Padre Pio, also known as Saint Pio of Pietrelcina (Italian: Pio da Pietrelcina), (25 May 1887 – 23 September 1968), was an Italian friar, priest, stigmatist and mystic, now venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. Born Francesco Forgione, he was given the name of Pius (Italian: Pio) when he joined the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin.

Padre Pio became famous for exhibiting stigmata for most of his life, thereby generating much interest. He was both beatified (1999) and canonized (2002) by Pope John Paul II.

Porque hay q pagar para rezar? Está de más. Borre el app cuando sea gratis me avisan

**Developer response:** Perdón, pero la app es gratuita y se pueden rezar las oraciones sin ningún costo. La versión premium de la app, que tiene más funciones adicionales a la versión gratuita, es la que tiene un costo y sirve para mantener el desarrollo y mantenimiento de las apps.

### 1/5 — computer voice

*2024-12-08*

Disappointed to find it was a computer voice not a person very mechanical and unnatural…..Update I followed the developers advice and downloaded different voices,  they are still stilted computer voices they are not human. If it had a human speaking it would be lovely but that computer voice ruins it for me . I appreciate the work you’ve put in but Please record a real human, sorry I cannot use this app .

**Developer response:** There are several voice options in the settings tab. You can choose between several available voices according to your preferences. Make sure to download the enhanced voices as they sound much better. You can also change the speed of the voice to suit your needs. Thank you for using our app.
