## What is iRosary?

Are you looking for peace? Praying the Rosary is a beautiful way to connect with God and find that peace.

iRosary is a special Catholic rosary app for anyone wanting to learn to pray the Rosary, and also for those who already know the prayers well but want a deeper experience than a physical rosary alone.

iRosary Features:

Always-New Audio [requires the Ultra upgrade]
• iRosary creates a fresh audio track each time you listen by mixing multiple recordings of the parts of each prayer. Like hearing a friend pray, you hear the same voice with a different tone and cadence from prayer to prayer. Each rosary audio track is unique.
• The audio track moves the rosary, updating the prayer text and images so you can follow along.
• The rosary and audio always stay in sync, so you can easily switch between listening to the audio and manually using the rosary at any time.
• iRosary includes studio-recorded male and female voices which can be played individually or together, saying alternating parts. You can switch voices at any time.
• iRosary is the perfect companion while traveling. You can control iRosary using the audio controls on your device’s Lock Screen, with your Apple AirPods, and with Apple CarPlay.
• A built-in Speed control lets you adjust prayer pacing to the rhythm that works best for you.

Natural Motion Rosary
• The iRosary rosary moves like a physical rosary and, when praying without audio, is used to advance the prayers by moving it with your fingers. The tactile feel helps connect you to the prayers.
• You can customize the look of the rosary using the built-in rosary design tool. [Ultra increases the options to more than 180,000 possible designs]
• You can place the rosary on either side of the screen for ease of use. Just drag it to the side you want.

Curated Images
• To help you meditate on each mystery, iRosary includes high-resolution images of famous religious paintings by artists such as El Greco and Murillo. We curated these from a review of thousands of paintings to closely match the theme of each mystery.
• [Ultra more than doubles the number of paintings and adds the ability to switch between them]
• You can adjust how much of the screen is used by the prayer text and the images. For example, you can fill the screen with the images or display more text with smaller images.

Privacy
• We believe your prayer life is a special, private time between you and God.
• We do not display ads within iRosary.
• We do not track your usage of iRosary.

Even More
• The Ultra upgrade also adds the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
• Ultra subscriptions can be purchased, restored, and verified within the app for reliable access.
• We have many more requested features which we will add to this new app.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-08-20, version 2.0*

Super well made and easy to use. If you’ve never prayed a rosary before, this makes it really easy to learn. Even if you have a physical one, following along with this great for the prayers you haven’t memorized.

### 5/5 — Best Rosary App

*2026-08-17, version 2.0*

This app is simple to use and an easy way to honor our Mother Mary

### 4/5 — Great app, Please add Decade Feature

*2026-08-16, version 2.0*

Love the app, could you please add a feature for those who only want to pray a decade or two at a time, like a circle version of the Rosary we can toggle on and work or way around. Thanks so much for the app!!

### 2/5 — Wont complete a rosary

*2026-08-15, version 2.0*

After a few minutes, the program completely stops and play button only brings me to the upgrade screen. Will not resume. Reinstalled but no fix. No support in app to help.

### 4/5 — Art work . . .

*2026-08-13, version 2.0*

. . . is beautiful.  Would be nice to be able to enlarge it to see more detail.  I think the responses would be more effective if they were given by at least two, and the more the better.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-08-10, version 2.0*

This is a truly great app for whenever you don’t have your rosary or can’t use it. Easy to use, has a bit of the feel of a physical rosary. I very much appreciate it and use it often.

### 3/5 — I rosary

*2026-08-09, version 2.0*

I liked previous version better, cannot change beads to large

### 4/5 — Helpful to maintaining prayer

*2026-08-08, version 2.0*

This app is engaging and helpful to the prayerful. It features only English and Spanish, so those who prefer to pray in Latin or are trying to learn the Latin prayers will be sad that this beautiful app can’t be part of that process, especially given that the beads, art, summaries, and fruits are rendered so exquisitely.

### 5/5 — Always with your Rosary

*2026-08-05, version 2.0*

It’s uncommon these days to be without our phones. Having the iRosary allows me to be without excuse to pray this beautiful prayer. I still use it as a guide to help me pray with my physical rosary. In all honesty,  nothing compares to the sensation of beads traveling between your fingers as you pray. There’s a sense of reverence and rhythm to them. That being said, I can imitate a sense of toggling with my thumb while praying using this app. I am so thankful to have this and I purchased the upgrade to be able to customize my rosary along with a few extra features - like the Divine Mercy. The upgrade is a nominal fee for this labor of love by its creators. Get it. You won’t be disappointed.

### 2/5 — Subscription to listen to rosary

*2026-08-03, version 2.0*

I downloaded the app to listen and pray the rosary daily. After 5 minutes of listening to the audio, it paused and required a subscription to continue listening. Makes no sense, Jesus wouldn’t charge someone to listen to his lectures or prayers. I understand it costs money to run an app but you could have easily added a donation tab.
