It’s intuitive and fairly easy to use. However, the Prayer Session feature is now broken. Every single time I use it, whether on my iPhone, iPad, or MacBook, it selects the same people. Thus, I cannot use it and need to go to each list on my own and try to remember who’s been prayed for or try to randomize it. Developers: please fix this feature so that selection is truly randomized. ### 4/5 — Good app, one suggestion *2026-01-29, version 9.1.24* I like the app. I like how I make lists, and the app gives me items off of my lists to pray for at that prayer session. I ask the designers to please make it easier to edit entries. I have a list for prayers I have read and want to pray myself. I type in the prayer and close out of the editing screen to read it. But if I see I made a typo (and I always do), when I hit edit to correct it, the program takes me to the end of the prayer and I have to go back letter by letter to the typo to correct it. Please fix it so I can click directly on the typo to correct it. Going back letter by letter, even in a short prayer, is aggravating. But THANK YOU for an otherwise great app! My husband used it first and told me about it. I really like it a lot! ### 4/5 — Needs a way to sort by date *2025-07-24, version 8.8.1* I’m surprised I can only sort alphabetically. I need a way to sort prayer items newest to oldest as, over time, I will be entering many requests for a list. ### 5/5 — Perfect for the digital age for persevering prayer *2025-05-06, version 8.7.2* I love this little app that has helped track and organise my many prayer notes. It keeps all my Bible notes ordered and prayer requests scheduled so I dont forget a single person or request. It is so flexible and customisable, Thankyou! ### 5/5 — Run to Win *2025-04-22, version 8.7.2* I am currently reading “Run to Win” by Tim Challies and in the 4th chapter “practice your devotion” he said this was an app he used. I struggle knowing what to pray for and this app and how it structures prayer has helped me tremendously. A surprise for me was the prayer for persecuted christians through Open Doors.. as a supporter and advocate of the persecuted church as soon as I saw that I was won over and that accredited this app for me! Don’t remove or add anything this app is perfect exactly as it is! Thank you for providing such a sober, edifying, and useful tool! ### 5/5 — A Super Helpful Addition to my Prayer Time *2025-03-30, version 8.7.2* I’m SO thankful for PrayerMate as an addition to my prayer life. It brings great peace of mind knowing the app will circulate certain prayer points/people to pray for so I know I’m praying for things/people regularly. I love how you can customise “lists” and pray for specific lists eg “friends” whenever you want. I also love how you can customise settings so that certain lists you pray for daily. This is so helpful as I can add in things I want to pray about daily. God has used PrayerMate to help my prayer times be structured and in helping me be regular for praying for certain things. ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2025-03-26, version 8.7.2* In a profound way, this app has changed my prayer life, for the better. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2025-03-23, version 8.7.2* I LOVE this app! It’s exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! There is only one feature I would love to request - the ability to add an image as a card on a subject. I love to use scripture graphics in my prayer lists and it would be great to be able to add a screenshot of a friend’s message asking for prayer. I think that’s the only thing your app is lacking! ### 5/5 — Great prayer manager *2025-02-20, version 8.7.2* Love PrayerMate, super helpful in keeping my prayers organized and easy to access! A suggestion that would be awesome is the ability to schedule certain prayer lists by time of day, instead of just the overall day. Would be super helpful! ### 5/5 — Intuitive and User Friendly *2025-02-07, version 8.7.2* This is everything I was looking for in a prayer journal app! Allows me to organize people into categories/spheres of my life and add cards to their name with requests and updates. *Tracks times prayed for without having to archive or mark as answered* (a feature that is hard to find!) Allows you to set the frequency to pray for each person and different frequencies for different people/groups. Clearly made by people who have active prayer lives and know that praying for someone is typically a long term, not one time occasion! Great interface and lets me sync across devices. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Very Helpful In Daily Prayer *2025-01-01* Using PrayerMate has helped me not to forget any prayers each day. As a Pastor, many people ask me to pray for them or a need and I add them to the program right then. It has statistics that I can look at to tell me when I started praying for each need or item, how many times I have prayed for each, and allows me to move an item from the prayer category (like Health) to Praise when the need has been met or resolved by Jesus. I have used this program for many years and have contributed to it each year because it is so helpful to me as a Pastor. ### 5/5 — Amazingly Useful *2024-12-10, version 8.7.2* I can’t believe how much this has elevated my prayer life, especially intercession. As a pastor I use this to pray for my church regularly. It makes it manageable and methodical. One feature I love is linking to contacts so I can just text or email someone to ask for prayer requests or send an encouragement. There’s so much more to it, though. This is a must have app for Christians ### 5/5 — Love the update *2024-07-11, version 8.7.2* I’ve just come back to using this app after several years and just wanted to say I love the update! It’s so user friendly and has been so helpful at prompting me to pray for a range of things and having one place to note down anything people ask me to pray for. I love it, thank you! ### 5/5 — Best Prayer Request Logger *2024-05-10, version 8.7.1* I don’t typically write reviews, but I and genuinely impressed with this app. I’ve looked for years to find a prayer app that allows the functionality that this one does. Over time I have tried about everything in the App Store and have always reverted to using the stock Reminders app to keep track of my prayer lists. I gave this another shot recently and pleasantly surprised with the changes since I last tried it out. A great app, and highly recommended. More people need to find out about this! ### 5/5 — Incredible - game changer *2024-02-25, version 8.6.3* This has been a game changer. Tremendous app. So grateful for it. Current issue though: there is some sort of glitch and I can’t increase the number of items to pray for in a prayer session. Looks like it needs an update. Thanks. ### 5/5 — 11/10 *2024-02-15, version 8.6.3* This app has been a huge blessing. It helps me to more easily pray Scripture over my church family and small group, and it has helped organize my prayer life into manageable chunks per day. Thank you Lord!! 🙌🏼 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Help *2026-03-22, version 9.1.28* The app needs a way to easily provide help. I’ve forgotten my password. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it automatically signed me in. When I go to find help there is nothing to be found. I could email and wait for a reply but having a comprehensive help feature that avoids the email process is significantly better. ### 1/5 — Froze *2025-06-16, version 8.8.1* Downloaded, started to choose contacts, hit add button and app froze. ### 1/5 — Clumsy and needlessly complicated *2024-04-18, version 8.7.1* Tried this app for the first time. Added a list under praying for my church and the list does not show up anywhere. Moving on. ### 1/5 — Not happy with auto renew *2023-12-12, version 8.5.31* The app started charging my iTunes account monthly when I thought I could use it for free to try it out. It says to turn off the auto renew feature to stop the charge but the auto renew is hidden somewhere I can’t find. I’ll just delete the app. There’s nothing special about this app that makes me want to pay for it monthly. ### 1/5 — Won't open *2015-05-22, version 3.10.0* My iPhone 4 won't open the app since today's update happened. Tried to restart but still won't work. ### 2/5 — Frustrated *2025-05-28, version 8.8.1* Sadly, I could not figure out how to add requests to this app. ### 2/5 — Confusing *2023-08-09, version 8.4.3* I find this app confusing to use. ### 2/5 — Group prayers *2020-05-03, version 6.12.0* My app often after downloading will loose the prayer points from other members in my group so I can only see my own prayers. Otherwise. Great app. Lots of great content. ### 2/5 — Disappointed about hidden fees *2020-02-05, version 6.10.4* This app sounded great and said it was free but unfortunately you learn after you download it that that is not actually true . If you want to create a group it’s going to cost you a monthly fee. Its fine if you want add a fee but it is very disappointing to see a Christian app misrepresented. ### 3/5 — PrayerMate is good but could be better! *2024-02-06, version 8.6.3* Don’t get me wrong I love and give to prayer mate-(.99c!) but it could use improvement. It needs an link to audio! Audio prayers that connect to each subject like prayer pocket! Prayer pocket has prayers and music feature to help you and you just agree. I want this to get better and become the go to thing instead of you tube! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best prayer app ever *2026-08-12, version 10.0.10* I’ve been looking for this kind of app for years. It’s like you read my mind. This is the perfect app. It’s flexible and easy to use and has helped my prayer life. Thank you! ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2026-06-06, version 10.0.0* Loving this app. Easy to add praises and requests. Easy to personalize. Easy to update, archive, and refer back to answers. The way it rotates as many items as I had set up and pulls things up so that over the course of a week all things have been covered in prayer. I am then also reminded of each things I had hoped to be intentional about and so am able to check in with those people that might otherwise have regretfully been forgotten. Just love the helpfulness! ### 5/5 — There is no better app to help you pray *2026-05-31, version 10.0.0* This app is enormously powerful and effective at helping you develop a system to pray for all the things that you want to pray for. I cannot more highly recommend this app to you. It's worth every penny and more. I would even encourage you to consider supporting the app if it's as helpful to you as it has been to me. ### 5/5 — Great Prayer App *2026-05-13, version 9.1.33* I’m surprised that this app isn’t more popular. Well organized, love the biblically guided prayer options, and it really did help me to get pray more often because of the reminder feature and list structure. The only feature I wish it had was the opportunity to say when a prayer is answered and then it automatically moves into a folder for the user; however, it has everything else and you won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — Perfect for ADHD *2026-02-01, version 9.1.27* I often forget my prayers and go days without praying. With this app I never know which prayer points will come up, and that’s perfect for someone like me who can’t do routine and predictability. And there is also an option to select which prayers will be prayer for everyday, which is also great for people who like routine or if there is something urgent that requires daily prayer. I copy and paste verses from the bible app into this app and I meditate on them when I use this app. Whoever thought this app really understands prayer and peoples brains because it’s just fantastic ### 5/5 — Great personal prayer app! *2025-11-24, version 9.1.16* I’ve tried a lot of different prayer apps, and this one is the best. The items that I looked for include the following: 1. I must be able to enter/track/update my own personal prayer request. Along with us I want to be able to review them after they’ve been answered are no longer being prayed for. 2. I would like to be able to organize the prayers by list. So that I can see which group are subject area that I want to be praying about at that time or on a regular schedule. 3. I want to be able to import other pre-canned prayers/guidance that could help me build a bit better prayer life, especially when I’m unsure what I should be praying for. 4. My prayer request/list should be able to be shared with other people/groups. 5. Preferably the app should not cost me anything. However, I’m willing to pay a small fee if required to help support development and maintenance of the app. 6. It must be easy/intuitive to use! This app does all of those features better than any other prayer app that I have tried. I am very pleased with how it performs all of those features. ### 5/5 — So helpful *2025-11-20, version 9.1.16* I love the ability to update requests and to send people a screenshot of how I’ve specifically been praying for them. I’ve added all the members of my church so I can consistently pray for them and remember their requests. This app has helped me be more faithful and intentional in prayer. ### 5/5 — Great resource *2025-07-02, version 8.8.1* Very helpful to guide prayer times and keep track of things I want to pray about. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2025-05-19, version 8.8.1* This is such a great way to pray specifically for family, relatives, missionaries and so much more! ### 5/5 — Indispensable *2025-05-14, version 8.8.0* Great developer responsiveness. Sorted out my problem. Fabulous app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
