A fairly good article

that talks about the new Confession app that has been in the news so much, and the need for confession.

iPhone Apps and the Old Adam

"A meditation on corporate confession for Ash Wednesday."
The editorialist betrays his/her non-Catholic background by assuming that Catholics approach the sacrament only in an individual sense (though for some that may be true) rather than a corporate sense. They ignore the existence in the Catholic Church of reconciliation services, and Catholic teaching that, while we're admitting individual faults, part of the healing of the sacrament is the healing of broken bonds and relationships with our brothers and sisters caused by our very personal sin. But then, it's an Evangelical magazine, after all...
