent the hurried nature of this year’s Advent comes as a bit of a shock. Only three weeks and a day! A lot of activity has to be compressed into a small space, so please accept this short newsletter as our “Happy Advent” and “Happy Christmas” message combined.

Giving Universalis for Christmas
Posted by universalis on 13 December 2023
The easiest way to give Universalis is in the form of a Universalis registration code. A registration code really is a gift for life.
A Universalis registration code costs £19.99, which at today’s exchange rates is $24.54 or €23.30. It gives the recipient all the Mass readings for every day, forever, and all the Hours of the Liturgy of the Hours for every day, forever. There are also benefits such as the daily ‘About Today’ pages, with their stories of the saints and their illustrations. The registration code works on whatever devices your friend has – Android and iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and Mac and Windows – and also for making personal e-books.

Problems on older Apple devices: corrected!
Posted by universalis on 4 December 2023
The versions of Universalis which have been in the App Store since last week have not been working on the following old Apple devices:
- iPad Air (1st edition)
- iPad Mini 2
- iPad Mini 3
- iPhone 5S
- iPhone 6
- iPod Touch (6th edition).
The affected version of iOS is version 12 (the latest release was 12.5.7). You can check your operating system version by opening the Settings app, selecting ‘General’ and then ‘About’.
This bug was Apple’s fault but we have found a way to avoid it. We created a new update which we sent to Apple and within an hour they had accepted it into the App Store. We are grateful for their promptness.
Catholic Calendar has the same problem: please wait 24 hours, and the update to that should be available as well.
How to get the corrected version
If you sit and do nothing, the App Store will probably update you to the latest, corrected version, but it could take a day or two.
To get the corrected version at once:
- Open the App Store app.
- Search for “Universalis”.
- Tap on the heading of the entry for the Universalis app. A full-page description of the app will appear.
- At the top of the description is the version number. This should be 3.115.
- Press the button to download and install the new version.
