Echo Prayer for Android
This app is simple and pretty. It covers the basics of entering prayer requests and getting reminders. But, the roadmap has things like sharing with others (ex. Small Group) & exporting requests (ex. What if I switch phones?), & there's been no progress on those things. So, until they implement some of those things, I can't recommend it.
Loved this app. I had prayer times scheduled for every hour of the waking day to pray for family and friends. The low tone was my reminder. I felt so close to God. Then, the tones stopped. I uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Now looking for another prayer app. I loved this app. Why did the tones stop?
Update: I cannot recommend this app. Recently I have been having a lot of trouble adding new prayers and connecting to the server. It does not appear that this app is going anywhere. Last update was almost a year ago and there have been no updates in the Facebook page suggesting any improvements. Original review: Pretty good, but room for improvement. Improvement 1: Some offline support (can view existing prayers) but cannot add new prayers when not connected to the server. Would be great to be able to sync them later to the server (especially useful for when the server goes down, like right now...). Improvement 2: The back button on some pages brings you all the way back out to the main prayer list. It would be helpful if this went back to the last page instead. For example, when searching for a prayer and selecting a prayer to edit, the back button from the edit page goes to the main prayer list, instead of the search page. Rather annoying. Improvement 3: When praying through the prayers, it would be nice to be able to mark a prayer as answered (or delete it) and be able to continue where I left off. Currently, after marking a prayer as answered, the list returns to the first prayer on the list and I then need to scroll all the way through the list to find where I left off.
This has helped me pray consistently for myself and others for a prolonged period of time. Upped my prayer life to another level. Thanks!
Love the simple design. It looks professional, doesn't look cluttered at all! I cant wait until they develop the app more for youth group sharing and churches can use it!
I like the idea of this app but the push notifications don't come up! That's the real reason I wanted it. Like others have said, it would be nice to have groups for prayers and also I would like to be able to have a reminder repeat every hour or two or something like that. Thank you for your ministry in working on this app!
There were a lot of issues with this app. I have an honest review and within 2 hours everything was fixed. PRAISE THE LORD! I LOVE THIS APP NOW.
Great App Would like it better there was an option that would divide the set prayer time by the number of prayers, so each prayer would get an even amount of time and all would get covered without repetition.
It looks like a really good app, but I can't seem to make an account, everytime I try to submit it always says, "There was an error processing your request just now. Please try again in a moment". Fix it please... I really want to use the app
Love the app but since I traded phones, I don't get the push notifications and don't know why or how to fix it. I would give it a 5 if I did.
The prayer reminder doesn't work I tried this on my phone and tablet
I wish it had the option to set reminder every n'th day. Also creating groups of prayers (eg. "Youth Group" and then a bunch of smaller subtopics to cycle through) would be nice.
Thank you, great, useful app. I also use it to display verses throughout the day. Maybe in the future add colors?
Please don't add anything. I do not want to see prayers etc I want to put my prayer request down so that I don't forget anything. Your app is perfect
It's almost perfect! It's just having a hard time syncing. Hope that gets fixed because I really love the app.
I love the app but I kinda wish the notification tones were longer or customisable...I don't even hear the prayer notification most of the time..
I really liked it, but I have a suggestion for you: please please put progress on the app. This would be amazing!
The app would have been amazing if the push notifications actually worked.
I can't get on
I love this app and how it helps me grow in my prayer life.
Thank you
Great app
Saw from friends. Looks like a great app. Cam we have Google or Facebook login option?
Please allow the ability to share prayers with an automatic add once selected. Please allow for prayers to be imported or exported. Thanks!
I love everything about this app besides only one thing that really isn't a problem at all. I wish that I wasn't required wireless internet connection to create new prayers. I wish I could just create them no matter what state of connection I have. But it's negligible.
I can't get the reminders to work. When i first installed the app it seemed to take a day for them to kick in. Recently restored the app with titanium and they no longer work. I even deleted all my reminders and made them again. Running a nexus 6 with android 6.0.1. Please advise.
Well designed and pretty to look at by keeping it simple, but it gets better by doing the job : reminding you to pray and what to pray for exactly. The ability to mark a prayer answered, just strengthens one's faith and opens your eyes to the Lord's work.
This app has a simple and efficient interface, but it requires an Internet connection to add or modify prayers. Since when do missionaries in 3rd world countries always have access to the Net? Furthermore, uploading to Net should be purely optional. What if I don't want sensitive prayer requests uploaded to the developer's server? Change this and it's a 5 star app. Thankfully unlike other developers this dev doesn't want permission to read all my Contacts which is good.
This is a simple, clean app that allows you to tell it what you want to pray for. Then you set a reminder to pray. Then it reminds you to pray at that time. It also allows you to mark when the prayer has been answered. The only thing I'd like to change on it is that I wish the reminder times could be random (though with the ability to choose not to be reminded at certain times) along with then choosing how many times a day you want to be reminded to pray. Using technology to help me pray more is a great idea.
I like the simplicity of the app. However, could you tell me how can I group my prayers? I think it will help me better manage my prayers
Virtually perfect, would like the time setting for reminders to do what it seems the standard on android to offer, morning, afternoon, evening or night or set times rather than having to set exact time, It would be also great if it had multiple reminders throughout the day IE. the morning and evening. It would also be beneficial to add it to the calendar.
This app has already help my prayer life. Thank you so much
I am glad to have an app to reminds me to take time to read.
I can make use of my smartphone in a meaningful way :) Although I wish i can add prayers without internet connection and just allow it to sync later.
A great tool to help keep you refreshed on prayer needs. It would be great to be able to share your prayer lists with other Echo Users
I have been using this software for some considerable time now and I have to say that it is enormously beneficial to my prayer life. I could not do without it now and realised not long after originally installing it the huge benefits on offer. I would thoroughly recommend it!
Simple, easy to use, straight-forward, and does what I need it to do: remind me what to pray for and when. Hallelujah!
I love this idea, I haven't used it yet but when my cousin showed it to me I was sold immediately. Great way to keep track of prayer points.
Love this.reminds me to pray for others.

Sleek and really easy to use. Is effective in organizing your prayer life. In Luke 18, Jesus crystallizes the power of persistent prayer. Echo gives you a 21st century vehicle to live it out. Thankful for such a well designed app that can compete with end user quality amongst all the other attention grabbing apps on our phones. My prayer is for Echo to show up on screens more than Facebook, clash of clans, Twitter, etc.
