This app may whet someone’s appetite for praying a fuller Daily Office.
The Daily Office is a discipline of praying the scriptures (especially psalms and biblical canticles) – normally a good Daily Office will have quite a different feel, a different texture, season by season (so Advent will be different to Christmas to Lent and the Easter Season, for example).

There are plenty of Daily Prayer apps: The Church of England’s Daily Prayer; Australian Anglicanism’s ePray; The Daily Office; Mission St Clare; The Order of St Helena Daily Office; Universalis; The Daily Office…There are some other features of Tuia: it includes an Ignitian Examen, and a version of Night Prayer from ANZPBHKMA but lacking its flexibility (only Psalm 31 is prayed; only ‘Before the ending of the day…’ is sung).
