Praising is the work of the Heavenlies, and the Church is Heaven on Earth. Seven Tunes is a mobile application that includes some of the services that are used in the Coptic Church. It includes the Standard Psalmody, Kiahk Psalmody, the Raising of Incense , Great Lent Psalmody , Holy Pascha Book and Veneration Menu. This application has those prayers laid out in a beautiful and simple scroll view. The user scrolls through the content of each hymn in the service. The most important feature of Seven Tunes is the ability to display the Coptic parts of the hymn in either Arabic or English. This allows for the people who are not strong in the Coptic language to participate and to chant with the congregation. The application’s default languages are Arabic, Coptic and English, but the user has the option in the settings to change the languages and the number of languages to be viewed. We pray that God may bless this work to grow thirty, sixty and hundred-fold and that we add more services that are prayed throughout the year in the near future. التسبيح هو عمل السمائيين ، والكنيسة هي السماء على الأرض و ان اشتراك الشعب فى التسبيح هو الهدف الاسمى من التسبحة. 7 Tunesيشمل بعض الخدمات المستخدمة في الكنيسة القبطية.وهي تشمل التسبحة السنوية ،و التسبحة الكيهكية ورفع بخورعشية و باكر و تسبحة الصوم الكبير و البصخة المقدسة و التمجيد . يحتوي هذا البرنامج على صلوات التسبحة الموضوعة في عرض مبسط و جميل. بحيث يقوم المستخدم بالتحرك خلال محتوى كل جزء فى التسبحة ويتحرك بسهولة إلى الجزء التالي في التسبحة. أهم ما يميز 7 Tunes هو القدرة على عرض الأجزاء القبطية من التسبحة باللغتين العربية والإنجليزية. وهذا يسمح للأشخاص غير الأقوياء في اللغة القبطية بالمشاركة والترديد مع المصلين. اللغات الافتراضية هي العربية والقبطية والإنجليزية ، ولكن المستخدم لديه الخيار في الإعدادات لتغيير اللغات ( قبطى – عربى – انجليزى – قبطى معرب– قبطى بالانجليزى) كما ان له ايضا الخيار فى عدد اللغات التي سيتم عرضها (يمكنك عرض لغة واحدة او اثنتين او ثلاثة او اربعة او خمسة حسب الاحتياج ) نسأل الله أن يبارك في هذا العمل أن ينمو ثلاثين وستين ومائة ضعف وأننضيف المزيد من الخدمات التي يصلي عليها على مدار العام في المستقبل القريب لمنفعة الاباء الكهنة و الشمامسة وكل الشعب.
