About this app

☦️ Read, study, and live the Orthodox Christian faith with the Orthodox Bible app. The complete Old and New Testament, the Orthodox daily readings, the daily Orthodox prayers, and the Orthodox calendar of feasts and fasts. Everything you need to stay connected to your faith every day.

THE ORTHODOX BIBLE, WITH THE SEPTUAGINT OLD TESTAMENT

The Old Testament in this Orthodox Bible is translated from the Septuagint, the ancient Greek bible translation of the Scriptures used by the Apostles and read in the Orthodox Church to this day. Alongside it you'll find the complete New Testament, so the whole Orthodox Bible is always with you as you study the Scriptures. If you are searching for a Septuagint Bible in English, this app is exactly that: the Septuagint Old Testament and the New Testament together in one place.

DAILY READINGS AND ORTHODOX PRAYERS 🙏🏽

Pray the Orthodox prayers of the Church every day
➡️ ☦︎ Orthodox daily readings: the appointed Scripture readings for each day
➡️ ☦︎ Daily Orthodox prayers: morning prayers, evening prayers, prayers before meals, and prayers to the Most Holy Theotokos
Make the Orthodox prayers part of your daily rhythm. Open the app each morning and evening and the right prayers and readings are waiting for you.

THE PSALTER AND BIBLE READING PLANS

➡️ ☦︎ The Orthodox Psalter: the Psalms as the Orthodox Church prays them, arranged in kathismata, with a Psalter reading and listening plan to carry you through
➡️ ☦︎ Bible reading plans: follow a structured Bible reading plan through the Old and New Testament, and keep your place as you go
➡️ ☦︎ Audio Psalms: listen to the Psalms read aloud, kathisma by kathisma or one psalm at a time

THE ORTHODOX CALENDAR

Follow the Orthodox calendar, a complete feast and fasting calendar for the liturgical year: Pascha (Orthodox Easter), the Nativity of Christ, Theophany, the Dormition of the Theotokos, and the great feasts and fasting seasons of the Orthodox Church. The traditional Orthodox calendar reckons dates differently than the civil Gregorian calendar, so Orthodox Pascha and many feast days fall on different dates than their Western counterparts. The Orthodox calendar in this app keeps the right dates in front of you, so you never miss a feast or a fast.

Why keep the Orthodox calendar? It builds discipline and routine in your spiritual practice, fosters a deeper connection to the divine, sets aside time to reflect on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, and joins you to a rhythm of prayer shared by Orthodox Christians around the world.

If you are a catechumen or a lifelong Orthodox Christian, or just beginning to explore Orthodoxy, the Orthodox Bible app is a trusted companion for your journey: the Orthodox Bible with the Septuagint Old Testament, the Psalter, Bible reading plans, daily readings, daily prayers, audio Psalms, and the Orthodox calendar, all together in one app.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoy this app but since the latest update, I am no longer receiving the daily inspirational messages, which I looked forward to every day. I then started the 7 day trial period for the year subscription so that I could I ask directly and when I go to leave that feedback, it tries to take me to email but won't work. Other than that, I love this app a lot! Update: After getting a hold of them, they were very prompt and courteous and helped me fix the issue. I highly recommend this app!

I like daily inspirations, and when I have a choice to save them, there is no way to go to the ones you have saved to look back on. And when listening to the audio, and i choose the continuous reading it still stops after 5 verses and I have to hit play to continue. frustrating when trying to concentrate on the word, and having to stop to scroll through and find where it stopped and have to choose "play" again.

My only complaint at this point is that I keep losing my spot when reading. I've been reading through Maccabees and trying to find my spot over and over and scrolling is patience building. The search feature isn't very convenient for this either. I'm reading through the book, not just one chapter. The app is convenient for reading in general, much less clunky than a whole hardcopy Bible. The daily encouragements are wonderful. Calendar 👍, too. Grateful there's an Orthodox app for us to use.🙏
