Great app!

Love this App! It does alert you at the Angelus Prayer times and allows you to choose the Bell tones. The only thing that would take it to the next step is if the bells would start ringing at the prayer times instead of just sending an alert. Perhaps it does and I haven’t figured it out yet.

What a kind review! The bell you pick should play with each alert when your ringer is on. iPhone mutes it on silent, and we're looking into a way to let it ring through. Thank you for praying with us! God reward you! #PrayTheAngelus

Throwback to old Christendom

I've always wanted to pray the Angelus but never could remember. This app has helped me immensely in remembering when to say it and the bells are a throwback to days of old when the church bells would ring out and call all to prayer.

Deo gratias!!! Your experience is exactly what we hoped for. We're honored to help the old tradition live on in your day. God reward you! #PrayTheAngelus

Lovely and Useful

Since churches no longer ring their bells and I live in a very rural area with only cows and such, no churches, this is so helpful.

Even if I’m grocery shopping, I’ll stop where I am and say the Agelus. I get some strange looks but I don’t care, I’m honoring our Blessed Mother, who I’ll never be ashamed of honoring.

Your witness is beautiful!!! We're honored to be your church bell. Our Lady surely sees your love for her. God reward you! #PrayTheAngelus

The Bells are no longer Silenced

I can remember when you could always hear the church bells where ever you were. Now in this modern time, many have gone silent. With all the noise around us people found it disturbing, and churches gave in. It is so nice to have an app that reminds us through out the day to turn our attention to something more important. To hear those church bells ring once again. It is also great that the prayers are provided. No searching or trying to remember.

Your words moved us. Bringing the bells back into daily life is exactly what we hoped for. Thank you so much for ringing them with us! God reward you! #PrayTheAngelus

Great way to pray

I love the prompts. I’m praying these prayers much more consistently now because of the notifications. I especially love that tapping the notification takes you straight to the prayer, and the bell chimes are going as soon as you open it. It makes it really easy to pause and pray in the moment. Thank you!
