Reimagining the Examen

I was recently introduced to Examen prayers and was happy to find your app when looking for more information. I am grateful for the variety of prompts. My one suggestion is to adapt the app so ones own music could be chosen over the preloaded (which I find distracting)...even if I mute the app, it does not allow itunes to play simultaneously from the same device. Otherwise, kudos on this app! Many thanks for developing it.

Really like the content, and have used it with my son to help guide him through daily life struggles together. Also very beneficial to use as journal prompt guides. That being said, I gave it 3 for two reasons. The main one is that I cannot get any audio sounds to play on my iPhone 8 while in the App. Would love to hear the Ocean/Beach sounds that I chose in “Settings” while I read & Journal in the App. If someone can get this figured out, I’ll gladly change my rating to a 5. The last reason for the 3 is because I wish all the Examens could be sorted/organized by various categories or topics. Reading them all in one long random list isn’t user-friendly to my categorical-minded brain.

I love this app! I stumbled upon it totally by accident when I did a Google search for the Examen steps. It’s now the only thing I’ll use for my examination of conscience. Whenever I’d do the Examen on my own I felt my spiritual wheels spinning - I kept focusing on the same points of gratitude and the same vague sins. The prompts in this app are so insightful that I often find myself in tears by the end and I feel spiritually stronger - or maybe more attuned is a better description. Praise God for this app, those who created it, and those who will use it.

This app is wonderful--Simple to use with many varieties to fit your mood or day. It helps keep me focused on the posts of the examen especially out in public where it is harder to pray (or when my mind is especially "frisky"). It's a button to push when the need to do something on my phone is there. I've even handed it to my teens on occasion when I could tell they were bored--they liked it! Thank you!

My college age son told me about this app and I’ve been using it for about a year now. I love it! It draws me closer to God and helps me mature and discuss life with Him. I usually use it at the end of the day, around 4 or 5:00. Thank you for making this app! I have also made an app (called I Deserve a Donut and other lies that make you eat) so I know how much work it is! I appreciate you guys!
