Russian Orthodox Calendar for Sony’s SmartWatch Extension

The Android platform is being used on an ever increasing number of different devices. One of the novelties is the Sony SmartWatch Extension, a wearable mini Android device. Well, if you happen to have it on your wrist to check the time, your mail, or twitter updates, it may come handy to take a look also at the feast of the day.

The Orthodox Calendar for SmartWatch displays the feast or the saint of the day, and on the second screen (reachable via tap on the screen) – the information about the week and the period, as well as the fasting rules of the day. This is available both in Control and Widget mode.

Also, by swiping left and right, one can browse through the days. Enough for the start, if there proves to be more interest, more could be added.

The app is in Russian only and follows the old (Julian) calendar.

Статистика

Хотел представить небольшую статистику использования и популярности различных приложениях православного календаря для Андроид. Мог бы дать субъективное заключение что из-за этого что программа Eir3 Apps установлена на двойном количестве устройств чем прочих, так как и количество голосования наибольшее – она может быть названа самая популярная программа Православного Календаря для Андроид. Но, в любом случае, это только нынешнее состояние, которое можно быт изменено в будущем. Увидим.

Version 2.0 of the Orthodox Calendar apps

I am happy to announce the version 2.0 of the Russian and English version of the Orthodox Calendar for Android. (The update of the Greek version is still to come, expect its release in the near future!)

What is new?

First and most important – it includes the full calendar of saints and feasts! As there were some complaints that feasts that are celebrated in certain places were missing, I decided to include all saints.

An interesting novelty is the possibility to go to a paschal-related-date, both in the future and in the past. That makes it very easy to check when will the next Pascha be, or when will the next Lent begin…

The English version of the app offers the option to choose which calendar style to use – the new (Gregorian) or the old (Julian) one.

The English and Greek versions of the Orthodox Calendar made free

Christ has risen!

Glad to announce that through the generosity of some pious Orthodox Christians Orthodox Christians, all versions of the Orthodox Calendar apps (including all languages and all platforms) have been made free! Not only they will remain free, but you can expect some updates as well!

I could also promise (if God allows) expanding the number supported platforms 😉

Mention in your prayers the benefactors: Vladimir, Vladimir, Tatiana, Viachelsav and the reposed Ivan.

Orthodox Calendar for BlackBerry PlayBook

Glad to announce the release of the English version of the Orthodox Calendar for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet!

The Orthodox Calendar application for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, as well as my other calendar apps, includes the full calendar of feast and saints. It does not require internet connection, so it will work even if you are on places such as the Holy Mount of Athos, or on Mount Sinai.

The application is solely in English and can display both the old (Julian) and the new (Gregorian) calendar (there is a setting for the Calendar style).

Fasting rules are also displayed, but you are kindly asked not too rely too much on them, they are accurate, but you should consult your priest for the details.

The application enables browsing the calendar and jumping to a specified date, both in the past and in the future.

Uniquely, the application enables jumping to a certain date related to the Paschal cycle of the year, both in the past and in the future!

A link to the Prologue of Ohrid of St Nikolai Velimirovic for each day is also included.
