What’s New Version TextMSG
Thank you for serving! This update makes your reminders clearer and more dependable:
• Altar reminders now show the altar by name, not just a number
• Choose how you're reminded — push notification or text message
• New prompts make it easy to turn on notifications or text alerts so you never miss an assignment
• More reliable push-notification delivery behind the scenes
• Fixes for updating your phone number, plus stability and performance improvements
Description
Coordinate every liturgical responsibility in your Coptic Orthodox parish — from your phone.
Coptic Church Assignments replaces the spreadsheets, group chats, and printed schedules priests, leaders, and deacons juggle every week. Daily readings, altar service rotations, event check-ins, and the daily Synaxarium all live in one place — on every servant's phone, in real time.
Daily Readings — Annual, Lent, Holy Week, Pascha, Fifty Days, Apostles' Fast
Open today's Pauline, Catholic, Acts, Psalm, and Gospel in Arabic, English, or Coptic. Every liturgical season aligned to authoritative source text.
Reading Assignments
Admins and leaders assign specific readings to servants for any service. Servants get a push notification, accept or decline in-app, and see the full passage — never just a verse reference.
Smart Altar Service Scheduling
Generate fair, rotation-aware altar schedules in seconds. Configure service days, rank composition (Reader / Subdeacon / Deacon / Archdeacon), named altars per location, and serving-day preferences per servant. The algorithm respects parent-child altar pairing for minors, language coverage per altar, gap-week constraints, and cross-church conflicts. Smart defaults skip dates already covered by earlier schedules.
Edit Anything, Anytime — Even After Publishing
Swap a deacon, add someone new, or rebalance after a last-minute change. Every edit notifies the affected servants automatically. A preview shows where a new deacon will land and whether they're already committed elsewhere in the same period.
Cross-Church Deacon Lookup
Multi-parish admins can search any deacon across every church they manage to see exactly when and where they're scheduled — including past 12 months of history. Swap, unassign, or remove from any schedule in one tap.
PDF Export & Sharing
Export any altar schedule as a clean PDF — per-altar grid or date-grouped list. Share via Email, SMS, WhatsApp, or Files in two taps.
Check-In & Attendance
Mark yourself or your family checked in at any active service. Auto check-in supported per parish for regular attendees. Leaders see live attendance counts.
Daily Synaxarium
Commemorations of the saints in Arabic and English, alongside the day's readings.
Multi-Church Support
Belong to more than one parish? Subscribe to multiple churches, switch between them with a tap, and configure preferences per parish independently.
Built With Priests, Deacons, and Servants
Designed in close collaboration with Coptic Orthodox clergy and lay servants. Respects rank-based serving, parent-child altar pairing, multi-language coverage (Arabic + English + Coptic) per altar, and feast-day flagging for manual review before publishing.
A quiet, organized, faithful service — for everyone in the church.

Build 887095147vAltar scheduling2026-06-18 17:05:15
What's New in v1.6.0
Altar scheduling — reminders & reassignment
Smarter reminders: confirmation reminders now show the correct date/lead-time (no more "in 48 hours" on a service weeks away), and never nag about past services. Leaders can remind an individual deacon — both pending and already-accepted — right from the schedule, event, and deacon-search screens.
Better reassignment: the replacement picker now shows each candidate's rank, age, preferred altar, last-served date, and fairness indicators (assignments this cycle, accepted/rejected, "serving elsewhere that day") so leaders can pick fairly at a glance.
Can't make it after accepting? Deacons can now Reject an assignment they'd already accepted; it returns to the leader for reassignment and notifies them.
Altar scheduling — management
Generator fix: schedules now fill all configured slots per altar (previously could leave one empty even with eligible deacons).
Manual add: leaders can add a deacon to a specific altar/event — filling open slots — from both the schedule and event screens, on draft and published schedules, without regenerating.
Redesigned Schedule Details screen: a single full-height, easy-to-scroll list, a slimmer header, tidier action menu, and past dates grayed out so you focus on what's upcoming.
Terminology: "Altar Servers" is now "Altar Deacons" throughout the app.
Departed names / commemorations
Richer saved names: add first/last name, relationship, and date of departure.
Annual memorials: mark a departed loved one as recurring, and their name is automatically included in the first Sunday Divine Liturgy after the anniversary, every year.
Liturgy reminders: an optional notification inviting you to submit departed names for an upcoming liturgy, plus a heads-up when a name is added — with a new opt-out toggle.

What's New in Holy 50
ALTAR SCHEDULING
• Fixed the service-day filter so a Sunday-only schedule no longer pulls in Wednesday or Saturday events.
• New altar filter at the top of Schedule Settings — pick which altars this generation run covers; off-altar events disappear from Service Dates automatically.
• Smart date defaults: Start auto-snaps to the first selected service-day not covered by an existing schedule; End snaps to the last service-day in the duration window.
• New "Total Count" mode lets you skip rank composition when rank availability varies per event.
• Generation now explains WHY slots were left empty (e.g. "8 deacons can't serve on Sunday").
POST-GENERATION EDITS
• Reassign deacons in published schedules — confirmation prompt + automatic notifications to both the displaced and new deacon.
• Add Deacon to an existing schedule with a preview that shows where they'll land and any other commitments in the same period.
• Per-schedule search by deacon name.
DEACON LOOKUP
• Manage Users → View Schedule opens a cross-church search for any deacon's altar assignments.
• Filter by schedule, date range, or "include past 12 months." Per-row Swap, Unassign, and Remove actions.
MY ASSIGNMENTS
• In-app Accept and Reject buttons on pending altar assignments.
• Leader gets notified on either action.
SHARING
• Export any altar schedule as a PDF in Grid or List layout. Share via Email, SMS, WhatsApp, Files, or any other system share target.
MANAGE ALTARS
• New Location picker so admins explicitly map each altar to a calendar location — no more address strings appearing in altar names.
QUALITY
• Refined Coptic readings throughout (Annual + Lent + Holy Week + Pascha + Fifty Days aligned to source text).
• Names everywhere now use first + last name from the profile, never email.
• Profile completion prompt now triggers for legacy accounts missing names.
• Many smaller fixes and polish.
