## What is Sunday Lectionary?

This App is based upon the 1979 Book of Common Prayer (BCP - Episcopal Church) and the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL). The purpose of the App is to provide the complete Year A, B, and C Sunday Lectionary scriptures that are normally only listed by their passages. In the past, the reader would look up the passages in the Book of Common Prayer for the applicable Year and date. Next they would individually open their Bible to the passage to obtain the reading. 

By having the readings in the app database saves the reader from having to look these scriptures up. The database and supporting algorithms also provide a perpetual yearly calendar for all Sunday readings (forever).

To select the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), click the settings button in the bottom tab bar, then select RCL in the top right corner of the Settings display then click Save. You will need to close and reopen to app after changing the Lectionary setting. 

I hope you and your family enjoy this App as much as I have enjoyed creating it and using it for my own family.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-02-15*

Not working

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2025-06-13*

I just get a blank screen now after the app opens.  And there’s nothing to click on to use the app.  It appears to be a discontinued app that I have been using for the last two years.  The same issue is also happening with the other app Daily Office Lectionary. Disappointed that both apps have stopped working.

**Developer response:** Whenever there is a problem with an app, it is recommended to delete the app and reinstall it. If you’ve already reinstalled it and you’re still having problems, you can try to kill the app. Then reopen it and it should work. Please let me know if you have any more problems.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2025-03-16*

I just spent $.99 on this app and when I opened it I got a message saying database isn’t downloaded or update is needed. I checked the App Store for an update and it says the latest version was 5 days ago. Very disappointing and upsetting to spend money no matter how small the amount for something you can’t use. I hope this is fixed quickly.

### 1/5 — Tankersley

*2025-02-23*

Have been trying to download this for ages. It just says”Click entry to continue” and there is nowhere to click! Very frustrating!

**Developer response:** That may occur on the first time after loading the app. If you close the app and reopen it, it should open to the correct reading. There should be a button in the upper left that one clicked will allow you to view the index of all the readings for the year. The app is designed to re-create that index every year. Hopefully the solve your problem.

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!

*2024-11-26, version 1.3.3*

As a pastor, this is one of my favorite apps!  Will the app be updated to the RCL Year C (2024-2025) soon?

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!

*2024-11-19*

As a pastor, this is one of my favorite apps!  
Recently I switched to the RCL version and closed the app.  When I attempted to reopen, the app opens to an image of the Bible then shuts down.

Also, will the new lectionary year be automatically updated?

Thank you.

**Developer response:** It is great to hear that you are enjoying this App. Thank you for taking the time to write a nice review. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact me view the Contact page on my website.

### 1/5 — It is not opening…then it crashes

*2024-08-16*

I have enjoyed using this App but recently on my iPad mini (most recent) it would keep on crashing…

### 5/5 — Holy app for Holy Week

*2023-04-04*

I find myself needing to quickly see and read the scriptures for specific Sundays while involved in planning future worship services, but I don’t like carrying extra books everywhere I go.  
This week I’m enjoying and being uplifted by reading the daily lectionary for each day in Holy Week as my quiet time contemplation.  God is love, God is good.

**Developer response:** I’m so happy you enjoy it and may you have a blessed year!

### 4/5 — App heal yourself

*2022-11-24*

The app has worked great for years. Today, it won’t open, even after a reboot. Help!

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. A new version has been released (1.2.13) that should fix all reported problems.

### 5/5 — Excellent resource.

*2022-01-02*

Bug fixed. Working beautifully! Very prompt developer response.

**Developer response:** Bug found that affect it only that day. It should be working now. Please contact me if you’re still having problems.
