Hey guys,
I was told about an App for iPhone and itouch called iCoptic
I was wondering if any of you had any idea about it(when it's coming out or anything at all)
you can visit their website... Just google icoptic and you will get to their website:..  From what I understand from that site, they have already released a first version, alhough I couldn't find anything on my App Store...

Any help greatley appreciated

    OK Mina, but what is it going to do? I mean, what are the functionalities of this app?

    Guys, I've just seen an app called "myPocketProf"  - its free on the App store - apparently someone has uploaded a Coptic Theology Course on there.

    Its not a bad app actually - you can save and synchronize your study notes, and share them as well. I think you can also add an online course - someone should seriously think of uploading a "Teach Yourself Coptic Course" on there - lol...

    By the way, what apps do you guys have? or use the most?

    if u want a good religious App, there is the Bible, YouVersion... you can download offline translations in multiple languages, including NKJV (i beleive its the only free Bible App that has NKJV offline) it has French, Arabic, Spanish and a whole bunch of other languages (also asian languages)...

    Thanks!

    God bless the person who is creating these apps... I think they are great ways to evangelise.

    will it be an offline app? or will it only work on iphone?

    No idea,
    I don't know the people who are developing these apps. Who are they?

    I thought myPocketProf was pretty good actually. Has anyone else tried this? I've got all my personal notes stored on my phone.. I'm always forgetting something.

    Is anyone here interested in creating a Coptic Language online course on it??

    copticpharaoh, thank you so much for sharing this!!! I love it, I'm listening to my favourite book (Philippians :)) on it right now.
    Another good one is Blue Letter Bible (http://www.blueletterbible.org/) or just click this link: http://www.blueletterbible.org/biblePlayer/mp3bibleplayer.cfm?translation=nkjv&book=1&chapter=1 ; and you can change the version, the book in the Bible, and the chapter.

    Oh by the way, does anyone know how to get the Bible onto a cell phone (not iphone)...I have a fido nokia...? I'd appreciate your help, as I am technologically-challenged lol :P

    Hello everyone,

    This thread came to my attention through one of our youth, because he knows we are developing this app.  iCoptic is an application developed as a part of a larger project called the coptic library.  The aim of this project is to develop an online coptic digital library of thousands of coptic resources (searchable full volume books, audio, video) as well as applications for mobile devices to access these tromendous resources.  iCoptic specifically was developed as a tool that contains a coptic calendar, daily readings including synexarium, Agpeya, ...etc for the iphone.  It will be released very soon to the public through the app store.  Depending on the success and feedback we get, we are also contemplating developing for other mobile platforms including blackberry, android, and windows mobile.

    This is a big step for us, and the bigger project needs all of your prayers.

    One of the best bible programs out there i reakon is called e-sword.This program is amazing i have been using it for a few months now and i love it. It allows you to compare different biblesKJV,NKJV etc. Also there are commentaries available for download such as fr tadros malaty,ante-nicean fathers also matthew henrys. It even allows you to highlight a word and you can find out the original greek and sahidic text and its meanings. Arabic modules also available.
    I recomend this program to all it is amazing. There is also a pocket pc version as well and it works fine.
    thanks guys PPFM

    For those of you who want an application for the agpeya alone, an app for that has just been released a couple days ago in the app store.
    Go to the iTunes store in your itunes and type "Agpeya: Book of Hours" and you should find it. It includes all 8 hours of the agpeya (including the veil hour) with some audio psalms and Coptic text. However, it does cost $4.99 to buy but all proceeds go to the Coptic orthodox church in Bolivia.

    God Bless!

    In Christ,

    Great App But i have one suggestion IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF U could possibly put the psalmody on this app i would get it for sure
  • isaachtisaacht
    Version 1.0 provides us with a code base upon which we can expand to add more features and future functionality.  Good idea though!!!
