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. ### 4/5 — Personalizing the app *2024-10-04* I find the app very helpful for my daily examinations and hence prepare well for confession. I wonder if it was possible to write within the app on a daily basis instead of only being able to indicate omission and commissions to make the examination of conscience more personal ### 4/5 — Convenience *2024-05-10, version 1.2.2* This app makes it a lot easier to find a confession or mass in the area quickly. It’s very helpful for planning my day to find the confession time that works best for me. You can plan ahead by selecting a different day of the week. But a problem is that it had St. Philip Benizi as an option that I went to, to find out there wasn’t confession on that time/day. I checked the app and you have to click the “view more” button to see the days available. If they don’t have that time available for confession on Thursdays. It shouldn’t pop up when I’m looking at the options on Thursday. It takes away from the convenience by having to click the view more on every single option to be careful that you don’t drive somewhere for nothing. ### 4/5 — Overall good app *2023-12-26, version 1.2.2* Like the examination of conscience feature of the app. I wish, however, it came with a feature to record when we received the sacrament of reconciliation and perhaps a way to set a reminder for periodic reminders to take reconciliation. ### 4/5 — Love It *2023-10-29, version 1.2.2* Every now and then, I check out the App Store for any new Catholic confession apps and I came across this one and I love it!! I love the daily examen because I fail to do this regularly and this app is a great tool to show me my strengths and weaknesses. It reminds me a lot of the Baker examen that I have written in my Bible. I love the Chat option to find prayers for current problems and I love the walk through for confession! Thank you for creating it!! ### 4/5 — Great app except with the Examination of Conscience *2023-09-01* 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! **Developer response:** We just released an update to fix this issue, please check it out and let us know if you still have this problem! (If it's fixed, it would help us a lot if you could update your review.) ### 3/5 — Great app but it hangs on the 8th page *2023-04-17, version 1.0* The next button hangs and works inconsistently. Also the same problem occurs when swiping up. Other than that solid app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2025-10-16, version 1.2.2* App had potential but constantly locks up. Button actions don't work ### 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. ### 1/5 — App does not work *2024-03-25, version 1.2.2* The next button on the examination of conscience does nothing when you click on it which makes this app useless. ### 1/5 — So much potential *2024-03-23, version 1.2.2* This app has so much potential, and I was really excited to use it, but I can’t get past the opening screens. I choose “examination of conscience” and then try to choose my station in life but it freezes there and won’t go any further. Please fix the bugs because this could be a really great app. ### 1/5 — This doesn’t work *2024-02-25, version 1.2.2* It goes through 8 of the 10 commandments and gets stuck. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-09-02, version 1.2.2* Many of the screens don’t work and when you click on something it doesn’t click. Need to do a major overhaul on this app. Could be a lot better but it is terrible if one can’t use it ### 1/5 — I wish it worked but it's so glitchy *2023-09-02, version 1.2.2* I can't click "Next" sometimes at all, rendering the examination of conscience feature useless since I can't go all the way through it. ### 2/5 — App gets stuck on 8th commandment *2024-04-06, version 1.2.2* Can’t go past 8th commandment to finish the process. ### 2/5 — Locks Up *2024-03-02, version 1.2.2* Examination of conscience stops part way through. ### 2/5 — Still having problems *2023-07-01* The message part of the app is also broken. When I click on it the app cancels me out. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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! ### 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 ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2024-09-10, version 1.2.2* This app makes confession simple. As a recent convert, this is a game changer. Thank you to the developers, and I pray many Catholics discover this app! ### 5/5 — Go-to app for confession *2024-04-06, version 1.2.2* There absolutely is a market for this. It’s been a long-time since I last went to confession, and this app definitely helped demystify the process behind it, so I’m infinitely grateful. The interface is not only aesthetic but incredibly user friendly. That said, there are a couple places I hope this app can grow: instead of just having reminders sent for rosary/etc. have a link or this type of questionnaire that checklists/guides/shows you how to apply it too. Provide a list of commandments after reviewing as a kind of receipt or cheat sheet to use during confession. Great app! I will recommend to many! I hope they give it a chance. ### 5/5 — Everything I looked for *2023-06-11, version 1.2.2* The examination of conscience in most apps are difficult at best to use. This app makes it easy to go through the commandments, while giving questions in yes or no format. You can then select what you have done and at the end of the examination it lists them out for your use in Confession. This app offers so much more, but my main concern was the examination of conscience and it was a home run. ### 5/5 — Great confession app *2023-05-26, version 1.1.2* I use this app to find nearest Church for confession. Also love the examination of conscience process ### 5/5 — Best confession app I’ve ever used! *2023-05-05, version 1.1* I’ve downloaded several confession apps over the years, and this one is by far my favorite! ### 5/5 — Would be nice to add the list of mysteries *2023-03-05, version 1.0* When scheduling the alerts for the rosary, it would be nice to add the mystery or the list of mysteries to select from and then provide the mysteries on the scheduled time. ### 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
