Echo Prayer
Echo Prayer is a mobile app that helps users build consistent prayer habits by organizing prayer lists, setting reminders via push notifications or email, and tracking answered prayers. It includes a "Pray Now" focused prayer mode with an optional timer and a library of guided prayers on various topics.
The app serves individuals, small groups, families, and churches. Users can share prayer requests privately with others or follow community prayer feeds from churches and ministries. A free tier covers core prayer tracking and reminders; the Echo Plus subscription (around $2.99/month or $14.99/year) unlocks unlimited sharing and feed creation features.

Our verdict
Echo Prayer knows exactly what it is: a tool to help you actually remember to pray for the people and things you care about. You build lists, set reminders that surface a name or request at the times you choose, and you can share requests with family, a small group or a whole church. It does not try to be a devotional or a meditation platform, and that focus is its strength.
The execution is clean and modern. The interface is uncluttered, adding requests takes seconds, and the reminder system is the real payoff, turning good intentions into a steady rhythm of remembered prayer. Group and church sharing make it a natural fit for small groups who want a shared prayer list that everyone can update, and the free core covers what most people need, with an optional Echo Plus+ subscription for extra features.
What you will not find here is guided content, teaching, or audio, so it works best alongside a Bible app or a devotional rather than as your only prayer app. Judged purely as a prayer-list and reminder tool, though, Echo is one of the best options available, and the fact that its essentials are free makes it easy to recommend to anyone who keeps forgetting who they promised to pray for.
