### 4/5 — Decent

*2026-01-25*

The app is good, but the verse of the day does not work.

### 1/5 — Ads are obscene

*2026-01-18*

I don’t know if you have approval of advertisers, but was shocked to see obscene ads pop up at the bottom of the page. I am deleting this app.

### 1/5 — TOTAL RIP-OFF! Do not pay for this app

*2024-07-04*

This app is completely misleading! It claims to be the BCP from 1789. However, that is a total lie. It is the 1979 BCP.  The plain ordinary BCP in current use in the Episcopal Church.  The ONLY reason I got this app was because it claimed to be the 1789 BCP.  I had no use for a 1979 BC app as I already have one and Forward Movement does it much better!  MUCH MUCH BETTER!

What makes this app even more dodgy is I paid $3.99 to go ad free.

DO NOT BE FOOLED! 

If you need a good 1979 BCP please download the Forward Movement app!

Report this scam app  to Apple as this is a total lie.

### 1/5 — Don’t be misled

*2023-08-17*

This is the prayerbook from 1979, NOT 1789. It’s a good thing it was free, because it would have been a waste of money if not.

### 1/5 — Broken App

*2022-03-01*

I’ve had this app for awhile now and foolishly paid for the ad-free version. It is unfortunately stuck on the same day. Same verse of the day for months. As long as you’re not interested in liturgical aspects of the BCP, it could be useful as a resource. I like being part of the liturgical year. I’ll be deleting this app.
