Shrive vs Reconcile

Shrive is the ULTIMATE confession App for Catholics providing a variety of features for preparation of the sacrament. LOG YOUR SINS: Safely and privately record all of your sins so you will easily be able to read them off to the priest. REFLECT: Easily reflect before confession or even when in the confession like to help you make the most honest confession SEE WHEN YOUR LAST CONFESSION WAS: Shrive will automatically keep track when you go to confession. Upon first launch, it will ask you approximately when you last went to confession. Shrive also has widgets that count up to when you were last at confession. COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO CONFESSION: Whether this is your first or you’ve been confessing for 20 years, we understand that you may get nervous. Shrive will show you exactly what you got to say to the priest in the “Confession Time” menu including the Act of Contrition, your sins, and when your last confession was. GET CLOSER TO GOD: Logging your sins the moment you realize them will make you more likely to get to Heaven. Note: Shrive is NOT a replacement for the sacrament of reconciliation, rather it's a resource that you can use in confession to help you get closer to God.

Confession is one of the most beautiful gifts of the Catholic faith — and for many of us, one of the most intimidating. It's been too long. I won't know what to say. I'll forget something. Reconcile is here to quiet that fear. Reconcile walks with you through the whole sacrament: a thorough examination of conscience, a clear step-by-step guide to what happens in the confessional, and a gentle way to make reconciliation a lasting part of your spiritual life.
