Available in English, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian languages, this app makes it possible to contemplate the mysteries of the Holy Rosary through the visualization of artworks of great artists of history. There are more than 200 images about the mysteries of Christ's life that help to pray and meditate on the moment related to each mystery. The images have always been widely used by the church as a catechesis tool for the people. With them, the sacred writings take shape allowing anyone to understand the infinite love of God. With this app it is possible to meditate through many images of the same mystery, allowing to observe the same moment of different perspectives, with different details emphasized by the artist and his experience with the Word of God. We hope this app also be a rescue of the sacred art, so rich and so abundant in the history of the Catholic Church. ## Key features - Contemplate Rosary mysteries visually - Over 200 historical artworks - Multiple images per mystery - Available in 4 languages - Focus on sacred art ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Donate | $0.99 | one-time | | Donate | $1.99 | one-time | | Donate | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 18) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/contemplatio-rosary-on-images/id1434771807/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Great aid for personal prayer *2025-12-13* I love these images of the rosary. I’m days when we are not praying a public rosary in church I use this app to help keep me focused. I appreciate the music some days and some days I prefer the silence. These images are especially helpful with the Flame of Love rosary which has an additional petition in it since it does not recite the rosary orally. You can take as much time as you like to contemplate each mystery without being rushed. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2025-12-07* This rosary app is the best, simple but rich. I’m easily distracted. I use other apps, books, various brochures. This app is my favorite, I always come back to this. **Developer response:** God bless you! ### 4/5 — Favorite rosary app *2025-12-02* The combination of true art and digital technology brings St Teresa of Avila’s advice to aid prayer into our culture. I wish the artwork was available when not online. **Developer response:** Hello!! I'm very happy that you enjoyed Contemplatio. When an image is displayed, it is saved on the device to be shown when there is no internet connection. God Bless you! ### 5/5 — Best Rosary app *2024-09-21* I have tried a few and this is my favorite. The artwork varies and helps keep me prayerful and focused. I like I can either swipe or use my beads and skip to the end. ### 5/5 — Heals my day better than mindfulness *2024-05-01* This app is excellent, more effective than mindfulness or the rosary itself because the images and music draw you out of your negative energy state so much more quickly. Very grateful for whoever made this with such taste and beauty. My only gripe is the app locks or won’t open sometimes. Please could you update the version? **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, Marco. There's a new version in the store. Let me know if it's working well sending an email to thieberson@outlook.com ### 5/5 — Images *2023-11-21* Very nice app but please update some of the images. Some are just frightening and eerie (artist interpretation). Thanks **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I'm a solo developer and can't spend a lot of time updating Contemplatio (although that's what I'd like to do). I'm planning to include an "avoid image" button so that it never appears. Please be patient! If you'd like to help, please consider donating. Thanks and God bless you! ### 5/5 — Incredible! Love! *2023-10-09* Really helps to focus and allow God to aid your contemplation. Especially good for those with ADHD. Beautiful artwork, chant, and Scripture. My kids love it too. When I ask which rosary should we pray tonight? (We've used some pretty good ones on youtube) They always pick this Ap. 🙏🏻 **Developer response:** Hello, sorry for the late reply. What an amazing story. I'm so glad the app is helping children to love the Rosary and Our Lady. Thank you for sharing ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2023-05-16* It makes the rosary less dull! ### 5/5 — Enter a Sacred Space *2023-02-23* The rosary is my favorite prayer and I am always seaching for a way to meditate more deeply on the mysteries. I have many sacred art books that serve this purpose, but this app takes it to a whole new level. The blending of sacred art, music, and contemplation points makes this app stand out among others. As I hold my beads, this app provides a way to engage in prayer with audio, visual and tactile elements. It is a wonderful, sensory experience and my prayers are deeper and more meaningful because of it. I love the dozens of images, the beautiful music, the contemplation points, and scripture embedded withing each mystery. Thank you for bringing me closer to Jesus through Mary. I can’t thank you enough for developing this outstanding app! ### 4/5 — Love the app but issues lately *2022-12-01* As of the latest iPhone updates, the app will not pull the pictures and it freezes. Please fix. I really do love the app. **Developer response:** There is a new version in the store. Please update the app and if you like, update the rate to 5 stars. Thank you. ## Frequently asked questions about Contemplatio ### What languages does Contemplatio support?
