Wudassie Mariam (ውዳሴ ማርያም)
How does the app know today's portion?
It uses the day of the week on your phone. Monday opens Monday's reading, and so on through Sunday. Tap "Read today's portion" on the first screen. If the wrong day opens, check the date and time settings on your phone.
How do I read another day?
While reading, swipe left or right, or tap a day in the row of tabs at the top. On the first screen you can also tap any day under "The week's readings". The Contents tab lists every part of the book.
How do I change the language?
Choose ግእዝ (Ge'ez), ትግርኛ (Tigrinya) or አማርኛ (Amharic) on the first screen or in Settings. While reading, tap the letter button at the top. The app stays on the same day when you switch.
How do I make the text bigger, or read in the dark?
While reading, tap the sliders button at the top right. You can change the text size and line spacing, and choose a Parchment, Light or Dark background. The same options are in Settings.
How do bookmarks work?
Tap the ribbon at the top while reading to bookmark that place, and tap it again to remove it. Your bookmarks, and the place where you last stopped, are in the Bookmarks tab. Tap one to go straight back there.
Do I need the internet?
No. Everything is inside the app, so it works anywhere, including in church and on flights.
Why are some words red?
Headings and words printed in red in the prayer book are shown in red in the app too. The small "ገጽ" numbers between paragraphs are the page numbers of the printed book, so you can follow along with your own copy.
I found a mistake in the text. How do I report it?
Email geezcademy@gmail.com with the language, the day and the printed page number (shown as "ገጽ" in the text), and the word or line that is wrong. We check every report against the printed book.
I changed phones. Can I keep my bookmarks?
Bookmarks are stored only on your phone, so they don't move to a new phone. This is part of how the app keeps your data private.
Is my data private?
Yes. See the Privacy Policy above. The app collects nothing, and everything stays on your device.
How do I report a bug or suggest a feature?
Email geezcademy@gmail.com with your phone model and what happened.
