## Review summary

Lectionary: From the CofE is valued for its comprehensive lectionary readings, saint information, and usefulness for Church of England service planning. However, recent updates have led to compatibility issues with Android versions below 11, app crashes, and subscription payment processing problems that frustrate many users. While cross-platform access and content quality are praised, delayed subscription activation and some navigation glitches were noted. Users appreciate the app's value but are disappointed by ongoing technical challenges and poor developer communication.

### Pros

- Provides detailed lectionary readings and collects for every day and Sunday of the year.
- Useful for those involved in Church of England services, including cathedral precentors and those setting up services.
- Includes background information about saints and the liturgical calendar, enhancing understanding.
- Cross-platform availability and integration with Windows PC and web access increases convenience.
- Reasonably priced subscription offering good value for the content and features provided.

### Cons

- Recently increased minimum Android version to 11, excluding users with older devices who previously could use the app.
- Many users unable to renew their subscription due to persistent payment processing issues with Google Play and lack of developer response.
- App crashes or fails to open after recent updates on various Android versions, often displaying a blank or white page.
- Lack of immediate subscription activation leads to delays (up to 7 days) before subscription benefits become available.
- Some usability issues such as difficulty unsubscribing and navigation problems when browsing readings.
