Please can you restore it? ### 4/5 — Wrong Day, right sound *2026-03-02, version 1.9.2* The display is for 2 Jan, not 2 March. Please correct. ### 4/5 — Love it, but one feature request *2026-02-11* Thank you for this app. It’s super helpful. Would it be possible to add a setting where the psalms and scripture readings only give the reference but blends out the text? This way it is easy to see where the readings are, but I could read from my own physical Bible while having everything else in a compact form? Thank you for considering. ### 3/5 — Would be better if OT passages were used. *2025-12-21, version 1.9.0* Over all it’s a good app but would be better if it stuck to Old Testament readings not the wisdom literature so that it would be accessible and relevant to all denominations. I could certainly recommend it more freely to others if this was the case. ### 4/5 — Wrong date *2025-12-10, version 1.8.8* I love this app it inspires me every day - lately it has stopped working and has the wrong date (eg 10/12 evening is 20/12) please rectify ### 4/5 — Using with another Bible app *2025-12-03* Every time I go away from it to a Bible text and come back, today’s prayer flips back to the beginning and I have to scroll down to my place again and again. ### 4/5 — Good app, but be consistent please. *2025-04-23* The all is good, it’s great to have the daily office in your pocket. BUT please please can you have audio versions of the BCP office as well as Common Worship? It’s unfortunate for those of us that prefer the traditional liturgy, because it’d be great for us too to be able listen and read. ### 4/5 — Gorgeous Canticle *2024-12-12, version 1.8.7* I heard the Song of God’s Herald sung this morning and just wanted to say what a glorious sound. Beautifully sung, well balanced and very moving. Thank you to all the singers who contribute to the Daily Prayer app. It can really enhance the morning prayer experience. ### 4/5 — Holy……what? *2024-10-31, version 1.8.7* The app is marvellous I use it on the way to work and back. However there are still many instances of the audio cutting out or no audio at all. Please fix it properly ### 2/5 — What Happened? *2024-08-05* I used to love this app when there was audio recitations of the Daily Office (with beautifully sung prayers). Now all there is, is the written text! What happened? Please restore it to its original format! Thank you and Amen ### 1/5 — Why has the audio been removed?? *2024-01-09, version 1.8.5* I’ve been using this app for a few months now and loved it. Now the audio has been removed and it’s lost its uniqueness. Please bring it back! ### 4/5 — Great *2023-10-12, version 1.8.1* Please think about Audio for Compline night prayer shame I can’t just close my eyes and listen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Daily prayer updates *2026-02-20, version 1.9.2* I have purchased this and the Sunday worship but it will not load because the message says I need an update on my iPad and tells me to download an earlier version....but no joy however far I go back. Admittedly I am technically a cave man. ### 1/5 — Issue with restart *2026-01-15, version 1.9.0* The developer must look at the issue of the service restarting when it is momentarily paused or if another app is opened ### 1/5 — Update *2026-01-08, version 1.9.0* Can’t update and although the message is that one can continue using the old app nothing happens. At 88 I don’t want to get another iPad , so am deprived of using the iPad for prayer...so back to the printed prayer book , something that is reliable. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-12-15, version 1.8.8* Please fix the bug that makes it returN to the beginning if you leave the app, or let your device sleep. ### 1/5 — Latest update two bugs *2025-12-13* 1. Scrolling - sometimes refuses to scroll. You can drag it down a bit and it jitters and bounces back. 2. Switching the app for another takes you back to the start of the office. This means that you can’t set up a reading, switch off the phone, and return to the reading by opening the phone. The scrolling issue makes it unreliable. The reset to the beginning issue on awakening from sleep means you can’t use it for the readings in a communal setting. ### 1/5 — Will no longer work on older iPads? *2025-12-12* My iPad runs iOS12.5.7, which is the latest it can run.I have been happily using DailyPrayer for a number of years, but the latest update has left me with a blank screen. The update needs iOS 15.6... but a message tells me to update DailyPrayer to the latest compatible version via the AppStore. When I try that I get a Download button, but tapping it does nothing but reappear. Does this mean that I can no longer use Daily Prayer? ### 1/5 — App frozen *2025-12-10, version 1.8.8* App won’t scroll which is very frustrating and without tech support unhelpful. Deleted. Rebooted. Reinstalled. Still won’t scroll. ### 1/5 — No audio *2024-08-05, version 1.8.6* What’s happened to the audio feed on the app? I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Also pretty poor that the only way of lodging this type of query is by writing a poor review. Anyone would think you didn’t want your subscribers to contact you… ### 1/5 — No option to cancel *2024-06-30, version 1.8.5* I have recently left the CofE and want to cancel my subscription. I find, however, on the subscription page there is only the option to renew… which happens automatically anyway. Just one more thing to confirm that my decision to leave was the correct one. ### 1/5 — No Audio *2024-06-03, version 1.8.5* There is no longer any audio why??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No Longer a Free App *2026-03-02, version 1.9.2* I have been blessed by this application. Used it for years. I’m a member of the Anglican Church of America, Diocese of Fort Worth. I just became aware that starting 16 March, I will have to pay a $4 / year subscription. I am a retired US Naval Submarine Officer on a fixed pension. A Cold War veteran, I commanded one of the US Navy’s nuclear boats for 3 years. Now, I cannot afford to pay for a subscription and I will not use this application after 03/15/26. I would submit the opinion that were it not for US and UK submariners, we’d be speaking Russian. Farewell, most excellent app! Farewell, Church of England! I have noticed that there have been very few reviews on this app. Perhaps it is no longer of value to the masses. ### 5/5 — Night prayer audio *2024-10-20, version 1.8.7* Good app, but it’d be great to have an audio version for night prayer. ### 5/5 — Beautiful scripture, prayers and hymns *2024-08-05* The beauty of the music is one of my favorite parts of this app. The choir and singers are excellent. However, after the last update I can’t see an audio player anymore! I hope this is temporary?? ### 5/5 — A Must For Daily Devotions *2024-07-14* I start each day with this app’s morning prayer and it truly makes a difference in how I approach each event. Thank you for your Godly dedication to making this available to everyone - to those of the Anglican Church in America - 🇺🇸- it is absolutely wonderful.

Read so well with beautiful hymns. Thank you so much for making this app. ### 5/5 — Love the update! *2024-02-13* I absolutely love that they now have audio for these; it’s so helpful as a homeschooling mom. It always me to listen to Gods Word while doing household tasks. Thank you so much for offering this! ### 5/5 — Great app with some irritating annoyances. *2023-11-23* It appears that, unless the app is fully closed and reopened, it does not refresh to the next day’s readings. In most ways excellent. I'm delighted that the pop-up alternative readings, prayer cycle etc are now working. The 'accidental swipe left/right and go back to the beginning' is SERIOUSLY irritating however, and was not present on earlier versions. Fully recommended however as a significant help to maintaining a practice of daily prayer. ### 5/5 — One of my favourite apps *2023-09-05, version 1.8.1* This is such a wonderful app. To have liturgy available by way of twice daily refreshed prayer sessions is so precious - prayer, readings, psalter. Wonderful. Thank you to all of those behind it. ### 5/5 — Love this! *2022-12-30* This app is full of Scripture read by people who real well. I especially like hearing a woman read the Scriptures. The choral portions are so beautiful. The prayers offered during the intercession are meaningful. I love to begin and end my day with this excellent tool for prayer. ### 5/5 — Enjoyed this for a little no time *2022-09-23* Have really enjoyed the app and love the audio feature. Do you have plans for others to lead the services or always the same woman? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
