This is a show stopper! If I cannot stop them, I am deleting this app and the handbook. This is very annoying. It’s not bearable. Do not download!!!! ### 1/5 — Hacked *2024-05-13, version 7.4.1* Appears hacked with advertisements ### 1/5 — Ads inappropriate & distracting... *2020-07-15, version 5.2* These prayers are meant to serve as a meditation for members of the Legion of Mary the world over...please get rid of ads... will gladly pay a fee for this app.... without distracting & inappropriate ads...... ☮️✝️ Also ads for tictok....Chinese effort to access financial data from God fearing users!!!!! ☮️ ### 1/5 — Not working *2016-05-12* If really love this app to work but it's just stuck on the home screen... ### 2/5 — Problem with ad *2024-12-20, version 7.4.1* My app is not working. The pop up ad at bottom of page will not close or open. I can’t see below the ad. I deleted the app and reinstalled with no change. ### 2/5 — Ads are terrible running from drag shows to divorce *2024-05-04, version 7.4.1* This is a clunky, low effort app so copy the prayers yourself to Notes. I had hoped it would aid praying the Tessera but over the past few months, numerous gross ads began automatically popping up to include divorce lawyers and drag shows and many others. I do not know if the developer, Joseph Stalin (!) Alucious (Aloysius?) is seeking to monetize this app to make some cash but as of today, I'm done with it. As an alternative, I am copying the prayers to Notes. This avoids ads which are nearly impossible to minimize and you aren't bothered by the apps inability to start at the top of the next page. Do yourself a favor and cut and paste the prayers. ### 3/5 — Background color makes reading difficult *2020-05-15, version 5.2* I am happy that the Tessera is in an app, however it should follow the paper version with a white background to make it readable for everyone, especially to be considerate of people who have eye difficulties or color blindness. Also the choice of font should follow the original type face using Times Roman, again to help with reading the prayers. ### 3/5 — Great but too many distracting pop up ads *2019-11-01, version 5.2* Great to have the Tessera on the go but the ads about divination are disconcerting at the very least and still pop up after I enabled iphone security settings. Yes the pop up ads ### 3/5 — Not happy *2018-10-26, version 1.8* Pages do not turn or move up. Difficult to use. ### 4/5 — Enjoy except for age restriction *2020-01-14, version 5.2* We have started using this app as part of our rosary on the road. We are enjoying it immensely. However, my daughters can’t get it on their phone as it is 17+. Is there a need for that age restriction? Thanks! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What I need for daily prayer *2025-12-04, version 7.4.1* I use this every day to fulfill my Legion Of Mary prayers. I would like to see Edel Quinn’s name fixed on the heading of the prayer instead of Queen, as I pray, those prayers every day also. Thank you for creating an app that we can use. ### 5/5 — President of Immaculate aHeart of Mary Junior presidium *2021-10-20, version 5.2* Awesome thank you so much ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great resource *2020-09-23, version 5.2* I really appreciate having this available on my phone, which I always have with me due to being self-employed. My eyes would be happier with an option to change the background color to white and maybe even an option for white text on a dark background. I often struggle with eye strain by the end of the day and find the black text on blue background difficult to read. Thanks for the great app regardless! ### 5/5 — Thank you for this great resource *2020-02-11* Very good. Every legionary should have this on their phone. God bless ### 5/5 — Simple the best *2018-02-19, version 1.6* The best app than ever I had. ### 4/5 — Allow user to set alarm *2019-11-28, version 5.2* Thank you for adding St Raphael in concluding prayer. The reminder for the Catena seems to be hard coded for 8:00 AM. Can this be set by user? Thank you and God bless ### 4/5 — Misspelling in Spanish *2019-02-27, version 1.8* Nice app!!! I would give it a 5 star if they correct misspelled. For example, in first page, nombre should be spelled with an “n” not with an “m”. Please double check for spelling. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
