Daily Readings App Reviews

I would love to access the Bible and theological works through the app.

Great App! A must for every Orthodox Christian. Real easy to get information quickly

This paid app is a step in the right direction for the Archdiocese. First, because it is thoughtfully designed, simple and elegant, and is a big step up from the first app they released. Being able to quickly switch between English and Greek texts is a great tool (for ANY student of Scripture, not just Orthodox). As if that werent enough as it is, to include a Saint search function and a moveable feast chart makes this a powerful pocket reference and devotional aide. Second, because it is a very easy way for iPhone users to help financially support the ministry of the Archdiocese. Many of us pay $.99 or more for mindless games on our phones. It was nice for the Archdiocese to originally provide this as a free app with the option to donate, but I think they should have asked the nominal $.99 fee from the beginning. I would gladly have paid more than that to have such a helpful app and to support the Internet ministry. (I hope you dont get any complaints for making this a paid app. Lets face it, if you can afford an iPhone/iPod and grumble about paying for an app like this, maybe your priorities are a little skewed :)) I hope all the current users of the free app move to this one. Keep up the great work! Also - great timing with the Pascha release! Χριστός ανέστη!

Great resource!

I use this app daily for my readings

I love this program. I use it every morning!

Theres no text under the headers. Whats the problem?

Love the iPad version. Clean interface and intuitive

Since your latest update, mine no longer works. Unfortunately, I think your latest update has resulted in a bug. :(

This is a great app! Might I suggest for those having issues with the app crashing that they try updating their OS. That should fix things!

My husband and I are new to Orthodoxy. Ive wanted the GoArch team to come out with a beautiful iPad app, as my iPad goes everywhere with me, making it easy to keep up with the lectionary readings. Very blessed to have this. One suggestion for a future update - perhaps consider including commentary from church fathers?

If you try to read the details of a feastday the program freezes on my iPad 3gen

Its a helpful app, but the archaic language (doth, enlightneth, thee, thou, etc.) is very distracting. Why do Orthodox people believe that 16th century language (which Im sure isnt being used consistently or correctly) is somehow more prayerful or whatever than actual modern English? Other than this very annoying issue, its an excellent app.

This is a good app, but prayer of the hours would top things off nicely.

Love the app but it wont let me access the Gospel reading. I can see it just below the Epistle, but it doesnt respond when I tap it.

New to Orthodoxy and this app has been a stalwart blessing. However, many times I click on the celebrated saint and there is no bio, just a generic telling of how those in orthodox countries celebrate name days. Otherwise very good. Use it daily, several times a day. Thank you for this app!

This App, along with the Daily Readings emails that I receive are wonderful. It is like having a Synaxarion, a service book, an Orthodox Encyclopedia, and a calendar all on the mobile device of your choice (iPhone and iPad for me). I start each day with my reading of the feast day or saints, followed by the Epistle, and finally the Gospel reading for the day. It is a blessing to have this with me on a daily basis.

I always open this app for the daily gospel, whether in the car or on the way to church. Very convenient, with the fast day status and saint day readily available. The section with the prayers is also very useful. A must have for the tech savvy Orthodox person.

Wonderful app! I use it everyday!

Thank you for something a practical and useful as this app. I use it daily and derive spritual benefit from the daily Passages and Readings and also the Prayers. It also helps me follow the Fasts.
