Latest reviews of electronic Common Prayer app for iPhone and iPad
Love the integrated working between the office/services and the lessons. The last update lost the ability to adjust the size of the print. That needs to be fixed! I agree with a previous review - I am very disappointed in the Enriching Our Worship add on. I would really like to see it integrated into the body just as the canticles were. A form for Eucharist with its two Eucharistic prayers also need to be added in for those of us who use it on a regular basis.
If youre looking for all of the non usual orders of worship, instructions and materials from the physical BCP, theyre largely not here. If you want the basics of the 7 sacraments, the daily office and the peppers, theyre here. Also theres no way to coordinate a group using this and the paper BCP - I cant put in page numbers and go to the right item.
Im getting warning messages that this app will slow down my phone and needs to be updated for compatibility with iOS 10. It would also be great if navigational flow were improved because the clicking back and forth is not intuitive.
I do not recommend purchasing this App. This is not the complete BCP. Difficult to navigate. Clumsy
Use the Book of Common Prayer? You need this app! The most flexible and powerful of all the BCP apps, you gain full access to every liturgy, readings, calendar options, along with the ability to search, bookmark, email, and print any section or lection. Great for on-the-spot prayers, liturgy planning, or todays Daily Office.
