## What is iConfess?

Confession is such an important sacrament for us as Catholics, and yet it can be intimidating and difficult to go to regularly. iConfess was designed to break down these barriers so that we can benefit more often from this wonderful sacraments and leave lives of holiness.

Confession can be intimidating: Confessing your sins to priests is hard and nerve-racking, which is why iConfess walks you through how to make a good confession. Part of this includes completing an examination of conscience, so that you can include all the sins since your last confession.

Confession can be hard to find: Often times, we aren't familiar with the confessions times at the churches near us. iConfess allows you to easily find churches near your location, and shows you the relevant confession or mass times, according to your preferences.

Confession can be difficult to do regularly: Sometimes we can go months or years without confession because we simply never get around to it. iConfess provides the ability to set reminders to create a variety of spiritual habits, including going to confession regularly.

The goal of all of these features is to enable every Catholic to dive deeper into the sacrament of Confession, so that they can receive forgiveness and continue on their path to sainthood. If you have any requested features or any feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out: iConfessionApp@gmail.com

### 4/5 — Definitely Useful

*2026-01-27, version 1.2.3*

This app has helped me to prepare a list of sins that need to be confessed and to keep track of them so I can go back in time to see if I’m doing better today.

### 5/5 — Great app except with the Examination of Conscience

*2026-01-21, version 1.2.3*

This app was just what I was looking for! I downloaded it to my iPad, and it functioned beautifully, but when I did the same for my iPhone, the examination of conscience gets stuck on the 8th commandment. You cannot go forward from there. I have deleted and reinstalled the app on my iPhone and still get the same results. 

I would give it five stars if this issue is resolved!

### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2025-10-16, version 1.2.2*

App had potential but constantly locks up. Button actions don't work

### 3/5 — App not working

*2025-07-21, version 1.2.2*

I did attempt to use the app and I love the offered information and guidance. However, I was unable to choose my proper id as married and I think it would be really nice if the date of last confession was listed/recorded as I try to attend every 30 days as the Immaculate Mary requests.

### 3/5 — Exam of Conscious Broken

*2025-07-05, version 1.2.2*

Steps through the commandments thoughtfully. App hangs at 8th commandment and doesn’t continue.

### 4/5 — OK but AI ⛓️‍💥

*2025-05-21, version 1.2.2*

It has a nice design, the examinations are easy and seamless but the AI integration is broken.  Last update was more than a year ago so I suspect it probably won’t get fixed any time soon.

### 3/5 — Daily examination of conscience not working.

*2025-03-02, version 1.2.2*

I only see the initial prayer but nothing else happens.

### 5/5 — Great App for everyone

*2024-12-22, version 1.2.2*

My daughters and I use this app and it’s great! They do not have their own phones and I let them use mine to prepare for confession every month. Before I felt they’re not doing the examination of the conscience, but now with the app, they get the list of what they’ve failed and bring it into the confession. The app is definitely making the confession easier for them!

### 1/5 — Looked Prominently on

*2024-11-20, version 1.2.2*

Will not allow marriage as a selection. Each screen locks up. Seems only half complete.

### 5/5 — Need to fix a lot of bugs

*2024-10-13, version 1.2.2*

The idea of the app is great, but every time I tried to used froze and do anything. I have to restart every time
