Daily Office Lectionary App Reviews

Exactly what I was looking for without the page turning, and perfect for a darker room with the backlighting of device. I appreciate that the app opens to the right date, translation, etc. Worth far more than the price.

This is unquestionably the best lectionary app for iOS! The service provided by Jim Coates is quick and personal. Within a couple of hours after my email was sent Jim was responding with help. The app is intuitive to use and allows for some customization in the font choice and size of the font. My only request for improvement is to allow for font color and background color. I have about 6 different lectionary apps and this is my favorite! Thanks Jim for your service!

I am enjoying this app immensely and appreciate the hard work that went into producing it. Had a question before I purchased it and received an answer very quickly clarifying it. I especially like that I can see all the days so I can re-read something from prior days that spoke to me. Thanks so much for a GREAT app!!!

Excellent app. Best one for reading the Daily Office.

I cant get this app to open no matter what I do.

This app does not display current dates. Thus not functional. I sent a Twitter message a week ago. Please respond immediately.

What a mess. Only the Psalms come up. No gospel or the other readings. Terribly designed.

Upon start up, I get a nice picture, it hangs 20 seconds, then crashes. Frustrating when youre trying to get in prayerful mind.

This is an excellent ecumenical daily lectionary app. It is easy to read, easy to use, and Ive had no issues with it. I highly recommend it if reading the daily lectionary is part of your routine.

Ive been successfully using this app for years with only the occasional issue that was quickly and easily resolved by a reinstall. I cant imagine starting, or ending, my day without it. I am so grateful for it!

Works flawlessly. Up pops the current daily office reading. You can use either NRSV or NKJV translations. I’ve been using this for a couple years, and cannot imagine going back to hard copy!

I paid for the app downloaded it, installed it. It said it was downloading the database. I waited, it said done, I launched the app again and, page after page of nothing but headers. Looked around the app for a support email, and there are none. Came here to see if they had a support link and there isnt one anywhere. This guy just takes your money and if you have an issue, too bad. No support. Apple should reimburse me for this rip-off. Dont purchase until I have been helped, otherwise youre just supporting a rip-off. update: While clunky on installation and in finding app support, the app is working and therefore deserves better than one star, and is not a "Rip-off. Just be patient on installation and make sure it completes before anything else occurs.

Thank you for a very easy to use app! As a busy mother and a nurse-midwife who is on call all of the time, this app enables me to be more consistent in my devotional life. Thank you, Mr. Coates, for your quick response & follow-up when I initially had a problem with installation!

I too feel ripped off. Only the psalms for the day come up, not any of the other readings. If it said that was all that was included, that would be different. But this app promises one place to find all of the lectionary readings for the day, and that is an absolute falsehood. I need a refund.

This is a blanket review for all of Jim’s apps. If you like this one, please consider looking at everything he has created. These apps are by no means perfect, but they are a good faith effort by an obviously devout Christian to share his gifts by creating apps that can assist others in worship and prayer. I had the good pleasure of sharing an email exchange with Jim and he assured me that he is working on getting his older apps updated. So I will wait patiently while he works to bring us something new. In the meantime, the current versions are entirely functional, if not always pretty, and do what they are meant to do. The rare glitch can be overcome by reinstalling the app, which is not really a big deal. If you’re looking to live a more reverent life, please support Jim by downloading this app, as it is reasonably priced and useful. Might I suggest for a future release, combining the 4 BCP apps into one single app so that the Sunday and Daily readings, as well as the Psalter and Prayers are all in one convenient place? You could charge $5.00 for it, which is about the combined price of the 4 individual apps, and I think it is a reasonable price to pay for an app that makes the Book of Common Prayer so accessible.
