PrayNow is the daily prayer app that places the Scriptures at the center of daily meditation and prayer. "Pray without ceasing." (1 Thessalonians 5:17) Daily prayer should be central to what we do as Christians. Yet it is so easy for the pressures and stresses of daily life to crowd out the time for meaningful prayer. PrayNow is designed to meet the needs of the Christian who wishes to follow a disciplined order of daily prayer centered in the Scriptures and to use the rich resources of the church’s ancient daily orders of prayers with writings from the Church Fathers. Pray Now provides you with the following: • Complete texts for each day: - A reading from the Psalms - An Old Testament reading - A New Testament reading - A selection from a writing by a church father - A hymn stanza - A prayer for the day • Complete orders for daily prayer: - Matins - Vespers - Compline - Morning - Noon - Early Evening - Close of Day • Features the feasts, festivals, and commemorations of the Christian Church Year • The full text of the Psalms is available with, or without, chant notation • A full collection of prayers for the days of the week and for various aspects of your life in Christ Technical Features: - Full texts for every day appear automatically according to the calendar - Dynamic calendar allows you to display text for any day - Choose between five different fonts - Fully scalable font size - Night reading mode - Bookmarking capabilities - Add, View, and Edit notes on each day's readings - Insert the day's readings into any of the above orders for daily prayer - TV/VGA Out for group settings
Needs more…
More prayers, especially for times of need — bedside, hospital, before surgery, sick liver one, etc. I downloaded this specifically to bring with me to stay with a grandchild in the hospital and found it nearly useless for that (common, I thought) purpose. I was also surprised and disappointed there was not also a rite for emergency baptism like there is in the LSB.
Music, please!
I really like the app, and my family uses it daily. We would like it even more if audio files were available to play accompaniment for the musical elements, particularly Matins, Vespers and Compline. Would also be nice to include the actual daily readings for The Book of Concord, but then this app would have everything!
Prayerfully
I love this app. It’s so easy to get up and get into God’s word, from anywhere. I especially like the Writings after the word. I would give it five stars if it had a brief opening prayer as well.
Helpful app!
As a busy stay-at-home mom, I was looking for a way to make following the lectionary a little bit easier in our daily routine. I enjoy the details included. The only tweak I would suggest is making the scripture “playable” so that we can listen and/or read. I like this function because I find that sometimes I need to hear the Gospel vs being in my own head while reading it. Nonetheless, this is an app that I am grateful to have found and will recommend highly to others!
Please consider adding ability to copy text. And other suggestions.
Electronic version of the Treasury of Daily Prayer is great and very convenient. Just a couple of suggestions: One, please add ability to copy text. As of now can highlight text but not copy, maybe this is copyright issue. Two, would love to see the A Year with the Church Fathers; Year in the OT and NT volumes (which tie in nicely with TDP so well) in electronic format as well. Either as an paid upgrade to Pray Now or separate apps. Thanks!
Klutzy Scrolling
The app only scrolls horizontally (and no pagination). PrayvNow really needs full pagination or the ability to scroll vertically. The horizontal scrolling without pagination makes it incredibly awkward to use and truly detracts from the its usefulness. I have been using Pray Now for many years patiently waiting for CPH to update it to make it more user friendly. If anyone from CPH reads these reviews, it is past time to update and fix this otherwise outstanding program.
