Reimagining the Examen

Great resource and perfect for someone who is just starting with the Examen! I love this app and used to use it all the time. Recently though, the format has changed and the background music (which I loved), is no longer part of the app. Would love it if this feature was brought back!

Did the new update eliminate the music? Or am I just missing it?

This app is yay! I feel Ignatius coming inside of me. Very spiritual

Missed on both.

I really love this app, but when I opened it today it has lost many of the visual features that the app had before. Pictures and background music. Can someone please explain. Thank you and God bless you!

Where did the option for music go?

My mind often skitters during prayerful reflection and this app has helped me greatly to focus. Even tempts me to try different options later to reconnect with Him. Thank you very much.

Love the app but the music is difficult to change despite touching my choice and it also plays continually, even when the app is closed.

There are some lovely variations on the examen here, but I find the exclusively male pronouns for God distracting and very much a barrier.

I tried for years to make the EXAMEN part of my prayer life but could “never find the time”. This leads me through a prayer process I can do anywhere, any time. Waiting in line. Before lunch. It quickly guides me into self-reflection, gratitude, awareness of God’s movement in my life and a desire for a closer relationship. I now put a reminder on my phone and open myself up to grace.
