My new prayer journal

I really love this app for keeping track of prayers I don’t want to forget. The ability to customise the app with different colour palettes is a great touch, and I’ve really enjoyed using the guided prayers on days when I’m not sure what to pray. Overall, it’s a fantastic app that I’d highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Updated IR is so nice to use

I admit I wasn’t a regular user of the first IR app. The changes include a high quality design and ease of use. Both elements allow me to pray with some freedom and freshness that my prayer life has been lacking. I really like the changes and invite you to give it a try.

Love the new app

I appreciate the library of guided prayers and the ability for those to integrate with personal prayers. Also the option to have music play while praying through requests is clutch! Well done on the new app!

*I didn’t use the old app much as it seemed more clunky and not user friendly.

Missing many of the old features

I’ve been using the Inner Room app for quite a while now and it’s really transformed my prayer life. The old app I’ll admit had lots of things that made it overly complicated and cluttered, and I do like that the redesign has tried to simplify things. But in doing so, I feel they’ve lost some really helpful features from the old app. For example, being able to set a timer, (I know sometimes you don’t want to be restricted by a timer, but being able to choose if you want it or not would be really helpful, rather than completely taking it away) or being able to have a prayer be put in multiple different playlists (or what are the equivalent of pots) I’m also not a fan of waiting to listen to God at the end of your whole time of prayer, with the old app, it put aside time as you went along for each prayer, making it feel much more like a two way conversation with God, rather than I’m speaking for 20 minutes, then I’ll let God speak for 2 minutes at the end.
There’s very little information anywhere in the app explaining how to use it or what the different functions and stuff do, so if there are things you could do with it, you might not realise unless you spend time playing with it and working it out for yourself.
I do really appreciate some of the ways they’ve taken on board feedback from users though and really tried to simplify it and make it more user friendly. I just feel it still needs a few tweaks.
I’ll be sticking to the old app whilst it’s still usable as this just doesn’t work for my needs in its current state.

Thank you for recognising the work that's gone into the redesign while also sharing where it isn't yet meeting your needs.

Poor replacement

Enjoy using the original app - especially the daily rhythms. Not having those on the new app (which is not easily to use) rules it out for me. Sticking with the old one - as long as it is active

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the new version hasn't met your expectations. We know the Daily Rhythms feature was a meaningful part of many people's prayer lives, and we understand your disappointment at not seeing it in the new app. We've also heard feedback about the ease of use of the new experience, and we're paying close attention to what users are telling us. Thank you for your support of Inner Room over the years. Feedback like yours helps us understand what's most valuable to our community as we continue to improve the app.

Back to Basics

I appreciate they kept the basics: prayer lists and grouping. I miss the time functionality. That’s a huge missing feature. Please consider bringing that back.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we're glad to hear the prayer lists and grouping features are continuing to serve you well. We appreciate you highlighting the timer functionality. We know this was an important feature for many people and we've heard similar feedback from others in the Inner Room community. We're actively listening to suggestions like yours as we continue to develop and improve the app. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and help shape the future of Inner Room.

First time user

What a great idea, up till now I just used my notes app , but this is superb, looks great , nice and slick , just enough customisation , not too cluttered - and love the logo of “I “ being the door opening to the inner room , sweet.
Well done great design

Helping grow desire to pray

Simple. Elegant. Grateful.

I prefer the old app

I think the old version was much better. The new one has eliminated a lot of the features that I really liked about the app. Setting a timed playlist doesn’t seem to be an option anymore

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the new version hasn’t been a positive experience for you. We know that many people built prayer rhythms around features in the previous app, and we understand how frustrating it can be when those workflows change. The timed playlist feature from the original app is something we’ve heard feedback about from other users as well. We’re actively listening to suggestions about features people would like to see return or improved in future updates. Thank you for taking the time to let us know what you miss from the previous version. Feedback like yours helps us shape the future of Inner Room.

Wonderful app

Thank you!

Best Prayer App

I have found this app so helpful. No more Prayer Diary - it’s all here! Highly recommended!

Brilliant as my prayer journal

I downloaded this app suggested on a 24/7 email and so glad to be able to write on and prayer over the things the Lord revealed to me during my time of silence and solitude on a prayer walk - such a blessing to be able to reflect on His promises and prompting.

Whyy?

I normally do not leave critical reviews - people have worked hard and my opinion is only my opinion. But the new Inner Room is so awful I just have to be honest. It’s a redesign that’s worse than the original - which was awesome - in every way. The appearance is so ugly, it doesn’t feel well-designed, and putting prayer in a Pot? What was wrong with the board and praylists we had? I looked around this redesign and I knew immediately there was no way I could use it. If the old app stops working, I won’t replace it with this. I’m so sorry 24/7 but I can’t say anything else. Even the icon looks like JR and the style just isn’t right. Maybe it can be saved, but that would take a second complete redesign.
