For example, I only want to add church members who are part of our men's Bible study. But the app only allows you to upload ALL your contacts from your device. This is highly concerning. I don't care what their privacy policy says; they can change that at any time. With that, I canceled my subscription and am deleting the app. What a disappointment. ### 4/5 — Categorizing My Prayers *2026-04-02, version 3.6.6* It would be very helpful to be able to categorize the My Prayers section like the Guided Prayers section. Is this possible? Also, it would be helpful to allow prayers to be added to the existing guided prayer categories. ### 3/5 — Great App, Needs Updated for IPad *2026-03-23, version 3.6.6* Right now the app works great, but the IPad view is something to leave desired, the thin phone-like view makes it hard to review and enter prayer requests, I need to be able to see it more like the desktop setup to get the most out of it. However, this app has been a life-saver in tracking prayers and concerns at churches I serve and am really thankful for this resource. ### 3/5 — Just my opinion *2025-10-19, version 3.6.5* I love how the prayers are broken into categories. I wish the scripture passages were longer. ### 4/5 — Answered Prayers Needs More Functionality *2025-09-19, version 3.6.5* I like the app so far but I’m providing this review primarily as a developer recommendation. The app allows you to add notes for a prayer which is good. But then it gives you the additional option to mark the prayer as answered. However, that feature basically acts like marking an item off of a list. It drops off of your prayer list and goes into the “answered” bucket. I’ll recommend a different/additional approach. There are many prayers we want to be reminded of on a regular basis. For instance, a friend’s cancer treatment. Or just regularly, daily prayers such as for “diligence at work” or “opportunities to share my faith.” There may be numerous, discrete answers to an ongoing prayer over time. It would be nice to be able to show they’ve been answered without removing the “Frank’s cancer” or “diligence at work” prayer from your rotation. It would also be nice to have a specific option to write notes about how a prayer is answered each individual time and have that logged and nested within the overall prayer. Those notes could also show up in the “answered” menu without having to remove the prayer item from your overall ongoing prayer list. ### 5/5 — Great app and some thoughts *2025-03-08, version 3.6.1* I like the app! The UI is simple and clean, which makes it very easy to use! Meanwhile, I wish it could some function that allows me to add multiple prayers under one title. I usually use people’s name as the title and put several items under the name. It’s hard to track/mark the items under one title. In general, I 100% recommend the app! ### 5/5 — Hands Down - the best prayer app! *2025-02-15, version 3.6.1* I love this app! On each prayer I have uploaded a favorite picture of my loved ones. This alone helps put my heart and mind in the right perspective for prayer! The user interface is great, and the functionality is simple but good! Try it! ### 4/5 — Great app only one small improvement needed *2025-02-06, version 3.6.1* Great App, to help strengthen prayer life although the addition of being able to start instrumental music during the prayer time would be a great addition and move it to five stars in my mind. There are times when I like to pray quietly but there are also times when having a soft instrumental playing helps me connect with God. ### 5/5 — A robust Christian resource *2024-11-17, version 3.5.9* This app integrates prayer and I like being connected to others in intercessory prayer. It would be nice if the prayer reminders popped up on AppleWatch like they do on FitBit. ### 5/5 — Staying attached to God *2024-10-22, version 3.5.8* This app keeps my prayers in front of me during a hectic and stressful day. I allows me to record the prayer request immediately and can stop and lift others including myself to a mighty God. ### 5/5 — Echo app *2024-10-20, version 3.5.8* Another App that helps me focus on God ### 5/5 — Amazing! 😃 *2024-09-08, version 3.5.7* So I was hoping for a way to help my missions newsletter folks more involved and up to date in my missions prayer needs, and I was also thinking about my own personal prayer journal… But I couldn’t see myself using a paper journal because I tend to have to rewrite and re-organize. This app, fulfills BOTH of what I was hoping for! 😀 I’ve had this app for about a week and I already love it. I am able to set up a prayer feed for those who follow my missions, and I’m SO happy that people will be able to comment on the prayers and share insights - and even be able to rejoice when they see the prayer marked as ‘answered’! I also like that I am able to ‘share’ prayers with specific individuals instead of a group. I’m really hoping many from my church end up using this app… it would be SUCH an awesome way to develop a community of intercessors, and most of all, family and unity. ### 5/5 — Echo *2024-08-02, version 3.5.7* Love the practicality ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Guided? *2026-05-20, version 3.6.6* Hi, what’s guided about the prayer? Is there supposed to be sound? I’d love to change my star rating, but right now it’s just a screen with a verse written on it. I want to use this for prayer walks. Let me know if it’s a glitch. ### 1/5 — Small Print can’t enlarge it *2026-03-14, version 3.6.6* Please make the Echo App with option to have larger print. The print is to fine and too small for some of us with vision problems. ### 1/5 — It would be great if they didn’t want money *2025-09-28, version 3.6.5* As soon as I downloaded the app they wanted me to sign up and pay money. This is what Christ was flipping tables about. ### 1/5 — Small Print can’t enlarge it *2025-06-11, version 3.6.5* Please make the Echo App with option to have larger print. The print is to fine and too small for some of us with vision problems. ### 1/5 — Loved the Widget But hate the border *2025-04-25, version 3.6.5* I really loved using the Echo widget as a quick reminder to pray for requests. The way it would surface prayers randomly on my home screen was meaningful and helpful. But I had to remove it because of the thick black border around the widget—it stands out like a sore thumb on my screen and completely throws off the aesthetic of my home page. It’s frustrating because the functionality is so good, but the visual design makes it hard to keep. I’d love to see an option for a borderless or more seamless design in a future update. ### 1/5 — Can No Longer View Prayers and Comments *2024-10-10, version 3.5.8* I can no longer view prayers or comments to prayers. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Cost!! *2024-06-03, version 3.5.6* It was good when I could pray for free. Then I learned about the cost!! ### 1/5 — Motivation *2024-05-01, version 3.5.4* Having to type a prayer everyday is time consuming and my wording on paper is not always readily available. My prayers are in my heart not my mind. ### 1/5 — UNNECESSARY AD FOR APP!!! *2023-05-13, version 3.4.5* Do not update to latest version! Please remove ad to download Echo app every single time we tap on a prayer request. When forced to click on it, then it’ll ask the same thing again! Please allow us to go back to the previous version that automatically took us to the prayer item in the app. Very redundant! ### 1/5 — Unable to sign up *2023-03-07, version 3.4.4* Yes, it is glitchy. I tried to sign up but could not get pass the log in screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — War against distraction *2026-07-19, version 3.6.6* Echo prayer is an answer to the battle of our mind. The enemy wants a prayerless people and distraction is how he achieves it. This app is helping me wage war against distraction! I want to be in a prayerFilled home, church, community- telling everyone about this app. ### 5/5 — God knows best! *2026-04-05, version 3.6.6* All my prayers come true. God knows best so our prayers come true with no perilous results! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-02-02, version 3.6.6* So far we’re loving this app for no ads, easy of use, can have groups and add pictures and comments, easy to read and edit. Good job! ### 5/5 — Clean and simple *2026-01-28, version 3.6.6* New user, but really like the interface - typing one name or prompt on a simple screen, swipe to next screen etc. The guided prayer also calm - just scriptures with the context reference, not linked to a Bible (good because this is prayer time not study time). Hoping the notifications can be turned off - only need one notification to say ‘pray’, having all the people’s names on the lock screen isn’t discreet and clogs up the notifications. Maybe will turn the notifications off and put the prompt ‘Open Echo’ onto another app. ### 5/5 — Glory *2025-12-27, version 3.6.6* My app of the year 2025. ### 5/5 — TRULY GOD GIVEN *2025-12-27, version 3.6.6* It helps me stay persistent in prayer asking God for the same thing everyday just like the widow asking the judge and just like Hannah asking God and Abraham ### 5/5 — A Beautiful Blessing in the Digital Age *2025-10-22, version 3.6.5* I’ve never written a review for an app in my entire existence. I’ve never cared to. Since downloading this app and setting a weekly limit, I’ve grown closer to God like never before. I truly recommend this app for every human. The 15$ a year is a perfect balance to support the developers while being infinitely worth it for the relationship it helps you strengthen with Yeshua. Writing down our requests and prayers has showed me the importance it is to record them because our memory is only so reliable. I genuinely hope to see this app flourish with thousands of new souls and continuing to grow with future updates. The random prayer reminders have encouraged me to pray for people I may have not spent as much time praying for otherwise. ### 5/5 — Good app but need way to import multiple prayers into feeds. *2025-07-21, version 3.6.5* As the title states adding prayers one at a time is not fun. I looked at your API calls and adding the ability to specify multiple prayers should not be hard. Please please please provide for the paid model. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-05-13, version 3.6.5* Love this app as it’s easy to use, list prayers, and set reminders. What I like the most is the ability to document answered prayers as I can truly see God’s blessings. ### 5/5 — Best developer award well deserved *2025-04-28, version 3.6.5* Best developer award winner. I love you bro, keep your developing skill higher star, God bless🎉❤️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
