Best Rosary App

I have used this app for several years and it is still my go to. The app includes several options for helping with deep meditation on the mysteries depending on the amount of time you have. I particularly like the beginning where it reminds you of the gift of the particular mystery, and the added praise in each Hail Mary that helps you stay focused. I also use the artwork, scriptural passages, and reflections available for each mystery when praying a Holy Hour where I have more time. I still use a physical rosary during prayer, but there is also a virtual rosary to pray along with if you prefer. I definitely recommend this app! I use it daily.

Is there no audio?

I have the book I thought I could listen and meditate. Disappointed there is no audio

Happy to purchase, but need audio

I’m sad that audio is not included. My prayer time is while walking and driving, so this app, although lovely and meaningful, is of limited use to me.

Beautiful but would like audio

This app is wonderfully thoughtful and well-designed. I do, however, wish there was a read-aloud audio as I would love to participate while I’m busy doing dishes or chores. Thanks!

4 stars because

I think this is a well done app. Great reflections. Ability to open the scripture reference if desired, beautiful art.......but, I would add to my wish list the ability for this to be an audio version option also. Brings to life for me. Of course, the right voice is critical, so maybe you are looking for that perfect voice still.

New Appreciation for the Rosary

I have been praying a daily Rosary for years. I make knotted-cord Rosaries for my local parish and for a number of ministries. So I have a deep devotion. But this app has opened up an extraordinary freshness and beauty in my prayer. The Gospel meditations have taken on a new reality that leads me into prayer with greater clarity and fruitfulness. Highly recommended!

Fabulous!!

It’s a fabulous APP! Stunning artwork and the scripture and reflections allow for deep meditations. Very user friendly, too!!

Silent prayer

Beautiful and enriching

Good but Limited Usefulness

Beautiful, yes. Helpfully meditative, yes. But until this app adds an audio option it will have limited usefulness. Many will want that feature to allow prayer while resting, while walking in the great outdoors, even driving.

Audio?

This Rosary app would be PERFECT if there was audio!

Great Rosary App

I love this rosary app. With most rosary apps this one has classic paintings but this one has actually high quality and beautiful paintings. It also has good material to meditate on for the mysteries. I just realized that you are supposed to be doing mental prayer on the subject matter of the mysteries. That means using the subject matter as a jumping off point for a colloquy — a conversation— with God. The meditation offered with each mystery really help with this. My only request would be to allow the traditional order of the mysteries. But you can always manually switch to another mystery. Thank you.

Beautiful app

Great beautiful artwork and layout!!! Best rosary app out there.

Beautiful and helpful for meditating on the mysteries

Beautiful rosary app. Gorgeous artwork. Very user friendly with each mystery reiterated during each Hail Mary to facilitate meditation. I appreciate the added Concluding Prayer after each decade. One detail that I appreciated is the icon at the bottom right of the screen (a little book with a cross on the cover) which allows you to choose a set of mysteries. Then click on the other icon at the bottom left of the screen (a little pair of praying hands) to return to the mysteries to begin to pray the rosary. After clicking on the Begin to Pray - Opening Prayers box, you will need to scroll along the set of virtual rosary beads in order to find the Our Father and the Hail Mary (3x) for the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity.

Rosary App

Very thorough rosary app. Opens easily, gives me the current day’s mystery and the devotion to use along with the prayers - very nice. Connection to scripture a real bonus! Simple, precise, exactly the tool to pray the Rosary no matter where i am. Beautiful art too. Thanks so much!

An Opportunity to Grow in Love and Grace!

High-achievers like myself can approach the Rosary prayer simply and intentionally with this app. It’s ease of use, beautiful design, and intelligent built-in guides facilitate deep reflection on the divine mysteries of our Lord’s remarkable life without the hassle of a complicated interface. It’s ease of use and beauty also makes it highly shareable too (with those new to the prayer of the Rosary). Love it!!

Beautiful, elegant and powerful!

This app is simply elegant and beautiful. The interface is easy to use, the haptics are not distracting and overall the app environment does not get in the way of prayer. On the contrary, the accompanying selection of beautiful images, scripture passages and meditations help the person get deeper into the mystery being considered. And if this wasn’t good enough in itself, the rosary designs by the team at Seraphym are absolutely gorgeous! This product surely will help bring that meditative dimension to the vocal prayers of the Rosary. Kudos to the developer team!

Excellent App

This is such an excellent app for praying the Rosary in a contemplative style of prayer. I love this app and has been a long awaited welcome. Thank you to all involved in making this possible!

Beautiful Contemplative Rosary

This contemplative rosary is wonderful in both the beauty of the pictures for each mystery and in the ease of use. With one touch I can either read the scripture passage for the mystery or the meditation so that I can ponder as I pray the Hail Marys of each decade. I also appreciate how as I move along each bead within a decade the picture of that mystery appears, allowing for a deeper meditation. Thank you for a very beautiful rosary!

What I’ve been waiting for!

It’s easy to pray the Our Father, Hail Marys, Glory Be, and Fatima five times around without pondering very well the mystery- the message that God is sending through it, and the fruit He wants you to have from it. This problem is explored and solved in Dan Burke and Connie Rossini’s book, “The Contemplative Rosary”, and is now in app form, to take with you anywhere! Like the book, each time you pray the Rosary with this app, you will have a clear guide to help you focus and more deeply understand what Mother Mary and Jesus want to give you through this prayer.

There are paths you can take through the app depending on how you like to pray- with a virtual rosary, or with a real one. You can take a longer time with the reflections, or a shorter one, which is so convenient, as your time to pray can vary. Regardless, my experience in rosary prayer now is much deeper. The art is also stunningly beautiful, as is the app’s design.

You may explore each set of mysteries and their meditations at any time, but the app sets you up for the proper set each day. There are also links to the wonderful people at spiritualdirection.com, who built this app. Explore their website to find out more about how to build an authentic Catholic kingdom of the heart for Christ to dwell in.

Get the app now and sit with Mother Mary for awhile - she is waiting!
