In July this year, the editorial team of Modlitwa w drodze (MWD) conducted a survey among its listeners. The goal was to get listeners’ opinions on the quality of the meditations shared through this popular application. At the same time, information was also collected about who the statistical recipients of this online prayer application are. 2,586 people took part in the survey, which is nearly 10% of approx. 28,000 of the daily users. The average rating is 4.41 on a 5-point scale. Women (4.48) rate the application significantly better than men (4.28). Married people value it the most (4.44). The average rating of people with children is 4.46, and of people without children – 4.29.
As the results of the survey show, Modlitwa w drodze greatly helps in the practice of prayer and in spiritual development and understanding of the Gospel (4.66). It helps to a slightly smaller, but still very high extent in the relationship with God and attentiveness to God’s actions (4.60) and in the relationship with each other (4.37).
Modlitwa w drodze is rated best by people who listen to it while walking or running (4.45) and those who listen to the prayer at home (4.44).
In questions regarding technical matters, the voice of the lecturers (4.58) and the music (4.37) are rated the highest. These opinions do not show any significant differences due to the age and gender of the respondents.
A small proportion (20%) of people expect slightly more intellectually engaging content. For the vast majority of people, the content of the meditations is optimally understandable.
The vast majority of respondents (78%) consider the duration of the prayer to be optimal. Also, time for reflection is optimal for the vast majority of people. Only 23% of those taking part in the survey thought it was too short.
64.31% of respondents were women. 21 people did not provide information about their gender (less than 1%). The dominant age group were people between 45 and 54 years of age (33%) and between 35 and 44 years of age (29%). The largest number of listeners lives in large cities, over 500,000 inhabitants (26%) and in villages (20%). According to the survey, 66% of MWD listeners are married and 19% are single. 71% of listeners declare having a child or children. 97% of respondents declare themselves Catholic and 3% as Christians other than Catholics. 73% of respondents declare that they listen to us every day, and 21% once or several times a week. 63% of respondents declare that they listen to us at home. 20% then drive a car.
Gratitude dominated among the free responses (641 responses). Many respondents shared situations in which MWD is helpful for them (323). 247 people suggested certain solutions regarding the prayers, as well as promotional and fundraising activities.
