Ratings and reviews

This app is easy to use - very user friendly. The one thing I would add to it is some variations of background so that instead of plain white one could customize the look, give the "page" a parchment look, for example. Otherwise I like this app a lot and find it very helpful to keeping to my rule of prayer. God bless everyone involved in creating this app.

This is by far the best app I have found for Byzantine prayers in the Russian tradition. It's copied word for word from the Jordanville prayerbook and the archaic English is beautiful. If you don't like the archaic English I suggest looking at the prayerbooks the Greek Orthodox Church of America has published instead of the ones from ROCOR.

Outstanding! Best organization and UX of any Orthodox prayer app I've tried so far, and no ads. I like the beige background the best. Only thing I wish it had was a search feature.
