Daily Office Lectionary

Para aqueles que apreciam a leitura do Livro de Oração Comum em smart phones ou tablets, essa é uma excelente ferramenta para tal. Recomendo. For those who enjoy reading the Book of Common Prayer in smartphones and tablets, this is an excellent tool for this. Recommend.

The layout, looking like a book, is somewhat eclectic and goofy… and the default font is just plain silly… but the content is all there and correct, and that is what matters. I was specifically looking for a lectionary app that showed the prescribed readings for each day, WITHOUT taking into account special readings for feast days. That way, on a feast day, I can read the special reading AND the standard one so as not to lose track of the ongoing narrative. My only suggestion for this app is to include the 30-day psalm cycle as an option (plleeeeaaaase?) — it’s in the prayer book, and I think a lot of us work pray the daily office use that cycle and not the more common 7 week one.

I downloaded app and opened it. Screen said earl t an update or data refresh. Screen said do not close app until download is complete and daily reading is displayed. Tapped START and when download finished The app did not display anything. iPad home screen appeared. Trying to open the app briefly displays a front prayer book then return to IPad home screen. I deleted the app and reinstalled several times with the same result.

This new version is not as good. It no longer the ESV. Don’t know what version it is now. Missing also is the option to have it read to you. Just not as good as it was.

I really enjoy this app but I do have one question for you. I like to read the Lectionary before going to sleep. How do I change the color of the screen to black? Thank you

Such a fabulous resource for ingesting the lectionary.

This is the best of its kind. It really is. I also really enjoy being able to choose my own font. Thank you for this wonderful resource which enriches my Bible reading.

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. Also, why not create an app with the entire Book of Common Prayer? We would pay handsomely for such an app. I have about 6 different lectionary apps and this is my favorite! Thanks Jim for your service!

This app is a great resource for your walk with God. It just works. It is laid out well and doesn’t get in the way of reading. Preferences for reading version (NKJV and NRSV) as well as type face and size are easy to use. Recently I had occasion to get in touch with Jim with a question and he got back to me quickly even though, as it turned out, he was on a trip to the Holy Land. I highly recommend this app.

The Daily Office Lectionary is the functional center of my daily devotions. The app is clean and functional. I love it’s simplicity and focus. Rev. Frank Costenbader.
