Новая версия (2.0) приложения «Мысли на каждый день года святителя Феофана Затворника» обеспечивает поддержку новых версий системы Android. Включает в себя совершенно новый и переработанный виджет, который отображает все содержание «Мысли дня».
Приложение теперь позволяет делиться содержанием по всем каналам, а не только через Facebook.
На данный момент обновлена только платная версия приложения, а в ближайшее время будет обновлена и бесплатная.
Android widgets have been available almost since day one of the platform, and they remain one of the most useful Android functionality.
Here’s an update to the Patericon app which provides this app with two different types of widgets:

The app previously named „Древний патерик“ (Ancient Patericon) has been updated and renamed to „Патерики“ (Patericons) as it now includes not only the Ancient Patericon, but also the Sketian Patericon and the book “Spiritual Meadow”. The full contents of these precious books is included.
The app is updated to support the latest Android versions, and more importantly, the latest Google Play Store requirements.
The other Patericon apps, „Скитский патерик“ , „Луг духовний“ (and the English version “Spiritual Meadow”) are still available on the Play Store, but they won’t be updated and thus, they will not be available to newer Android devices, due to the updated Play Store policy, which requires regular update of the apps.

Christ is Risen!
I’m very happy to announce that the Orthodox Christian Calendar for Android devices is available for free download from Google’s Play Store, again. It was erroneously suspended by Google, thus there was no chance for restoring the old store listing, with all the reviews, comments, history, etc.
This also means that you will need to remove the old version of the app before installing the new one (it’s not a problem to have them both installed, but you might get confused opening the old version by mistake).
But, the calendar is back online, updated and fixed to work with the newest Android versions. Here’s what’s new in version 4.1:
Download it for free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eir.synaxarion.eng
And please rate it.
Google determined that the English version of the Orthodox Calendar app for Android was a spam-app, and suspended it from the Play Store. I filed a complaint, but as an answer I only got excuses stating that the process is done and there is nothing more I can do. If I want to put the same app in the Play Store again, I will need to submit it under a different name.
That is a sad development of events, as the app is no spam-app, it was available in the Play Store for full 8 years, it had very good reviews, and was used by a lot of people (my access to the app statistics has been disabled as well, so I can’t provide you the actual values). Furthermore, the app makes no data usage, it doesn’t connect to the Internet, neither it has access to the device storage, so there is absolutely no privacy concern related.
The app will remain available in other app stores, like the Yandex Store, as well as for side loading, from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mp3oxjaahqghtz0/synaxarion_en_3.6.apk?dl=0
I published an update of the Fuzzy Watchfaces app for Sony SmartWatch2, which features a typo in the German Watchface, and adds a new language – Macedonian. These Watchfaces are my favourite, and the ones I most often use on my watch.
I was unpleasantly surprised to see the Sony SmartWatch2 app missing from Google’s Play Store (if you need it, you can download it from Sony’s site)… That just speaks of the abandonment of this platform by Sony itself.
SmartWatch2 is the best smart watch I’ve used, and also the best smart watch platform, in my opinion.
Thus, this is a sad development of events. I assume the reason are the new policies enforced by Google:
Therefore, there will be no updates to the SmartWatch apps, as I won’t be able to publish a functional version on the Play Store.
That said, if you happen to be a user of the Fuzzy Watchfaces app, and face any issues with the latest update, write me an email and I will provide you with an APK, which is unacceptable on the Play Store, but it’s perfectly functional on all Android devices.
Since there was a change in Google’s system of authentication, if your Email Writer for Sony SmartWatch app starts malfunctioning, just reinstall it, and make sure to allow the permissions, as shown on this screen.
Это знаменитый Алфавитный патерик (Изречения Отцов, Апофтегмата Патрум или Геронтикон, или наконец просто Патерик), но изложенный не по персоналиям, а тематически. Одна из центральных книг Церкви, вобравшая в себя опыт величайших подвижников. Никая другая книга (кроме Библии) не переписывалась христианами так часто как Патерик. Это собрания крайне простых, лаконичных слов.
Доступный всем, Патерик напоминает самые основы христианской этики – написанный огнём Духа, Патерик содержит величайшие Его откровения. Древний Патерик – по сути ряд коротеньких историй или высказываний Отцов Пустыни. Интересно, что эти Отцы – почти все копты (коренные жители Египта), часто просто безграмотные – однако именно к ним стремились попасть лучшие представител античной интеллигенции. Хаушер, исследователь восточнохристиаснкой духовности писал о значании Патерика: “если изучаете историю духовности или духовной жизни Церкви, увидете, что что каждый раз, когда в Церкви наступает духовное возрождение, отцы пустыни становятся заново актуальными, либо вследствии этого возрождения, либо как его причина, или и то, и другое одновременно”.
