United StatesGood but needs the one year lectionary
This is a decent application but it needs a one year lectionary option. Please add the one year lectionary.
United StatesConvenient and Useful
I don’t always have my Pastoral Care Companion with me, but I’ve always got my phone. This allows me to have access to important prayers and rites I might need when I’m away from the church or have to make an unplanned visit. It has the option for the one-year lectionary, chant pointing for the psalms, and basic hymn texts.
United StatesExcellent.
I love being able to check the upcoming lections while I am in the grocery line. And I am never at a loss for words in any pastoral situation.
United StatesPastoral Care Companion Digitized
The content is exceptional and it is a nifty little app as it will be helpful for any pastor, especially the Lutheran kind. I wish the option to "swipe" a la' book existed.
United StatesWonderful update
The iOS 9 update is a wonderful enhancement of an already excellent app. ANY Pastor (Lutheran or not) could benefit from the wisdom distilled and made so readily available on this app. Thanks CPH!
United StatesWhat a great app!
This is a generous app, and I greatly appreciate the resources included. I agree with the earlier comment that bookmarks should return you to your exact place. This is the first CPH app I've owned which works better than anything else out there, and the first pastoral app to make me wholeheartedly excited. Thank you!
