Reviews from users:
Healing relationship with Phone:
Creature Habits helped to heal my relationship with my phone! I had a huge problem with using my phone to feed my dopamine addiction and then always feeling deep shame and distance from God. Upon finding this app, I found myself sitting with my phone AND interacting with God, something that I had just never been able to do before...
I can now connect with God without distraction, even with my phone in my hand— something I thought impossible. He used the very thing that I felt distanced me from His presence to invite me into His Presence through Creature Habits.

Keeping ahold of me:
"I'm absolutely loving this app... I know it has taken a ton of work to create all of this, but God is using it to keep ahold of me... I've been telling people about the app because it really has been helpful."
-Creature Habits user
Perfectionism and Religion:
"I’ve felt like a failure in any kind of spiritual discipline, paralyzed by perfectionism and bound by lack of consistency. I found this app helped me set aside my perfectionism, silenced the religious voices in my head, and gently invited me to simply, only, relationship with God.
Creature Habits is anointed to bring freedom for those who are tired and burned out by religion."

Favorite Features:
Audio Meditations:
"It was especially the meditations in the app that helped me to BE and not DO when it comes to relationship with God. It felt like a wise friend inviting me to ask God a question, then quietly going to another room to intercede for me to hear clearly."
Art:
"I love how the Lord uses the art to speak to me so specifically. When I am looking at it, He asks me, “What do you notice?” and in further conversation with Him, I am surprised by how it applies to my life in such a fresh and meaningful way."
Journal:
"The ever-present journal aspect of the app is SO helpful because each section of the app brings up so much more for me to hear from God."
Daily Examen:
"The daily examen, I have found, has given me a space to acknowledge moments when I felt an absence of God, and helped me to cherish those moments I was aware of His Presence. I realize if I didn’t have this practice, much of my daily life would go unprocessed."
Scripture:
"Reading Scripture in the app is very quality-over-quantity, which I found my heart needed as I did not grow up with any sort of contemplative reading of the Bible. Now I expect the
Lord to speak in relevance to my very own life, no matter the text."
Always more to discover!:
"I am excited that there is always more in the app to discover and so many ways to go deeper!"

In a world where on any train or in any line, everyone's on their phones mindlessly scrolling...
Don't be a victim of any distraction that wants your attention.
With a dozen deep, emotive, entertaining, interactive screens to keep us engaged and learning with God and each other, Creature Habits app aims to make life-building spiritual disciplines, and ways to follow our mission, our favorite distraction.
PRIVACY
It gives room to write a journal to God, to record requests and their developments, and your life goals and habits as well. However all of this data is stored on your device, so there is no risk of your data leaking to others. In fact when you get a new device make sure to copy paste in your responses!
I hope to be able to figure out how to track which pages you use the most so I know what you love and what you don't, and if the app crashes I of course want to know that so I can fix it. And I'd love your feedback (swipe up to submit feedback in the app!)
