Pray As You Go - Daily Prayer

Pray As You Go

About this app

Pray as you go is a daily prayer session, designed for use on portable devices, to help you pray whenever you find time, but particularly whilst travelling to and from work, study, etc.

A new prayer session is produced every day of the working week and one session for the weekend. It is not a 'Thought for the Day', a sermon or a bible-study, but rather a framework for your own prayer. It is founded in Ignatian Spirituality and uses the imagination to enter more deeply into prayer.

Lasting between ten and thirteen minutes, it combines music, scripture and some questions for reflection.

Our aim is to help you to:
*become more aware of God's presence in your life
*listen to and reflect on God's word
*grow in your relationship with God

It is produced by Jesuit Media Initiatives, with material written by a number of Jesuits, both in Britain and further afield, and other experts in the spirituality of St Ignatius of Loyola. Although the content is different every day, it keeps to the same basic format.

Ratings and reviews

The daily content is very high quality and helps me have a moment of meditation in scripture and prayer each morning. The app, however, is glitchy and hard to use. The setting to download a week in advance only works when you actively open up the setting and clear things out, the buttons are too hard to click, and recordings cut short at the end at times.

I really appreciate this app, and use it almost daily. However, it has become more frustrating to use - it's jerky and less reliable. Instead of loading simply and smoothly, it's slow to start or crashes, jumps through several backgrounds, and I'm having trouble with downloading prayers. I download them, then the next time I open "my prayers," it says I have no downloads, then I close and open them again and find them there. I wonder if this app is trying to do too much.

The content is lovely; the function is frustrating. Requires an Internet connection to start, even though I opted to download the daily devotions. And even if I start listening before turning on airplane mode, when the audio stops randomly in the middle (see references in other reviews), it cannot restart without having an Internet connection again. 1/3/23 update: I tried using the app while out on a walk and not on airplane mode, and it consumed 86+ MB of cell data to play one audio file!
