Therefore, in a busy life my time for prayer can be well spent. I can also use the space to reflect and slow down, when I have more time to contemplate. ### 5/5 — Ah, the Jesuits! *2024-03-09* They have done it again. I am one of 13 children reared by a man schooled by the Jesuits. His example for all of us -230+ strong- I believe has continued to make this world a better place. It is the encouragement found through the Jesuit ministry that calls many of us to persevere when life gets so difficult. I owe my receipt of this devotional from a daughter. How grateful I am! ### 5/5 — Daily *2024-01-10, version 2.4* Best Jesuit spiritual exercise since daily Mass at St Mary’s chapel Boston College ### 5/5 — Essential app *2024-01-09, version 2.4* I’ve been using this app for a while now…it’s part of my daily practice. So grateful for it! ### 5/5 — My go to scripture and prayer reading *2023-11-24, version 2.4* Perfect for daily focus and easy to use. It’s right there at my fingertips each day. Reading is not too long to allow me to get distracted. Prayer and meditation is thought provoking. ### 5/5 — Daily meditation *2023-11-19, version 2.4* This is a wonderful short daily prayer to keep me on the right path and to go back to during the day .. ### 5/5 — All I need is you, My Lord…you are my portion and cup. *2023-11-11, version 2.4* This is a beautiful, meaningful way to start your day. Here you can allow yourself to quietly sit in the presence of God…as you read and contemplate the scripture, the reflection, and prayers so graciously provided to us through the Jesuits. I am truly grateful for this app. It’s helping me to establish morning time with God. May God’s blessings be upon all those using this app…in Jesus’s name I pray. AMEN! ### 5/5 — New Beginning *2023-11-09, version 2.4* As I reconnect with my spirituality this has been a easy way to re-engage. Reading and reflection in the morning and examen before bed. ### 5/5 — Jesuit Prayer *2023-09-14, version 2.4* Gives a good focus for prayer, and a sense of peace ### 5/5 — A good base in contemplative prayer *2023-07-16, version 2.4* The starting image is a good start to pause with, the scripture is aligned well with the Catholic Liturgy of the day… the scripture is not too long offering a good place to contemplate. The commentary is rich and the closing prayer draw this to a good close. The daily Examen process is included to. ### 5/5 — Kick your day off! *2023-07-14, version 2.4* I use 4 apps daily. Always start with Jesuit Prayer first to set the tone! ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2023-06-24, version 2.4* Best way to rest and reflect on scripture! It has literally been lifesaving for me. Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — My Morning Start *2023-06-01, version 2.4* Look forward to it each morning as part of my daily prayers! ### 5/5 — Simple - To The Point *2023-03-16, version 2.4* The point is to clear distractions, tune in to God’s presence and mission, then reengage. This app helps me get there and stay there😇 ### 5/5 — Simple, powerful messages *2023-01-05, version 2.4* I’ve been using this app for many years. The reflections are very simple, but powerful and so relative to my life. I love that I can take it with me everywhere I go. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Good Content/bad performance *2021-05-19, version 2.4* Usually this app has good content for reflection. I appreciate that. But so often the app opens only to a blank screen. I can refresh and refresh and refresh and it never opens to the prayerful content. Does not make it easy to use. ### 3/5 — Love the app but recent glitches *2025-09-08, version 2.4* I have been happily using this app for a long time. Over the last couple of weeks, however, I sometimes get a blank screen when I open the app. Please fix this. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Clunky but good *2022-10-13, version 2.4* Content is good, UI and backend is clunky. ### 3/5 — Great but a shame ... *2018-07-15, version 2.4* Great app. It’s a shame that the virtual prayer cards are in a very small font. They are unreadable on an iPhone where I use this app. Also, your contact email doesn’t work on an iPhone. Other than that, it’s a good app. ### 3/5 — Content is great but the tech could be better *2017-09-09, version 2.4* This is a well put together, focussed app. A big thank you to all those who contribute. However, it could really do with a background download for two reasons. Firstly, internet connections are not always available and opening the app only to realise that you can't read the day's guidance is disruptive to prayer. But more importantly, if you do have internet access, then your prayer is interrupted by emails, messages, tweets ... all the usual demands for attention at a time when you should be focussing on God. ### 3/5 — Wonderful but... *2016-09-07, version 2.3.2* Could the so please be set up in the device user's local time? I'm in Australia and for me it doesn't change over to the next day until the day's nearly over. ### 4/5 — Great except… *2025-08-26, version 2.4* Love This app for my daily morning readings… The only downside is every couple days. It keeps crashing and I can’t open it and I have to delete and re-download. Wish they could fix this bug. ### 4/5 — Great except… *2024-05-18, version 2.4* Love This app for my daily morning readings… The only downside is every couple days. It keeps crashing and I can’t open it and I have to delete and re-download. Wish they could fix this bug. ### 4/5 — Deeper fulfillment needs Scripure *2023-09-11, version 2.4* Growing to be more mindful was my primary goal. As I followed that path with teaching in mindfulness I needed the to find a path closer to Christ. The prayer and Scripture fulfill this. ### 4/5 — great App *2023-02-03, version 2.4* This app is really great the prayer the explanations and commentaries are helpful. The only concern I have is it's very slow to load. I have an Apple 12 pro max and it should be faster. I'm not sure why it hesitates. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-07-26, version 2.4* Awesome ### 5/5 — Simply Beautiful *2026-03-08, version 2.4* I love that this app is simple and does not overwhelm you with numerous tabs and prayers. Straightforward and effective! ### 5/5 — A daily read *2025-10-18, version 2.4* I had a friend at work 10+ years ago recommend this app. It has been a daily read ever since. The way the content is structured has improved my faith journey. Try it out and enjoy the journey. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2025-09-14, version 2.4* Part of my daily prayer for several years now. Very grateful for so much inspiration over so many years. ### 5/5 — Awesome help! *2025-02-09, version 2.4* Am to Ignatian Spirituality and am so excited to dig deeper and learn more. Did my first weekend retreat at Monserrat at Lake Dallas two weeks ago a great sense of calm and relief swept over me immediately. Such a huge blessing. ### 5/5 — Daily inspiration *2024-10-30, version 2.4* Reading the scripture and Ignation prayer starts my day. Centers me for all I do ### 5/5 — Soul Food *2024-10-23, version 2.4* I love the simplicity of the app but it always has a strong message. Most of all I love how it connects readings to modern day situations. I always feel a spiritual tool to start and/or end my day. ### 5/5 — 80 years old and a prodigal son *2024-09-10, version 2.4* After I return to refresh my Jesuit education of more than half a century ago I find that I have many old habits to break, new habits to form, and this app is amazingly helpful. ### 5/5 — The Best *2024-08-07, version 2.4* This app has enriched my prayer life tremendously. It’s a simple, easy, and convenient way to read scripture daily. Even if you know scripture really well already, or have read a passage a million times, the daily scripture is followed by a brief commentary/reflection and prayer which are written by different people. It’s a daily surprise and the variety of voices inspires me to think about how the living word is showing up in my life - in unique ways. 💜✝️🙏 ### 5/5 — Blessed *2024-07-16, version 2.4* I have been blessed to have been Jesuit educated and this app has continued my wonderful journey. I love the Jesuits .start my day --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
