### 5/5 — Orthodox calendar

*2025-11-25, version 1.6*

От всего сердца благодарю разработчиков. Очень хорошее приложение, на двух языках -русском и английском, календарь с житиями святых и Чтениями на каждый день. Вот бы еще тропари, кондаки и молитвы добавить🙏🏻
Пожелание: редактировать тексты житий, иногда встречаются ошибки. (См. житие святителя Григория Неокесарийского -30 ноября н.ст.)

### 1/5 — No New Calendar

*2025-08-19, version 1.6*

This app is only available in the old (Julian) calendar. It is not offered in the new (Revised Julian) calendar. So unless you’re Slavic or Georgian, this app is not usable.

### 5/5 — Thank you so much!

*2025-05-12, version 1.6*

The person behind this is amazing, thank you so much for this amazing app. God bless you.

### 1/5 — † Cursed †

*2025-03-20, version 1.6*

† Cursed app and developer †

### 5/5 — Essential app for Orthodox Christians

*2025-01-08, version 1.6*

Note: it is Julian Calendar, not Gregorian. For those who want Gregorian, there are other great options.

Only comment for improvement is to source better Lives of Saints texts: the current ones are too modern and some are odd and make inappropriate pop culture references. The Prologue of Ohrid is a readily-available alternative.

The recent addition of the daily thoughts of St Theophan the Recluse is brilliant.

Exhorting all happy users of this app to tap the Church tab and send a donation to our brethren in Hong Kong for developing and continuing to improve this great app.

Glory to God!

### 5/5 — A must for Orthodox Christians and beyond!

*2024-12-17, version 1.6*

A perfectly simple, full, and comprehensive daily reader for scripture, saints, troparion, and more. A gift for all the faithful!

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2024-05-16, version 1.6*

The app is starting to say every fast day includes fish. Pretty sure that’s incorrect.

### 4/5 — Fantastic app I use it every day

*2023-12-09, version 1.6*

I love this app, the only thing I would change is that if you are on the new calendar you have to flip to the right day to match the readings and because its based on the old calendar the day is off. For example if its Wednesday the day when matched to the new calendar shows up as being in Tuesday ,making it confusing as to what the fasting rule is for the day or when the lenten fasts begin. (Speaking as a recent Catechumen)

So if I may make a suggestion could you make an update to make it less confusing for those of us on the new calendar. Or make a mode that uses the new calendar. That would be very helpful.

### 5/5 — Outstanding resource!

*2023-06-06, version 1.6*

This is a wonderfully simple and complete app for the daily readings, daily lives of saints and for the feast and fast calendar.  

While the app is terrific as-is, my one suggestion for development would be to make the excellent database of the lives of the saints searchable by name, which would add a unique level of utility and make the app even more useful.

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2023-01-21, version 1.6*

The lives of the Saints are the Gospel lived. It is priceless to have them and their stories so close and accessible through this app. Thank you so much to the developers and designers - this calendar has become an indispensable part of my life.
