Only because you and most people are misunderstanding the purpose of that app. It's only to help prepare yourself for confession before a priest. THat's it.

[HalfNelson]

Hebrews 4:14-16

"14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

Only app I need is my Bible Reader app

Maybe the churches need to start charging for confession.

In iPhone terms, $s per megabyte confessed??

I just saw a video online about the app, there's a clip showing a list of "sins" to be check marked [or not]. One of them is:

"I do needless work on Sunday".
