How Can We Help?

Vespera is a Catholic spiritual companion app for iOS and Android. It delivers personalised daily reflections, prayers, and devotional content across eight spiritual categories — from Morning Prayer and Evening Vespers to Gospel Insights and Eucharistic Devotion. The app is built to support your faith journey with depth, beauty, and simplicity.

Vespera is available on the Apple App Store (iPhone and iPad) and the Google Play Store (Android devices). Search for “Vespera” or visit vespera.oakdev.app for direct links.

Vespera is a paid app. Every purchase includes 150 Reflections to get started. Additional Reflections can be purchased as top-ups within the app, and the Blessed tier adds 300 extra Reflections plus exclusive content. There are no advertisements of any kind in Vespera, ever.

Vespera is rooted in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. Our content draws on Sacred Scripture (using publicly available translations), the Roman Calendar (saints’ feast days, liturgical seasons), and classical Catholic devotional tradition. We aim for content that is consistent with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and magisterial teaching.

Reflections are the in-app units used to access spiritual content categories. Each time you tap a category to receive content, one (1) Reflection is deducted from your balance. They are not real money and have no cash value — they are simply a way of pacing your spiritual content engagement.

Each category visit consumes one Reflection. If your balance is empty, you can purchase additional Reflections as top-ups via in-app purchase, or purchase the Blessed tier which adds 300 Reflections to your balance. Reflections are consumed at the point of category access, regardless of how much time you spend reading the content.

Purchased Reflections do not expire while your account is active. Promotional or complimentary Reflections (e.g. the welcome allocation) may have an expiry date, which will be displayed in the app when they are issued.

All purchases are processed by Apple or Google through their respective stores. Refund requests must be directed to them directly. For Apple, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. For Google, visit the Google Play Help Centre. Please see our Terms of Service (Refunds section) for further details, including EU consumer rights.

Blessed is Vespera’s optional upgrade tier. It adds 300 Reflections to your account, plus exclusive prayer collections and devotional content, access to advanced spiritual categories, and priority access to new content as it is released. It is designed for those who want to go deeper in their faith journey with Vespera.
