PastoralCare

A tremendous resource with tools to help a pastor, or seelsorger, care for those in need. I have the print Pastoral Care Companion, but it isn't always in my pocket or car, my phone is. The only addition I'd make is the ability to select a few more hymns, though those provided are nice.

Can you please implement Split screen for iPads?

This is a decent application but it needs a one year lectionary option. Please add the one year lectionary.

I don’t always have my Pastoral Care Companion with me, but I’ve always got my phone. This allows me to have access to important prayers and rites I might need when I’m away from the church or have to make an unplanned visit. It has the option for the one-year lectionary, chant pointing for the psalms, and basic hymn texts.

I love being able to check the upcoming lections while I am in the grocery line. And I am never at a loss for words in any pastoral situation.

The iOS 9 update is a wonderful enhancement of an already excellent app. ANY Pastor (Lutheran or not) could benefit from the wisdom distilled and made so readily available on this app. Thanks CPH!

This is a generous app, and I greatly appreciate the resources included. I agree with the earlier comment that bookmarks should return you to your exact place. This is the first CPH app I've owned which works better than anything else out there, and the first pastoral app to make me wholeheartedly excited. Thank you!

Very helpful in my ministry to the shut in and for all my pastoral calls.

This app is awesome! Having it on my phone means it is ALWAYS with me. I prefer this to my paper version since the paper version is now to small for me to read anymore. I have 3 suggestions for future versions. 1. Bookmarks should be able to go right to the exact paragraph you want to start with, not just the beginning of each rite, etc. 2. The font sizes are fine now, but as my eyes age, I hope there will be larger font size choices in the future (Note: I am using this on an iPhone 6 plus) 3. Something to add to the wish list would be audio files for the hymns since there are no notes (If needed, I can go to my new LSB Hymnal iBook for the printed notes) Anyway, thanks for a GREAT resource!

This is rather Lutheran in its style but any pastor can use the prayers, the scripture readings and the order of services here to make any occasion more beautiful, more godly and more Christ centered. I am a baptist minister and find this indispensable. I use this app for graveside and funeral services, blessing a house, baby dedication and more. This is my go to app for service related ideas, topics, passages and events. If you are a pastor, a chaplain or a church leader, get this.
