Needs more…
More prayers, especially for times of need — bedside, hospital, before surgery, sick liver one, etc. I downloaded this specifically to bring with me to stay with a grandchild in the hospital and found it nearly useless for that (common, I thought) purpose. I was also surprised and disappointed there was not also a rite for emergency baptism like there is in the LSB.

Music, please!
I really like the app, and my family uses it daily. We would like it even more if audio files were available to play accompaniment for the musical elements, particularly Matins, Vespers and Compline.
Would also be nice to include the actual daily readings for The Book of Concord, but then this app would have everything!

Prayerfully
I love this app. It’s so easy to get up and get into God’s word, from anywhere. I especially like the Writings after the word. I would give it five stars if it had a brief opening prayer as well.
Helpful app!
As a busy stay-at-home mom, I was looking for a way to make following the lectionary a little bit easier in our daily routine. I enjoy the details included. The only tweak I would suggest is making the scripture “playable” so that we can listen and/or read. I like this function because I find that sometimes I need to hear the Gospel vs being in my own head while reading it. Nonetheless, this is an app that I am grateful to have found and will recommend highly to others!

Klutzy Scrolling
The app only scrolls horizontally (and no pagination). PrayvNow really needs full pagination or the ability to scroll vertically. The horizontal scrolling without pagination makes it incredibly awkward to use and truly detracts from the its usefulness. I have been using Pray Now for many years patiently waiting for CPH to update it to make it more user friendly. If anyone from CPH reads these reviews, it is past time to update and fix this otherwise outstanding program.

Can you please implement Split screen for iPads?
Can you please implement Split screen for iPads?
Please develop further when feasible
I am new to Lutheranism and purchased this app because my new Pastor uses it. However, because I more love listening to the weekday morning and evening office? and subsequent morning program on KFUO, Oratio, which together incorporate sung prayers, scripture, commentary, creeds and hymns, it would be great to find an app that integrates with that; or on its own prays with audio through the included Daily Office, with all components also written out (like the scriptures here - thanks for the ESV) and with the ability to copy any such text into a daily prayer journal along with additional personal notes and prayer. It would be such a blessing if Pray Now would develop these features, integrated with the Daily Office, perhaps collaborating with KFUO or other Lutheran media. Thanks for considering it as a future goal. God bless you.

Great biblical devotional
This has become an essential part of my life. This couldn’t be better! Providing a bible readings and then readings from the church fathers. Nice work with this app!!
App is okay but....
I don’t know why I can not cut and paste to share with others. Is it an App bug? If you know why please let me know. Thank you.
Love this app!
This app is simply delightful! The only thing I would add is a link to the suggested reading in the Book of Concord.
Thanks CPH!
Thanks CPH!
Add sepia as a reading option
I use this app morning and evening. However, I would love to have a sepia option in addition to night mode. In early morning the regular screen is more than I want, but I don’t really like the night mode. I use sepia for my ESV app and it’s easier on the eyes and much more attractive. Hope you make this an option soon!

I LOVE this app!
Thank you CPH for this app!! I love how easy it is to you and it keeps me in the word! This is awesome!!!
Good app needing an update.
This app is fantastic but it does not send push notifications about times to pray hours. I'd also like to see some additional reading resources put in and not just a "suggested reading" heading.
Please renovate and optimize this app
Wonderful app, though I wish it could receive an update. It does what you need, but it is not the prettiest app. Surely CPH could give it a User Interface overhaul?
Good app, but hard to find
Daily prayer following Lutheran liturgy based on the LCMS Treasury of Daily Prayer - a wonderful idea and it is simple to use. Why not rename the app Treasury of Daily Prayer, or Lutheran Daily Prayer, or something more reflective of what it actually is? I enjoy using it and am so glad I found it, but it took me far longer than it should have to find.
While at it, change the skin of the app. The picture of the praying hands and big block letters PRAY NOW looks like something designed by my grandmother in 1989. Unappealing to anyone under 60.

Great app!!!
I love using this app!!! I do wish the “Seasonal Invitatories, Antiphons, and Responsories” could also be added into Matins and Vespers. And just because I am a musician, it would also be nice to have the music along with the music to the hymns Even if it was an extra cost.
Treasury of Daily Prayer
I used to use the “Treasury of Daily Prayer” which is what this app creates in a electronic form. Makes it easier during lent since you don’t have to remember what week in lent you are it does it for you. It also includes the proper Saint days with their writings and prayers. Excellent devotional
Glad I finally found this app!
I had been looking for this app under the name, “Treasury of Daily Prayer”. I would have given it a 5 star rating but it doesn’t have the feature where it can be read out loud (audio). I read this aloud to my family and it’s a lot of reading for someone who gets tongue tied.
Please add confessions reading text
This app is great! Thank you. Please add text from Book of Concord to daily readings.
Terrific app
I cherish this app. Since buying it at a very reasonable price I use it everyday following the lectionary. I like the option to have my psalms pointed. I am thrilled with the option for the chant tones and provision of sound with them! The hymn tune should be added with each hymn in the same way. What a tremendous way to have the text imbedded in my heart for the day. I also like additional readings from the church fathers. The amount of daily reading provided is quite reasonable to accomplish. I work full time and can do this. I don’t routinely use the service sections but am glad to have them included it is so wonderful to follow the office with little flipping around. Thanks CPH, you’re on the right track with this app!
