Nice App

The Treasury of Daily Prayer was exactly what I was wanting in this app. I didn’t have the previous app and can understand some people not wanting to change but from a new user perspective it’s nice.

No value for paid subscription

Updated Feb 2026
The prayer section has been updated to show the newest quarter first. A nice improvement

Unfortunately this app fails at least once a month. I have to delete it and reinstall it to get it to work properly. For a paid subscription it is very disappointing. Because we like the Portals of Prayer devotions we will continue to use the app.

Last update makes app crash

Was working fine till today now it crashes please fix this

Excellent but Sometimes buggy

Many reviews fault it for having a subscription model, but this also allows for the opportunity to use many different devotionals for a smaller price. The app is well designed and easy to navigate, jumping from phone to laptop is seamless and the art to accompany many of the readings are nice. This app was sometimes buggy on my phone, but it has recently gotten a lot better, I would recommend it

Really want to love it

It’s a great idea and premise, but the subscription model and option purchases and all that really sour the experience. The app also often freezes and/or crashes. I can’t even open it on iPhone 17 pro right now.

Should Be Available in Bible App

The lectionary/Treasury should be available in the Bible App (YouVersion) just like the Book of Common Prayer. In a time where Lutherans are concerned with congregational decline, what better way to engage with those unfamiliar with the riches of Lutheran theology? The option of audio readings would be available on that platform as well.

Horrible money grab

I love the Pray Now app that was previously available, this one is a gross money grab by CPH. You want a devotion? Sure, $10 a year please. Treasury of Daily Prayer was free on the Pray now app, on this app it’s $10 a year. It’s basically nothing but a portal for CPH to sell overpriced devotionals. Save your time and money, just buy the book Daily Treasury or Prayer and use it instead.

Crashes, slow to load

Please bring back PrayNow! It worked! It was faster, included much more such as the writing for the day. Plus, it was a paid app, and now we are expected to purchase the same material in the new app, which, usually doesn‘t work. Up your game CPH!

Buggy

Have this app on ios for access to the treasury of daily prayer. Used to work a bit more smoothly, but now everytime I try to use the app it is unresponsive, freezes and basically crashes my phone.

I like the content and presentation it gives. It is just too unusable with the current glitches.

Too complicated

Not sure how to get Treasury of Daily Prayer on this app, it’s not showing up as something I can subscribe to or purchase.

Very disappointed

I am upset that I paid for the electronic treasury in the old app. Now I can’t even access what I paid for before and this app expects me to pay monthly? Wow.

Shuts down constantly

I like this app but I have issues with it shutting down almost immediately after I open it. It needs improvement.

Won’t stay open

App suddenly closes. Needs an update.

Not what I was hoping for

With the name “InPrayer” I was hoping that it would include prayer resources. There is nothing included with the app download and the resources available for purchase are devotional in nature (so probably some prayers included, but seeming to be more Scripture focused).

Thank you

You’ve combined readings from the Daily Lectionary from Lutheran Service Book with readings from the Book of Concord! Great! Thanks!

Almost Excellent

This app is a handy way to keep Portals of Prayer and Today’s Light devotionals always at hand. They include the scripture text for the day’s devotions; allow you to select any desired date; and include the multitude of prayers for special dates and events in Portals of Prayer. The price for these devotionals is quite reasonable, not sure why so many expect these materials to be free.
One complaint: the subscriptions are not eligible for family sharing. If I had purchased a print subscription for these devotional items, my family would share amongst ourselves, so very aggravating that the app version does not allow sharing.
And one suggestion: make more materials available for the app. Specifically, the small catechism (not as subscription but a one-time purchase) would be great; also subscriptions to Martin Luther’s “Day By Day” and the “Faith Alone” daily devotionals would be appreciated options. Hopefully these two items (family sharing and additional subscriptions/purchased materials) will be added over time. CPH, are you listening??

Constantly crashes

Consistently crashes before I can even read the daily readings. It’s the most updated version of the app and I tried restarting my phone, nothing helps. This has been going on for weeks.
