### 4/5 — What a GREAT App!

*2026-06-17*

Finally a Prayer App that actually helps my prayer life. BEST thing is that, now, it automatically updates to the Cloud keeping all my devices synced. Can’t tell you how frustrating it was before loosing things b/c I forgot to “upload” or “download” from one of my other devices. But now, you can also add scripture verses, pics, and even add “reminders” to your calendar. Well done guys!  My only suggestion would be to to let the “consecutive days” counter work across devices.  It is kinda frustrating to work up to 100 consecutive days, or more, and then not have access to a certain device (b/c of traveling) and loose the streak you work so hard to keep up.

### 3/5 — Nice little app but could use a few improvments

*2026-04-29, version 13.4.0*

I use this app every day and love it's simplicity. Would give it five stars if it had a little more versatility though, like being able to increase font size.

### 4/5 — Helps me focus on the present while not forgetting the past

*2026-03-01*

It is amazing to document God at work through prayer.  Great way to remember to follow up with someone also.  I love that it synchs across devices.

It is five star worthy except for the inability to custom sort the prayer categories.  I have been unable to find an option other than the default alphabetical sort. Some people would prefer to prioritize the categories differently.

**Developer response:** If you want, please contact support with ideas on how you'd like to better sort the categories. We are always open to hear suggestions!

### 5/5 — Bob

*2025-03-12, version 12.4.0*

Best journal/prayer pp I haqve ever seen. I need and use it everyday.  Thnk you Lord.

### 4/5 — So far so good

*2025-02-25*

I like the app and am using it very regularly. I would love to really incorporated into my day all day. However, I purchased the app on my desktop, but I am still getting ads and errors and restrictions on my phone so it is asking me to make another $20 purchase which I don’t believe that’s what thecreators in 10 so I have put out a message to them and haven’t heard back yet so hopefully they will get that cleared up and I can use the app seamlessly going forward

**Developer response:** You are correct, one subscription covers all devices using the same Apple ID. On the phone, go to the In-App purchase page and press the restore purchase button if it hasn't loaded automatically. If you need help feel free to reach out to support!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-01-28, version 12.1.0*

Too expensive

### 5/5 — I use this constantly

*2025-01-17, version 11.11.0*

It’s great for keeping up with prayer requests, and taking notes during church. I honestly haven’t used it like I could for journaling, but it’s worth it for the functions I use. I do wish they’d add more Bible translation options, but I understand there are royalty payments.

### 5/5 — On Mac too!

*2024-10-11, version 11.7.0*

Just realized that this comes in a Mac app too!  I love this app! I would give it 10 stars!

### 5/5 — Such nice customer care!

*2024-08-17, version 11.5.0*

I just started using the app and had some questions. Upon inquiries, I received quick and kind responses. I'm excited to see how the app will help me stay organized in my prayer life and also record the things I've seen God do!

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2024-08-05*

I have used the older version of this app since 2017. And I really liked it. But they have added so many good features to this updated version. I like that if I accidentally hit the check mark to move a request to the answers—a verification pops up. I like the search feature that allows you to quickly find requests. You can now also rearrange the order of the requests. The clock, the ability to find & add verses inside the app, and varying the colors of the requests between white & gray are all really nice! Support is awesome also! I would give this 10 stars if I could!

### 5/5 — Great option with a meditation app for music running is this prayer app

*2024-07-10*

I am pope Francis mother and I do enjoy this app I found all the gods and they were all trapped

### 5/5 — Easy.

*2024-07-06, version 11.3.0*

I love this prayer journal it’s really easy to use. Only thing I have an issue with is the setting up a scripture it’s very difficult to use.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-05-21*

A great way to keep tabs on your prayer and especially when you need a space to right down prayer requests.😇👍

### 4/5 — Any plans for Android?

*2024-05-13, version 11.0.0*

Hi, I love this app but am switching to Android soon and would love to use this and your other apps but I'm not finding them in the google app store.

### 4/5 — A great place to gather my prayers

*2024-05-01, version 11.0.0*

I really enjoy this app.  It gives me space and categories for gathering my prayers together.  I also have great ways to share those prayers and note how I see the Lord responding to what is prayed.

I look forward to using the SHARE features, so that I can text prayers to others so they can pray with me and also give insight.

I would like to have more contemporary translations of the Scripture.  I appreciate what it there.

Also, the inspiration section looks like it has not been updated in a while.  Are there plans to do this?

### 4/5 — Good prayer tools for iPhone & Apple Watch

*2024-04-29*

I've been using this app for over a year and it's suited many of my needs for keeping track of prayers! Thank you for making this! :)

That said, one thing that's difficult to work with is the lack of sorting options for your prayer lists. When one has many prayers, the app becomes unwieldy and challenging to use, since one cannot easily locate a specific prayer in a vast sea of them.

**Developer response:** Hello! You can always sort by categories, and for answered requests you can archive them to the "Answered" section. You can also use the search feature to narrow your request items.

### 1/5 — Distracting ads and a prayer tracking suggestion

*2026-08-02*

I have been searching for an app to help me grow in my devotion to prayer. Unfortunately, the first advertisements I encountered included images of scantily clad models, which immediately distracted me from the purpose of opening the app. For an app centered on prayer and devotion, I hope you’ll consider making the initial experience free from distracting advertisements or offering an easier ad-free option.

I also have a feature request. It would be wonderful if the Prayer Statistics tracked the duration of each prayer session and displayed total prayer time by day, week, month, and year. For those of us who are intentionally cultivating a consistent prayer life, seeing our time devoted to prayer over months can be a meaningful way to measure consistency and encourage growth in our devotion.

### 1/5 — Bright white ad at the bottom is too blinding to use the app

*2025-07-08, version 12.5.0*

Can’t use it

### 1/5 — Ad free - consider one time purchase

*2024-07-20, version 11.4.0*

Barely downloaded the app and was excited to get to know it… then Temu Ad pops up at bottom of the screen with the most unsavory images! Not distracting or annoying at all! I really dislike membership monthly/ annual app fees - one and done is the only way. Sad because it looked promising, but the half clad models on the Temu ad did me in at download.

### 1/5 — Deceived

*2023-01-29*

Led to believe this was a free app. Soon found I either have to listen to an ad for something in which I have no interest or purchase ad free time. Will be looking for an alternative app.

**Developer response:** Hello! The ads can easily be removed for a small subscription fee. The ads are there so that all features can remain free and usable to anybody. This helps keep the app operational and available.

### 1/5 — Disappointed, Seemingly buggy code; worse, non-existant help

*2022-10-24, version 10.0.0*

This was just the software I was looking for but I've not been able to us it for variety of reasons.  I wanted very much an app that could share data on iOS and Mac.  Advertising for app seems to say that I could.  Wasn't clear if I had to buy the app for iOS and Mac.  No response from company so I finally decided to just buy both.  Typed in all my prayer

### 1/5 — Nah

*2022-06-21, version 9.1.0*

I was liking it at first and actually paid for the first month so I could really get into it. Then I found out I can’t re-order the categories. That is a big thing for me.

### 1/5 — Problems!

*2020-08-15, version 2.1.1.*

Looks grat, sounds great and should be great, but- The Sync function is unreliable and unpredicatabe - sometimes it works and someties it doesn't.
The ability to reorder throught the GUI is unreliable - again sometimes it works anf other times.
I am tired of struggling with this ap. I am going to try another ap.

### 2/5 — A good app but…

*2023-12-17*

This app is good, but it appears to be missing a crucial feature for long term journaling. There doesn’t appear to be any way to search journal entries. For long term journaling, I really need the ability to run a search against all of my journal entries. The app is well made an intuitive and it would be nice if I could also add/update entries from my computer as well. This app is someone handy for very occasional use, but is lacking some things that make it a great long term solution.

**Developer response:** Hi - Thanks for the comments. There is a search feature for both journal and prayers. Press the search icon in the top right to open the search box. You can also update from the computer by downloading the Mac version of the app. It will auto sync between all your Apple devices.

### 2/5 — Nothing to see here

*2023-02-17, version 10.1.0*

This is exactly the same feature set as the author’s previous prayer journal app, except with a different color interface and subscription pricing. Save your money and use the other one. Subscriptions for subscriptions’ sake should be avoided.

### 2/5 — No sync between devices

*2020-09-03, version 2.2.0*

I assumed that if I got the pay version of this, it would sync with all my devices. Not so. One must buy a separate subscription for every device. Also, setting the calendar and scripture references are a bit unwieldy.  I think I'll go back to my prayer card.

### 5/5 — Covers the Bases

*2026-04-04, version 13.4.0*

Love this app… Does everything one needs to support prayer. The hardest part of prayer is… praying. No app or book can take the place of a Saint just praying

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2026-03-03, version 13.3.0*

I use the prayer builder! So helpful!  I used to feel like I was floundering in my random word soup prayers. Now I just explain what I trying to say.  This builder helps me focus on the one topic. Also gives encouraging scripture based on the prayer topic.

### 5/5 — Very Nice Way to Pray

*2026-02-26*

This app allows you to create your own prayer time without a lot of fluff or distractions.  I like that you can attach Scripture references.  I’ve had only a couple of things that were negative to me. Both of these I brought to the attention of the developer and, lo and behold, these things got changed in the app. This app is an excellent way for us left brained people to organize our prayer life.

### 5/5 — Very reliable and useful app

*2026-02-13*

This app is very stable and is able to sync with my other devices. It’s features provide you with many options for presentation of my prayers and notes as well as giving me the ability to easily organize them the way that serves me best. I use this daily and I have also received quick and helpful responses from the developer himself.

### 5/5 — Useful daily app

*2026-01-20, version 13.3.0*

Comprehensive useful app for not only daily prayer but also keeping favorite scriptures and notes The app is easy to learn, easy to navigate and can be personalized as needed.
