Repose - Orthodox Prayers

I have been using this app for a short time before the update from 2 days ago and have being enjoying learning about the order prayers and adding custom ones. The layout is a big improvement and I enjoy the new organization of the psalters, and daily readings even though some of them are now paywalled. I don’t even mind that the app now requires payment for fully functionality of the app, I just wish that I could make a single lifetime payment rather a subscription. Unfortunately with the update some of the changes are less enjoyable. For one the moving stars in the background of the prayer screen are extremely distracting and I couldn’t find a setting to turn them off. Also my custom prayers were deleted or placed behind the paywalls extra screens and when I attempted to re-add them the image selection wouldn’t work and the moving of the icons on screen was sluggish and inaccurate. I wish I could edit how the prayer screens functioned such as making the scroll vertical or shrinking the icons themselves to more seamlessly fit on one extended page. I would have reached out to the developer directly regarding these issues but there’s no contact info for him within the app or the App Store besides his Instagram account.

Thank you, thank you, thank you whoever came up with this and put this together and made it available. I have never been so enthusiastic about an Orthodox app as this one. It’s as if you can design your own prayer corner and utilize the prayers you otherwise would have to draw from multiple sources and put them all together in one spot. I’ve spent all Sunday afternoon putting my Icons and ancient prayers together on this beautiful application. Now I’ve got all in one place my favorites such as the Optina Elders prayer. At Daybreak prayer of St. Sophrony. The Enter O my King prayer of St. Dimitri. Multiple favorites to Christ God and Theotokos. Prayers to my patron saint and my guardian angel. And added icons all of my own choosing that I’ve loved and saved in my photos for years. And as if that wasn’t enough I now have all on one app the daily things I always read such as the psalter and scriptures and the prologue for the day and the calendar (new, but old is also available). Just blown away by this and it is truly drawing me into the life in Christ like no other app has done. Maybe it’s just my personality but I love the way this has consumed my thoughts until I get it just right for my tastes. So well done. Wonderful. Thank you so much and may Christ our God and his most-pure Mother bless all those involved and grant you many years☦️
