Need help with Coptic Way, or found a mistake in a prayer or a reading? Email marcog@stmaryaz.org and we'll get back to you.
Where is my data stored?
On your device, and in your own iCloud if you are signed in, so your iPhone and iPad stay in step. There is no account to create. We, the developer, never receive any of it. The privacy policy lists what iCloud keeps.
My habits aren't showing on my other device.
Check that both devices are signed in to the same Apple Account and are online. In Coptic Way, Settings > Profile shows when it last synced, and Sync now asks iCloud straight away.
Why can't I start or join a circle?
Circles live in iCloud, so you need to be signed in to iCloud in the Settings app. Everything else in Coptic Way works without it.
How do circles work?
A circle is a few people keeping their habits together. Tap Start a circle in Settings > Circles, then send its link or code to the people you'd like in it. They open the link, or enter the code in Coptic Way to join. Each person chooses what the circle sees: that they kept their habits that day, which ones, or nothing at all. Anyone with the link or the code can join, so pass them only to people you know.
How do I leave a circle?
Settings > Circles, choose the circle, then Leave the circle. Your record in it is deleted. If you started the circle, End the circle deletes it for everyone.
I'm not getting my reminders.
Allow notifications for Coptic Way in iPhone Settings > Notifications > Coptic Way. In Coptic Way, Settings > Notifications shows each reminder; a reminder can be muted on one device and left on for another.
Where do the prayers and readings come from?
The prayers are from the Agpeya as published by St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church, Jersey City. The Old Testament is Brenton's translation of the Septuagint, numbered as English Bibles are (Psalm 23 is "The Lord is my shepherd"), and the New Testament is the King James Version; both have a few archaic words put into modern English.
How do I delete my data?
Leave or end your circles first, in Settings > Circles. Then delete the app from each device, and remove its copy in iCloud: iPhone Settings > your name > iCloud > Manage Account Storage, choose Coptic Way and delete its data. We hold no data about you, so there is nothing to delete on our side.
Does Coptic Way cost anything?
No. There are no purchases, subscriptions or advertisements.
