Great but lacks a component
Needs prayers for before and after a meal. Other than that it’s awesome.
Essential Prayers!
This collection of prayers is essential to my daily prayer rule. I strongly recommend it to all Orthodox Christians.
Needs a feature
Desperately needs the feature to select text!
Currently I have to screen shot the prayers, save to photos, and then select the text from the photo! Only then can I share the prayers with my friends through text message.
Please update and add the ability to select text so we can pray with our friends and families!

Great app!
Orthodox inquirer use this app daily!
Love this app, but wish it had more
I love this app! It has made prayer easy and accessible! However, I do wish it would include more things, including the Paschal hours, hymns from the Triodion and Pentecostarion, a section on Confession, and perhaps the ability to add more prayers to a specific section, ie another prayer for singles in the “family prayers” or adding one’s own prayer rule in the “prayer rule” section. If these were added, the app would be more complete.
(And two prayers normally found in morning and evening rules: the Fifth prayer of St Macarius and the ninth of Peter the Studite in the evening is not found)
That said, I still utterly love this app! I love the “extra” prayers included that you do not normally see elsewhere, I love all the Akathists and canons it includes (Three Canons together is a nice touch!) and I love that it includes a full Psalter! Thank you for making prayer so accessible!
Forgive me if I have offended with my critiques.

Great help to this beautiful faith!
As a seeker and new to Orthodoxy, this app has been a huge blessing and a life-saving aid to understanding! Thank you 🙏🏼 😊 🥰
Charged for monthly subscription
Subscription doesn’t show in my Apple account but I am being charged monthly for this app. I can’t cancel in app and since it doesn’t show up in Apple can’t cancel there. Although Apple.com bills. Will report as fraud to credit card since I can’t cancel and neither the app or Apple have a way to contact

Glory to God
This app is a wonderful app, and a great opportunity for prayer unto those who do not have prayer books or who are new to our faith. I say that there are not any visible faults to this app, and it comes to the aid of our spiritual needs. In my situation, there has been many times where the enemy has struck me, and I get lost in prayer tangled up in my words. But then I jump to this app, and it always saves the day. Thus, I would highly recommend this app for anyone who is orthodox, as it allows us to whilst in prayer, be able to know what words to say if our minds are tangled up in confusion. And so with all our heart let us say GLORY TO GOD.

$2.99 upgrade turned into $21.59
Kept getting the “for $2.99 get more prayers” so I got it, then it robbed me of $21.59. No thanks.
An excellent source of Orthodox Prayers
I have had this App for many years and keep it up to date.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.

GREAT JOB PERFECT APP
I am trying to convert from a seven day adventist into a Orthodox Christian with this app along with other references it feels easier to grasp and study on thank you and Glory to God.
User friendly
Easy to use. Highly recommend !
Wonderful app, needs one addition
Unless I am missing it, there are no hymns from the Lenten Triodion.
It is so important it warrants its own section, and includes Holy Week.
It does not need to be comprehensive, but inclusion of the basic Kontakia beginning with the Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee, as well as the special Triodion hymns following the Sunday Matins Gospel (“Open to me the doors of repentance...”) would be essential, plus the Prayer of St Ephraim the Syrian. The same basic content as the Jordanville Prayer Book would enable the user to proceed through the Pre-Lent period, Great Lent, and Holy Week with the means of keeping their prayer rule in sync with the church.
Thank you!

Excellent Eastern Orthodox Prayer App
I have used this Orthodox Prayer app for a long time, and highly recommend it. I do wish they would add The Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom to the app. It would be an significant and important addition!
Amazing!
Although an Anglican, I use this app regularly in my prayer life. It is filled with deep and wonderful prayers and the app format makes them so easy to use.
I do wish it would adjust dark/night with the system settings, but that does not detract from the riches it contains.

E X C E L L E N T !!!
I can’t recommend this app highly enough! ☦️
This app has a great selection of prayers, hymns, Troparia, Canons & Akathists from our Holy Orthodox Church. It has Prayers of Preparation for Holy Communion & some for Confession. It has the Psalter 🙂 divided into Kathisma.
Pray Always is WELL ORGANIZED & EASY to navigate, which is good because of the sheer number of prayers included. It’s easy to go to a specific prayer within Compline for example. To do so, open Compline, tap the search button (on the top right of app) to display a column on the right side of your screen which will show the individual sections of Compline. You can then scroll & tap Psalm 50, Doxology or Thursday Evening Troparia for example.
Pray Always is also WELL DESIGNED. Honestly, I never noticed settings to aid those with visual needs were missing from other Orthodox Christian apps, but I’m glad they were considered here. What a blessing for those with eyesight difficulties! There is a Night Theme on/off toggle which changes the display into white text on a dark background, which is much easier on the eyes in a darkened room. I have no idea if this makes the app too difficult for those with cataracts, however. Far-sighted or near-sighted? Pray Always has 5 different font sizes (smallest, small, normal, large & huge) There are 2 font choices Serif & Sans-Serif, the latter being plainer & thus easier to read. All these Settings as well as others, are accessible within the app itself.
You can even specify King James or Contemporary English. I think all that I have mentioned above are included with the FREE version. The FREE version is fully functional and GREAT!
I UPGRADE to the FULL version. It’s a ONE TIME $2.99. It allows you to ⭐️ your favorite prayers to save together in one section for easy retrieval. It also allows you to customize some parts of prayers like the name of your Patron saint, Hierarchs, Spiritual Father as well as names of the Living & Departed. These customizations can be backed up to iCloud automatically in Settings.
I decided to PAY $2.99 to UPGRADE in order to support the creation of EXCELLENT Orthodox Christian apps just like this one. It takes time & resources to develop apps. I would like to see more HIGH QUALITY Orthodox Christian apps. If you do too, PLEASE UPGRADE. Its a small fee. If you can’t afford to do so, no worries because the FREE version is GREAT by itself. ☦️

Not beautiful translation
A strange translation of the Psalms and other scriptures. Not beautiful language at all.
Outstanding, Strong Simple App
The clear, direct layout of prayers makes this my favorite prayer app. Well designed, stable and full of useful content makes this app the valued and trusted prayer resource everywhere I go. Seek God through with window of this app.
Great Orthodox Christian App.
This app has everything needed for quick reference. Easy to navigate, Well laid out. I have used both the iOS and Android app, both work good.
