Saints4U

Saints4U, presented by MyCatholicSource.com, is a handy tool for quickly locating patron saints, saint names & feast days. With over 6,400 listings, including 1,000+ patronages, it's easy to find patron saints, feasts, baby names, baptismal & confirmation names. Search for male or female saint names, feasts falling on particular days or months, patronages, liturgical feasts, and more... Great for those times when you'd prefer not to wade through an entire encyclopedia (or fill up your device with one) to locate a patron saint, feast day, or saint name!

Features: (v. 1.01)

* View & Search Listings For: Patron Saints, Liturgical Feasts (Both Traditional & New Calendars), Other Feasts (Roman Martyrology)

* Contains Well Over 6,000 Quick Entries!

* Two Convenient Search Options:

» Quick Search: Search quickly through thousands of records for keyword(s) of your choice

» Advanced Search: Perform more complex queries [Note: Includes options to limit results based on gender, patronage, attribute, record type, calendar (traditional or new), etc. as well as options to choose query type (e.g. 'starts with', 'contains', and 'equals')]

* Handy A-Z Index

* Quick, Easy-To-Use Interface

* Offline Content!

* Unlike some alternatives that focus on secular sources, Saints4U relies on Catholic sources - including the pre-1970 Roman Martyrology & the General Roman Calendar!

* Small 'footprint' - unlike some encyclopedia type apps, Saints 4 U is a relatively small sized app

* In-App E-Mail

* In-App Help

* Links For Additional Resources

Uses:

* Naming Babies

"Let them give to boys the names of male saints and to girls those of women saints as right order requires..." (17th century rubric / Bourges)

* Choosing Baptismal Name

"The name of a saint is given in Baptism in order that the person baptized may imitate his virtues and have him for a protector." (Baltimore Catechism)

* Choosing Confirmation Name

"The practice of adopting a new name was not limited to baptism. Many medieval examples show that any notable change of condition, especially in the spiritual order, was often accompanied by the reception of a new name." (Catholic Encyclopedia)

* Locating Patron Saints

"It is God's will that the saints should be our protectors and our friends... They are always ready to come to our aid when we call upon them" (St. John Vianney)

* Locating Feast Days

"A feast not only commemorates an event or person, but also serves to excite the spiritual life by reminding us of the event it commemorates..." (Catholic Encyclopedia)

* Celebrate More Catholic Feasts

"In the course of the liturgical year, besides the mysteries of Jesus Christ, the feasts of the saints are celebrated. Even though these feasts are of a lower and subordinate order, the Church always strives to put before the faithful examples of sanctity in order to move them to cultivate in themselves the virtues of the divine Redeemer." (Pope Pius XII)

* Discover Saints To Learn About & Venerate

"Those who seek to perfect themselves in every aspect of virtue should look to the lives of the saints, which are like living and breathing works of art, and thus by imitation try to reproduce their virtues in their own life." (St. Basil the Great, Doctor of the Church)

With this app you can perform many searches. For example, you can...

* Enter your birthday, anniversary, etc. to see what feasts fall on your special days

* Enter 'cancer' for patron saints for cancer sufferers

* Enter 'medical' for patron saints for various medical conditions

* Enter 'Mary' for saints & feast days that include the word 'Mary'

* Enter 'Joseph' for saints & feast days that include the word 'Joseph'

* Enter 'December' for feasts falling in December [including liturgical feasts (traditional & new) and martyrology/other feasts]

* Enter today's date to see what's on today's (traditional and/or new) liturgical calendar

* Enter applicable criteria to list patron saints whose names start with the letter 'A', contain the letters 'ca', or whose patronage covers the category 'Occupations / Industries'...

* Etc.

Note: You can also use the 'Limit To' buttons on the Advanced Search screen to limit results to male or female (e.g. female saints with patronage over medical conditions, male saints whose feast days fall on a given date or in a given month, male or female saints whose name starts with letter 'B', etc.)

* * *

Some Limitations & Notes:

* This app is NOT an encyclopedia - it contains information like that displayed in the applicable screenshots. For additional detail concerning saints, try the links provided in the app.

* Saints canonized more recently, added to the liturgical calendar more recently (e.g. after source materials were printed), made patrons more recently, or saints not included in the pre-1970 Roman Martyrology index may not be included in the Saints4U database.

* The 'last/final' Saints4U database update was made in 2011. No future updates are planned to the database.

* Gender is not available for all saints. [Note: Close to 90% of records contain male or female identification, the remaining (roughly 10% of) records are identified as 'unspecified'.]

* This app contains three (3) types of records: patron saints, liturgical feasts (old & new calendars), and other feasts/martyrology. Although some of the content will necessarily be duplicative (e.g. feasts from the martyrology may also appear in the liturgical calendar, feasts from the old calendar may also appear in the new), this does NOT mean the records themselves are duplicates. Rather, each record stands alone for each record type (note the different icons associated w/each record type). Please note that while some records may contain some duplicative data - they are NOT actually duplicates. If we were to remove supposed 'duplicates', the app could no longer provide complete listings for each record type.

* Also see Terms of Use (click here).

Some Requirements / Recommendations...*

* Android Platform/Minimum: 2.2 (Froyo/API Level 8)

* Touch Screen (recommended / required)

* Dark Theme (recommended / required)

* One Directional/Portrait Orientation (recommended / required)

* Standard fonts/font sizes may be recommended. App may not display properly / function properly / appear optimally with other fonts or font sizes.

* Designed for hand-held devices in a single-user environment. Small/very small and very large screen sizes may not be recommended. Note that if a device's screen is 'too small', certain elements may not display or may be truncated, items may be difficult to read/use, and/or various aspects may not be functional. Appearance may be sub-optimal on larger screens. [Please Note: We may not be able to prevent sales to small/very small/very large devices. Therefore, you might want to consider making your purchase on a platform where the app can be sampled first or returned later if it is not suitable for your device.]

* To send e-mail, a valid e-mail account existing on your device and an Internet connection are required.

* For search queries with many results, more modern/powerful devices may be recommended. [Note: It is not recommended to perform searches that return excessive results (e.g. thousands of records). Doing so, especially in combination with use of the 'fast scroller', could result in the app becoming unresponsive. Note that the app does quite a bit of 'behind the scenes' processing to display the correct image & text for each individual record. If thousands of records are 'fast scrolled', the device is forced to do a lot of work to keep up the display and some devices (particularly older, less powerful devices) may have difficulty performing the updates in a timely manner. If so, the app may become unresponsive. To avoid this, perform narrower searches (e.g. searches containing at least three or more letters) and close other memory intensive apps.]

Speedy Dial!

Speedy Dial! is your convenient speed dial alternative. It features...

* Fast one touch dialing for up to 48 numbers

* Three 'easy-use' dialing screens with 16 speed dials per screen

* Customizable buttons - view your custom names & phone numbers directly on buttons

* Changeable button colors - if desired, the button color of each speed dial may be changed individually (colors include: blue, green, orange, pink, purple, aqua, red, yellow, gray, and more...up to 50 color choices are presently available)

* Color override option - quickly set all speed dial buttons on a panel to a single color

* Easy, convenient input of names and phone numbers - including option to quickly retrieve name & phone numbers from contacts

* Fast setup - For data found in contacts, it is possible to set up a speed dial in as little as 3-4 seconds!

* Up to 3 dialing modes+, including option to be prompted before dialing - Helps prevent accidental dialing!

With Speedy Dial!, it's possible to...

* Avoid scrolling through favorites or contacts - put your most important 48 numbers in Speedy Dial! and dial them quickly and easily!

* Dial by name, relation, category, description, type, etc. (e.g. Bob Smith, sister, cleaners, work) - whichever way(s) you choose

* Conveniently assign colors to different types of numbers (e.g. red for emergency)

* Control speed dial placement in 'convenient fixed locations' - which also makes it easy to find & dial desired numbers (unlike favorites where there may be limited placement control and where placement of any given number may change significantly depending upon the number of favorites)

* Keep related numbers together on one screen - great for grouping work numbers or family numbers together

* Place numbers how you want them to appear on screen (even if you have only two numbers, you can put one at the bottom of the screen and one at the top...unlike favorites where you may have more limited placement control)

* Quickly dial your most frequently used/most important numbers

* Use custom text on buttons without affecting the system's contacts (for example, one can put "Hubby" on a speed dial button but leave "Peter Jones" in contacts)

* Directly control text on buttons - unlike favorites which may not be directly editable without affecting contacts

* Save time & increase efficiency since Speedy Dial! may fit more numbers per screen & thereby avoid scrolling (system contacts & favorites may require scrolling and show only a few contacts at a time, whereas Speedy Dial! shows 16 numbers per screen with a maximum of 3 screens to view)

* Conveniently remain in the app after dialing (where applicable)+

* Use emojis for enhanced appearance

* Quickly & easily change existing speed dials - change them as often as desired!

* View both names and numbers together on the same screen (unlike some lists of favorites or contacts)

* Easily restore default speed dial button settings on an individual basis

* See numbers before dialing them - unlike some contacts or favorites lists

* Conveniently set up speed dials for short term/temporary calling and avoid cluttering up your system contacts (speed dial numbers do *not* need to exist in the system contacts list and temporary numbers are easy to delete)

Hassle free! Works on applicable functioning / configured Android devices with currently active / available phone service. No special phone setup required! Uses system dialer so...

* No other setup is required to dial (other than adding speed dial numbers, of course, and granting the app applicable permissions)

* There is no need to maintain separate settings, folders, etc. (calls made via Speedy Dial! are logged as normal in your system along with all other calls)

+ Where applicable. Availability / function / app behavior / etc. may vary by device / operating system / settings / etc.
