There are lots of books on how to make a proper confession. An App is simply bringing it into the 21st Century.

Catholics must still endure a priest's judgmental tone for absolution.No bias here.

That was my first reaction also, but then I thought, I can't imagine the priest responding to a confession with, "Aww, hell, that's no big deal! Say a few Hail Mary's and you're good to go!" I imagine that a serious tone that invokes a small scale version of The Judgment is actually appropriate.
Of course, YMMV...

I agree. When was the last time any catholic who went to confession would say the priest had a judgmental tone. Complete propaganda hogwash.
To: Integrityrocks
The priests I know are quite happy to be gentle, generous bearers and conduits of the Divine Mercy that is available to all who sincerely seek it.
Been going to confession for almost 40 years and if anything, I would fault some priests for pretending that some serious sins are no big deal.

I haven't confessed my "since" in a long time... That's the first admission you make: "It's been three years since ..."

The Protestant Confession APP would be a group thing ~ with your face in the crowd or something.
We can do this!
Protestant Confession, a mere recitation. A sacrament barely alive. "Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic confession. The Protestant Confession will be that confession. Better than it was before. Better, stronger, faster, and it does all the talking."
Modified Catholic version, single person mode, available on request. Not for sale in all states, or where prohibited by law: (See Wisconsin statutes)

It's my understanding that the app is for a program that helps a person with an Examination of Conscience IN PREPARATION for the Sacrament of Penance. It is NOT a substitute for the Sacrament, and was never meant to be, the breathless reportage of the media, and the barbs of TV comics, notwithstanding.

All this reminds me of the movie “The End,” where Burt Reynolds gave his confession. That was very funny.
