However the biographies are sketchy, so I must look up the biographies elsewhere. Even though the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is a sister church under the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the app assists in Moscow Patriarchate genocide by failing to point out the most of the “Russian” saints were born in Ukraine and spoke the Rus’ Ukrainian language, unintelligible with modern Russian. This leads people to the OCA site, which is even more Kremlin KGB “Church Aboard” influenced. Seeing the lie that St. Tikhon was the “Enlightener of America” makes me ill, as convincing Carpatho Rusyns to despise their own language and heritage was very evil. No other Orthodox Church does this. St. Tikhon was a martyr, despite dutifully serving the Kremlin, like so many useful idiots. Also, on my iPad, the Prayers button and many others won’t open. So I urge all to donate $ for development of this app. ### 2/5 — Good content bad app *2025-05-19, version 1.6.7* The content is great, very informative. The problem is with the application. It crashes, not often, but it still crashes. The dates do not auto update quickly, be careful to see what you are reading for that day. Sometimes the content is mixed up with yesterdays content and todays. I have the paid version and some of the paid content is not given to me. Really not that good. They should either fix it or just cancel the app. ### 3/5 — App crashed *2024-06-11, version 1.6.7* iPhone 13. App is no longer loading correctly. Uninstalled reinstalled, same issue. Loved the app before, but it could really use a refresh since it hasn’t been updated in 5 years. ### 3/5 — Needs some fixing *2024-06-11, version 1.6.7* It’s a good app. It was working fine when I downloaded it but now it keeps jumping out of the app I can’t open it. It also takes a few minutes to show the screen and then it jumps out of the app. ### 4/5 — Great *2024-05-04, version 1.6.7* I love this app and use it all the time and I love the ability add prayers into it that I want to always have on me. My one issue is that as you add longer prayers you are unable to scroll through it as you add it, I found the best way to go around this is to use the notes app and put the entire prayer there first and then copy and paste it. Other than, that it’s a fantastic resource for any Orthodox Christian ### 4/5 — Add a dark/night mode, please! *2024-04-24, version 1.6.7* Would be absolutely perfect with a dark mode option! ### 4/5 — Still crashing with iOS 17.2.1 *2024-01-15, version 1.6.7* Please fix the bug with this iOS ### 2/5 — Crashes immediately *2024-01-15, version 1.6.7* I have loved this app for over 3 years, but suddenly it crashes when I try to open it. I deleted it and restarted my phone and reinstalled and it worked for a few days, but now it doesn’t matter what I try, it won’t open. Really frustrating and disappointing because it was a wonderful resource. ### 2/5 — App no longer opens *2024-01-14, version 1.6.7* I recently updated my phone to 17.2.1 and now the app won’t open. ### 3/5 — Update necessary *2024-01-14* Please update the app, as soon as I open it, it closes again ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2024-01-14, version 1.6.7* Great app, but keeps crashing on iOS 17.2.1 The star rating reflects the crashing and will be updated when the app no longer crashes ### 4/5 — Crash on iOS 17.2.1 *2023-12-31, version 1.6.7* Crash on iOS 17.2.1 ### 5/5 — Love the app *2022-10-16, version 1.6.7* But stopped working with ios16.0.3 ### 5/5 — Can’t open - great app! *2022-10-16, version 1.6.7* As of today, I cannot open this app on iPhone 14 Pro Max, even after turning the phone off and on and troubleshooting. This is a fantastic app and I need it!! Please fix! ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-08-02, version 1.6.7* I love that access to daily prayers are conveniently located on the same screen as the scriptures. It also only lists a few of the saints of the day, keeping me from getting overwhelmed. I only wish it had an old calendar setting. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything *2026-08-10, version 1.6.7* I prod for the upgrade and it’s all blank ### 1/5 — Needs Work *2025-12-22, version 1.6.7* Sadly the app no longer works with the most recent update from Apple. The dev(s) needs to address this asap. ### 1/5 — Pour functionality *2025-04-05, version 1.6.7* The choice of translation for English scripture is appallingly bad. Switching between English and Greek is possible only at a settings level, and does function well. Nothing like the GOArch website. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — No longer opens *2022-10-17, version 1.6.7* Was a great app. Now it no longer opens. ### 1/5 — Was great… *2022-10-16, version 1.6.7* Lastest update crashes immediately on both of my iOS devices. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Crashed & won’t open. *2019-05-08, version 1.6.7* Crashed. Only used it once. Downloaded it a week ago & paid $1 for full version. Full version crashes & won’t open. Took my money then crashed. Nice. ### 1/5 — Unfortunate *2019-03-09, version 1.6.6* Application stopped working after the first time I opened it. Now it freezes on the opening screen and then crashes. ### 1/5 — Help! The paid version won’t open *2019-03-09, version 1.6.6* I have the lite version and that will open. I bought the paid version to check it out hoping to tell my friend in Assisted Living that he could watch services when he can’t get to church. App flashes on screen then closes. Won’t open at all. Please help!! ### 1/5 — Won’t Open Any Longer *2019-03-09, version 1.6.6* I have been using the paid app for a long time but now it will no longer open at all. I deleted the app and reinstalled it and it still will not open or function. I installed the military lite version of the app and at first it wouldn’t open either but today it is now functioning however the paid app of the regular version still doesn’t function at all. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy or download app!!! Scam!! *2019-03-09, version 1.6.6* Don’t buy this app! I paid for it and it still crashes!! It may be a scam. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-04-29, version 1.6.7* I am using the app for about 2 weeks now and I love it! I chose this version versus the free lite version because I wanted to read in Greek. Personally I prefer to pray in Greek rather than in English even though I have lived in US for most of my life. My only suggestion is that the daily prayers to be translated in Greek as well (just like the Bible exerts, the biographies of Saints and the fasting guidance). Thanks for your consideration! ### 5/5 — love this app *2025-04-13, version 1.6.7* our Matushka shared this app with me and I really, really love it. I love having a quick reference for the daily readings and fasting schedule, and as a newish convert I really appreciate reading about the different saints. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-03-23, version 1.6.7* I am very happy that this app exists! Helpful and straight from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America; not for profit. ### 5/5 — Problem with overlapping words on face page *2025-03-16, version 1.6.7* The app is excellent but this problem has not been resolved . ### 5/5 — Inspiring App *2025-01-14, version 1.6.7* I love the app as is gives me the ability to look deeper into the faith of my Church. Daily Epistles and Gospel readings are excellent along with the Saints and Feasts keep me up to date with the Church calendar. My only suggestion is that I would like to be able to enlarge the icons so that I can better see the details and beauty of them. ### 5/5 — Anyone else having trouble loading the app *2024-06-11, version 1.6.7* I love this app and use it daily. Is anyone else having a problem with it loading right now? ### 5/5 — Crashing *2024-01-14, version 1.6.7* Any chance we can get an update to address it crashing? ### 5/5 — As most people said it’s great but could be better *2023-12-12, version 1.6.7* I love the effort that into this app and greatly appreciate the daily readings, prayers and calendar, but it can be slow and clunky. I think one way around this would be an option to download the prayers, readings, and calendar for the month or maybe even the year. ### 5/5 — Good app *2023-09-13, version 1.6.7* Really helpful and useful. ### 5/5 — Amazing and Very Helpful App *2022-11-28, version 1.6.7* Well worth the purchase! So many good resources. Very helpful to have as I navigate day to day life. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
