Sadly, the reason why most Catholics no longer go to confession is because our sense of sin has been lost. Now everyone goes to heaven if they are a good person.It’s still around but tweaked from when it first came out.
Almost half of Catholics in America never go to Confession (Confession by Patrick Carey). Are you apprehensive about going to confession? Don’t be. Confession apps are ready to help make your experience in the confessional box less awkward and more transformative. It really is a most transformative and grace-filled adventure to go through the process of a good confession and enjoy the rich mercy promised by Our Lord. Our recommended confession apps are designed to help you every step of the way.
Because the sacrament requires a good effort at an examination of conscience, the apps we selected for your consideration offer a variety of creative means of exploring yourself, your relationship with God and the various ways we rupture that from time to time. First, a word of caution:
Apps of this nature are NOT meant to be a substitute for sacramental confession with a priest. These apps are designed to prepare you to make a good confession with a priest.
Not convinced about the importance of this sacrament? Have questions about it? Forgot how to go to confession? Check out the list of resources linked at the bottom of this post. Finally, yes, you can bring your mobile device into the confessional if it will help you to make a good confession. Go for it.

Ha! My wife and I were talking about those drive throughs, that's actually how the app came up. She didn't remember it but I did, and I was a long way off from converting when it was released IIRC. I think it even made the national news cycle.

Either I'm misremembering the original nature of the app or they made significant changes to it.
Nope not at all, that's why it was so controversial.
I dunno, I may not be remembering it correctly but I could've sworn there was some story or marketing about how the app would even connect you with a priest in Rome for confession. This might've even been in the early days of the app or apps in general and so people were exploring the limits of what apps can do vs what they should do.
