Are you looking for peace? Praying the rosary is a great way to connect with God and find that peace.
iRosary is a very special Catholic rosary for anyone wanting to learn to pray the rosary and also for those who know the rosary prayers well, but want a deeper experience than with a physical rosary.
iRosary Features:
Always New Audio [requires the Ultra upgrade]
• iRosary creates an audio track each time you listen by mixing multiple recordings of the parts of each prayer. Like hearing a friend pray, you hear the same voice, but with a different tone and cadence from prayer to prayer. Each rosary audio track is unique.
• The audio track moves the rosary, updating the prayer text and images so you can follow along.
• The rosary and audio always stay in sync so you can easily switch between listening to the audio and manually using the rosary at any time.
• iRosary includes studio-recorded male and female voices which can be played individually or together, saying alternating parts. You can switch voices at any time.
• iRosary is the perfect companion while traveling. You can control iRosary using the audio controls on your device’s lock screen, with your Apple AirPods, and Apple CarPlay.
Natural Motion Rosary
• The iRosary rosary moves like a physical rosary and, when praying without audio, it is used to advance the prayers by moving it with your fingers. The tactile feel connects you to the prayers.
• You can customize the look of the rosary using the built-in rosary design tool. [Ultra increases the options to more than 180,000 possible designs]
• You can place the rosary on either side of the screen for ease of use - just drag it to the side you want.
Curated Images
• To help you meditate on each mystery, iRosary includes high-resolution images of famous religious paintings by artists such as El Greco and Murillo. We curated these from a review of thousands of paintings to closely match the theme of each mystery.
[Ultra more than doubles the number of paintings and adds the ability to switch between them]
• You can adjust how much of the screen is used by the prayer text and the images. For example, you can fill the screen with the images or display more text with smaller images.
Privacy
• We believe your prayer life is a special, private time between you and God.
• We do not display ads within iRosary.
• We do not track your usage of iRosary.
Even More
• The Ultra upgrade also adds the Chaplet of Divine Mercy
• We have many more requested features which we will add to this new app!

What's New in iRosary
1.3.1
March 18, 2022
In addition to the Spanish audio, iRosary's interface displays in Spanish when that is the preferred language on your device.
I love this app; it’s helped me pray more regularly and makes it easy to pray anywhere especially when I don’t have a physical rosary on me. It’s also very affordable- $5 for the year. My only negative is that you can’t skip forward beads when you start. I pray a living rosary with a group and am responsible for one decade a day so it would be helpful to skip to where I need to start. Also, I pray a little faster than the voiceover and would like to skip forward at my own pace.
