About this app

Organise your prayer life with this straightforward and distraction-free app.

Every day, Prayer Mate will select a person or topic that you've entered from each of your main categories (perhaps "My family" or "My small group at church") and show them to you as a series of index cards - then just swipe between them to pray.

Prayer is one of the greatest privileges for the person of faith, and yet most of us wish we were better at it. Now when you say to someone "I'll pray for you!" you can make sure you follow it up.

Features:
* Intuitive index card interface lets you swipe between the day's topics
* Set up your own personal categories and subjects to suit the way you pray
* Subscribe to online prayer diaries, with content from organisations such as London City Mission, Open Doors, UCCF The Christian Unions, Church Society and numerous local churches (including your own if you like!)
* Get the Church of England Collect for the Day automatically
* Operation World country for the day feed
* Attach photos and PDFs to prayer points
* Optional daily alarm clock to remind you to pray
* Schedule cards by date or day of the week/month, or just let PrayerMate pick for you
* Attach photos to subjects
* Backup and restore via Dropbox (compatible with iOS version)
* Downloadable prayer gallery

Ratings and reviews

Helps organize prayers and focus on specifics. Many links to add prayers are dead/moved. Has a bit of a learning curve to adapt it to one's personal style, but once going, it is great. It is easy to use for quick moments (waiting, commuting) or long prayers (morning, evening). Easy to change and update items immediately, especially to make sure the request/praise is not forgotten.

Too complicated! Totally defeated my intended purpose, which was to have a quick and simple way to record a prayer request that someone might tell me, or to save something I think of in the course of my day. I want to add items quickly and organize them later (if at all). This app wanted me to jump through a dozen illogical hoops that I didn't want in the first place. And I certainly don't want or need preloaded prayer items. A friend of mine also tried it and never used it for the same reasons.

Originally, I couldn't get the app to sync between the IPAD and my android phone. it just wouldn't work. In response to my original review that pointed it out, the actual developer reached out to me, and tried to help, but unfortunately the syncing is still hit and miss (mostly miss, sadly). I'm disappointed, because other than that, this app is the best of the apps that I've seen out there, and works full screen with Ipad (a couple other apps only work in lame "emulation" mode on partial screen, portrait only). If you don't need to sync across devices, it'd be a good choice.
