Great app, however the prayer resource center doesn't load, and it would be nice to have a dark mode.

Well-designed app that had what I was looking for - the Orthodox scripture readings for the day for the New Calendar (harder to find in an app than I expected!). The app is uncluttered and easy to use. What needs to be added is mostly in the app store - something in the name identifying this as Orthodox. I never would have found this if a friend of mine didn't already have it/would have scrolled right past it in a search. Mention the prayers being Orthodox earlier in the app description!

As a protestant who is looking into Orthodoxy, this prayer manual has been very beneficial to me. I have learned a lot about the Orthodox way of prayer, and many of the prayers of the saints. Because of this app I have started praying on my own the Orthodox morning prayers, sometimes using the app and sometimes using a physical book. One suggestion is to make it possible to copy the text from the app to my phone's clipboard, so I can paste it into other notes apps or documents.

Nah. Ya dun goofed. I used this app heavily in its previous version, offered my thoughts last year when you were asking what people would like, but this update is no Buena. 1. I don't like that I have to create an account, but appreciate that I can just type in gibberish and have it accept it. 2. When I open prayers, I don't like having someone immediately start reading me the prayers. That should be an option I can turn on. 3. I'm limited by character limits. Why the sudden protestant vibe?
