A new iPhone app which allows you to pray for the Pope everyday. Help us reach one million prayers! "Pray for me" was one of the first things Pope Francis said at the beginning of his pontificate.

Pray for the Pope holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pray for the Pope has 135 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of emo+'s written reviews are positive against 97% of Pray for the Pope's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
emo+ ships an update every 40 months, Pray for the Pope every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
