Daily Prayer is a beautiful, ad free, experiential app designed to develop long lasting spiritual rhythms of prayer and scripture reading based in centuries old Anglican rhythms and the Book of Common Prayer. DAILY RHYTHMS Join us as we pray and read scripture in the morning, in the midday, in the evening and in the late evening. Whether you can open our app at all of these times, or at one of them, you can always expect new content each and every day. BIBLE INTEGRATION All referenced scripture is included in the app, from the ESV translation. On the go? Just click the "play" button to have the scripture read to you! CUSTOM NOTIFICATIONS Need a helpful nudge to quiet your heart throughout the day? Set custom notifications for each prayer time, and set the times to match your schedule. We will take it from there and provide you with a notification that will help you establish your daily rhythm. SOUND ORTHODOXY While this app was designed for all believers from all walks of the Christian faith, the rhythms found within are all adapted in some form from Anglican liturgy, and from the Book of Common Prayer. We believe that these ancient patterns of connecting with the Lord have deep meaning in our modern times. LECTIONARY As you walk through your day in prayer and scripture reading, you will be presented with different scripture readings every morning, midday, evening and late evening, taken from the Daily Office Lectionary, St. Mary’s Day Revision, 2018. For more information about the structure of the readings, head to dailyprayer.church.

David is a daily devotional app built for Christian men. Each day: a Bible verse, a short reflection, a question to respond to, and a journal — done in 3-5 minutes. YOUR DAILY DEVOTIONAL Each day brings a fresh Bible verse, a short reflection, and a reflection question. The whole experience takes 3-5 minutes — perfect for your morning routine. JOURNAL YOUR THOUGHTS Capture what resonates. Write freely or respond to the daily reflection question. Your journal is stored in your account and visible only to you. DEVOTIONAL PLANS Go deeper with multi-day topical plans that walk you through real-life topics with daily scripture and guided reflection. Topics include fatherhood, leadership, purity, and marriage — each structured as a multi-day guided plan with daily scripture. READ THE BIBLE IN A YEAR The whole Bible is in the app — all 66 books, on your device, no connection needed. Follow the year-long plan at three or four chapters a day, and it shows up on Today next to your devotional so keeping it going is one tap a morning. Read a paper Bible instead? Mark the day done and keep your place. The reader is built for reading rather than looking things up: real paragraphs where the translators put them, poetry set as poetry, and nothing else on the page. The text is the World English Bible. Free for everyone, no subscription. LISTEN TO YOUR DEVOTIONAL David Pro can read each devotional aloud, with controls on your lock screen. On the free plan, you can listen to a preview. COMMUNITY Ask other men for prayer and share praise in the Community tab. TRACK YOUR STREAK Build consistency with a daily streak tracker. Small habits compound into lasting growth. DAVID PRO The Bible reading plan is free. Pro unlocks personalized devotionals, narration, unlimited journaling, and all devotional plans. $6.99/month, $49.99/year, or $99.99 lifetime.

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daily Prayer App at none against David's 3. Daily Prayer App also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 35) and device support (3 vs 1). David's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
