Complete Saints Bios
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!JPRose73
Can't access readings
Love the app but it won't let me access the Gospel reading. I can see it just below the Epistle, but it doesn't respond when I tap it.yishki
Good App
It's a helpful app, but the archaic language (doth, enlight'neth, thee, thou, etc.) is very distracting. Why do Orthodox people believe that 16th century language (which I'm sure isn't being used consistently or correctly) is somehow more prayerful or whatever than actual modern English? Other than this very annoying issue, it's an excellent app.NRLa
Been waiting for this! Worth the wait! :)
My husband and I are new to Orthodoxy. I've 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?irishsunshine
This has been an indispensable app for my daily readings. The iPad app is perfect!
Love the iPad version. Clean interface and intuitiveEyePad123
Great for two reasons.
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 weren't 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 don't get any complaints for making this a paid app. Let's 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!Sopuoha
