electronic Common Prayer

All in favor of using the BCP. It is a treasure. But Moving to a subscription model with a high cost without providing added value is a terrible decision. Getting the BCP out to anyone and everyone who wants access ought to be a priority funded by the TEC. In addition, at this ongoing price point The eCP app should include access to authorized worship/prayer resources including LFF, lyrics Hymnal 1982 (as much as a possible with copyright), all EOW resources, and Weekday Eucharistic Lectionary, etc.

It would be very helpful if you would add page numbers so that if I am leading from ,my iPad I can tell those following in the prayer book what page we are on. AND there is still a problem if you go to a book make and then back to the main page, it puts you back at the beginning instead of where you were.

Hello, I am grateful that this app exists. I wish it hadn’t shifted from the one time price to an annual subscription, but I made that shift. I would like for the app to have the correct information according to the BCP calendar, given that we are paying for the annual subscription. I keep hoping you’ll fix this, and I think I wrote about this before, but I’m writing again. When a major feast, such as St Barnabas, falls on a Sunday, please put the information for St Barnabas not on Sunday, but on the transferred day. I try to teach folks about the church calendar and the primacy of the Lord’s Day, and it would be great if this resource could mirror the calendar hierarchy described on pp. 15-18 of the BCP, and not confuse people. Thanks for listening and I hope you can fix this.

I bought the original version of the app several years ago. Last year I paid the subscription now I will no longer continue.

I have to uninstall and then reinstall every time I use this app because each time I open it it shows only blank pages. This used to be an occasional problem but now it happens every time. I very much like the content, but this is ridiculous.

I am a long term user of this app. However, recent versions are hanging on the Daily Office function; I have to reboot my phone to get Daily Office to open to the correct day.

I agree with a previous reviewer that this used to be my go-to source for all things prayer book. Along with the inexplicable demand for a subscription came a design change that made it harder to use. But chiefly I note with Odin that the so-called Anglican tradition in North America had multiple functional daily prayer apps available for free and the Roman Catholics have a LOT of breviary-based apps available for free. It’s frustrating (and embarrassing) that I can’t find one integrated (with daily RCL readings) Episcopalian daily prayer app that is free. Just shameful. I understand copyright law, but Church Publishing is not doing the right thing here.

Frequently the pages for prayers are simply blank and I have to completely close the app to get the text back

Disappointing. Seems odd to charge folks an annual or monthly fee to access something (the BCP) that you can find easily with a quick google search. As regards to prayer/devotional use, this app is FAR less functional than both the Venite and/or Forward Day by Day apps — which are FREE. This is just another example of The Episcopal Church not understanding the way technology could be used to share the Good News.

I did have the old version of this app and was quite annoyed when it switched to a subscription version, but I got over it and love it. It is easy to navigate and extremely helpful when I am called on a pastoral visit with little notice.
