electronic Common Prayer App Reviews

It has lessons for Holy Days, LFF, Sunday, and Daily Office. It would be ideal if it also had the "Ordinary" time daily Eucharist lessons listed as well.

I downloaded eCP this morning, love it. I found it very easy to navigate, so much nicer to use than my hard copy. I also love that it is fully down loaded to my iPAD as I am often traveling and have no internet connection. I really liked the use of color for the instructional part, easier than italics. There is a hyperlink from the Daily devotions instructional area, to the Office readings, for substitutions. I found it odd that the hyperlink was only within the instructional print and not at each of the headings "A Reading". A hyperlink at each "A Reading", would increase navigation for those days where I wanted to substitute an Office Reading during my individual devotion, less scrolling back to the top of the page to use the hyperlink to the readings list.

As a person with blindness, this app can be very frustrating. Since the last update, it no longer zooms easily and when it is zoomed the back arrow disappears. It would be great if the app provider would get ADA assistance to improve the technical aspects of this app. I would also like to be able to customize it by saving commonly used prayers, Psalms, etc for easy access.

All that is needed is included for both services and the office. There is little or no linkage between parts, prayers and reading, so thee is a lot of repetitive tapping back and forth to say the office or service. EOW 1 is particularly clunky. One cannot page through it but must go back and select each page These pages are not titled, except page1, 2 … so one needs to know what is on each page. This is a continuation of a good start. It has a ways to go.

Beautiful!! added Pages 136-140 Daily Devotions For Families and Individuals--rounds out the usefullness of the application, if possible add links for the Daily Devotions For Families and Individuals to the Psalms and readings of the day. I am not sure how difficult a thing I am asking so no problem if it is not feasible. This is a great app and very helpful for maintaining daily worship.

I have been waiting some time for an update on this app. This update is great.

Overall, a well-rounded effort, easy to navigate, and up to date with the RCL and other bits. All the biblical readings are included for services and the Daily Office. Im highly disappointed with the Enriching Our Worship in app purchase. I thought it would be implemented through the navigational scheme of the entire app. Rather, its nothing more than a pdf add on, something you could obtain for free on the Internet. So, I really felt I wasted 5.00. It would have been great if it was, as I said, implemented dynamically in the apps scheme. I guess I made an unintentional donation, as I doubt I will ever really use the pdf file, but any type of donation is a good thing, if its donated to a good cause, such as Church Publishing. Im glad it wasnt some unknown entity who created this app, because I would be even more upset. I highly recommend this app, but not the in app purchase.

At first I didnt really understand how this app was designed. But to more I use it the more I really like it! I have two suggested enhancements, that I would be willing to pay for: 1) Provide an ESV translation, and 2) an option to add highlights & notes to the text. Thanks! 2

1). Would love to see the catechism added. 2) Also a form for Eucharist. 3) The Enriching our Worship add-on is less than useless. It needs to be integrated into the base app. 4) I would like to see the information page of each of the lesser feasts & fasts added.

This is a nice app, but it would be nice to have page numbers... Page numbers are always referenced during services.
