Surprisingly well produced…and can’t wait to pray more!
Initially, I was a bit skeptical with the app. I was afraid it would be glitchy, cheesy, poorly-designed, not user-friendly, not have good content, etc etc. But after using it for a couple days, I’m actually very surprised at how well-made and designed this app is. The background music/sounds are great. The meditations are deep and contemplative. The daily readings and reflections help further my understanding of Scripture and my faith. Someone mentioned how they didn’t like how they background music/sounds didn’t pause when they hit pause but for me personally I love that the background keeps playing. Sometimes I just like to have the calming background music/sounds to continue playing for moments where I need to reflect a little longer than prompted or to just simply have on to pray on my own. One thing however, I did put on a meditation before going to bed with the background sound and fell asleep shortly after the meditation was over but the background sound was still playing all night until I woke up! Not sure how much battery that took up! But overall, really impressed with the app and I’m looking forward to going through all the other content and continue praying with this app! Definitely will donate and contribute to this awesome app! Thank you!

WOW, what a beautiful, thoughtful review! Thank you!! I am sharing your beautiful words with the Amen team and we are incredibly grateful you are enjoying God's word with us! God bless you and please feel free to reach out and to us at help@amenapp.org with any issues, concerns, or feedback! 🙏🏼
A little different app
Thank you so much for making this app! There are lots of prayer apps out there; simply put, this has some different features:
1) this has the ability to hear scripture ( the daily readings), pause it & the background sacred music continues- great for processing what you just heard.
2)also the music will continue to play after you've finished the evening (or whatever)meditation
3) navigation- very simple!! More important than most think! The page is laid out beautifully, with title AND picture! I think you may discovery your own favorite features!
One small comment ( you KNOW there has to be one!) the pictures for the title are beautiful- can these not be kept onscreen instead of the same one constantly used(boring). Thanks again. High praise!!

Thank you, Maria, thank you for your wonderful review and for praying with us!! Blessings to you! 😇
Perfect for those seeking quiet prayer time
A lot of my prayer happens in the car. And not all of my drives are long distance, so sometimes I only have five, 10, 15 minutes in the car. But I enjoy making the most of that time by praying and I like the feature with the meditations that you can choose the length of time. That is my favorite feature of this app because sometimes I don’t have 20 minutes to spare at that moment. I have done most variations of the Meet meditations, and they are all impactful, and thoroughly enjoyable. This app is amazing and I have shared it with everyone at my Parish’s mom’s group.

For Such A Time Like This!!
As the world and church seem to be crumbling around us comes this amazing Catholic App!
I have been searching for something for a long time for a Catholic prayer/meditation app and the search has been futile, until now.
This answers my needs. As a busy mom of many kids, jobs, and homeschooling I don’t have much time for a sit down devotional but I can play one on my phone !
It has helped me stay grounded in God’s word and remain in peace many a day now.
I do love that you can pick your time limits and there are so many options of prayers and devotions!! While I realize it probably wasn’t developed for children, our children have taken to listening to the Bible stories before bed. What could be better than that?!! Thank you for making it free because there are many of us larger families that can’t afford these apps in these tough times.
You truly are a blessing for the church.
One suggestion also is to include the teaching/meditation/content of the Catechism which we most are lacking in.
I am definitely NOT complaining as this app is awesome!!!
I have been telling all my friends!!
Thanks a million 🙏♥️🌻

Fantastic
I love this app! It work perfectly for everything I need. I wanted to try Halo for meditations at night and such, but I’m a student and can’t spend the money on that app. This app is free and super awesome, please keep it that way! I get a little annoyed when good Catholic apps cost money to buy, because then they aren’t accessible to everyone. I was also switching between a few different Rosary apps, but I didn’t really like any of them. Your app fit all of my needs! I can listen to it on the go, it doesn’t glitch and get stuck on any of the prayers, it’s not finicky, I live it! I also love that you can chose how long for the meditations especially for sleep.
When I first downloaded the app, I couldn’t sign in after I created my account, so I went to the website and was able to contact customer support. They got back to me within a few hours and had fixed my problem. I didn’t even need to do anything. I just deleted the app, she reset my account, then I downloaded it and signed in! Ver fast, efficient, and friendly.
Some suggestions for the future: the Latin Rosary would be fantastic as well as an option for it to read/explain the mysteries for new Catholics who may not have them memorized yet. Also, if you could add streaming Gregorian chant, that would be fantastic! Also, some Marian sleep meditations would be nice.
Thank you so much for this app, it’s been a Godsend!

Great Prayer Tool ✝️
I stumbled upon this app by God’s grace and absolutely love it! I love the thought provoking questions in the daily reflection, the quality of the app itself, reading the bible in a year, and the many choices it offers. My one and only question to the developers would be: “Is there any way to offer us the ability to read the prayers as they are spoken so we can participate in prayers that are new to us? It would offer us visual learners a way to learn new prayers.”
All in all, this is a great app to help you in your relationship with God. Well worth the space on your phone so you can pray without ceasing. ❤️

Wonderful tool
Thanks for the work behind implementing this wonderful app. It is a wonderful tool that I use for the:
• daily Mass readings, reflections and insights into it, as well as other features like
• meditations (which can be increased or lessened in duration) on different emotions we encounter in life and
• praying the Rosary (even while I am at work).
A suggestion- having a small reflection before each decade and a possible prayer intention would be helpful.
Once again, brilliant work! God bless.
