What's New in Orthodox Way
3.1.5
September 26, 2026
Orthodox Way can now live and breathe with the seasons of the Church. The artwork that crowns each screen, Today, Prayer, Readings, Services, and Fasting, and even the gold that colours the app's letters, borders, and ornaments, can now change from our side without waiting for an app update. As the Church year turns through a fast, a feast, a season of mourning, or a season of light, the app may quietly put on different colours, much as a church vests its clergy and adorns its icons. Your device keeps a copy of the current artwork for offline use, and the original gold remains built in, always there to return to. Headers now render properly on tablets: taller, centred on the icon itself, with the day's title set at a comfortable size. The app also opens more dependably. On some devices, the first launch could pause indefinitely at the emblem. It no longer will. And a small correction of naming: the appointed readings now call the books of the Kingdoms by their Septuagint names, 3 Kingdoms and 4 Kingdoms, as the Orthodox lectionary does.
