The entries are displayed in rotation so you get different ones each day. Once an entry is displayed, it gets moved to the back of the folder so it won’t return until all of the other entries in that folder have been displayed. If you want an entry to come back more frequently, you can change its “Rotation Speed” in Entry Settings. Just tap the pencil to go to Entry Settings.

Dropbox Backup and Restore:

If you use Prayer Prompter regularly, you will eventually have invested a lot of time in adding your own prayer requests, Scripture passages, answers to prayers, and entries in your prayer journal. Backing up your data to Dropbox on a regular basis is insurance against the possibility of losing it.

If you already have a Dropbox account, setting up the Dropbox backup and restore capability in Prayer Prompter only takes a minute or two. If you don’t already have a free Dropbox account, registering only takes a couple of minutes more. Either way, open Global Settings by tapping the settings wheel on the dashboard.
