Amen: Catholic Bible & Prayers 4+

Thank you so much for providing the Amen app. It is beautiful in so many ways. I started using It on Ash Wednesday as a way to keep myself more disciplined in prayer. Because I am a caregiver of my elderly mother, I still avoid large groups since the pandemic started, which has affected my prayer and spiritual life. I used to be in a rosary group and a Bible study group. I have felt more isolated praying these last 3 years. Overall I have felt more anxious and lonely trying not to get sick and potentially getting my 93 year old mother sick. God has felt more distant to me. I believe strongly in Christ’s words he gave us on the road to Emmaus, where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am. Using the Amen app allows me to have that again, rather than praying in isolation. With God sense of time is not linear, so when I listen to an Amen meditation, I am praying along with the person who recorded It. I am particularly pleased how calming the voice is on the meditations. I feel a sense of peace and joy listening to the various meditations. If I am tired when listening, I have even become so relaxed I have fallen asleep. What a beautiful way to fall asleep, listening to God’s words! I gave up social media for Lent and added the Amen app. I already feel less anxious after 5 days. The Holy Spirit is with the creators of this application. May God bless and keep them all. I am grateful.

Thank you immensely for taking the time to write the Amen app a thoughtful 5-star review! We are pleased to hear you've found God again through our prayers and meditations. May the Lord bless your time with him!

Initially, I was a bit skeptical with the app. I was afraid it would be glitchy, cheesy, poorly-designed, not user-friendly, not have good content, etc etc. But after using it for a couple days, I’m actually very surprised at how well-made and designed this app is. The background music/sounds are great. The meditations are deep and contemplative. The daily readings and reflections help further my understanding of Scripture and my faith. Someone mentioned how they didn’t like how they background music/sounds didn’t pause when they hit pause but for me personally I love that the background keeps playing. Sometimes I just like to have the calming background music/sounds to continue playing for moments where I need to reflect a little longer than prompted or to just simply have on to pray on my own. One thing however, I did put on a meditation before going to bed with the background sound and fell asleep shortly after the meditation was over but the background sound was still playing all night until I woke up! Not sure how much battery that took up! But overall, really impressed with the app and I’m looking forward to going through all the other content and continue praying with this app! Definitely will donate and contribute to this awesome app! Thank you!

WOW, what a beautiful, thoughtful review! Thank you!! I am sharing your beautiful words with the Amen team and we are incredibly grateful you are enjoying God's word with us! God bless you and please feel free to reach out and to us at help@amenapp.org with any issues, concerns, or feedback! 🙏🏼

I have chronic illness and part of my treatment is to stop every hour and breath (recovery). This app has helped me so much with that. Insomnia is another issue I deal with and I love the sleep options. I also love the journaling option. I can put my intentions for the rosary or make notes or just out what’s in my heart at the moment. One thing I wish were different is in the Rosary or Prayers and readings for the day there was an option to see the prayers if you wanted and to see the scriptures they are reading from. The daily reflections tell you but daily readings do not. If they could be listed and the Prayers and Rosary written out (if we wanted to follow along watching) would make this an even better app. That is, of course, my opinion. This app is amazing and I use it daily. Thank you

I would like to add. Still LOVING THIS APP. If there was a way to make it so we can journal while listening. Instead of the option at the end. Maybe a journal button at bottom so we can journal as we listen. Also. Maybe add a few more Novenas. I am currently finishing up our Lady of Good counsel but didn’t see it in our options.
Keep doing what you are doing. This app is AMAZING

We appreciate you taking the time to share your kind review with us! We are working diligently on expanding the offerings of our free Catholic audio app, so stay tuned!
May the Lord continue to meet you in prayer through Amen and continue to bring peace to your life. Blessings! 😇
