Eminently useful content; slightly less useful after the update.
Before the update (last year?) this was a very favorite prayer app and I recommended it to many people and used it often. It appreciated the elegant simplicity of design & clarity of communication with each page being different steps in examine. I *really* liked that it would randomly select a new examen each time I opened the app. I very much miss that functionality. I love having the contents available to me, but use the app less this year than I did before the update.

What if
I wondered if it would be helpful in the context of this as to include a mood or feelings tracking chart option.
Turn off the counter
It’s okay but why the counter? It’s like being punished if we miss a day. The exams don’t always apply but I can skip to another.
Liked the old version
It had been awhile since I had used the app and I am not a fan of the new version. The cosmic screen is distracting as well as the word selection. If someone is being so selective put it at the bottom of the screen. It just has seemed to of lost its depth maybe because they are trying to reach too many folks. Offering a new app to target the new users maybe would have been better. I don’t think I’ll continue with it in this new forum. At the minimum I wish you had options to change screens etc.

Absolutely Fantastic!
This helps me so much prompt what helps discernment. On my own as a new learner it is hard to know what to do. This has great prompts and variety!! Absolutely Fantastic App!! Thank you!
Simple but effective!
Fulfils exactly what I was searching for: a simple daily examen based on Catholic teachings. The app guides you enough that you don’t have to worry about the structure of the examen, but not so much that it interrupts you from your reflection. I also love the variety and how you can choose an examen that suits whatever the Lord puts on your heart for that day.
A good way to start if you have an Apple watch is sit in a favourite chair, use the 60 second breath mode on your watch to put you in the zone, then do the examen.
Great job to the developer for providing this all for free!

Days done
The app doesn’t seem to record when I have completed a day’s Examen.
Love it - but it has changed
Great resource and perfect for someone who is just starting with the Examen! I love this app and used to use it all the time. Recently though, the format has changed and the background music (which I loved), is no longer part of the app. Would love it if this feature was brought back!
What happened to the music?
Did the new update eliminate the music? Or am I just missing it?
Excellent
Only on day 3 but finding this exceptionally good to really see myself and to experience God’s healing.
Love it up and down!
This app is yay! I feel Ignatius coming inside of me. Very spiritual
Good
Content is helpful and useful structure for prayer. Redesign is excellent, more accessible and makes better use of space. Well done all!
New look and functionality?
Missed on both.
Incredibly poor update!
How could this update possibly be an ‘improvement’ when the dark blue background makes it impossible to see clearly and the font size be so tiny even when you choose the biggest size? Why tear down something good and loved by users and replace it with something so inferior?
Previous version much better
I just downloaded the new version of this app, and I’m very disappointed. The white text is difficult to read against the blue background. All of the backgrounds are the same. There’s no music anymore. And it now counts your activity in a day “streak” as if this were a game.
I enjoyed using the previous version, but dislike the updated version so much I will likely be deleting this app
I wish I had not downloaded the update.

Many functions are gone now?
I really love this app, but when I opened it today it has lost many of the visual features that the app had before. Pictures and background music. Can someone please explain. Thank you and God bless you!
What happened to the music?
Where did the option for music go?
Deeply grateful
My mind often skitters during prayerful reflection and this app has helped me greatly to focus. Even tempts me to try different options later to reconnect with Him. Thank you very much.
Turning off the music
Love the app but the music is difficult to change despite touching my choice and it also plays continually, even when the app is closed.
Really good app with 1 flaw
Really enjoy this app for prayer and reflection on the day before bed. Really well done. The only issue is the app is a major drain on my phone battery unless I remember to close it. No idea why but it would be great if this was fixed.
