### 1/5 — Ads!

*2016-04-28*

The app was great until it got ads. The ads make it a nuisance to read anything on the app because every time you go back to a menu a new ad pops up.

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2015-08-07*

I loved the previous version.  I used to be able to change to black background with white writing so I could read early in the morning or late at night.  Now I can't do that.  Also, there never used to be those distracting ads at the bottom, taking me away from my prayer.  I never expected this in a paid app.  What happened?  It feels like a different app!

### 2/5 — Not what I was expecting

*2015-02-15*

This app has a lot of information, but its list of hymns are really more just spiritual songs. It lacks the hymns of the church during each season and the glorification hymns.

### 5/5 — Real good

*2012-09-22, version 1.02*

Great

### 4/5 — Like it but

*2012-02-20*

Need spell check

### 2/5 — Needs Improvement

*2011-07-21*

Say that you're reading an article from the Spiritual Library, but then you leave the app to perform another task. When you go back to the article, you find yourself in the front page and have to start all over again to find the article you were reading and scroll down to find my place. this is inconvenient.

Also you should have a better navigation system. For example, in the liturgical text. There should be a direct way to go from one section to another, instead of going back to the main menu.

Also all the materials in app are free on the Internet. What is point of paying to read it here. You should offer this app for free, at least for now.

### 3/5 — It's good but.....

*2011-02-21*

I really like the app. I was just wondering if you could make the kholagy flow from section to section so that I don't always have to back track to go to the next section. Also if Coptic could be added to it that would be great. Besides that thanks this app really comes in handy.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2011-01-10, version 1.02*

I love your app it is so nice

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2011-01-06*

Wonderful comprehensive app! I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2010-08-09*

This is like the best app ever I am always on the right page at church
