Confessed List of Sins

Hello. While I find this app generally helpful I am wondering if there is any possibility of tracking the "number" of times a particular sin was committed, given that the priest will sometimes ask the penitent how often a sin was repeated since the last confession. Just wondering as I'm sure other Catholics have encountered similar situation.

Could be better

Can't write much in the Notepad. The page won't scroll up and, after a few lines, the keyboard covers what you're typing.

Can't add personal sins to flag for confession.

Can't save the date of last confession unless you use the Log which can't be edited.

So disappointed

After years of using this app, it keeps telling me my password is incorrect. You cannot change your password on this app. It is the password I have always used. It is even in my password keeper. Now all of my notes from years of using this app are gone! It is a great app, but I am so angry right now, I can’t even go to confession... how’s that for a review?
