Chaplets and Rosary 4+

This is such an excellent app! I just wished that the audio is not robotics because it’s a little bit distracting (can’t wait for it to have some improvements). Very helpful on daily prayers and having a feature where you can have a reminder when to pray it helps keep a good habit of meditation & reflection.

I’ve used this app in conjunction with a tangible rosary a few times, and have found it a bit wobbly.

The following needs work:

Explanation could be clearer of each different option within the app for novices- whst is a novema? Chaplets? The difference between rosaries?

There is no guidance on which beads you should be on, which makes it particularly confusing at the beginning and end of the rosary, and between decades.

There is no description expounding what you are supposed to be meditating on in each decade, only the title of the mystery itself.

Advancing via swiping is finicky and often doesn’t work. Same goes for clicking on selections... and it’s not just on one device. It’s across platforms from iPhone to Apple TV.

Periodically it’s unstable and crashes or gives a “null” error.

It would be great if it clocked your time praying, and added it to your mindfulness minutes in Apple Health. I have to run a second app- a meditation timer- in the background to log the time.

That said, it’s really nice to have something like this available, especially for Apple TV.

The suggestions I have is (1) that the Rosary should have the 10 reflections for each Hail Mary of the decade. For example, for the second Joyful mystery, the Visitation, you reflect on a certain piece of Scripture for each bead. Such as “Charity prompts Mary to hasten to visit Elizabeth in the hour of her need,” “The journey to Elizabeth’s home is about eighty miles requiring four or five days,” “Though long and arduous, the journey is joyous, for Mary bears with her the Incarnate Word,” etc. And (2) the app should allow for the ability to add your own Novenas as well.
