This is such a help for my shut in visits
5 YR UPDATE: I can't believe after 5 years of "development" this app has not gotten any better. This app is still an embarrassment to the LCMS. Come on CPH. It's depressing to see the current state of digital development at cph. This app is unreliable, and looks and functions dated. I can't possibly imagine using this in a service, where I am relying on it to work. Scripture references do not always work when clicked on. Navigation has not been thought out. It's embarrassing to the LCMS.
Great pastoral resource! I use it every day in my visiting. They fixed the notes feature so I can enter hymn texts that aren't already in the hymn section. The psalm tones are a big hero to me, too, since I enjoy chanting the psalms.
Good app, but needs to be a bit more user friendly. For instance, I can add bookmarks, but can't see any way to remove them if I need to. Also, if possible, because I use this app to set up sermons (especially when I'm travelling) it would be nice to be able to flag readings or portions of readings that I'd like to use as my texts for any given Sunday (perhaps assign a year stamp or color code so that I could differentiate between archival and current information).
Thank you! Works great.
After more than a year of non-functioning, it works again. And thanks for fixing it do it works in one column.
This app used to work well on my S3, but since upgrading to a Note 4 I am unable to see any of the Psalms and other readings. I press the link and a blank page opens up.
I love having the electronic version of the pastoral care companion. There are a few glitches that I'm going I'll still be able to work through, though. In the "resources" for example, taping on a Bible passage brings up a blank screen instead of the passage. Like I said, hoping to get it figured out.
Too many prayers for the dead, need more prayers for the living. And app too expensive. NO FONT ADJUSTMENT. App very dry in black and white
As far as I can tell, it contains everything that's in the book Pastoral Care Companion from CPH. And it's easy to use.
