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 churchs intercessors.

- Complete Bible including Coptic New Testament and Deuterocanonical books
- Book of Hours (Agpeya)

Pros and cons of Coptic Reader app for iPhone and iPad

Coptic Reader app good for

Coptic Reader is very good to learn about God and it has a lot of things in just one app

I like this app so much, it is so useful for all ages with different languages thats why Im using it with my kids.

Great app, very helpful I really like it and enjoy using it during church services and home

Its a great resource, there is so much to learn and Coptic Reader puts it all at your fingertips I love it and I highly encourage everyone to give it a try

This app was carefully and thoughtfully created for the user.

First let me say this is awesome Thank you and God Bless whoever has made this and continues to improve and support this app. Thank you for your dedication to our Coptic Church, especially in the USA and other English-speaking countries. I would recommend that this app become the English language standard for our churches as it already is being projected during many church services. I think standardization of the English wording of our services is very important so that a young person who visits a new Coptic Orthodox Church can feel that this new church is the same as the one in which they were raised. One small request: I would appreciate being able to copy from the App on iPhone, in order to share with others from the Bible readings of the day or the liturgy. Thanks again.

Some bad moments

You know the language in the readings have some major difference from the physical books in our hands . Where did you got these readings ?

You put the app completely free in Egypt and you charge money to get full access if you are in the US whyyyyy
