No accessible font sizes
Theoretically the app gives you the option of changing the font size to a more accessible size, but the largest font size is barely bigger than the smallest. I cannot read with any facility with the tiny text size that this app has. I know it has a lot of wonderful content, but it’s really frustrating that I cannot read it. The audio of the text is nice at times, but it’s not the same as reading.

So close! Still great!
Absolutely love this app to stay on top on the Daily Office and devotions on the go. Thank you!
If I could request one thing, it is the ability to swipe from left edge to the right to go “back” instead of having to go all the way up to the top left to go “back.” It’s a simple gesture but powerful when using your phone with one hand. This functionality is built into most iOS apps.

Clean, concise and encouraging
This app makes participating in the daily office so fun, accessible and enjoyable!
Forward Movement
Loved this app until this afternoon when I got a blank screen when I opened it. Since it's $6.99 for the app I'm hoping this is temporary. I haven’t been able to open this for 2 days now. I can get it thru Facebook, but not the app.
Recommended for being customizable and the developers’ attention to detail and frequent updates
All the prayers and the lectionary readings you need to pray the Daily Office or to pray shorter devotions. And it can be as traditional or modern as you like, and can be simplified or prayer with the Angelus and Regina Coeli. I’ve been using Forward Day by Day since 2018 and have watched a good app get even better. Back then I liked the basic layout and functionality, but was disappointed that I was stuck with a small font size, even if I used a larger one in my iOS default settings. That was changed a few years ago; now there is a choice of fonts, sizes, screen colors, bold/italic for responses, and even drop caps, for a nice touch. I’ve used the app at home, for meetings, when traveling, and I’ve been happy with how well it has performed. If anyone asks about devotions or the daily office, I mention this app. Sending someone to the BCP for that is just unkind, since they’re so hard to follow there. I like to support Forward Movement, for the multitude of good things they do, and with this quality app, it’s just another reason to support them.
