I like the concept of the app but can't get the log in feature to work. The message continues to state "I/O" failure. Ive tried creating a new account with a different email address and still experienced issues. I would like to be able to use the entire app features.
I loved this app, except I had to turn off the sound. Couldn't bear Father talking about Gaad and His Gaaspel. (I'm English) Then it crashed, failed to show me my journal I uninstalled it, can't reinstall it, it fails every time I try. Also reset password doesn't work. I'm disappointed because there isn't another app that does the same thing and I was finding this one really useful. Please fix it?! 🙁
I LOVED this app. So helpful! But I accidentally logged out. Couldn't log back in. So disappointed. Lost my journal entries. I'm really very upset! Please fix!
I love this app and Father's spiritual direction, but I can't log on. Therefore I can't journal unless I use paper & pencil. Then I can share easily with my spiritual director. Disappointing.
I have the same issue. I can't log in or create another account. Always gets the i/o failure message. I don't want to write paper journals if the option is available. Please fix it.
I liked the app but like Carol I couldn't get the log in to work very frustrating cant use the journal
Simple and helpful to remind me not to fall into the trap of just doing a conscience exam but a relationship with our Lord!
i love this app. I've only used it for a few days but it is helping me get to know this spiritual process in a very human way. Thanks!
Useful app with journal to record your thoughts and prayers
Very engaging, easy to use.
Absolutely Brings COMFORT, PRAYER AND PEACE
An excellent app. It helps me great with journalling and gives me a lot to think about at the end of the day. It also forces me to be grateful for many things that happen to me each and every day - so gets rid of the grumpiness and leads me into joy. I haven't 'logged in' as I don't see the need to at the moment. I do all my journalling in my own handwritten one which is my preference. Sometimes it takes me only five minutes, others it can take half an hour, depending on what God is speaking to my heart. HIghly recommend this. St Ignatius encouraged his order to make sure they say the Examen every day, even if they forgot all other prayers.
It keeps crashing. The add a journal entry, icon, + it doesn't work. I cannot seem to add an entry. I'll probably just uninstall this app. LG V20
Such a great way to make the daily examen more accessible to us in a modern society. It guides you through it and allows you to journal as you go. Definitely going to be using this daily!
The best application ever. Got introduced to St.Ignation prayer through this application. Have been praying using this application for almost a week now. The results are very positive. Thank almighty Lord and the makers of this application for improving my spiritual life. Great job inspired by God.
Good guide to the examen but password reset does not work so I'm locked out of my journal
It does not give access to password reset. Is no one home?This app needs someone to attend to it. I dumped it.
I love this app but i couldn't make it work properly, the journal is lost, tried to log back in .. not possoble, reinstalled. I didn't.like similar ones.. Guys pmease fix .. God bless
Love the reminders to come away and pray. Signed your father.
Very good app to guide you through this prayer.
Love it. Amzingly simple
I had to change my review because it is no longer working for Android's latest version. Father, please update this app. It is no longer working. Thank you.
Great app for the content. I may have to uninstall, however, because no matter what I do I cannot turn off the reminder chime . There is a toggle button and it does not say which is on and which is off. So I've tried both ways and the chime continues to go off no matter which way the toggle button is set. I do not want the reminder chime, but there is no way to turn it off.
This app is perfect! From the alarm settings to the beautiful photos to the guidance of Fr. Denk (awesome!) to the wonderfully formatted journal, this app is the next best thing to actually working through the Examen with a spiritual director. Don't want a spiritual director? Then simply follow the simple directions on each screen to complete your daily Examen! This app is an incredible gift!
I love the app though have had problems since the big update. I love the new format. Though, I don't like the new problems. but overall its still workable, it just teaches me a little patience every time i use it.
Overall very helpful and practical. The reminder chime is less helpful. I did not sign in for this reason.
I love the simplicity of this app as well as the control it gives me over the timing of my prayer. I was delightfully surprised to find the spiritual direction portion of the app as well. The clear emphasis on relationship with God rather than on ritual or mere discipline fits perfectly with the journey God has me on. Thank you for creating this tool!
I really love the journal aspect. Pity the alarm does not work.
This app is so easy to use and great for guiding someone through a timed prayer of examen. The discreet countdown clock at the top right of the screen helps my pace and helps keep me moving especially on tired mornings. This style of prayer has been extremely powerful in helping me reset, let go of negative feelings, and create a hopeful plan of change. I highly recommend it to many people, no matter their level of experience with examen!
