### 3/5 — Missing the old version!

*2020-08-17, version 2.0.1*

Loved the old version with the visual of the whole rosary. Don’t love this one

### 4/5 — Beautiful Rosary App

*2020-05-03, version 2.0.1*

This app is terrific, however, it would be perfect if The Fatima Prayer was inserted after each decade. Thank you so much for creating the app!

### 4/5 — Fatima Prayer?

*2020-04-03, version 2.0.1*

I love this app! In the next update, would you consider adding the Fatima Prayer to the end of each decade? Thank You!

### 3/5 — Older version better

*2019-10-10, version 2.0.1*

I liked the older version a lot more. It was a bit slower and gave me time to reflect. This simply rushes through it.   I guess that if you are in a hurry, it works?

### 4/5 — Request for Larger Font

*2019-06-04, version 1.0.1*

Can you add a choice to select larger font to read the prayers? Thank you.

### 4/5 — Rosary app

*2019-03-20, version 1.0.1*

Great app! One request, please make third decade a different color than white, perhaps purple. Too hard to see. Thanks!

### 4/5 — 1 suggestion

*2018-11-05, version 1.0.1*

I enjoy using this app to pray the Rosary as I go about my day.  However, it would be helpful if the app stayed open during the entire Rosary instead of having to tap on the screen to keep it active.  I don’t have this problem using other apps.  It makes it hard to pray & drive when the app shuts down after a few minutes.  Thanks!

### 3/5 — Potentially Good

*2018-08-27, version 1.0.1*

The reflections, the expressions of the people praying and the background music were all lovely. However, I found the cut in recordings between each prayer extremely distracting. Perhaps you could continue the recording with the music playing in the quiet prayerful spaces between each prayer. Also, please can you find a way to override the phone closures after a few minutes of prayer. Other Rosary Apps are able to do this, so it is possible. Thanking you in anticipation and God bless you all.

### 3/5 — Simple and Clear, but no Spanish

*2018-02-18, version 1.0.1*

This app’s interface is great, it begins right away and you can have it lead the rosary for you or just pause the audio to lead it yourself.  it’s free, i think (I got his a while ago).  Others can download it and you can begin saying the rosary with Those how are unfamiliar with the prayer. The only problem is that it does not have a Spanish translation.  It would be perfect if it did.

### 4/5 — It's good

*2017-09-28, version 1.0.1*

What happen to this app? I had it on my phone for a good 6 months then one day I started to compare the readings of the rosary and seen the words were twisted or they didn't match. So I deleted the app and tried to find something else. But when I tired to look for it. It was banned in the northern American App Store but not in the others. So I love this app I love how it makes you feel your apart with people praying. The only one thing I would complain about is the speed for my taste it's too fast. But if you guys could fix couple of words who There quote when you pray that be great but this app is still 🌟🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 3/5 — Practical

*2017-07-05, version 1.0.1*

Simple & practical as i just need to press one button after each prayer. Perhaps the color of the beads on the 3rd decade be changed to a more contrasting color;-)

### 3/5 — Good

*2016-11-10, version 1.0.1*

The person who recites the Hail Marys leaves too long of a pause between each Hail Mary if you're listening to it you want to get started and he's not ready it's too slow on the other hand it keeps excellent count of where you are you can go right to it you can stop and start again later and the prayers before each of the mysteries are very beautiful

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No sound

*2021-01-03, version 2.0.1*

Prepare to pray alone. No sound. Downloaded it twice. Other rosary apps work fine so I know it’s the app and not my phone.

### 1/5 — Really disappointed

*2020-02-12, version 2.0.1*

I downloaded this with the hope it would help. It does not.  The prayers are said so fast Way too fast to follow along with.  The group sounds like it’s mumbling and trying to just Get the Rosary Over with.  If you want a good Rosary app don’t buy this one.  It is a waste of time.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t continue to play when the screen locks

*2017-11-07, version 1.0.1*

I was excited to see it was an audible.  However, the excitement soon faded when the screen locked and the sound was gone.

### 1/5 — Incorrect information. Very disappointing

*2017-10-17, version 1.0.1*

I do not recommend. It appears they didn't even take the time to make sure the words in the prayers were correct. Some prayers are way off. Don't waste your time with this application

### 1/5 — Don't get this app

*2015-11-15, version 1.0.1*

I don't recommend this app. It worked well two times and after that it says "waiting". I can't open or delete it. 😞

### 2/5 — Bugged my phone

*2020-07-05, version 2.0.1*

I enjoyed using this app as it was really helpful in showing me how to learn to pray the rosary. But unfortunately, a day after it was downloaded, the internet on my phone slowed down and eventually stopped working and I had to delete the app and reset my network settings to get the internet working again. Such a shame.

### 2/5 — Simple but turns off with screen off

*2019-10-08, version 2.0.1*

I like it, its simple not complicated but it turns off if you let go of the screen. I want something that continues to say the rosary even if the screen shuts off or stays on while praying the rosary. I kept tapping the screen so it will stay and its not safe for driving. It doesn’t say the first mystery at all, skipped to the second right away and there is no let us pray at the end. There is no glory be and oh my jesus after each mystery and no alarm setting as well

### 2/5 — Would be better without recorded 1 Hail Mary throughout!

*2017-05-17, version 1.0.1*

Wish they didn't have to use 1 recorded Hail Mary throughout.  The pause on each Hail Mary while they rewind or playing it again doesn't sound good.  Would've been nice if it was a continuation and all Hail Marys said instead of playing a recording each time. It does the job though!

### 2/5 — Problems

*2017-03-07, version 1.0.1*

Long pauses in between prayers which always made me think I pressed a wrong button or accidentally shut something off

### 2/5 — Workable

*2016-06-28, version 1.0.1*

I love the voices and the pace and the prayers are said in unison and not like a race. But the gaps between each Hail Mary is disruptive and shows a poor recording. Why can't a whole decade be recorded rather than each Hail Mary? Plus it doesn't keep playing if my phone goes in sleep mode.

### 5/5 — Use this App daily!

*2021-05-28, version 2.0.1*

I have used this App for a year and I really like praying with Fr. Peyton. The pace is perfect for me, as others are just too slow. The meditations at each mystery are excellent.  15 minutes beginning to end.

### 5/5 — Soooo much better and more soothing in the past (version)

*2020-09-26, version 2.0.1*

I’m changing my review below because I listen to this every day and I’m going to for a year. It’s the only way I can get through the rosary each day. So I really do need this application. I liked the soothing voice before, but I would be lost without this app 

I’m so sorry that I have to say that I’ve had this app for years, and before you could actually see all the beads and where are you were on it, and the voice in the background voices were so soothing (I would recommend the App to ALL my hundreds of clients, and also friends)!  This one (voice) is a little bit harsh and kind of annoying to most people I know. Inn impinge this recommend it. I sure wish they hadn’t changed it and I’m not even certain why they did; it was so great before!!!!!!!  I’m so sorry to have to say that but I wish so much that it would go back to the previous version

### 5/5 — Still simple but needs a tiny bit improvements ❤️

*2020-02-01, version 2.0.1*

I love this app. It is still simple but better. I finally updated to this new version and enjoyed it very much. It is better, however, there are a few differences I would like to see improve. First, the ability to change the speed of the prayers to our liking (they are said too fast), second, I keep hearing a repeating clicking sound in the background when prayed the Hail Mary prayer. Third, the volume is a bit too low that I had to adjust the volume of my ipad to hear better (I’m hard of hearing.) And lastly, when I skip the Mysteries (instead of hearing the explanation) I have to press play again when skipped to the first our Father in the next decade instead of automatically keep going. 

Don’t get me wrong, I still love this app. These are just some things I would love to see change in a update. Thanks so much! :)

### 5/5 — Family Rosary

*2019-10-10, version 2.0.1*

We love this app. The pace is very good. Not too fast and not too slow. We have used other app’s to pray the Rosary with however different leaders, male and female and reciters all sound different and various styles and speed. We found all those things very distracting and off putting. Fr. Payton is one strong ( not weak) steady voice and pace. Very conducive to focused attention. His  descriptions of each decade is both beautiful and thoughtful. 🎚

### 5/5 — Sweet Update!

*2019-09-19, version 2.0*

Love the new update, thank you for making this app!!

### 5/5 — Very good

*2017-10-29, version 1.0.1*

Good app, especially the intro to each mystery. I don't think this has all the prayers though in the rosary, I think there's a few more before and after. Also doesn't contain "O my Jesus forgive us our sins and save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those whom most need your mercy" after the Glory Be after each decade. Other than that, great app, thanks!

### 5/5 — Great for a busy schedule

*2017-04-10, version 1.0.1*

I love that the audio and I can incorporate the rosary into any part of my day. I would like it if they can incorporate the Fatima prayer please. If you turn lower power mode off on your phone it will play through whole rosary. ❤😊✝

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2017-02-12, version 1.0.1*

I love this..l trying to get back to my faith and this is very helpful

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2017-01-05, version 1.0.1*

This is wonderful support tool for saying the Rosary. I generally use it with the sound turned off and advance it manually so do not notice the pause between the Hail Mary's.
I have two minor suggestions/requests for when an update is made. 
1. The beads in the third decade are very hard to see when lit up, perhaps a brighter color?
2. The font size for the prayers is way too small, there appears to be plenty of white space to enable a larger font.

Thank you again for providing this.

### 5/5 — Lords Prayer is NOT missing

*2016-12-13, version 1.0.1*

Read the Bible passage and scroll down. It's there. 
I never listen to the app as I prefer to pray at my own pace.
I do have to remember to click the pause button because the app auto advances to the next prayer independently of my manual advances. This resulted in a few 7 Hail Mary decades before I realized what was happening. 
App does exactly what I want it to do.
