### 2/5 — Please Add a Dark Mode

*2026-06-30*

I love the content and the text being able to be enlarged but as someone who has photosensitivity I need a dark mode to use it. Please, if possible, add that as an option. Thank you.

### 2/5 — Gone Downhill

*2026-06-03*

This used to be a useful app but now it is much more flaky and difficult to use in a service because the service text floats over other information and is always likely to disappear. Well at least it’s cheap.

### 2/5 — No browse any more

*2026-02-04*

Since the update the page with the browse facility has disappeared. If I need to church readings weeks ahead I have to scroll through all the Sundays in between. This frustrating especially as this page is shown on the app site as being available. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but to no avail. Please fix this

### 2/5 — New 2025 version is terrible

*2025-12-06*

This used to be an amazing App that I would use every Sunday when leading services. Now it sometimes doesn’t open, it’s a week out and it freezes. Needs to be reviewed by developer.

### 2/5 — What happened to you

*2025-11-16*

This used to be so useful. You’d open the app and this Sunday’s information would appear. The app has been updated and now it doesn’t even know what day it is. It’s a week out. That’s not too bad as it’s not so hard to get to the right week. Much worse is that the readings have gone. Yes it says what they are but the full text used to be there and that was so useful. It can take ages to find the right place in another app by which time the reading can be half way through. I can’t recommend this any more as it adds very little value now.

### 2/5 — Not working

*2025-11-15, version 1.8.2*

Has been very useful but app seems to be broken on my iPhone at least. 
A shame

### 2/5 — Still not working

*2025-11-13*

In spite of the claim that the bug has been solved the app is still not opening on my iPhone. I have deleted the app and downloaded several times but still get the ‘Data downloading’ message. This needs sorting  quickly

### 1/5 — Very Poor

*2025-11-03, version 1.8.2*

Used to be very good but since the update it is now useless and simply says ‘uploading data’ (which it never does).  They have had weeks to correct this but haven’t done so; thus a totally useless App.

### 1/5 — Still waiting for the upload

*2025-11-02*

This app worked perfectly until I paid the subscription. Now I am greeted by a forever spinning wheel waiting for something to ‘upload’. I’ve now been waiting two weeks and still can’t get it to work.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-10-27, version 1.5.8*

This app simply won’t work - please check and rectify.

### 1/5 — Broken App

*2025-10-26, version 1.5.8*

I’ve used this App for many years but now it’s useless. It will not open on any device and ‘hangs’ trying to download data. It’s gone from 5 stars to 1st. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Newest version

*2025-10-25, version 1.5.8*

Since the recent 1.5.8 update I’ve been unable to use this App.  All I get is a notification that data is being loaded, then “No response from server. Try again later”

### 1/5 — K16TTY

*2025-10-21, version 1.5.8*

App not working - very frustrating - are there going to be refunds to subscriptions?

### 1/5 — Not working now for weeks

*2025-10-20*

Was a good app but issue re incorrect Year designation was never fixed,  and now, since recent update, it just doesn’t load, as others have said. Reported the issue weeks ago but still not resolved. What is happening with it?

### 1/5 — Once was great but now is useless

*2025-10-19*

This app. still works well on my old iPad because it cannot upload the newer version. However the “updated” version that I installed on my iPhone just tries to download data and fails, and so is of no use at all.

### 1/5 — App no longer working

*2025-10-19, version 1.5.8*

There was a recent upgrade to the App, which use to be very good indeed, which has frozen the app rather than upload. Now it is completely useless.

### 1/5 — Not working since last update

*2025-10-19, version 1.5.8*

The last update has rendered this app unusable. Not able
To download the data to my device

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-10-19, version 1.5.8*

This was a good app until the update 3 weeks ago which prevents it from starting. I’ll not be renewing my subscription.

### 1/5 — O Dear!

*2026-04-30, version 1.8.3*

This used to be the go-to App.  But now it is unusable.  I keep looking, hoping it will be fixed.  But to no avail.  It is no longer possible to view a whole reading on the desktop.  The copy text and sharing fail.    What have you done?

### 1/5 — New version is useless

*2026-04-23*

This was so good before. Now:
Difficult to find information for future Sundays
Can’t transfer information into my service plan, or anywhere else. Am I supposed to stand in front of the congregation flipping through my iPad screens?
So disappointed.

### 1/5 — Still broken

*2025-12-02*

This app just doesn’t work, never downloads data - still, months after the problem started, and after numerous updates. Pointless, and such a shame, as it used to be invaluable.

### 1/5 — Where have the readings gone?

*2025-11-23*

This used to a really useful App, but the updated version now no longer includes the text of the readings, so making it far less worthwhile. Also, the formatting on iPad is not as good as before (it no longer supports landscape view). I shan’t be renewing my subscription.

### 1/5 — Wreckage of a once brilliant app

*2025-11-19, version 1.8.2*

This once was my most used app to prepare for worship and preaching. Lectionary and liturgy; everything I needed for Sunday all in one place. Now made useless by pre-selecting the readings and not including them in full, so I have to go back to using the lectionary.

### 1/5 — Why update and ruin an excellent tool?

*2025-11-18*

Basically, having subscribed to this app for several years, I was surprised that it stopped working; no warning or notification. It has now reappeared, completely updated and totally useless.
What a shame.

### 1/5 — Can’t open it

*2025-11-16*

Used to be a great app, but have been paying a subscription for 6 months for an app that just will not open. 
Have deleted it and redownloaded it several times. 

Still not working, the website helpfully suggest seeking support or submitting feedback back from within the app, who ch is a touch tricky when it won’t open!!

### 1/5 — Used to be so good

*2025-11-16, version 1.8.2*

I loved this app and used it every Sunday before church.  Having paid my subscription, the app no longer works since the latest upgrade. Hugely disappointing that this has not been rectified.

### 1/5 — Constant downloading

*2025-11-09, version 1.8.2*

This is a brilliant app, however, since an update, it won’t open and keeps saying ‘downloading’….. fix it now please. I need it fixed!!

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2025-11-08, version 1.8.2*

just doesnt work.  “downloading data’ doomscrolling …

### 5/5 — It works again!

*2025-12-06*

After my previous one star review I thought it only fair to update this review to 5 stars. The APP works again and just in time for Advent too!

### 5/5 — Frustrated

*2025-10-05*

I love this app but Since the new design has been released i am unable to download the data onto either my iphone or ipad. Is there an issue preventing the download?

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2025-03-05*

Good for Sunday Eucharist, thank you, god bless

### 5/5 — Crucial for clergy!

*2019-04-20*

I have used and loved this app every Sunday since I was ordained.
I have just purchased an IPad Pro and I have two requests;
- Please can you develop the app so it can be used in split screen on the iPad?
- Please could you allow the readings to be converted to PDF so I can highlight and annotate the verses?

Thank you for all of your hard work!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2017-12-09, version 1.3.6*

Love it so much!

### 5/5 — Love it but..

*2015-04-17, version 1.1*

Hi i love this app as it is a huge help in my devotional life and in preparing for Sunday worship. But I have one niggle. As a priest I use it to prepare sermons and worship but I have noticed that I can't cut and paste various parts of the text so I can use them. Can this be changed to allow for that?

### 5/5 — A wonderful gift.

*2015-01-21*

A wonderful gift. thank you.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2018-11-02*

Very useful to have the info on the phone but with the new year info being added so late, I had to buy a Lectionary book to do the rotas.  Would be helpful if the new year info could be available in the summer.

### 3/5 — App broken

*2025-10-20*

Similar issue. Since an upgrade tge app now hangs on retrieving data and is now useless   It was a good app before

### 3/5 — Excellent when working

*2025-10-06*

A great tool for preachers when it works. Have used it for a number of years but since the design update it no longer works on my iPad (m2) or iphone 14 pro as it hangs on retrieving data. I have a full subscription and hope this gets fixed soon
