Answered Prayer?

I like the app, but I can’t find a place to record how prayers were answered. It’s not enough to just delete the request.

Not a fan

At first try, this is not a well engineered iPhone app. PrayerCards added cannot be shared between iPhone & iPad. The text entry box is too small, just 1 line can be seen while typing. I can’t see the full request that I entered at one time. The suggested spelling of words on the iPhone is disabled. I’ll continue to use the Notes app.
I hope the donation I gave for this app will help pay to improve it.
Don’t buy this app until they come out with a better version!

Thank you for your feedback! - Currently prayer cards indeed do not share automatically between iOS devices connected to the same account. This feature was left out of the first (1.x) release of the App, but is in development. - Which text entry box is too small? ('name' and 'prayer request'?) This is something that will be considered for a next release. The prayer card input was modeled after the iOS Contacts App, display and editing, etc, considering that many people using the App might be familiar with the Contacts App as a logical way to maintain 'cards with data'. The 'name' input in the Contacts App works alike the 'name' input in the PrayerCards App. The input for the 'name' and 'request'(s) could be changed to work alike the 'Notes' input in the Contacts App which would allow for full display of the input (screen size permitting). (This is a good suggestion). - The suggested spelling of words (in the 'request') was disabled for a specific technical reason. This however has been resolved in version 1.1.1. Would you like to help/support as BETA tester? If so, please contact us via the Contact form on aprayinglife.com.

Really good start! Enjoying this app

This is a great app and something I’ve been specifically searching for. 3 things I’d love to see are 1) an Apple Watch app would be great. 2) the ability to add a one time prayer and times to pray for people on a specific day. 3) Siri shortcuts. I’d love to be able to say hey Siri start prayer etc and have it open to a specific spot.

Again great start and it has been really helpful and useful to my prayer time. I’m excited for this app to be further developed and happy to support the ministry. Thanks!

Thank you for your feedback! - There are currently no plans for a version on Apple Watch, but that does not mean this might not change in the future. - When selecting Weekly or Monthly monthly in a prayer card a 'popup' with the days in the week or month should show up so specific days can be selected. Could you further explain what you mean with 'one time prayer' via the Contact form on the aprayinglife.com website? - Due do backward compatibility the App currently does not use Siri Shortcuts. As is learned how old the oldest iOS is the users of the App use the backward compatibility will be reduced and functions alike Siri Shortcuts will be integrated.

Awesome app

Best way to grow spiritually!! A must for the faithful believer! Get this app now

fabulous

I was using a Flashcards app before I discovered this app for listing scriptures to pray over others. I have been adding my own Scriptures, also. I love is that I have my prayer cards with me all the time!!

Thanks!

I am very much enjoying the app! Thank you for the work put into it so far. In addition to being able to add scripture to the different categories of scripture, which I did figure out, I would like to have the ability to add my own categories. Certain words came to my mind, such as Hope, Perseverance and Depression, that we’re not in your categories. It made me realize we all think a bit differently and being able to add categories and/or edit yours may be helpful. Thanks again!

Thank you for your feedback! Glad to hear you are enjoying the App. Work on the App is ongoing. Adding a 'subject' (or 'topic' or 'category') to the "scripture reference library" is on the list of things 'to do'.

Love it.

Would love for the Bible passage menu to be a touch more accessible.

Great App

We are reading A Praying Life as an organization and making prayer key to our culture. Will be recommending this to all our employees.

Yay! I’ve been Waiting For This App!

After reading the book, I started using prayer cards. This method of focused prayer worked well for my personality and I shared it with my Teen Bible Study Class. However, as a few years past, my card stack got large. I’m on the go a lot and I desired more portability. I tried to use other “flash card” apps but I didn’t keep up with the process. I’m so glad that the app integrates scriptures. I expected that I would have to type in a scripture. Bonus! I appreciate that the app integrates with my contacts and I can send a text or an email to encourage the people that I am praying for ... this too is a really sweet feature! This app is just what I’ve been desiring! Yay God! I believe this tool will help me to be more disciplined with praying for ministry and extended family ... I know this is the first release, but does this app synchronize across devices?

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to learn that the App, although the first release, covers several areas and functions as well as it does. Scripture integration and maintenance via the 'Scripture Reference Library' (the list that pops up when a scripture reference is chosen), is an important (and complex!) feature, especially considering that this works in several languages with Arabic (right to left reading/writing) being added at the moment. The App currently does not synchronize across devices. This however is a feature that is on the feature request list and likely will be added in the near future.

Debbyroni

Thought I would do prayer cards, but am finding I like digital version. Agree with another reviewer that being able to select day of week & date of month would be nice. Also, custom scripture, so I can put in something other than selections provided, although they are great. Thank you.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! Optional selection of day(s) in the week for the weekly prayer cards and day(s) in the month for the monthly prayer cards is planned for version 1.1. (The next major release). Custom scripture is already available. In the 'scripture reference library' (the popup list with all the scripture references) tab the "+" in the top right. A new screen will popup with 'subjects', 'scripture index' (i.e. Ephesians 6:12, etc) and 'scripture text' an area where the text from the scripture can be 'pasted' into from a Bible App or from a Website. The latest update of the App (Version 1.1.x) has the selection of day(s) in the week or month. The selection is not required.
