Feedback from 3-Minute Retreaters:

The 3-Minute Retreat is the BEST way to start my day. Patricia

Some days 3 minutes is all I have for me. There is no better way to start my mind thinking and praising God for all the good he has done in my life. Jackie

More often than not, they seem to have been written just for me, where I am, right now! Anne

I love the 3-Minute Retreat because it centers my day on what is true, real, and life-giving. Derrell

No matter what time of day I read it...it is the best 3 minutes of my day. Adela

I have the 3-Minute Retreat app and it’s a great way to slow down, reflect on something deeper, and prepare for the day before delving into the emails and tasks of the day. The app is incredibly handy with lovely graphics and music to transport you. Kamaria It is a little oasis of peace in my day – a chance to rejoice in the silence and refresh the heart and the soul.

Ratings and reviews

I really look forward to using this app everyday! It helps me to step outside the stress of the day and focus on God. It also is a brief three-minute reflection (you can control how long you choose to reflect,) on bringing my focus back to the important things in life. I always feel more relaxed after these mini retreats, and wish the app allowed for more than one retreat per day. An excellent app to let you enjoy a brief time out from the stress of life, & feel a sense of peace. Love the app!☺

Nice little app with good customization. It can only be viewed in landscape mode on my Samsung Galaxy S4, and the reverse button does not exit the app. There is no in-app exit function. I have to force close the app when I'm done.

Changed the rating to just one star. What is wrong with your app? It was working fine until yesterday on both of my phones. Now all I get is a black screen on both phones. I checked and there is no recent software to update to either. What a pity! Tapping into this app was one of my morning rituals - it helped set the pace for the day.☹
