Description:
Note to God was created in MEDL Mobile’s App Incubator. The idea was submitted by Allen Wright of Northern California who said in his submission, “I think that there should be an app so that when you don’t have anyone you can talk to, you can write a note to god.” -- THIS APP HAS BEEN FEATURED ON NBC AND CBS -- IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT EXTENSIVELY ON RELIGIOUS BLOGS AND WEBSITES -- AND IN JANUARY IT WILL BE THE SUBJECT OF A FEATURE STORY ON CNBC -- GET THE APP THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT -- Note to God allows the user to enter a personal note to god. The app is non-denominational and meant to allow anyone with any belief to communicate with their own higher power. In many religions, the act of writing a letter to god is seen as a holy commitment and a legitimate way of communicating one’s spiritual emotions. The Note To God app is simply a digital expression of those same honest feelings. After the note is sent, it disappears. A user cannot recall past notes. This way, the writing of the note can be completely honest and the hitting of send is a true commitment to what’s in the note. Every note that is entered is stored anonymously within the database. Users can read through the notes of others to see what people are praying about. Topics can be searched, notes can be seen at random, or viewers can look at the “Notes In The Cloud,” a custom designed interface that shows the most common words that are being prayed about. The larger the word, the more often it appears. Tap on a word to read notes and prayers that include that word. We hope that Allen’s app will help people form a stronger relationship with their own spirituality. We also hope that this app will serve to remind us all that we have more in common than we often realize. We are proud to call Note to God a Shiny MEDL Object. You can see all of them at www.medlmobile.com. And if you have an idea for an app that you’d like to see on the app store some day, visit www.appincubator.com.

Life Changing...truly.  By: Vallousse - Sep 13, 2009 Version: 1.0 I'm a great believer in prayer but I can say that this app has in a way re-invigorated my prayer life. It's given a deeper understanding of the suffering of others, which has caused me to start praying less selfishly. This is just one of the reasons I think this app is fantastic, but believe me I can go on and on. God bless the person whose idea this was and the person who implemented it. As we say at my house, this was definitely a God idea :)
Self-Centered Thinking Removal App  By: Bears-R-Us - Sep 7, 2009 Version: 1.0 I’ve never been one to have a strong faith or belief in many cases. But, In my life I have learned to believe that there is a higher power or at least something out there just based on experiences that i've had that can not be "random"..... I will tell you this, reading the notes that people have posted in this app will quickly remove any self-centered thinking you might have. You quickly will realize that you are not the only person in this world with problems and in some cases yours are far less worse than you thought. This is a powerful little app in the respect that it can inspire and quickly teach you to be grateful. An attitude of gratitude..... you just might learn to form.
Love this app!  By: Jacquekh - Sep 4, 2009 Version: 1.0 This is an awesome way to pray. You really think about what your saying to God when you write it out. I enjoy reading other prayers,it gives me a chance to pray for them too! One question, how else can you access random prayers other than hitting the smiley face? That seems the only way to have the page refresh with new requests. There should be a refresh button so you can access more prayers. Either way, I think this is an incredible way to submit prayer, and to pray for other peoples requests.
Very powerful concept, one suggestion...  By: Mr. Savvy - Aug 25, 2009 Version: 1.0 Please enable a feature where you can reply to notes, or maybe send a prayer back to people who are going through tough times. I was reading notes this morning and I was torn by the situations some people are going through. I won't say I am the most religious person in the world, but I would really love to show support to the community in this app. I believe this application has great potential, by reading the notes, you see another side of people. Also, posting notes (prayers) is a very relieving.
Very Nice  By: Fyrmom - Aug 23, 2009 Version: 1.0 This is a very nice app. It nice to be able to write down your prayer and send it off. It just seams like your making more of a commitment and focusing better on your thoughts and feelings when you write it down. I also like the ability to read the the clouds. It helps put a little perspective in your life. Great idea. I was also impressed with the young man who came up with the idea for this app. It was obvious from the TV interview that his idea came from the heart.
...  By: Macthecamp - Aug 15, 2009 Version: 1.0 I'll be honest with you guys. When I first saw this app, the first thing I thought of was "moneygrabber", and in a most devious way, too. Playing on people's faiths and superstitions to rake in the green, as well as to promote the app incubator, which has been receiving a buttload of negative reviews. After all, I figured, why spend a buck when you can tell the god of your choice whatever you want, whenever you want, by just shouting into the sky?
But then I used the search function to look for entries by other people. There were too many and too many variations for them to be planted there by the developers. There were endless prayers from people from what appeared to be all walks of life, whether the greedy, the depressed, the grateful, and even the dying, asking and shouting for help and guidance and love and companionship and help because they had no one else to go to, no one else to go for comfort.
And I realized, is that what it was like to be God?
I'm not particularly religious, but I won't delete this app. This app has done more than you probably have realized. It offers an insight, a mirror, if you will, into something that people will rarely feel through an electronic computer screen.
Empathy.

I love it..  By: Killahsmile24 - Aug 2, 2009 Version: 1.0 Been thinkin and hoping for this kind of app.. I didnt expect there is one.. im soooooo happy someone thought of this!! this is a great way to express one's thoughts and feelings - and also to communicate to God..
Admit it or not, people spend more time on their iphones/ipods/computers than they do when it comes to talking to God..
Now praying becomes more handy, more expressive, and fun.. I dont fall asleep anymore while im in a middle of my own prayer..
Get this app!! It's soooo worth every penny..
God gives you hundreds of dollars for you to buy an iphone/itouch and pay for your phonebills.. Give Him at least a dollar.. Buy this app and thank God for all the blessings!!
Best app I have!  By: PugslyPuppy - Aug 16, 2009 Version: 1.0 This is an awesome idea and I love this app. I would give it 5 stars but it is bugging me that you can't use a proper carriage return when typing. Hitting return just takes me out of the text box so my entries just look like one paragraph even if they are totally separate thoughts.
Also, I really wish there was some way to notate on another prayer that you have prayed for someone else (much like the smiley icon). I like the idea of intercessory prayer and would love the opportunity to mark another entry as "prayed for" - even if there was a chance that the original author never saw it again. I think it is very comforting to know that we support and uplift one another in our joys and sorrows.

Very nice APP  By: Emillio94 - Sep 14, 2009 Version: 1.0 Rated this app A+ because is one of a kind and very unique! I really love the idea of writing notes and others can see & read it and pray for you.A+

TOTALLY worth it  By: Jet Angel - Sep 10, 2009 Version: 1.0 But sometimes the little pray button (when you're reading notes) doesn't work. Really great app, buy if you're even considering it. Now you always have someone to talk to.

Best app on ITunes  By: jazzlady926 - Sep 2, 2009 Version: 1.0 This is the best app on ITunes. I would give this app a million stars if I could. This app gives you an opportunity to honestly share your feelings with God in an anonymous way. It also gives you the opportunity to look in the cloud and see the anonymous prayers of others. So many times, we feel we are all alone in how we feel and by seeing the other prayers, we find we are not alone.
I wanted to answer Woodstock Sugar's comments  By: Kenneth Roy - Aug 30, 2009 Version: 1.0 I actually came across one of my questions. It works! It Really helps me when I don't have anyone else to talk to. Praise the Lord!!
It gives you peace  By: pathos22 - Aug 27, 2009 Version: 1.0 Talking to God isn't a problem with me. This app lets me search maybe a particular struggle i'm going through and then lets me pray about other people as well. It's comforting.
