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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: My Episcopal at Free against Sunday Lectionary's $0.99. My Episcopal also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 26.6). Sunday Lectionary's advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 31%) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

My Episcopal holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Sunday Lectionary's written reviews are positive against 31% of My Episcopal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
