### 3/5 — Audio on new version

*2025-07-13, version 4.0.6*

Stutters a few words to start every prayer.

### 3/5 — Voice

*2024-01-21, version 4.0.4*

The latest update on voice is better although I do miss the original voice. Thank you

### 3/5 — New voice

*2024-01-08, version 4.0.4*

New voice is a slight improvement, but still not as good as the original one.

### 2/5 — Option for Fr Gaitely’s voice back

*2023-09-04, version 4.0.2*

I know that now there are 2 selections for the voice. But the previous one with Fr Michael was just the right tempo and mood. I find it difficult to not become distracted with the new voices and have searched elsewhere for the Chaplet. Can you please add Fr Gaitely’s voice back as one of the choices.

### 3/5 — Great updated app, except the narration.

*2023-08-20, version 4.0.2*

As a Marian Helper, I have been using this app on a daily basis for several years.  The new changes to the Chaplet (like showing the image on the screen) are a great addition to the overall experience.  However, the narrator of the previous version (the same person who narrates their rosary app) had a more robust and steady tone of voice, diction, and talking speed. No offense to Fr. Anthony and Br. John, but perhaps there should be a third voice option to retain the same narrator as before.

### 2/5 — If it ain’t broke why fix it

*2023-08-11, version 4.0.2*

Im grateful to you all for what you do and this free app, but in truth it was perfect before you changed it.

### 2/5 — Divine mercy new app

*2023-08-11, version 4.0.2*

The original divine mercy app is perfect! Why the change i do not know! Can you put the original voice back on the divine mercy chaplet ? This new voice is just not right!!

### 4/5 — Even better if the audio is available in different languages

*2023-08-10, version 4.0.2*

Love the app. I’d love to share this with my extended families (in Chinese ) who don’t speak English.

### 4/5 — Like the app

*2023-08-09, version 4.0.2*

I like the app and some of the updates are great but I would love the old voice back. Can you please add it back as an option??

### 2/5 — For the sake

*2023-08-04, version 4.0.2*

I like the new features, but in the spoken Chaplet when Jesus gave the words to St. Faustina he said “For the sake of his sorrowful passion …..” You have removed  ‘For’. That word needs to be put back. Don’t alter what Jesus said.

### 1/5 — Do not like updates and new voice

*2024-02-11, version 4.0.4*

Wish I would have looked before “updating”. Do NOT like the new voice. It wasn’t necessary to change it.  Thankfully I didn’t update on my tablet so will use that but so do. It like it.  Ugh.  WHY?

### 1/5 — Older Voice was perfect!

*2023-12-06, version 4.0.3*

Please bring back the older voice. It was the best! Thank you.

### 1/5 — Se necesita

*2023-10-31, version 4.0.3*

Se necesita que también esté en varios diferentes idiomas por ejemplo en español

### 1/5 — Bring back the previous version please

*2023-08-16, version 4.0.2*

I am not sure why the app was changed.  The new version is terrible.  The beginning of each prayer -“For the sake of His sorrowful passion,” the word for is omitted completely.  Also, the new voice used to say the prayers is distracting.  Why change something that works?

### 1/5 — Prefer the old voice

*2023-08-12, version 4.0.2*

Please update the app again with an option for the old voice. The old voice had the perfect tone and cadence for praying the chaplet.  Until it is changed back I hope I can find another app to pray along with that I like as much. Thank you for the past years of this special chaplet.

### 1/5 — I don’t like the new voice

*2023-08-04, version 4.0.2*

I could hear words better with the old voice

I can’t really hear this voice say words like “For”, it’s too mumbly and quick

### 1/5 — I don’t like the new voice

*2023-08-04, version 4.0.2*

The previous voice you can clearly hear the “For” in “For the sake of His sorrowful passion”

I can’t really hear it with the new voice

### 1/5 — 4.0 version

*2023-08-03, version 4.0.2*

I have had this app for years and use it often. I used the new format for the first time and wish that there was a choice to up grade or not. I really enjoyed the old one better.

### 1/5 — Do not like this new version

*2023-08-02, version 4.0.1*

I have been using this app for years and I loved it.  However in this new version, they have changed the voices. I do not like this new version.  I will be deleting this app

### 1/5 — Was good

*2023-08-01, version 4.0.1*

Was good. Latest update doesn’t work. Was able to complete one time, since have been forced to find alternate source for audio.

### 5/5 — Feature

*2025-06-20, version 4.0.6*

Please move purgatory board and intention for the day on main landing page.  Also adding a widget to IPhone where I don’t need

Life and all those around me.  Thank you God!!!

### 5/5 — I Love the Divine Mercy App!

*2023-12-29, version 4.0.3*

I absolutely love this app by the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception. Thank you so much for this. I love how the Divine Mercy Chaplet is included with audio recording (with 2 voice options). I love the organization and all the sections of the app. I also love that it include lots of prayers, the Divine Mercy Novena (I am currently on Day 4), the articles and videos from their YouTube channel Divine Mercy, the Divine Mercy images, the story, Saint Faustina, and the list goes on! Once again, thank you so much Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary! May God and the Immaculate Conception bless you!
