Great Resource
As a reformed and presbyterian pastor (now retired) I found this small little tool extremely helpful in my ministry. Great prayers for many different occasions. My only quirk on that app, if I may call it that, is that I couldn’t copy and paste some of those prayers and other helpful resources on this app.

Great resource for Pastoral Care
A tremendous resource with tools to help a pastor, or seelsorger, care for those in need. I have the print Pastoral Care Companion, but it isn't always in my pocket or car, my phone is.
The only addition I'd make is the ability to select a few more hymns, though those provided are nice.

Can you please implement Split screen for iPads?

Good but needs the one year lectionary
This is a decent application but it needs a one year lectionary option. Please add the one year lectionary.
Convenient and Useful
I don’t always have my Pastoral Care Companion with me, but I’ve always got my phone. This allows me to have access to important prayers and rites I might need when I’m away from the church or have to make an unplanned visit. It has the option for the one-year lectionary, chant pointing for the psalms, and basic hymn texts.

Excellent.
I love being able to check the upcoming lections while I am in the grocery line. And I am never at a loss for words in any pastoral situation.
Crashes on opening
Still crashes on opening with ios10
Wonderful update
The iOS 9 update is a wonderful enhancement of an already excellent app.
ANY Pastor (Lutheran or not) could benefit from the wisdom distilled and made so readily available on this app. Thanks CPH!

What a great app!
This is a generous app, and I greatly appreciate the resources included. I agree with the earlier comment that bookmarks should return you to your exact place. This is the first CPH app I've owned which works better than anything else out there, and the first pastoral app to make me wholeheartedly excited. Thank you!

Ministry agenda at hand
Very helpful in my ministry to the shut in and for all my pastoral calls.
Love it! (but here are 3 suggestions)
This app is awesome! Having it on my phone means it is ALWAYS with me. I prefer this to my paper version since the paper version is now to small for me to read anymore. I have 3 suggestions for future versions. 1. Bookmarks should be able to go right to the exact paragraph you want to start with, not just the beginning of each rite, etc. 2. The font sizes are fine now, but as my eyes age, I hope there will be larger font size choices in the future (Note: I am using this on an iPhone 6 plus) 3. Something to add to the wish list would be audio files for the hymns since there are no notes (If needed, I can go to my new LSB Hymnal iBook for the printed notes) Anyway, thanks for a GREAT resource!

Every pastor must own this
This is rather Lutheran in its style but any pastor can use the prayers, the scripture readings and the order of services here to make any occasion more beautiful, more godly and more Christ centered. I am a baptist minister and find this indispensable. I use this app for graveside and funeral services, blessing a house, baby dedication and more. This is my go to app for service related ideas, topics, passages and events. If you are a pastor, a chaplain or a church leader, get this.

Excellent Resource for Pastors
This is an excellent resource for LCMS pastors. While I don't bring my iPad on pastoral calls, it is very helpful in preparing prayers, checking rites, choosing hymn texts, etc. Thanks, CPH!
An App for every chap
Chaplains, pastors, elders and visitors of the sick, homebound and hospitalized can benefit from this resource. The propers for each Sunday and feast day (according to the calendar of the Lutheran Service Book) could only be inproved by including the introit and source(s) for the introit. Well done.

Psalm tone won't play
Scads of content. But psalm tone doesn't play on Ipad 3. Wish I could print out parts of contents.
I want to like it
I like the app for what it promises to do. I have a 3Gs phone and it seems to crash every time I open it. When I get it to work, I'll be able to comment on it more accuratly.

A handy app for on the go. I only wish that under the Propers tab the Sunday Introits, Graduals, and Tracts were among the selected readings for Sundays and Feast Days.
Pastor
Good resource tool, unfortunately not very user friendly. For instance, there is no provision to delete bookmarks or notes in current version of this software. Would be nice to see actual calendar (or at least see where Sundays fall when selecting dates for propers and be able to enter notes tied directly to propers and save them by date (ie for planning sermons). Would also be good if the notes could be output in some fashion - emailed or printed. Would also be nice to hear hymn tunes, but that's because I don't read music.
Ultimately a good start and I hope CPH takes it further. It would quickly become this pastor's favorite app!

Almost there...
Glad to see the universality for iPhone/iPad was added, but it crashed on my iPad as soon as I opened it. Deleting the app and reinstalling seems to have solved the issue. Love the appearance on the iPad's big screen.
Needs iPad native version!
This is a great app and what I have wanted (better than using the Kindle version) but please, please bring a native iPad version of this app. I purchased without reading closely (but it does say for iPad, but has no "+" sign for univeral usage) and don't like having to use the "2x" button to fill the screen - not the best quality this way. Otherwise a great app and hopefully I won't have to pay again to get the native iPad version!
(only gave 3 stars since it is not iPad native, otherwise it is 5 stars!)
