Centering Prayer

authentic rating

People keep it as a daily centering prayer practice based on Thomas Keating: a timer for silence, start and end sound cues, opening and closing readings that help you settle in. It is minimalist and does not ask for 60 dollars a year, which people are grateful for. It breaks on the technical side: the screen goes dark on auto-lock and you have to change phone settings, volume and the ending chime do not always work, there is no watch version, and the app has not been updated in a long time.
