OrthoPrax

I can’t figure out how to use this app. I am stuck on the first page.

The calendar is fixed. Back to being the awesome app for Orthodox Christian that it has been. The Life of the Saints from the Prologue, reflections, homilies, and daily readings, all in one place

Loved this app and subscribed for years. Recently they updated it to have a very confusing and clumsy UI. Hard to get to the things that I want and a lot of the material seems to have errors. Worst thing is that the beautiful icons on the home screen were replaced by bizarre and ugly watercolors. Very strange and not a welcome change. Wish I could just go back to how it was before when it was beautiful and just worked.

This app is amazing and I find it very useful whenever I have free time I always have the ability to read and learn more about my faith. Overall I honestly can’t see anything wrong with it however I would really appreciate seeing a little more free stuff.

Not a fan of the long-awaited update. Not at all. The previous version had more readings (which—let’s be honest—was the main reason anyone downloaded this app), was far more attractive, and the option to customize based on patriarchate was a nice touch, now sadly gone. Navigation—once you figured it out—made more sense. The new layout and organization seems dumbed down and less personal. I’m glad this app exists, of course. Any app of this sort is a blessing. I just wish the developer(s) had gone a different direction with the update. I’ll gladly increase my rating if the next(?) update is an actual improvement. +

I really love this app. IMO it’s the best orthodox app I’ve seen so far. The updated version is a big improvement and compared to the previous version is greatly easier to navigate. I love the audio readings of the lives of the saints and the homilies. BUT what happened to the audio readings of the Reflections? In the previous version there were audio readings of the Reflections. I’m HUGELY DISAPPOINTED they’re gone. PLEASE bring those back!! I would also recommend the scripture readings in audio, perhaps some of the prayers as well.

There are so many things I love about this app. I only regret that I haven’t reviewed it earlier. It’s very convenient to have the saints of the day, the daily Bible readings and a daily homily in one app. I especially like the sermons, thought of the day, and other commentaries.

Good idea but all about the sales. Disappointing. I shouldn’t have to pay for the basic and THEN the full. If I want to pay for the full and be done, don’t squeeze me for more money and expect me to buy the basic first. You lost me at hello. Try again. There are free apps that do this better.

The app is very useful especially for people who might not be able to acquire prayer books or people new to the faith however, given the infrequent support for the app and the subscription based pay model the app could use much improvement. A simple change would to be to change from a subscription to a one time fee for the extra content as subscriptions only work if you’re going to consistently support your product in my opinion.

Within the last few months, the errors of this app has increased. I pay the $3.99 yearly price. The errors I have noticed are: saints’ pronouns are very often wrong; the saint’s biography will not match their name; the Scripture readings confusingly just went to KJV contrasting with a more readable version from before; and most oddly, the app shows that it is Holy Week when it is Bright Week. I mean… did the person running the app hire a robot or…? Very grateful for the app overall, but it is no longer something I use for more than minutes at a time unless it’s for communion prayers.
