iPray BCP App Reviews

How disappointing

This app is very disappointing. Save your money. It is *not* the full BCP. It has one order of the day, but no prayers, no orders that appear in the current BCP, no collects, no readings, no actual relevancy to the Anglican Church. Its as if someone wanted to make up a liturgical system...for people not used to one. Im horrified a Christian would rip off fellow Christians in this way. The seller should be ashamed.

Nice App

This is a great app when used for its purpose. IPray BCP is for individual daily devotion using the BCP liturgies, scriptures, and prayers. What a wonderful way embrace classic, daily, worship. The app includes the liturgical calendar. It automatically opens the four offices for the day, or you can choose another day. The app itself works fine and is easy to use. One of my favorite apps. I use it at least twice a day.

Well-done app for daily use

This is one of my favorite apps. Each time you open the app, you arrive at the readings for that day, and that time of day. For each day, there are readings including prayers, Psalms, lessons, songs, and the collect for morning, midday, evening and compline. A simple sideways swipe turns to the next item in the appointed sequence, so it is very easy to use. I would like it even better if it had audio, as it would be nice to hear the prayers and readings aloud. As soon as that is added, Ill be back to give it a five- star review!

I love it.

One of my fave apps. Helpful in prayer.

IPray

I have had the iPray app on my iPhone since its inception. The main thing I like about iPray is that I can read the daily offices no matter where I am. This is great when I cannot find time to attend a service at church. All of us are called to say the Daily Office daily! Heres a way to do that, even on the run.

Good resource but flawed

Psalm 95 in the morning office is not the version that appears in my 1662 prayer book. We are the sheep of his hand, not his hands, a typo Im sure. But later my version says "they are a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways." This is quite different from the version given in the app. Psalm 106 refers to the "reed sea." This may well be the correct translation, but it is anachronistic and certainly not Coverdale. I am constantly finding more and more errors in the psalm texts. Whatever version this is, it isnt Coverdale and should not be marketed as such.

Good

Overall a good app. I like that it has the scriptures and prayers at your fingertips. I would have like to see something that allows me to switch from rite 1 to rite 2 when I would like. (Maybe even give me a choice of bible version) Also it would be good to add prayers and thanksgivings from the back of the BCP.

Good, but could be better

I like this app a lot. To make it better could be to make the aesthetics of the interface better in some way. Also, the transcription seems to have some errors and it would be nice to fix those up.

I like the idea

I was looking for an app to follow along with the lectionary and I was intrigued by the art piece associated. I wish the art credit was included.

Traditional and amazing

The app is amazing. I been looking for an app that holds to the official liturgy of the Anglican Church, the 1662 book of common prayer and I found it here. Not only does this app take me through morning and evening prayer but also it takes me through the church calendar and automatically updates the collects of the day in MP and EP. The app also explains what the holy days are. I notice that there is even a compline and mid day prayer that is not found in the 1662 but thats okay. The app is amazing and a great help. Thank you. The only issue I would take would be the images of Christ, since they go against our confession of faith in the 39 articles. Other then that I have no complaints. If I could suggest anything, it would be great to have the litany of the 1662 in there as well as the 39 articles and catechism. The app is already amazing but it would be even way more amazing with those extra things.

Well designed, great choices

The 1662 and other source choices are amazing. Great design, simple, clean, easy.
