One tiny problem: on most days, the Psalter reading for Evening Prayer is incomplete. For example, on the day I’m typing this it only includes Psalm 145 — which also appears in Morning Prayer (along with several other Psalms). Thank you for your service to the Church and Christians. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2022-02-14* I’m new to the Book of Common Prayer, and I’m so glad I found this option. It’s easy to use, customizable, and gives helpful details on how to use the Book of Common Prayer. It’s been a real help to me during a time when my personal prayer life has suffered. Thank you to the creators who put so much time into making a solid app (for free, no less!). It is greatly appreciated. ### 5/5 — Superb *2021-01-10, version 1.0.6* A gorgeous app, with an exceptional attention to detail and capacity for customizing the daily office the way you pray it. But this isn’t about turning the office into a consumer good—it just reflects the reality that the office is an embodied, contextual experience, with a variety of inbuilt options that are all allowed by the prayer book rubrics. The app seems to me to be configured to allow for the widest possible use. One thing I appreciate—as a person who greatly prefers books to screens as aids to prayer—is that you can use the app to fully pray the office or simply to get the parts (readings, collects) that you don’t have memorized, and thus to supplement other print resources. In every respect: so impressive. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2020-12-04, version 1.0.4* A great prayer resource for Canadian Anglicans. Highly recommended. It would be great if in the future different languages - particularly Indigenous languages - could be incorporated into the app. ### 5/5 — The Perfect Prayer App *2020-12-04, version 1.0.4* This is the perfect prayer app, it is not only functional but also beautful. It is extremely simple to use, working fine ‘just out of the box’ but also offers a number of customization options for all opinionated liturgical people. Finally, no excuses not to pray the Daily Office! This app sorts everything out for you. ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2020-11-28, version 1.0* Thank you for this wonderful app - easy to use and excellent ‘settings’ options. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2020-11-27, version 1.0* I’ve been looking forward to this app all fall and I am not disappointed! It’s a very well built app and I really appreciate it’s exactly what I needed! ## Frequently asked questions about Common Prayer Canada ### What services are available in Common Prayer Canada?
