Yes, apps, that’s the main news – an actual app is now available instead of only a widget. The app allows you to see the calendar for any day of your choice, in the past, or in the future.
Also, direct links to online resources are provided, relevant to the displayed date. Exciting, huh? And very useful, too! If you haven’t still, check these apps out!
The English version of the Orthodox Calendar widget is now available on the Android Market.
Apart from being in English, it follows the new calendar, like most of the English-speaking Orthodox Christians. It may be a bit harder to notice, but it is the same with the Thoughts by St Theophan apps – the Russian version follows the old calendar, while the English version – the new.
I bet you didn’t expect yet another new app 🙂
Ok, it’s only a widget. But I’d say it’s quite nice to have on your homescreen. It displays the feast or the saint of the day, according to the Julian Orthodox Calendar. The text is all in Russian, and so are the selected saints.
It may sound trivial for some, but have in mind that it doesn’t require internet connection, everything is programmed and contained in the app. So, it’ll work just fine if you are on Sinai, or Mount Athos (actually, there it will also be in concordance regarding the calendar which is used :-)) and have neither wi-fi nor GSM signal.
The app is available only on the Android Market, at least for the moment.
