### 3/5 — It’s a great app, but…

*2023-01-02, version 1.3.2*

This is a great app to start your day, but I’m pretty certain that my data, especially my phone number, is being sold to third parties because the number of spam calls increased exponentially after downloading this app. Ergo, I have deleted it and will utilize a different app for my daily readings. Which is a shame since I’ve been on a journey towards the Orthodox Church.

### 5/5 — Great app for readings and prayers

*2017-02-14*

Always updated with daily readings and prayers at the right times or when you want. Good Q&A for military members, who are of faith. Upgrade to support the Archdiocese and to get a few added features.
