User Reviews for Reimagining the Examen

This app draws me closer to God!

My college age son told me about this app and I’ve been using it for about a year now. I love it! It draws me closer to God and helps me mature and discuss life with Him. I usually use it at the end of the day, around 4 or 5:00. Thank you for making this app! I have also made an app (called I Deserve a Donut and other lies that make you eat) so I know how much work it is! I appreciate you guys!

So lovely—and one frustration

I love this app, and include it in my weekly prayer rhythm. It's lovely, well designed, engaging, and really helps me to connect with God and grow as a Christian person. My frustration is a technical one: the app screen closes automatically and my iPhone locks after only a very short time, so I keep having to interrupt my prayer to put on a password! Other prayer apps are set to stay open while in use--this little design tweak would take it to 5 stars for sure.

Helpful prompts & one suggestion

I was recently introduced to Examen prayers and was happy to find your app when looking for more information. I am grateful for the variety of prompts. My one suggestion is to adapt the app so ones own music could be chosen over the preloaded (which I find distracting)...even if I mute the app, it does not allow itunes to play simultaneously from the same device. Otherwise, kudos on this app! Many thanks for developing it.

Fantastic App!

This app is wonderful--Simple to use with many varieties to fit your mood or day. It helps keep me focused on the posts of the examen especially out in public where it is harder to pray (or when my mind is especially "frisky"). It's a button to push when the need to do something on my phone is there. I've even handed it to my teens on occasion when I could tell they were bored--they liked it! Thank you!

It is the door into a deeper relationship with God

I tried for years to make the EXAMEN part of my prayer life but could “never find the time”. This leads me through a prayer process I can do anywhere, any time. Waiting in line. Before lunch. It quickly guides me into self-reflection, gratitude, awareness of God’s movement in my life and a desire for a closer relationship. I now put a reminder on my phone and open myself up to grace.

It is so helpful

I have really had good reflections while reading these and contemplating my response. I love the variety of catagoties offered. The only problem with the app is that it turns off too soon. If I sit and reflect without touching the screen it turns off and sends me to the home page or a totally different examen. There is no picking up where you left off—and this is distracting—breaking the train of thought as I have to go and search for the title and page I was previously on.

So effective

I love this app! I stumbled upon it totally by accident when I did a Google search for the Examen steps. It’s now the only thing I’ll use for my examination of conscience. Whenever I’d do the Examen on my own I felt my spiritual wheels spinning - I kept focusing on the same points of gratitude and the same vague sins. The prompts in this app are so insightful that I often find myself in tears by the end and I feel spiritually stronger - or maybe more attuned is a better description. Praise God for this app, those who created it, and those who will use it.

Best Examen app so far.

This app is beautifully designed in helping one examine their conscience daily. It provides many topics to meditate upon or it randomly selects a topic upon opening the app. Very nice. The iPhone X has no issues accessing all the features available. This Examen app is an excellent tool in setting the tone for my day or blessing me with a sense of peace in the evening.

Very helpful

I have been trying off and on for years to pray the examen consistently and never succeeding. The book of Reimagining the Examen was the best resource I had found but still not quite what I needed. The app is perfect. I like the way it walks me through step by step, and I like the flexibility to take its suggestion of a specific examen or select my own choice . Having it on my phone is convenient to encourage me to pray at bedtime instead of randomly scrolling.

Delightful Examen Experience

I’ve loved this app for quite some time as a little variety here and there is so helpful for my examen time. With the latest update, I don’t have to worry about losing my place when my phone autolocks so I can really focus on my time with God without paying so much attention to my phone. I can enter into long periods of prayer between pages without lugging around a book. Fantastic app and so grateful for the latest update!

Description

Reimagining the Examen offers a unique prayer experience that’s tailored to your needs and mood. Each Examen, based on St. Ignatius’s 500-year-old prayer, guides you through a stimulating reflection on your day, helping you invite God into your nitty-gritty.

Choose an Examen that matches your current state of being, or pray that day’s scheduled reflection. Reimagining the Examen, created by Loyola Press, is based on Mark Thibodeaux, SJ’s best-selling book, “Reimagining the Ignatian Examen,” which offers flexible and adaptable versions of the Examen. Begin the app experience today to invite grace, gratitude, and insight into your daily life. What is the Examen? St. Ignatius of Loyola created the Examen to be a very short prayer that can be prayed at any time. In the Examen, we review our recent past to find God and his blessings in our daily life. Ignatius would say that the Examen should be the most important moment of our day, because this moment affects every other moment. How Do I Pray the Examen? There are five simple steps to the Examen, which this app leads you through: 1. Relish the moments that went well and all of the gifts you have today. 2. Request that the Spirit lead you through your review of the day. 3. Review your day. 4. Repent of any mistakes or failures. 5. Resolve, in concrete ways, to live tomorrow well.
