**ok, so there was an old update & my app stopped working so I downloaded it and now its all wonky. Now on dark mode there is a flickering line that runs the whole length of the phone on the left side and restarting app only solves it for a few minutes. Orig review from 2023 5 stars: Love it! I love that is offline and no ads, i plan on donating.

The app feels sleek and smooth. It is great to have easy access to relevant patristics, when reading Scripture. There are some significant drawbacks for Eastern Orthodox Christians though (we're Antiochian). Unfortunately, if you select the "Byzantine" option, the default is the Coptic calendar. Even if you switch it to "Greek", the video content is all Coptic (also Coptic has vespers, liturgy, and matins, whereas Greek only has liturgy readings). There's also no references for the patristics.

This app is amazing. I would suggest every christian to use it. A lot of times with these kind of apps they are janky or the UI isn't great. But this app works amazing, looks great, simple and above all else so helpfull in studying the bible. To be able to have church father commentaries on a verse with a few taps on your phone is profoundly helpful and usefull. Makes it easy and accessible for anyone to get into the fathers or just going deeper.
