Description
Coptic Reader is a mobile application that contains the liturgical text, rites, psalmodies, hymns, melodies, services, and sacraments of the Coptic Orthodox Church. See below for a full list of included content. Coptic Reader is not simply a text reader but rather it dynamically creates each document/service according to the rites of the current day, or selected day/feast. Coptic Reader builds each document on the fly with all appropriate hymns, rites and instructions to take the guess work out of the order of a church service.
Coptic Reader can generate documents in a combination of English, Arabic, and Coptic and supports both English and Arabic as the application interface language. Coptic Reader is fully customizable and allows you to show/hide different liturgical roles (i.e., Priest, Deacon, and Congregation), inaudible prayers, rubrics/comments, and languages.
You may choose between different graphical themes as well as change the document text size. A presentation mode is also supported that allows you to project the content in your church for a complete experience. The application also allows you to control which saint or archangel commemorations will be shown in doxologies, hymns, responses, and other prayers for your church's intercessors.

Ratings and Reviews
See AllFinally a unifying effort. This app is such a tremendous benefit to our wonderful Church.
I have been attending Coptic churches in America since the 1970’s. God bless all those who dedicated time and effort on those early translations. Thank you to Coptic Reader for being a unifying force for the English language in the Coptic Orthodox Chirch in a very professional and tech-savvy way!!!
I have one technical request. I often find myself wanting to share from the app - whether it be a Bible reading or a passage from the liturgy or the Synexarium. Currently the only way to do this is to either find the passage elsewhere or screenshot; however, sometimes multiple screenshots are needed and this is not ideal. Please make it possible to cut and past from this app.
Thanks again for all of your efforts!!!
Greatest spiritual tool in the age of technology!
The Coptic Reader app has made true Orthodox spirituality more accessible than ever before. As a free resource, this app has given me access to the breadth of wisdom passed down from our Holy Father’s to carry with me through out the day and grow in understanding. Through the difficulties of life, it is a blessing to be able turn to open the app at anytime and receive the Word of God and follow the prayers of the faith. God bless the creators of this app and thank you for the continuous improvements you make to it! 🙏🏽
Enhancement
(1) Add a quick short cut switch between St. Basil and St. Cyril and back, similar to that from St. Basil and St. Gregory.
(2) When using () embedded in the text, there should be no space between ( and the first character and no space between the last character and ). E.g. This is an example (this is embedded text) to illustrate my point.
(3) In several places in the Arabic column, the first Arabic letter of the new line in a new segment seems to be also present after the end of the previous line.
