This is a great app

My first ever orthodox bible app and it is a great experience i definitely recommend to anyone who is looking and don’t be discouraged by the in app purchases the normal one it has everything you will ever need to start and continue your faith

An unfortunate bug or issue with some of the streak tracking…🙏☦️

I have been enjoying and appreciate the blessings of this Orthodox resource for supplementing my daily readings in the OSB, and beyond. However, even though there have been multiple times I’ve used the app consistently daily for 10-14+ days, the opening score keeping of “my daily streak” has been incorrect several times. It’s honestly annoying because I’m not using or reading the sources in the app as my ONLY source or guide to practice my daily Orthodox faith prayer rule, reading of Holy Scripture, etc. I don’t want or need a daily tracking system of streaks or judgments of “oh, you missed a day, but in grace, you can begin again “. I’m only concerned with pleasing and honoring GOD with my daily prayers, fasting, reading/learning from Holy Resources, thus I find the score keeping & “grace given” coming from an app a bit distracting and inappropriate. I do understand the intention is most likely to encourage users to focus on establishing good, consistent faith habits. I just personally feel the way this is tracked & especially the multiple numbers of times it’s actually been INCORRECT, could annoy or upset other users to the point of deleting the app. I hope & pray 🙏 it would not affect users negatively to the point of giving up the pursuit of daily faith pursuit of prayers, fasting and study ☦️🙏

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts and for keeping us in your prayers. We're grateful to have you as part of the Athon community. ☦️🙏

Run to buy this App

I am truly impressed with this app. It is beautiful, thoughtful, full of rich information, organized in a way that makes it truly helpful to walk the Orthodox path. It is honestly one of the most quality designed apps I have used. Whoever designed this lives a life of integrity.

We created Athon with love, care, and a sincere desire to help people grow in their Orthodox faith, so knowing that the app supports you on this path is the greatest reward we could receive.

Amazing!

I love everything from being able to provide personal info like being a catechumen or being a member of the church, to the saint quotes of the day, to being able to personalize which calendar you’re on!

Prayer

I have trouble with the prayers , writing one and praying for others,it won’t work for me?

Response from developer

Thank you for letting us know, Len. We’re truly sorry this wasn’t working for you. We’ve fixed the prayer writing and praying-for-others issues in the latest Athon update. Please update the app and try again. God bless!

Good app

Useful information but LOTS of paywalls and ai. Overall it’s okay but it needs a lot of love from real artists.

Number 1 Orthodox Bible App

This is my daily Orthodox Bible App, for many months now. I love it and there is nothing else like it.
Thank you for creating this and please don’t stop: God Bless you.
In Jesus name always.

Our goal is to make it easier for Orthodox Christians everywhere to stay connected to prayer and Scripture throughout the day. May God bless you and guide you always! ✝️

It’s good but for some reason you can’t c

It’s good but for some reason you can’t change the font size to a smaller size because during the daily verse, reflection etc…, and in the overall app in general either I can’t finish reading it or I can’t scroll down, the content and features are decent but some feel unusable due to not being able read all of them. Please fix this via font size changeability or something else please

Great Start

I’ve been investigating Holy Orthodoxy for just a few months now, this app is awesome with daily prayers, saints, icons, bible study, and a general flow that is helping me learn and move into an Orthodox life. If you’re new it’s a wonderful tool.

JWR

This is a really good app! I encourage every Orthodox Christian to download it! It helps you have a daily prayer rule and stay focused on what matters.

Incredibile App - no need to sub the good stuff is free

I love an app that has all the basic and necessary features for free and the paid version is just for extras if your interest. Don’t let it deter you if you’re worried about the paid version

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re grateful you noticed this. Our hope is to keep the essential Orthodox tools free for everyone, while Premium simply helps support the work and add extra content. God bless!

Inquiry

I’m brand new to orthodox from prot to pagan to atheist Roman Catholic to here. This app has been incredibly helpful for trying to live out the faith through prayer and education. I have a few apps that all are similar but this is the one I keep going to and I end up deleting the others. I liked Hallow when I was Roman so finding something similar was the goal and I like this one.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Nicky, that means so much. What a road you've walked to get here, and we're honored Athon gets to be part of the "inquirer" chapter of it. Comparisons to Hallow mean a lot too, we're building something rooted in the Church for exactly people like you. Welcome!

Screen off playback

Hi the app is great but please make it so the chapters flick over when the screen is off.

Very Useful App

I just downloaded the app earlier today and find it very helpful and user friendly.

The best

A closer walk with God

Response from developer

Thank you! A closer walk with God is exactly what we pray Athon helps with. So glad it is serving you that way. God bless. 🙏

I so want to like this app…

A strange glitch where the screen is always pushed to the left, off screen, while the main screen’s edge seems to be on the left edge.

Fix this and whatever else might need fixing and I’ll be glad to give it another go.

I love it

it has helped me pray and learn more

Great App

Thank you for providing this wonderful App

John Beason

Thank you. Helps with accountability and when I missed a day the message of grace was as deep as any word spoken by a person.
Very thankful.
So glad it’s available.
