Wish for audio scripture

Love the app so far. Great design, lovely content. I wish there were also audio recordings of the scripture readings! I actually thought there were before I purchased and am disappointed. Also wish there were a continuous play feature so I could listen to, say, all the precommunion prayers in a row while driving without having to click each one.

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. My only suggestions are to put the scripture readings in audio, and the additional prayers as well. Thank you for replying to my concerns and offering a “fix” as it did help. Sooo I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this app for ALL Orthodox Christians (old or new calendar). I think it’s the best app.

Have you received the latest update? Reflections audio is back. :) Note that the audio button at the bottom of the app plays all the audio available for the day. Nice feature if you have a long drive to work. :) Thank you.

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

Thank you for your review. Would you be able to contact us via the website with screenshots of your issues? It is possible that you might need to restart the app once you change the calendar in order to sync the readings and saints. Thank you. The OrthoPrax team

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.

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.

Amazing! Please add widgets!

Amazing app. Very much looking forward to seeing OrthoPrax Apple Widgets!

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.

Thank you for your comment. The new app version uses the same source for the readings, and the same content is shown as before. Also, expect improvement in the app UI in the next couple of months. Thank you.

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.

My favorite app! Excellent!

There are so many things I love about this app. I only regret that I haven’t reviewed it earlier.

It’s very convenient to have the saints of the day, the daily Bible readings and a daily homily in one app. I especially like the sermons, thought of the day, and other commentaries.
