PrayerList Pro is a beautifully simple app designed to help you stay faithful in prayer. Add prayer requests for the people and situations on your heart, pray, and watch your consistency grow over time. No accounts. No subscriptions. No data collection. Just open the app and start praying. New in 1.8: built for iPhone Duo. Open it like a book, with the Bible on one page and your journal on the other. Lay it flat to write across a full page, or stand it up half-folded as a prayer desk, with what you’re praying about upright and your page below. Fold and unfold as you go: your prayer keeps going, and so does your writing. Closed, everything fits the outer display. New in 1.7: search everything — even your handwritten journal pages — and ask questions in your own words with Apple Intelligence, privately on your device. Tell Siri “I prayed for Mom,” find prayers in Spotlight, take sermon notes in Church Mode with a Focus filter that quiets reminders during the service, scan prayer requests from a card or bulletin, and choose exactly what your widgets show. Create prayer requests for people you love, situations you're facing, or things you're grateful for. Attach contact photos, add notes, and organize with color-coded categories. Mark each request as prayed, track answered prayers, and build a daily streak that tells a story of faithfulness. See your prayer journey at a glance. Weekly stats, daily streaks, mindful minutes, and answered prayers give you a clear picture of how your faithfulness has grown over time. Prayer time is automatically logged to Apple Health as mindful minutes. Your prayers sync seamlessly across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch via iCloud. Browse prayers and mark them as prayed from your wrist. See your prayer list and streak from home screen widgets, no need to open the app.

Sticky Widgets's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 20) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
