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

Typically, I love this app. I use it almost daily to pray for people in my church . But the last few days it has crashed multiple times in each prayer session. The app has become almost unusable. My phone said the app keeps creating due to a bug and to clear my cache. Unfortunately that did not solve the issue.

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.

This app has great ideas, but it's not quite there yet. Seems incomplete. It may be an iOS vs. Android issue, as it seems like from the Praymate website that much more development has been done on the iOS version. For instance, there is no way to access the Settings on the Android version, but iOS screenshots has a button for that. Also, the syncing from one device to another does not work.

What's new

Fixed an issue where attempting to download a paid prayer packs might result in a never-ending spinner.
