No, just no. :roll:

This is in no way a substitute for actual in-person confession.

Absolution by the priest must be given in person because the Seal of Confession must be protected and for the sacrament to be valid, there has to be both the matter and the form.

No telephone confessions, no Skype confessions, no iconfessions.

This is not meant to substitute for an in-person confession. The app just prepares one for confession.
