It’s fixed!
The calendar is fixed. Back to being the awesome app for Orthodox Christian that it has been. The Life of the Saints from the Prologue, reflections, homilies, and daily readings, all in one place
Made it worse for no reason
Loved this app and subscribed for years. Recently they updated it to have a very confusing and clumsy UI. Hard to get to the things that I want and a lot of the material seems to have errors. Worst thing is that the beautiful icons on the home screen were replaced by bizarre and ugly watercolors. Very strange and not a welcome change. Wish I could just go back to how it was before when it was beautiful and just worked.
Calendars are off
To get the correct readings for the day, the settings need to be set for New Calendar. To get the correct lives of the saints it needs to be set to Old Calendar. Still one of the most useful apps, but this is an annoying little wrinkle. I really only rated this one to get someone’s attention to correct this
Audio prayers are here!
I’ve been enjoying the update, and am especially happy to discover the audio prayers have been added. Thank you!
Love it
This app is amazing and I find it very useful whenever I have free time I always have the ability to read and learn more about my faith. Overall I honestly can’t see anything wrong with it however I would really appreciate seeing a little more free stuff.
Waited all this time for nothing.
Not a fan of the long-awaited update. Not at all. The previous version had more readings (which—let’s be honest—was the main reason anyone downloaded this app), was far more attractive, and the option to customize based on patriarchate was a nice touch, now sadly gone. Navigation—once you figured it out—made more sense. The new layout and organization seems dumbed down and less personal. I’m glad this app exists, of course. Any app of this sort is a blessing. I just wish the developer(s) had gone a different direction with the update. I’ll gladly increase my rating if the next(?) update is an actual improvement. +
Love this App… But
I really love this app. IMO it’s the best orthodox app I’ve seen so far. The updated version is a big improvement and compared to the previous version is greatly easier to navigate. I love the audio readings of the lives of the saints and the homilies. BUT what happened to the audio readings of the Reflections? In the previous version there were audio readings of the Reflections. I’m HUGELY DISAPPOINTED they’re gone. PLEASE bring those back!! I would also recommend the scripture readings in audio, perhaps some of the prayers as well.
Issue in loading readings in different calendars fix.
