Confessor GO
Emergencies are like that, they come when you least expect it and don't pay attention to reason or logic. One of them is the sudden need to confess the sins that grip one's life. And it can happen to you in any city that is not yours. I don't know: suddenly you have a tremendous desire to eat a piece of hamburger and you let yourself be carried away by gluttony. And of course, you have to confess. But where is there a church here, in this Galician town in the north, to which you have gone just because you have met a girl on the Internet? Eh… Well, the lust we'll leave for later. For cases like this is where the application Confessor GO comes into play.
With the application Confessor GO, created by priest Ricardo Latorreand with nearly 5,000 people already downloaded, you'll be able to quickly find any priest in the area who is willing to have your sins confessed. Its name refers, of course, to the famous game Pokémon GO, but instead of hunting magikarps , we will have to go in search of Father Simon (if that is his name) to confess those sins that torment us. This application is intended to expedite the confession process and not restrict it to the field of the temple: the application can take us to a square, a park or, of course, the church where the priest is at that moment.
The priest himself can enable the option of available or not available according to his situation. When you download the app and open it, a stark (and somewhat crude) splash screen presents three search options:
By proximity
It offers you a list of the priests that are available and that are closest to where you are. In the test, the closest priest was in Huelva (we in Sevilla). This indicates that there are still not too many priests involved in the work method proposed by the application. When you click on the priest's tab, the Google Maps application automatically opens and tells you the closest route to get to the priest. Easier, impossible.
In the map
When you click on this option, a map appears where you can see all the available priests within the national territory.
By provinces
A list of Spanish provinces appears: when you click on it, a map appears and, if there is one, the priests who are currently carrying out the work of confession.
The application, in addition to the typical application sharing and contact form buttons, contains a variety of religious texts such as Works of Mercy, The Ten Commandments, The virtues and vices and Texts and Magistery of the church You have this application available for download in the Play Store At the moment it does not have too many followers, but who knows... We don't think it will be as successful as Pokémon GO but it can provide relief and comfort to thousands of people in our country, well better than better.
