User reviews

Much easier and convenient

I used to go on USCCB website and do my examination of conscience from the list they have provided. I would write them into a small booklet and go to confession with it. But this is much more easier and convenient. Keeps a tab on how many days since the last confession and a list of sins which you can add notes to. You can write down your penance and prayers such as the Act of Contrition are readily available.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind review! We truly appreciate your support ❀️

Thoughtful, Useful, and Continually Improving

I’ve really come to appreciate this app, both for what it does and for how responsive the developers have been to feedback.

What I find most helpful is the way the app takes my notes and helps summarize them into a clear, concise format for Confession. It helps me examine what I need to confess beforehand and then simply state my sins clearly when I’m thereβ€”rather than turning Confession into a therapy session.

The recent update made an already useful app even better. It now includes a password reset option, a Daily Examen, the ability to identify sins as mortal or venial, and a prayer library. I had previously contacted the developers about the lack of a password reset option, so I especially appreciate seeing that addressed.

It’s a thoughtful app that helps me prepare for the sacrament, stay focused during Confession, and continue reflecting afterward. I also appreciate that the developers seem genuinely interested in improving the app based on user feedback. Highly recommend!
