Providing you with general Catholic devotions and litanies compiled by Rev. Bonaventure Hammer, O.F.M.:

When you just wake up and about to begin the day, there are "Morning Prayers".

When you are about to end the day, there are "Evening Prayers".

When you attend the mass (but it is not advisable to use iPhone during the mass), there are "Prayers at Holy Mass".

When you have finished attending a mass, there are "Prayers after Mass".

When you want to go for Confession and you want to prepare yourself better by praying, there are "Prayers before Confession".

When you have received Sacrament of Reconciliation, there are "Prayers after Confession".

When you are about to receive the Body and Blood of Christ (it is not advisable to use iPhone during the mass), there are "Prayers before Communion".

When you have received the Communion, there are also "Prayers after Communion".

When you want to go for Adoration, there is prayer "Visit to Blessed Sacrament".

There are also other prayers included in this app:

Prayer to Sacred Heart of Jesus
Prayer to Our Suffering Redeemer
Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary
Prayer for All Things Necessary to Salvation

And the four approved litanies:

Litany of the Most Holy Name of Jesus
Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Litany of Loreto
Litany of All Saints

With reminder feature, you can set daily reminder or location-based reminder to encourage yourself to pray more. For the location-based reminder, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Please pray for holy souls in Purgatory and also for me as I continue to develop Catholic apps.

Some bad moments

The prayers are beautiful & convenient when you need to refocus or simply offer praise. I grab my phone before I get out if bed for the morning offering its a glorious way to start the day.
Love the APP. Thanks for created. I start prayer more than before.
Very well organized and grouped for convenience with four approved Litanies! ALL of which received a Nihil Obstat Remy Laport, S.T.L., Censor Librorum, and an Imprimatur by John M. Farley, Archbishop of New York. Assuring liturgical accuracy! Very important. Wonderful too!
Richie has done it again! His apps provide a wonderful means for daily prayer, using the traditional prayers handed down through generations of Catholics! Im downloading all of his apps and have not been disappointed with any of them. Hope he keeps them coming. Hes given us a powerful means to fulfill our obligation to pray.
