User Reviews

Users largely praise The Encounter for being a comprehensive, convenient Orthodox prayer resource with reliable daily prayers and natural audio. Recurrent concerns focus on auto-playing audio with inaccessible mute options, ads and upsell prompts after updates, changes to prayer wording, and occasional bugs. Overall, the app is valued for content and habit formation, but a clearer mute option, reduced bloat, and improved reliability would address the main recurring complaints.

Pros

All-in-one resource: prayer book, saints’ lives, fasting rules, and more for convenient, centralized access.
Daily devotions with separate prayers and audio readings (gospel/epistle) that help users stay on a prayer routine.
Natural-sounding voices and easy-to-use audio prayers that many users find engaging.
Rich Orthodox content and resources with easy access to a broad library of prayers.

Cons

Auto-play of prayers and background music that users cannot easily disable, leading to a disruptive prayer experience.
Ads, book promos, and subscription prompts added after updates, contributing to app bloat and upsell pressure.
Changes to prayer wording and overall UI changes that some long-time users perceive as detracting from their experience.
Bugs and inconsistencies reported by some users, including a non-working feedback button in certain cases.

I would love to see the ability to pray the prayers without the audio. If it is possible, I couldn’t figure it out. On that note, I found the navigation to be very unintuitive. I would also love to see a modern English option. I find it difficult to pray with the thees and thous. I would also purchase a physical copy in modern English if one existed. Thanks!
