PrayNow

This version has not had any crashes for me and is very stable I have come to rely on this fantastic app for my daily devotions I particularly like how you can choose to put the daily readings prays and hymns into the short order of services I have this app on both by iPhone and iPad and find it my most used app of all the many apps I have I highly recommend it The short order of services may seem old fashioned to some but for me they are more modern than the ones I grew up with Every day there is a different old and new testament verse Providing particular insight is the readings from various pillars of the church which elaborate on the theme in the daily passages                 Peace at the last

Thankyou CPH I hope and pray more aps are on there way                 Thankyou

Buy this in hardcopy and you are paying at least 40 Wonderful portability you dont have to lug around that rather sizeable tome Its all on my iPhone which I bring with me anyway The main thing I would do to improve the product would be to insert the readingsprayers into the selected liturgy or to be able to swipe sideways back and forth between the readings and the liturgies              Great Value

I love the application until yesterday when I upgraded to the latest version Now it crashes as soon as the title screen shows I am running OS 313 which was specified in the minimal requirements Now I have to pray that they can fix this problem soon     New version wont open in 313

Essential tool for helping me pray daily                 Prayer companion

I bought the Treasury of Daily Prayer and was thrilled when PrayNow came out However now CPH has expanded their repertoire by adding 2 devotional books tied to the lectionary which is what TDP uses Why not have these devotional resources as inapp addons for an additional fee for those who want them That would allow PrayNow to truly be an allinone devotional resource              Great but

I love this app already I have fibromyalgia and sometimes its difficult to be in bed with the large ToDP This app gives me the meat and potatoes that I need to keep up with an active prayer life Thanks so much to CPH                 Fantastic

This will come in handy when mom and dad call to read scriptures and pray together with me As dad endures the effects of the cancer thats killing him the order of compline that repeats Jesus faithfilled words from the cross to His Father Into Your hands I commend my spirit will bring much spiritual comfort in Christ to each of us                 Handy Biblical Relevant Sacred

This app is the one I use the most Now it is like having the Treasury of Daily Prayer is with me always                 Prayer answered

Im 24 and have really rediscovered some incredible meat for my devotional life with this app I love it My only recommendation would be to integrate the actual liturgical music into the app It would be so cool to be hearing those hymns litanies chants and orders But all in all a RESOUNDING 5 stars                 This is great

Great program very inspiring easy daily read Makes you long for more                 Must have

No updates since 2013 Not optimization for the iPhone 6 or 6 Not even a refresh for iOS 8 Its clear that this app is not a priority for CPH I guess I will just pray without ceasing that they would remember they still have this app and that they would care enough for those who have bought it to give it some love     Abandoned

Its nice having all the daily readings in one app but I expected a little more for 899 Great app but I advise dropping the price There are other apps for free which have the whole Bible daily readings and many more resources So add a little more to this app or drop the price But overall its very good           Great resource but priced a little high

This is a great app very convenient makes TDP great on the go no page turning I wish there was musical notes andor a MIDI file associated with the psalms and the hymns that would make it complete Well done CPH                 Awesome music would be nice

Have the book version the app This app is the whole 40 book Treasury of Daily Prayer for 899 And it is more convenient then carrying around a large book I always have my phone                 Great Resource

I really appreciate this Application and find it to be a daily blessing It is a pleasure to read and to have at ones finger tips these wrods of Grace and encouragement I know many more would use it if it were not for the price One complaint that I have is and it seem to only make sense would be the availability to copy pieces of texts and place them in emails or other applications I can understand if it was a copyright rule but that doesnt make much sense when we are quoting Martin Luther And perhaps more complicated for the author of the program would be to link the scripture reference to actual text That would not be necessary if the copy and paste feature was available PLEASE CONSIDER THIS Bessings on your ministry Peace t              Pray Now

This app is very easy to use                 Great app

This app is extremely handy when you forget your copy of TDP It has nifty features like being able to turn psalm pointing on and off and a reversed night version that displays white text against a black background Another home run for Concordia                 Great App

It would be nice if there were some more guidance for fasting I believe this is very important for our faith and need more information and guidance Other than thisits awesome                 Fasting

Crash problem gone                 Praying

CPH has set the bar high with this first app PrayNow is an excellent mobile devotional app It is a tool every Lutheran and every other Christian should own and use                 Oremus Let Us Pray

Ive read a couple comments reporting that the app crashes not sure what people are talking about Im running PrayNow on my iPhone 4 and my iPad 1 and iPad 2 without any issues at all and Im running the latest version of iOS on all my devices Sure would be nice if anyone saying they are experiencing crashes would contact the Apps publisher to let them know precisely whats going on rather than posting vague comments on Apples iTunes site I checked with the publisher Concordia Publishing House and they say that they are not able to replicate any crashes PrayNow is working fine on their iPhones iPad and iTouches all of which are running the latest version of iOS and PrayNow without any problems                 Works Great Not Sure Why Some People are Reporting Crashes

This is a Great App that I use every day We need more apps like this from Concordia One great update would be to include the readings from the Book of Concord rather than just referencing the pages to read I would love to have it all in one App I am certainly looking for an update No update as of yet Another feature that is needed is the ability to highlight text in the app for quick reference I use this app with a morning prayer group and it would be nice to have the highlight feature                 We need more apps like this

Concordia has done all confessional Lutherans a very great service with a string of wonderful publishing events including an excellent new Book of Concord in several formats the Lutheran Study Bible etc Paul McCain editor at Concordia is doing marvelous job of helping to shepherd along what amounts to being a revival of confessional Lutheranism via his blog and his tireless work at Concordia Hats off to him I for one am grateful Its been years since so many wonderful solid Lutheran resources have been available Okay here comes the BUT But the liturgy of the hours I downloaded this because it is released by Concordia but I immediately regretted my purchase I have no taste for this type of high church formal prayer and I dont know any Lutherans who do I have never seen Lutherans do this and I dont expect to see any doing it in the future In my opinion its alien to the Lutheran spiritual outlook If that seems extreme you have to admit that it is an unusual practice for Lutherans Very unusual This is high church Lutheranism pushing the envelope right off the Reformation table and onto the RomanEpiscopal one Just what we need one more spiritual duty to add to our todo list and an especially tedious and repetitive one to boot Pietism is a danger in Lutheranism but so is the other extreme of external formalism and the liturgy of the hours is formalism at its Roman worst Its one of those high church activities that can be done so mindlessly that Luther mocked the way he saw priests saying their hours while they berated their household servants Save your money One of the slogans of Lutheranism is sola scriptura Well skip this and take out your bible if you need something to read during prayer time If you need more help with prayer Martin Luther wrote an excellent letter to his barber in which he describes a simple way to pray Its all the advice you will ever need and its available free on the internet If you love these high church activities by all means go for it Personally though I hope this is not going to be part of the confessional Lutheran revival that catches on It seems to miss the whole point of the reformation        This is Lutheran

Excellent layout easy to read Ive been waiting for this app as I didnt want to have to purchase the Kindle version Great for travel and reading in bed when you dont want to carry a big book around Best daily prayer book around                 Super Convenient

The content in this app is essentially the same as the excellent Treasury of Daily Prayer minus a few parts here and there It keeps track of the calendar and church year for you and can even display inline propers and readings in a Matins Vespers and Compline prayer service However it occasonally crashes on 43 and when it does you cant get it to start again unless you change the date on your device or wait until the next day           Awesome content a bit buggy

I love this app It has the essentials I would suggest that within the orders Matins Vespers Compline you have a slide over screen or a hot link to the daily propers so it is more smooth to switch from one to the other                 Excellent But a Couple Suggestions

This app is a great tool for providing structure and support to your daily devotion and prayer life There are several formats that can be used from a structured worship setting to a more pared down daily readings and devotion The ability to add personal notes and thought to the readings is nice The formatting is well done pleasant to read and adjustable The ability to insert the daily readings into the various service orders is nice What would it take to give this app 5 stars The ability to add in a personal prayer list I find it distracting to have to open another app to access my other prayer requests and reminders It would also be nice if the references to the canticles etc in the orders of service were hyperlinked rather than having to flip back and forth to go read them and then return to the service              Daily prayer and devotions

If youre looking for a rich devotional treasure thats easy to use and able to fit in your pocket then PrayNow by Concordia Publishing House is for you In PrayNow the spiritual wealth of Treasury of Daily Prayer CPH meets the ease of use and portability of iPhone and presumably iPad Orders of prayer all of the Psalms Scripture readings appointed for each day of the year and edifying devotional writings are readily available Just open the app and the days readings are right there or you can easily search for other readings An entire years prayer book in your palm and at your fingertips for such a low cost just cant beat it                 Spiritual Wealth Meets iPhone Usability

I really wished it followed the church year calendar and automatically used the correct year           Great but

Have been using the IPad App for over a week It is great for every day travel and when you just cannot use the large book Its all right there Changing to the Verdana font and magnifying the text makes reading very easy and clear I have no complaints and love this IPad app given to us by Concordia Publishing House                 Second Best Devotional App available

For those of us that arent complete without our iPhones in our hands this app makes it slick to get the core of the Treasury Love it yall                 Nice

This is one amazing little app The Treasury packed into the iPhone Amazing Now praying the Office while sitting and waiting will be a cinch Kudos CPH Youve done it again and this time in miniature                 Phenomenal

Im giving 5 stars because I love it However being able to easily access the daily readings from the liturgy is needed Right now it takes too many steps Also a bug in text position switching from landscape to portraitno biggie Highly recommended while priced above the typical crapware in this category it is a bargain for real quality content                 Absolutely wonderful

I think this app is tremendous in its variety of services available and its note taking aspect for the readings It is very comparable to the Treasury of Daily Prayer from CPH and is much easier to carry and access this way Way to Go Concordia                 Wonderful Devotional App

Latest version crashes immediately is unusable REVIEW OF 20 Version 20 adds two awesome features 1 The readings Psalms etc plug in to the right place in the daily offices you have to go into the settings to enable this 2 its now a universal binary meaning if you view it on an iPad its optimized for the iPad without having to buy a separate app Thank you CPH My review of 10 CPH has released PrayNow an application that brings the Treasury of Daily Prayer to your iPhoneiTouchiPad Its a very reasonable 899 PrayNow works in a simple efficient way minimizing the amount of navigation its as easy to switch back and forth from prayer office to the psalmsreadingscollect of the dayetc as it is in the big book perhaps easier because theres no bookmarking to be done a simple calendar selection wheel takes you right to the days readings Someone did the hard work of slogging through the dates for the portion of the book directly tied to the church year to test it I entered a date in late March 2011 and it took me to a Saturday in Lent Excellent work For now there is only MatinsVespersCompline Im hoping that a future release will add some of the other offices There are a couple of typos in the Compline office which Im sure will also get ironed out in a future release It works fine on the iPad too although its not a universal binary In other words it isnt optimized for the iPad what you get is the iPhone app in the usual iPhone size with the option to double it I almost never do that because it gets pixelly is that a word In fact I eschew iPhone apps on my iPad but Ill be making an exception in this case Its become along with Logos and Olive Tree a vital app Ill still be using the big book most of the time but this is perfect for traveling spare moments that otherwise get spent playing Galcon checking email checking fantasy team scores reading and for those nights when you collapse into bed without having said your prayers please tell me Im not the only one who does that Highly recommended for anyone wanting a disciplined life of Prayer and meditation on the Scriptures     CrashNow

PrayNow is the latest in a continuing series of stellar offerings from CPH both in print and in new media and for that Im very thankful And PrayNow is most certainly Lutheran It is a wonderful and edifying slimming down of the Treasury of Daily Prayer into app form Confessional Lutheranism is historical reaching back not only to the Reformation Fathers but also to the Early Church and Apostolic Fathers Good practice and good teaching are just that good To carelessly misuse labels and lob out illinformed opinions as fact is neither good nor beneficial The only real nit I can pick with PrayNow is that it isnt optimized for the iPad Its quite usable as a 1x2x iPhone app on the iPad but it would be so much nicer to have it as a nativeuniversal app that takes full advantage of what the iPad offers                 Yes It Is Lutheran

Using the Treasury of Daily Prayer TDP now for sometime this app gives an accessible and rather complete digital version of TDP to go along with me wherever my iPhone I go It is an excellent alternative to the TDP printed copy when on the road or when you find your normal devotional time gets altered Other times I just prefer to read on the iPhone for instance when lights are already out for evening The daily content is identical to TDP and lives locally on your device unlike many of the Bible apps There are many other confessional Lutheran related readings as well including short services Psalms Canticles and prayers which add to the value and rich quality of the Christcentered resources provided here I do hope the developers continue to add additional TDP content to PrayNow in the future but that they also consider providing other Crossfocused iPhonemobile experiences to allow the Word to be proclaimed far into the future of our digital age The Holy Sprint works through many things including iOS apps                 Great Companion to the Excellent Printed Treasury of Daily Prayer or use it solo

Ive used Treasury of Daily Prayer since it came out Frequently business travel has made it easy to make excuses to not take time daily but this will make it much easier I do wish the app contained the Daily Prayers for Individuals and Families Also a really cool update would be to insert the days readings and prayers into the different orders of prayer in the appropriate places so you could go straight through without moving back and forth I dont know how difficult that would be to program If you are considering purchasing this app I recommend it The Treasury of Daily Prayer has been of great use in my spritual growth and PrayNow will only increase my use of this great resource              This iPhone just keeps getting more useful

If you like The Treasury of Daily Prayer you will love this                 Loaded it love it

This is exactly what was looking for I love that the liturgy is in this app This is a really neat app and really cuts down on the books I carry around                 Wonderful

Reading the reviews Id like to thank reviewer Paul T McCain for checking with the publisher about the crash issue some reviewers had reported                 LOL

Very nice application However our church uses Year C which is different than this application so I cant use it to follow the readings during church services It would be nice if we were offered a choice Then this would be a 5 rating           Choice of Readings

Great devotional app                 Thumbs up

Wonderful resource Now convenient and easy to use in this superb app                 Awesome

This App is a blessing which I enjoy everyday and which points me to further reading by the authors of the daily Writing I often have to search extensively for the source of the text whose author is cited eg Church fathers reformers later commentators It would be most helpful to have the source of each Writing be identified to facilitate further reading just as you do when citing Scripture and books from the Book of Concord Thank you for the wonderful blessing of this App Jim MacGregor                 Marvelous Resource

A bit pricey but for me worth the cost I so appreciate the resource as one cant always carry devotional books around Keeps me centered as any good devotional should                 Pray Now

CPH did a great job on this app I hope more are coming Ive been a Daily Lectionary reader for some time now I used to get my readings from the Lutheran Service Book Thats always been a great way to do a morning devotion NOW I have the PrayNow app which gives me my daily readings plus so much more Definitely a 4star app for any Lutheran its a bit pricey but worth it to me The only thing Im missing is a midi or mp3 for the hymns and the ability to copypaste a bit of Scripture into my Twitter tweets or Facebook Keep up the good work CPH              Thanks CPH A Great Resource

Great app I would like to have more prayers and thanksgivings for various situations I would also like a way to move directly from one prayer to the next without needing to go back to the menu Thanks              More prayers

Outstanding It looks like some people are experiencing crashes but it is working flawlessly on my iPhone 4and iPad q both running 431 As for the app itself I cant think of a single way to improve it Its that good                 Outstanding
