About this app

The v2 update supports Android 11 and later

Integrate the Church of England's pattern of daily Bible readings seamlessly into your life with the official Common Worship Lectionary app for iPad.

For each day of the church year, it presents the Common Worship lectionary readings in full, complete with dynamic links to the Bible passages themselves (NRSV translation). All approved variations are clearly presented, including the Additional Weekday Lectionary.

The app also allows you to:

- Access the Collect and Post-Communions for the day at the touch of a button.
- Mark and annotate records – ideal for service planning.
- View the week's lectionary in a single page.
- Start your annual lectionary whenever you like: no need to wait for the new church year.
- Remove the first paragraph of text about errors (should now be resolved)

The app is free to download and includes a free 14 day subscription. After this period, an in-app subscription must be purchased to receive further content.

There are two types of subscription available:

- Basic subscription: Lectionary references, Collects and Post Communions are always available, but NRSV Bible readings are only available when you are connected to the Internet (£4.99 for 12 months).

- Full subscription: includes all NRSV Bible Readings immediately available at all times, even when you are not connected to the Internet (£8.99 for 12 months).

3 month subscriptions are also available.


The Common Worship Lectionary app includes the official Calendar, Bible Readings (NRSV) and Collects from the Church of England.

Ratings and reviews

I have been unable to renew my subscription this year, and now I'm unable to contact support via the app, My subscription is showing as active on Google play but no luck with anything. Really bad service. Use the paper version.

SOLVED: Log in and pay on the Hymns Ancient & Modern website. Then reinstall app on the phone and it will ask for your HAM details- hey presto! Website is clunky and slow but it did work! What a palaver. Very bad subscription issues since around July. Been using the app for years now with no problem. As soon as I qualified as a minister it stopped working! several exchanges of emails with support have resulted in no resolution.

For months I have been paying for access to the lectionary. For months I have been barred from using it, despite informing the administration of this matter. Is this corrution?
