Proposal

This app is great. God bless you guys. I know many missionaries and priests who use it. What is seriously lacking from the Coptic Orthodox Church, is widely available commentary from our church fathers that is easily accessible for the general public. A newly ordained priest or servant, has trouble finding orthodox material to prepare a sermon/Bible study etc.

The ONLY contemporary English commentary on Scripture produced by the Coptic Orthodox Church is by Fr Tadros Malaty. That being said, it is very comprehensive. If I supplied it to the team, would you be able to include it in the app. I think it would be extremely useful for the Church worldwide.

In Christ,
Kero

Love it. Room for improvement.

I love this app. It’s very valuable! However my only criticism thus far is that it needs a landscape viewing feature for iPads. I’m using an iPad Pro with an attached keyboard to take notes, so it’s a huge shame I can’t view the app this way.

Thanks from a Catholic Seminarian

This app is simply fantastic. No frills, straight to the guts of the matter from patristic sources and solid commentaries (ala Lapide). Thank you for putting together something that makes reading scripture and commentaries easy.

May God continue to bless your good work.
