iPraises App Updated: Bilingual, Connected, and Available for iOS and Android
The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton is pleased to announce a new update to the iPraises App, now available for both iOS and Android users. The renewed app is presented by the Eparchy as an all-in-one Ukrainian Catholic prayer resource designed to guide users through the liturgical year and daily prayer life.
This update marks an important next step for iPraises. The app is now bilingual, offering content in both English and Ukrainian, and it is connected to the liturgical calendar on the Eparchial website so that daily liturgical resources remain consistent across both platforms. The app currently includes Divine Liturgy texts for every day, Vespers, and prayers, while additional content is being prepared and will be added in future updates.
What’s new
The updated iPraises App includes several important improvements for users:
- Availability on both iOS and Android platforms.
- Bilingual content in English and Ukrainian.
- Connection with the liturgical calendar on the Eparchial website.
- Daily Divine Liturgy texts, Vespers, and prayers.
- Improved design and performance in the renewed version of the app.
The Eparchy is grateful that so many clergy, families, young people, and parishioners have already made use of iPraises as part of their prayer life. The app was created as a spiritual companion for those who follow the Byzantine tradition and want to remain connected to the rhythm of the Church throughout the day and across the liturgical year.
