Patron Saints And Candles App Reviews

I love this app.

This app provides prayers to many of the saints in one central location. I love the candle lighting feature. Prayer for intercession by the saints is a powerful tool for aid and protection. This app enhances my prayer life.

Famous saints like Padre Pio, St Rita of Casia, St Jude Thaddeus, Holy Infant Jesus of Prague, St Blaise, Cure of Ars, St Perigrine, and much more

When I send a candle it cc back to me and doesn't go to the person. I love this app but add more saints

The feature where you can view the other candles lit around the world no longer works. Is anyone else experiencing this? Just get a blank map and error message. Otherwise there is nothing not to appreciate.

it is WAY too laggy for the price, and i cannot even use it for more than 2 minutes. I'm disappointed that this good idea doesn't work. ( iphone 6plus)

it's nearly impossible to find a saint based on patronage.

Generally a nice design but terribly incomplete and running the credits prior to every revisit to the app is completely uncouth.

While the candle option is nice, this is missing several popular saints. St. Rose of Lima and St. Martin de Porres being two that were immediately noticed. While I enjoy the ability to look saints up by patronage, it's sort of useless when there are not enough saints to cover many issues. Come across as a lite version.

Good app, but when is the iPad version coming out??

The app is good but their missing a lot of saints.. The app only contains the major saints, meaning they only have the most popular ones..

It has GREAT potential. But it doesn't work. I can't believe it's being sold in the App Store. If it worked, I would write a glowing review because it looks beautiful and the few prayers I could access were well written. I'd like my money back.

And this is, hands down, my favourite. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it universal, or create an iPad version. PLEASE. The concept is fantastic: to those who don't understand Catholic sainthood, it's merely a way to ask those beings who were close to God by their holiness, to intercede for you. One does not pray to a given saint exactly -- but merely invoke his or her name, during prayer. If a saint was connected to a given cause (e.g., Saint Lucy, patroness of the blind, because her eyes were gouged out during her martyrdom), you ask her to intercede for you given her intimate knowledge of the suffering she herself had in life. This app allows you to see the patronage of various saints, to read their bios, and the prayers associated with them; and then, allows you to "light" a virtual candle using your finger to guide a "hand" to the flame. Before doing so, I like to touch on the tolling of the bells audio above, a rather elegant and thoughtful flair. I, too, haven't been able to access the world map to see which other i-Device users have lit candles (for each saint chosen), but I HIGHLY urge devs to bring that back. It's lovely, touching, and uplifting to see the dots around the world, of Catholic Apple fanboys and girls, sharing a prayer all together.

This is one of my favorite apps - very soothing.

Tried looking up various Patron Saints and they are not listed. Disappointed that I paid for this just to delete it.

It's a wonderful app but Saint Monica is not listed. :( I purchased this app hoping she would be. Do you think it's possible to have her soon? Would greatly appreciate it. :)

Please add more Saints. It would be great if my candle on the map is colored so I know it is mine.

No St. Ignatius of Loyola? Seriously?!? He is left out among a number of other notable exceptions. The program is nice, but for a paid app I would expect an occasional update adding to the list of saints.

This is a beautiful app but can we please have saint Blaise?! I bought this for his prayer and he isn't even listed :( very sad!!

I have all the Saints on my iPhone now. I can meditate wherever I feel like. I love the prayer collection. The lighting of the candle and the chiming of the bell are all symbolic and meaningful. Thanks

I love this app! I'm sad to see the reviews that weren't as supportive. I have literally looked for an app like this since I apps came out. Give them time to add more Saints I'm so thankful they have all the ones they do, along with the light the candle option, bells ringing, & looking at the world around you of those who are praying & needing it when you do. I have lost many family/friends over the years. My son has a chronic disease & has suffered since he was young and I longed for such a way to find the right Saint. Now I get several for what I'm looking up and get to pray, light a candle, ring a bell and send a blessing to the person that needs it. It helps me feel like I'm physically going to church & lighting the candle(the bells & picture of the lights in the world praying when you are is just a peaceful added bonus) I'm home bound I can't drive myself to church to lt a candle plus whenever I feel the need, am thinking of someone or hear some news of someone who needs prayers my app is there. I'm so thankful as I have prayed for an app to do this very thing. Be patient give them time to add others look at it as the blessing it is! There isn't a day that goes by that I don't use it. I love that when I want to pray for a particular thing I just put in the subject & the saints that cover that area are listed. Is there one every time I have put in a subject no but 98% there is & that's better than 0. The more prayer the better. It tells about their life when they became Saints their feast day & what they are known for & are on their holy cards. It's the perfect go to app!! God bless all those who worked hard to start this app & continue to work hard to keep it going I pray it never goes away.

I just bought it and it does NOTHING !! 3 options, and they do absolutely nothing (???????).

When I got this app I was happy to get but when I looked up my saint Joan of Arc her feast day was not right. The app had her feast day May 16 when truly its May 30 the day she died. But I do love this though and glad that I got it.

Wish it was updated. use to be able to email candle now it just say it fails. It's one of my favorite apps. I lite saint candles often now I can just go to this app and do it! Hopefully there will be more saints added. It would be nice if all the bios included what they help with.

The candle and church bells lend itself to meditation. Please allow saints to be saved as favorites and please please enlarge the print.

I really enjoy this app. Lighting a candle is a nice touch.

This could be my favorite Application, definately my favorite Prayer Application. It has it all...prayers, candles and bells. It is very cool how you can say the prayer, light the candle and see where else in the world someone lit a candle with that same prayer. Even though there are a great number of Saints/Prayers listed, I hope you will continue to add to more to this Application and perhaps add some Saints of our time such as St. Maximilian Kolby, St. Faustina, St. Pio, St. Gianna Beretta Molla and St. Theresa of Lisieux. Great Application, well worth $1.99, and easy to use. Whether you have a great prayer life or just starting a prayer life, this is a great tool to use. Highly recommend!

Once upon a time it had music. Where is it, now? That’s the only thing that keeps me from giving the 5. I like the idea of using this on my devices...they sort of take me away. Great app...just put the music back, please!

This is a pretty good app. It has good search functions and nice photos and information. A few suggestions: the ability to “bookmark” key saints would be nice (maybe a heart for favorite saint); the frames around the text should be wider so it’s easier to read.
