I find it to be a good app for finding the lessons of the day and going directly to them, but there are several issues. 1st - if i am leading worship from the eCP, I really need to know the page numbers to tell the congregants who are following in the BCP. It would be helpful to be able to enlarge the print for my aging eyes. 2nd - I really like that the collect and lessons are given for the Lesser Feasts and Fasts days, but I would really like to have the background blurb for the saints given so I don’t have to bring along the hard copy to share the information if I’m leading a service for others. 3rd - in this last update, when you go to the lessons, or other prayers and return to the main service, it throws you back to the beginning of the service instead of returning you to the place you were, making you have to spend time finding your place again. ### 5/5 — I use it DAILY *2026-02-16, version 4.0.1* I start my day with eCP by reading the Daily Office readings. I find that by doing that first thing, I actually DO IT - rather than thinking I’ll find a quiet time soon. (Hint: I take a few pills in the morning as many of us do. The last of those is a vitamin B-12 lozenge which dissolves under the tongue. I read my Daily Office as the B-12 is absorbed — so my brain is being fed in two ways at the same time. I also use eCP in church to follow the readings. The small annual subscription fee is a nit! This is well worth the cost and we don’t really expect people to develop and maintain the service for nothing, do we? Highly recommended (in case you didn’t notice!) 👍 ### 5/5 — Newly revised. Easier to read and use. *2025-10-10, version 4.0.0* Opening my ECP today, I’m delighted with the changes. Scroll down for a clear and easy to use menu. This Priest so appreciates your app, especially on hospital calls. Well done, Church Publishing. ### 1/5 — Unbelievable *2025-10-09, version 4.0.0* Absolutely wild that this costs money, let alone a subscription. TEC, what are you doing?? ### 1/5 — If I could give this app zero stars, I would!! *2025-10-01, version 3.58* Beware this app does not work. I’ve been writing emails and asking them to update it and they have not done anything!! Do you not waste your money! ### 2/5 — Now Costs More, Now Does Less *2025-04-24, version 3.58* I purchased this years ago, and found that I needed to update it. Now it is a subscription that DOES NOT INCLUDE many important parts of the BCP. Think, for example, Ordination. Worse, when you are asked to pay for the missing portions via in-app purchases, the functionality does not work. I can’t seem to even get it to allow me to purchase the additional content. I’m reminded when I stopped using this app. It is very frustrating. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t always load content *2025-04-15, version 3.58* Do not waste your time or money on this app. I am so sorry that I renewed this app. I cannot use it in church because 70% of the time it will not load the content. My internet is fine. I tried updating and reinstalling the app. I will not be renewing it again. ### 3/5 — Again with the late update! *2025-03-03, version 3.58* It’s way too late to add the next year 2 days from Ash Wednesday! ### 1/5 — Still Angry *2025-01-22, version 3.58* I purchased the previous version that was supposed to be a one time purchase. They updated the app and started charging a subscription for what I already paid for. Bad business and bad Christian ethics. ## Frequently asked questions about electronic Common Prayer ### What is this app?
