### 5/5 — In midst of mom-hood

*2026-03-26*

I’ve struggled to find the right medium to practice the Examen since having kids and job and living changes. This app has been a simple and easy way to practice this ancient form of prayer. I’m so glad I found it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you’ve found it helpful. If you have any suggestions feel free to send me an email from the app!

### 5/5 — Such a helpful app for my prayer life!

*2026-02-22*

I have to admit that I’m only a few days into using this app but I am really appreciating what it is adding to my prayer life. I wanted to add a daily examen to my life as a Lenten practice and I decided to try this app. It is beautifully and thoughtfully designed and I am already noticing how using this app is helping me to remember God’s presence in my life and helping me to have better responses to God and the various things that happen in the course of the day. The app has such a clean, attractive interface that it is a pleasure to use.

**Developer response:** Thanks for leaving such a kind review Amber! I’m glad you’re enjoying the app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-30*

Love seeing my answers when I click on the examines. Great way to stay centered and resting on God.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I’d love to hear if you have any ideas of how to improve it. 

All the best,
Taylor
