Coptic Reader

Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern USA

About this app

Coptic Reader is a mobile application that contains the liturgical text, rites, psalmodies, hymns, melodies, services, and sacraments of the Coptic Orthodox Church. See below for a full list of included content. Coptic Reader is not simply a text reader but rather it dynamically creates each document/service according to the rites of the current day, or selected day/feast. Coptic Reader builds each document on the fly with all appropriate hymns, rites and instructions to take the guess work out of the order of a church service.

Coptic Reader can generate documents in a combination of English, Arabic, and Coptic and supports both English and Arabic as the application interface language. Coptic Reader is fully customizable and allows you to show/hide different liturgical roles (i.e., Priest, Deacon, and Congregation), inaudible prayers, rubrics/comments, and languages.

You may choose between different graphical themes as well as change the document text size. A presentation mode is also supported that allows you to project the content in your church for a complete experience. The application also allows you to control which saint or archangel commemorations will be shown in doxologies, hymns, responses, and other prayers for your church's intercessors.

Ratings and reviews

Still, some of the English translations are a little primitive (inaccurate or weak) and don't match the Arabic. Also, sometimes, there are whole missing sentences in the Arabic and/ the English translations, so they don't match..!

This app used to be good until it became basically abandoned. Developers don't release new features at all. They don't listen to any requests in the comments. You still can't do something as simple as copy and paste. Would love a competitor in the market, but sadly, this is all we have.

it is a wonderful exceptional app, but need always some corrections, specially Coptic names. for example "ⲁⲃⲃⲁ Ⲃⲓⲥⲁ" should be "abba Weessa" not Besa.... etc etc
