Very cool. It's a new app to walk you through making a good confession.

- Mark Shea Catholic and Loving It

I had this app on the iphone and loved it. Thanks for bringing it to Android. Such a simple and effective way to prepare for confession.

- Nancy Android

You may be skeptical about using an iPhone or iPad app to help you prepare for a sacrament. I'll admit that I was… but after having tested and thoroughly reviewed the Confession app, I'm hooked!

Can I use this?

Yes, provided you do it with a spirit of reverence for the sacrament. Many of our users have found the Sacrament of Confession easier when they use the app during confession - the app has been designed as an aide to your confession, like a journal or prayer card.

Does the Vatican approve?

The app has been granted imprimatur which represents the approval of our local Bishop, Kevin C. Rhodes. The imprimatur is not an endorsement by the bishop of the contents of the app - It is a public declaration that nothing offensive to Catholic teaching on faith and morals has been found in it.

Do I still need a priest?

Yes. This app is intended to help a person prepare for the sacrament of Confession with a Catholic priest. It is not intended to function as a replacement for confession!

What's an imprimatur?

An Imprimatur is an official declaration by the Catholic Church that a work may be produced. Imprimatur derives from the Latin, "let it be printed," and having an imprimatur means that the local Bishop (in our case, Bishop Kevin C. Rhodes) has reviewed our work and found it to be in accord with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Apps for Tech Savy Catholics

Can modern technology help strengthen our faith? According to Pope Benedict XVI the right application can.

In his recently released papal document, "Truth, Proclamation and Authenticity of Life in the Digital Age," Pope Benedict XVI says it's not enough to just "proclaim the Gospel through the new media," but one must also "witness consistently."

Little i Apps specializes in mobile application development with a Roman Catholic twist. With our team, it's not uncommon to find the newest coding books lined up next to texts like St. Augustine's Confessions or John Paul II's Theology of the Body. We make apps for Catholics like ourselves - for those tapped into technology but grounded in the Catholic faith..

Confession: A Roman Catholic App

Little iApps Releases Its First iPhone™ Application


South Bend, IN —Little iApps, LLC is pleased to announce the release of Confession: A Roman Catholic App_, its very first application for iPhone™, iPad, and iPod touch©. Developed for those who frequent the sacrament and those who wish to return, this confession helper is priced at $1.99 and is available for download at the iTunes store. This announcement follows directly on the heels of Pope Benedict's message for the 45th World Communications Day address in which he emphasized that new media, "if used wisely, can contribute to the satisfaction of the desire for meaning, truth and unity which remain the most profound aspirations of each human being.”


Designed to be used in the confessional, this app is the perfect aid for every penitent. With a personalized examination of conscience for each user, password protected profiles, and a step-by-step guide to the sacrament, this app invites Catholics to prayerfully prepare for and participate in the Rite of Penance. Individuals who have been away from the sacrament for some time will find Confession A Roman Catholic App to be a useful and inviting tool.


The text of this app was developed in collaboration with Rev. Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, executive Director of the Secretariat for Doctrine and Pastoral Practices of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Rev. ^Dan Scheidt, pastor of Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Mishawaka, IN. The app received an imprimatur from Bishop Kevin C. Rhodes of the Diocese of Fort Wayne – South Bend. It is the first known imprimatur to be given for an iPhone™, iPad, or iPod touch© application.


Pope Benedict's general prayer intention for January 2011 was, "that young people may learn to use modern means of social communication for their personal growth and to better prepare themselves to serve society.” Little iApps developer and co-founder, Patrick Leinen, said, "Our desire is to invite Catholics to engage in their faith through digital technology. Taking to heart Pope Benedict XVI's message from last years' World Communications Address, our goal with this project is to offer a digital application that is truly ‘new media at the service of the Word.' The app has already aided one man in returning to the sacrament after 20 years. We hope many more will take advantage of this new confession resource.”
