A dubious resource possibly spreading heretical ethophyletist ideas, unequivocally condemned as heresy by Council of Constantinople in 1872. Just reading about St. Sava in their Saints section already gives you an idea what kind of narratives this so called Orthodox community behind an app wants to promote. I cite "In establishing the Serbian Church, he also established the Serbian state and culture.”This way of putting it is not only historically inaccurate, it goes against the Church and Faith
Won't recognize my subscription, suddenly after years.
I get a daily mural and that is all. I'm missing the words, readings, saints, etc.
The 2024 update is terrible. Instead of a choice between icons for a background, there is now no choice but a painting I dislike. The text of the scripture readings is old ("wist ye not that I was about my father's business?") and interferes with reading. The fasting indicator only shows "No Fast" or "Regular Fast" without defining those. Scriptures not labeled with which feast they belong to. All in all, this is a terrible update; wish I could get my money back.
You cannot access the information specific to the day, including the accounts of the saints memorialized in the synaxarion without a paid subscription.
The "website no longer exists. 8 have no audio super for pressures or readings that the full subscription says you get. I had to pay for both subscriptions and have not gotten anything more than i had with the free version. I think thief might be a scam i do not know but it is for what i was expecting and i had to pay 3.99 and 15.99 for the full version. It should have been 14.99 for the full version but i was led through the website to buy the basic version first then the full version.
Doesn't even open
I paid for a basic subscription, but the app keeps returning me to the "Subscribe" page, then exits when I try to look at a homily.
Beautifully done app with HUGE problem. It is claims to be Orthodox yet it does not use the Septuagint for Old Testament readings. It uses the error-filled Masoretic text from the King James.
