It’s beautiful imagery of the mysteries is not only helpful in focus and clarity but also helps to immediately place you along with the spirit of each mystery. I feel as though I’m transported to each mystery and it never gets monotonous. This particular rosary app would be particularly helpful for beginners learning to the daily rosary. It’s everything you need. Thank you, Joe, for creating this wonderful and inspiring rosary app. Your continued dedication and maintenance to keep it at its finest technology is appreciated and has made such a difference in my spiritual life. God bless you! ### 5/5 — Spread the Faith *2025-01-01, version 3.2.0* This app has motivated me to say my daily rosary.

The audio guidance is clear and soothing, the prayers are easy to follow, and the customizable features allow me to personalize my prayer experience. It's been a wonderful tool for deepening my faith and finding peace. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Prayed Outside at the Local Park! *2024-09-17, version 3.2.0* So awesome to be able to pray with the rosary to an open sky and sunny day! Thank you! 🙏🏻✝️😇🌎 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Incomplete rosary, decades *2026-04-12, version 3.2.0* Some of the mysteries have four decades instead of five. ### 1/5 — Uninspiring voice *2022-01-15, version 3.2.0* When there are online rosaries led by Father Peyton, Father Hayden, Father Kevin Vogel and Jack Soriano (and iterations), this recited rosary needs help. I’ll delete the app. Email me when you wake up ### 2/5 — Rosary app *2025-01-05, version 3.2.0* Love the app the only thing is that it automatically comes back up on my car radio every time I turn car on. ### 2/5 — Captions for deaf ? *2022-05-02, version 3.2.0* Please add captions for the deaf community ### 2/5 — Could be a lot better *2020-03-27* Although I like the voices because it sounds like a family praying together, there are mistakes in when certain prayers are being prayed and not prayed. The Fatima prayer should not be prayed after the first three Hail Marys. Our Lady of Fatima asked us to pray that prayer after each Mystery not after the first three Hail Mary prayers. Also, the last prayer after the Hail Holy Queen is missing. After the HHQ, we should pray, “Let us pray. O God, who’s only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life. Grant we beseech Thee, that by meditating upon these mysteries of the most Holy Roasry of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.” I would like to suggest that you have an image of Mary in the front when the initial prayers are prayed instead of having the image of the mystery right off the bat. It would be nice to also add Rosary beads off to one side so that we know on which Hail Mary we are and to feel as though we actually have a Roasry. An image of Mary at the end of all the mysteries and while the Hail Holy Queen is being prayed would be very nice too. I also pray a Pater, an Ave, and a Gloria at the end (after the HHQ and Let us pray “O God” prayer) for the Pope’s intentions. Could you add those prayers at the end as well? The best part of this app are the voices! 5 stars for the voices alone! But the whole app itself needs much improvement. God bless you for even having and creating this Roasry app. We need the Rosary now more than ever. So thank you for that. ### 2/5 — Corrections needed to honor this prayer *2019-11-27, version 3.2.0* Super sweet voice, but sadly the app comes across as one who doesn’t know the Rosary very well, although the intention is pure and honors God and Our Lady, there are errors in the Fatima prayer after the mysteries on two levels: 1) it is not recited after the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity, but after the 5 mysteries of the decades, as Our Lady asked It to be recited after each mystery and by reciting after the 3 virtues would make the rosary 6 mysteries, right? Also, I was alarmed when the prayer was recited with a seriously wrong word: “Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins and save us “in”the fires of Hell....WHAT??? The preposition is “from” the fires of Hell. This was recited 6 times. Also, there is the lack of the concluding prayer to the rosary: “Oh God, Whose only Begotten Son by His life, death and resurrection has purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation, grant, we beseech Thee, that by meditating upon these mysteries of the most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise through the same Christ, Our Lord! Amen! Perhaps a RE-recording can be done? Then this would be 5 stars!!! God bless you!! ### 3/5 — Crucial issue— wrong Glory Be! *2025-05-01, version 3.2.0* I’ll cut to the chase so this gets read— I’ve used this for years & love it, but it uses the wrong version of the Glory Be! *******The phrase “now and ever shall be, world without end, Amen” is an intentional mistranslation by a Protestant priest,******* which, when given further consideration, makes sense: saying “world WITHOUT end” implies that the glory of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit WOULD end if the world did, which would not be true as the glory of the Trinity is not tied to the Earth or humanity. I’d really prefer to continue using this app, but the update catalogue gap seems to indicate this fix will likely not be implemented. I will send an email to supplement this review, and will unfortunately have to switch to a different app if no response is given to either. I have used this for about 4 years now, and it would be a shame to be forced to delete now. :( ### 3/5 — Nice App *2023-08-16, version 3.2.0* I enjoy using this app when I am praying my rosary alone. It helps me to have the app lead the prayers. My only complaint is when the group is finishing the Hail Mary Prayer they reply “Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners now at the hour of our death.” I believe it should be “Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners now AND at the hour of our death.” The omission of the word AND makes it hard for those of us who pray it as taught to follow along with the App. Please Re-record this app. I love the voice, the speed of the prayers, and the group praying. I just wish that the prayer was on the app correctly. ### 3/5 — Needs some improvements to get a 5 *2021-07-13, version 3.2.0* I think they need to add Amen at the end of the Our Father, they need to announce the Fruits of the Mysteries, they need to say the prayer at the end of the Rosary, and they need to add the St. Michael Prayer! Once they do that it will be 5 stars! Just writing the fruits is not good enough because most people listen while walking or driving can read when doing those two activities’ Pat ### 4/5 — Has no meditations *2024-03-14, version 3.2.0* It is a very simple and straightforward app but it could benefit with features such as an option for meditations to be played before each mystery. Perhaps have an option for music in the background. The recording is very good and very clear. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Holy Rosary App. comment *2026-08-31, version 3.2.0* So thankful for this App! It has helped me pray the rosary meaningfully everyday. ### 5/5 — Thank you for this gift *2026-08-26, version 3.2.0* Raised a Catholic but became born again about 13 years ago. I am so grateful for the patient of our Lord. This rosary program is helping me pray for others who have helped me along the way. Thru program keeps me on track. Thank you ### 5/5 — Best APP EVER!! *2026-06-27, version 3.2.0* Lovely pictures easy to learn and follow ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-05-17, version 3.2.0* This app is really simple - no bells and whistles, but it’s all I need. I love the reader’s voice, it’s soothing and sweet and feels humble and reverent compared so some of the other apps out there. I tried a few before finding this one. You can speed it up if needed - I pray it on my way to work many times and sometimes that 0.1 faster makes a difference! If you’re looking for something that’s to the point and pleasant on the ears, this is the one. ### 5/5 — My favorite *2026-04-25, version 3.2.0* I use everyday for 3 years, almost. Neat app, neat rosary! ### 5/5 — Thank you so much *2026-03-09, version 3.2.0* What a wonderful app, whether you are just learning or and old hand who likes a guided prayer. This is the application for you. God bless ### 5/5 — Great to help you pray! *2026-02-26, version 3.2.0* I love this app! It helps me stay focused when praying the rosary. My kids are less likely to complain when praying with me since they know in advance how long it will take. Sometimes, I let it play in the background, and it brings me peace. Thank you for creating this app! ### 5/5 — We love the girls VOICE who leads the rosary for us. *2026-02-06, version 3.2.0* Her voice is clear, innocent, feminine, & absolutely beautiful. She makes us look forward to praying the rosary every day. ### 5/5 — Holy Rosary standard edition *2026-01-20, version 3.2.0* I have prayed the rosary every day with this app while walking, at the gym, and in the car. I have also suggested this app to my friends. Yesterday when I tried to use the app it is not working. I just get a picture of a white cross and black background. I am so disappointed and hope it will be available again soon. ### 5/5 — Additional Mystery of the Rosary *2026-01-11, version 3.2.0* It’s a great app for reciting the rosary. It would be perfect if it included the Mysteries of Light as instituted by St. Pope John-Paul II. 1) The baptism of Jesus 2) The marriage feast at Cana where Jesus performed what was probably His first public miracle by transforming water into wine at the behest of His mother Mary 3) The proclamation of the Kingdom of God 4) The Transfiguration of our Lord 5) The institution of the Holy Eucharist by Jesus at the last supper with the 12 apostles. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
