Catholic Rosary 4+

Good app-just would like one feature

I am trying to learn how to pray the rosary after never really being taught how to do so. I really like this app and think it’s one of the better ones out there. The only thing I would like to see is a setting where you can choose to have things auto-advance without having to click anything on the app. I could see myself using this in the car or even just in silent prayer and I would like to not have to access my phone to go to the next prayer. Thank you for this app!

Wow, simple and great

I was looking through the many rosary apps and was hesitant to try many of the paid ones as the reviews revealed flaws in all. I downloaded this one yesterday and didn’t get around to trying it until this morning. This was my first time praying the full rosary as I left the Catholic Church as a teen and recently returned some 30 years later. I found the simplicity of the app perfect and I moved through the rosary steadily with the button to advance each bead as i read the prayers aloud. I did not expect to be as moved as I was by praying this, let alone on my iphone. This is now going to be my go to app for learning and praying the rosary. Right after I prayed I learned that October is the month of the rosary and here i did it for the first time on October 1st.

Although I chose to read at my own pace this time, the pacing of the audio built in is very good and the voice used is very soothing. I do plan on using the audio in the future.

Great App! Highly recommended. God Bless the maker of this App. Thank You!

Thank you for the generous feedback and for sharing a bit about your Catholic journey and welcome back home to the Catholic Church!
I'm thrilled that this app could, in a small way, help spark your interest in one of our many beautiful and misunderstood Catholic sacramentals.

I'm a cradle Catholic who (sadly, like many others) took our faith for granted. I succumbed to a secular world view of relativism. Providentially (and ironically), it was the Holy Spirit and my formerly devout non-denominational, protestant wife that helped me to rediscover Catholicism. Once I learned of Bishop Barron, that led to an audiobook of the Confessions of St. Augustine, then subscribing to Word on Fire and watching the "Pivotal Players" and countless Bishop Barron YouTube videos and podcasts. Scott Hahn's, The Fourth Cup, helped me to understand and appreciate the Jewish roots of the Eucharist.

Here are some additonal resources that have helped me with my journey back to the Catholic Church:

Lovely Prayer Resource (except for recent glitch)

The app is not syncing daily to the current date and the associated mysteries for the day of the week. It will sync if I turn off and restart my phone.
Please fix this bug. Thanks.
