Love the app!

Love love love!!! I have the physical and app version so I can have His Word wherever I go. Might I suggest a note taking feature?

Audible

This orthodox bible app is almost perfect you need to install an audio function. I found another Orthodox Bible app and it has audio except the way they formatted it is annoying every time a new verse. It said it says for example, “ verse one in the beginning God created… verse two the Earth was invisible and unfinished…” that’s annoying. I couldn’t even listen to a whole minute of that. It should only do that per chapter anyways other than that, this is a pretty good app.

Amazing but one issue

This app is amazing as a Orthodox convert I use it all the time and I love it, although I wish they would add back to the app the option for light or dark most and now just following the system setting. But besides that this app is absolutely amazing!

the app is great

the app is great, idk if this idea will be seen but i noticed the reading the Bible study plan in a year feature (where you can read 1-2 years chronologically or mixed. it would be really cool if that feature can be in notification form like there would be daily notifications for which Bible reading we should do based on the plan. Just a suggestion would be cool if this review would be seen and the thought can be considered as a way to improve user experience.

Midday Prayers?

I absolutely love this app, but I am curious if it is possible that the app can be updated to support a midday prayer as well? That way it encompasses morning, midday, and evening.
