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 using the app daily for some considerable time, but have been unable to renew my subscription via Google Play despite all of my payment methods being up to date - my credit card company even confirmed the transaction when I went into their app to verify the subscription payment, but the payment was still 'declined' when I went back to Google Play. Aimer eventually created some kind of fix last year.......how about one this year? It really is very frustrating!

An excellent app that I use regularly on Windows pc and laptop. I use it occasionally on my Android phone for convenience but have just discovered after renewing that it no longer works. Apparently my phone is no longer compatible as they've upped the minimum spec to Android 11.00. Not the end of the world as I can still access it via the website, but a little frustrating.

When I paid it wouldn't let me subscribe instantly. I have to wait 7 days for the subscription to take effect. Why why why? It won't retrieve subscription info. I so miss the good old spreadsheet I could load into MS Outlook. 9 years on....been using it, the app works well, but now I can't renew my subscription and despite trying numerous cards over several weeks, I cannot get a payment made. i see I am not alone in this. Please can you fix the problem at your end?
