Shrive2.1 - App Store

Shrive is the ULTIMATE confession App for Catholics providing a variety of features for preparation of the sacrament.

LOG YOUR SINS:
Safely and privately record all of your sins so you will easily be able to read them off to the priest.

REFLECT:
Easily reflect before confession or even when in the confession like to help you make the most honest confession

SEE WHEN YOUR LAST CONFESSION WAS:
Shrive will automatically keep track when you go to confession. Upon first launch, it will ask you approximately when you last went to confession. Shrive also has widgets that count up to when you were last at confession.

COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO CONFESSION:
Whether this is your first or you’ve been confessing for 20 years, we understand that you may get nervous. Shrive will show you exactly what you got to say to the priest in the “Confession Time” menu including the Act of Contrition, your sins, and when your last confession was.

GET CLOSER TO GOD:
Logging your sins the moment you realize them will make you more likely to get to Heaven.

Note: Shrive is NOT a replacement for the sacrament of reconciliation, rather it's a resource that you can use in confession to help you get closer to God.

Version History - Added the ability to choose your act of contrition
- Adopted WilliUI 4 design layout and compliance with Apple Human Interface Guidelines

Will 2.0.1 Jul 11 Say hello to Shrive 2.0, a BIG new update that helps you make better confessions! Here's all of the new features:

Logger:
- Redesigned the logger to make it hopefully easier to use
- Added a "Times Committed" stepper to easily add the amount of times you've committed a sin
- Its still in the same spot, and will help you make more honest confessions

Reflection:
- Redesigned Reflection screen that looks a LOT more visually appealing
- Reflection now has questionnaires for certain sins to help narrow stuff down
- Instead of just adding "lying" to your confession, it will now ask you the nature of the lie to help you narrow it down for better counseling with the priest
- Easily add the amount of times you've committed a certain sin
- The ability to remove stuff if you accidentally added something
- Added subtitles for certain sins that may be harder to understand what they are
- Reflection's sins that get added are no longer "Confusing" or "Different" from what shows, rather its a sentence version of the question that gets asked
- Now locked behind Face ID to protect your privacy because it now shows you what's been added

Confession Time:
- Moved the "Finish Confession" button to the bottom of the screen to make it easier to close out
- Added text that lets you know when you can ask the priest for certain advice
- A celebration screen with Bible verses after you finish confession!

Trend Metrics:
- Added trend metrics, a feature that shows you information about how often you go to confession
- Added average times between confessions
- Once you complete your second confession, a graph will appear along with the average time you've been to confession that can help make confession a habit!

Other:
- Added the ability to preview sins
- Fixed a bug where it would ask for your phone's password instead of trying Face ID first

I hope to continue to make Shrive a better app for everyone :)
