User Reviews

Daily Readings Lite is praised for its ease of use and the convenient, daily Orthodox content (scripture readings and saints). However, multiple reviews highlight reliability problems, with the app crashing or not loading, particularly after updates. There is also notable sentiment about the pricing model, with some users preferring a fully free app. Overall, content accessibility and usefulness are strong, but stability and the paid aspect are the main drawbacks.
Pros
  • Easy to use and user-friendly interface
  • Quick access to daily scripture readings and the lives of the saints/feasts
  • Helps with daily devotion and staying on track spiritually for Orthodox Christians
  • Free to download/use and widely accessible
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and the app won’t load, especially after updates
  • Stability issues across devices/OS updates (reliability problems)
  • Price concerns—some users wish the app were fully free or dislike the paid version

I appreciate this app a lot, I’ve been using it since my priest recommended it to me. I must say that the concept of this app is excellent, but the execution is poor. The design and interface are outdated and bland, with frequent bugs and almost no customization options. Even more concerning, some of the saint and feast readings contain inaccuracies, and the scriptural readings are often riddled with grammatical errors. For an app meant to present the daily life of the Church, accuracy and attention to detail should be non negotiable. A great app, but until it’s gets a huge update and overall corrected, it remains a clunky experience.

The app will not open and appears to be ‘down’. I have used for many years but this is the first time this issue has occurred on multiple devices

This app was great, through yesterday. This morning, it will not load—screen starts to load and then it suddenly clears and returns to main phone screen. I have tried clearing from app-switcher, also restarting my phone, same result. Then I uninstalled it and then tried reinstalling, and it still will not load. Please fix this app so it will load and work.
