4 years ago, What on earth happened to them
Wonderful content, with some technical quirks
I have been using this app regularly for the past 6-7 months, and it’s contributed a lot to my relationship with the Lord to have this regular time of prayer and reflection each day. The questions get me to think about things that I wouldn’t otherwise, and I love the wide variety of options and how you can either do the Examen that automatically pops up or choose one from the list. It’s a meaningful and rich way to end my day, as opposed to scrolling through the news or social media before bed, which is what I was in the habit of doing before. There are two technical aspects of the app that I’d love to see tweaked. First, since most people likely use the app at night before going to sleep, it would be fantastic to have a night mode with a darker background and light text. The background is really bright, even with the brightness on my screen turned as low as it can go. Second, as others have said, if you spend too long thinking or praying through any one question, your phone will probably go to sleep, and the app doesn’t keep your place. When I wake my phone up to continue, the app has moved on to another Examen and I have to remember the name of the one I was on, find it in the list, and swipe through to the page I was on. It would be great if the app would stay on the same Examen until closed out or you push an option to have it select a new one. Overall, though, I love this app! Thank you for making it and making it available!
