The Confession App prepares you in a gentle and comforting way for the Catholic sacrament of Confession (Reconciliation). A grace emphasized introduction section helps you understand the place and history of the Sacrament of Confession. In the preparation section, you make your way through the some guidance questions. You can then place a check mark next to items you'd like to confess and they appear in the Confession Guide section for use during Confession.

No data is stored on the internet. After Confession, you press "Erase My Sins" and your check marked sins are removed from the cache in the phone or tablet.

The sin check boxes are very large and easy to press. The overall tone is very welcoming and inviting. More sensitive topics are addressed with big words to help protect younger readers. Because no data is ever saved to the phone, no username or password is required.

The app also features an "Introduction" section with information on the history of the sacrament and general information about the grace and forgiveness offered by Christ. Catechism and scripture references are included in this section.

This App is designed for the Catholic sacrament of Confession (also called Reconciliation or Penance) as celebrated in most of the western world. However, it may be used as a general examination of conscience by anyone or any group. This app is approachable, beautiful, complete, and prayerfully reflective. Enjoy!

Big large check boxes make checking off sins very easy. In fact, you can click the text as well as the check box. The grey box turns into a shiny blue check mark. At the end of the examination questions, a text box allows you to type in any additional offenses that might be on your mind. Pushing the "Go to the Confession Guide" button transfers your check boxes and written sins to the Guide to Confession page where you are guided step by step through the sacrament of confession.

The app was especially designed to be easy to use in the confessional. The font is large and prayers you need to say are in big bold letters. Your sins from the examination page also appear in the first person so you can simply read them. At the very end, you are awarded the enjoyment of pushing the "Erase My Sins" button and are notified that "Your sins have been erased". Of course, technologically we are referring to the cache on the phone. But if you did receive the sacrament, you can rejoice in your sins sacramental removal as well.

The app can also easily be used for a nightly examination of conscience apart from the sacrament of confession.

It is a great app to recommend to friends, to use on retreats, and to recommend to bible study and faith sharing groups. The app itself can be the topic of a discussion group.

Laudate Dominum (Praise the Lord)
A perfect companion to your Lentsanity!

Sins don’t “erase”

Not sure why this app is rated so well. After Confession I hit the “Erase Sins” button (which I thought was clever), and they didn’t erase. Tried closing/reopening the app - still there. Tried deselecting the sins in the preparing section. Still showed up in the guide and repopulated the sins in the prepare section. Only deleting the app and reloading worked. I’m not doing that long term. There are other choices out there.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!

This app DOES NOT save your sins locally, unless you log in with one of your social media accounts. Even when logged on it works sporadically. It also wants your location, but doesn’t adequately explain why. When I loaded it the first time, I allowed for the app to use my location While I was Using the app. It later prompted me, even though the app was closed, i.e. not even open in the background, to allow the app to know location at all times, even when closed. If I could, I would rate this zero stars. I believe this app, best case, is a marketing tool…worst case, the app might be malicious!!

Not bad - 2 suggestions

1. I k ow it’s not needed to login to work but your only options are Facebook, Twitter, and Google. All three companies are not Christian friendly. Add an email only login or alt-media options like Gab. 2. Can you add the older version of the act of contrition or give an option to use that one or both.

Great app but...Does not work in IOS 11

I’ve used this app many times and like to use it but it no longer works on my iPhone due to IOS 11. Hoping it will be updated soon.

I miss this app!!! Please update for iOS11!

This is the best confession app I’ve seen. Had it & lost it when my iPhone forced me to update to iOS11. Please update so I can have it back! Thank you!

Wish this app would also give me prayers to say after I sin

Good app. Should have a feature that tells me what prayers I should say if I was not able to confess to a priest.

Doesn't work.

This app doesn't work. I've captured information several times and it is lost

LOVE this app

This app really puts things into perspective as far as how well are we upholding our Catholic life. It helps prepare for confession and it prevents tht feeling of "darn it! I forgot to tell Fr. Bob about ___!" Everything gets checked off! The best part is that you can erase the sins when you've been absolved! Thanks!

Thank you!

I love it! It's really helped me in preparing for confession.
