networking characteristics. It allows you define multiple networks (e.g. self,
family, team, supporters, etc.) and then choose which of these networks you
want to share individual prayer requests with. For maximum benefit, of course,
those in your network will need to also be using PrayBuzz in order to see your
requests, and to share their requests with you. However, even as personal prayer
journal without the use of the social features, it is a good app. You can also
indicate prayers as being answered, which I appreciate as it promotes are giving

hand. I've not used it much, but it's free and helpful to have. Like Aldiko, it cannot
