## Description

Orthodoxy is more than an app—it's your personal catechism you can use anytime, anywhere, offline. It provides a pocket library with Holy Scriptures, Psalms, Deuterocanonical Books, Book of Hours, Akathists, Ladder, and the Apocrypha, plus more than 50 educational topics. Features include morning feast-day notifications and a fast two-click search.

It prioritizes accessibility and privacy: larger text and read-aloud for visually impaired users, light and dark themes, and a simple, consistent navigation. Serbian language content, Google Material Design, adaptive icons, and active shortcuts on supported Android versions are supported. It also offers daily Orthodox news, multimedia content, fasting recipes, and optional beta updates; core content works offline and online access is only for news, notifications, and multimedia.
