### 5/5 — Rosary Beginner

*2020-07-28*

Text with the cross and every bead.  Smooth transition between each bead on the rosary.  Downloaded and delete three other rosary apps before liking this the best.

### 5/5 — Best rosary app

*2020-06-15*

When I got my new iPhone, I was so sad when it told me this app wasn’t available on the App Store. I downloaded 10 other rosary apps, but none had the easy swipe, the Bible verses with each mystery, or the custom prayers at the end. I was so happy when my phone told me this app was available again a few months ago!

### 5/5 — Simple but effective

*2019-02-20, version 2*

Lots of rosary apps try to be too clever and gimmicky. This just works... well.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-11-17*

Such an easy way to teach the rosary. Every Catholic child should have this app in their phones. Great learning tool.

### 5/5 — Love the App!

*2018-11-01, version 2*

Great App for my daily Rosary!
Easy to use

### 5/5 — Best Rosary App Yet!!!

*2018-07-31, version 2*

When I first opened the app, I thought I was wasting my time with it but then I started to think it was rather good. 
First of all, the app automatically has the rosary set to the mystery of the day which is extremely useful. They have all the prayers written out for you and your device vibrates each time you go to another bead. 
The only thing I think should be fixed is that the vibrations tend to get annoying. I think it would be more useful if the device only vibrated each time you finished a decade or section of the rosary.
But even with my suggestion, I love this app and now understand why it has such good ratings!!!👍🏻

I actually found that you can go to settings and change it to whatever you want!!! Pls get this app!!!!!!!!

I just prayed a rosary and know I want to pray another one! This app gets me motivated to pray more! 
This app also allows you to add a prayer to the begging and/or end of the rosary. In my case, I like to pray the St.Michael prayer at the end of my rosary so I went to google and typed in: St.Michael prayer. Then, I copied it and pasted into the app. Now at the end of my rosary, I can pray the prayer!!!!

In the settings they have donations you can give to the app makers and I’m thinking about donating but I first want to ask if the donation will be used to make more religious apps.
I also hope that they take away the price for the Angelus app bc they are trying to make money but people are paying to try to pray more or practice there religion more when they can probably find another app with the same content. Maybe not as good but still another app.

*2018-05-24, version 2*

Utterly superb

### 5/5 — A Digital Blessing

*2018-03-15*

Simple and elegant user interface.  The added meditations are nice.  Hope they expand upon these

### 5/5 — Audible and vibrating cues!!!

*2018-03-05*

Catholic friends - this is the best Rosary app I’ve come across. I’ve been looking for one that allows me to say the rosary w/out having to look at my phone screen when moving through the decades. This one does the trick!!  It offers up vibrating and audible cues (u can turn off both)  there are unique indicators to tell you where u are in the decade and to advance u just swipe across the screen. So glad I found it!!

### 5/5 — BY FAR, the simplest by far!!

*2018-02-21*

I’ve tried many different apps, and this is by far the simplest for me, a busy mom trying to say my daily rosary. The best feature is I can swipe with one hand without looking while driving to keep track. The app makes it so simple to follow. It has all of the prayers needed, and even rosary beads at the top to see where you are if you lose count. HIGHLY recommend!

### 5/5 — Love new update

*2018-01-23*

I love the simplicity of this app, and the update with the haptic vibration after you finish a row of Hail Mary’s is perfect

### 5/5 — Great App for a Beginner or Expert

*2017-10-14*

This app is appropriate and useful for me, a convert to the Catholic faith, as well as for my husband who is a Cradle Catholic. The app is not intimidating. The simplicity is inviting and makes me want to pray the Rosary as a daily practice.

### 5/5 — So happy to have found this

*2017-08-21*

Very simple means of prayer and meditation that I can take with me anywhere. So functional and convenient. Keeps my place while reciting the rosary. Thank you for creating this app

### 5/5 — Perfect Rosary Guide

*2017-08-16*

I always enjoy praying the rosary but can't always remember the exact words in special prayers. It is also hard for me to remember the mysteries. This rosary guide was exactly what I needed. Thank you and God Bless You for helping people like me pray the rosary right!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-07-29*

I wrote a prayer in the custom prayer section. Actually to small for me to read. Then it shows up right before I start the rosary. Great!

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

*2017-04-11*

I use this all the time. Thank you for a great step-by-step app.

### 3/5 — App usually is spot on, but there are glitches

*2024-02-15*

I’ve been pleased with this app for some time, and it has done well until this school season. I find it is stuck on the Sorrowful Mysteries although most of the time the actual decades start with the day’s remembrances. 

I gave it 3 stars because of the current reliability, I will uninstall and reinstall after my next IOS update. I may upgrade it to 4 stars if reinstall fixes the current glitch, if it doesn’t I’ll just quit using the app. It he worked well for me for some time now, I wish it were still working as before!

### 4/5 — Great free, guided rosary, no narration

*2024-04-11*

This rosary looked to be free and easy guide. I was looking for something that was narrated so I can play it in my car on the way to work this rosary peers to not have the narrated feature. I am looking for something a little different, but this one look to be very good.

### 4/5 — Update Please

*2024-02-20*

Please update the Apostle Creed to reflect what is being use during Catholic Mass. I’d like to suggest to help younger children to include  audio for them to follow along. Those 2 would make it a 5 stars for me. Thank you and God Bless.

### 4/5 — Helpful and almost accurate

*2017-09-05*

This app is plain and simple, as advertised. My only complaint is that in the "Glory be" prayer, the term Holy Ghost is used instead of Holy Spirit. When I pray, I substitute Spirit for Ghost, but I wish it were written that way.

### 4/5 — One request

*2015-09-01, version 1.1*

Possible to put a double vibration and different sound for the big beeds ? So that you will notice without looking at the screen that you have ended the session and proceeding to the next mystery or prayer.

Then it will be a perfect app!

### 4/5 — Love it but

*2015-04-09, version 1.1*

But PLEASE IN SPANISH I can read English, but I know it better in Spanish. I Promise 5 starts and a really good review if you do!!!! ;) PLEASE SPANISH!!!!! SPANISH!!!!!! Thanks :) :)

### 4/5 — Rosary

*2014-03-29*

A very handy app when you don't have the beads in your hand

### 5/5 — Best rosary app by far

*2026-02-21*

I’ve been using this for over 5 years now. Anytime I try a different app, I come back to this one. I love that you don’t have to look at the phone screen, you can just swipe and feel the vibration, similar to moving through the beads of a rosary. I love the customized prayers at the end. I love the Bible verse at the beginning of each mystery to focus my prayers. It’s perfect!

### 5/5 — My favorite rosary app!!

*2025-09-29*

I love that this app is no-nonsense, straightforward, you can set it by a certain mystery or automatic, and add a custom prayer or intention if you want. I LOVE that it lets me advance by decades as well as by individual beads. If you’re looking for the rosary app that is NOT barraging you with 100 distracting photos / random music / AI bots trying to chat, this is it. It’s just the rosary. That’s it. I love it.

If I were to give any feedback, I would maybe suggest letting users change the accent color. The blue is lovely, but sometimes I wish I could pick another color. I love the app though and haven’t found anything better out there.

### 5/5 — Pocket rosary

*2025-09-16*

I’ve tried several rosary apps, this is by far the easiest to use and steam lined but still has essential and helpful features/options.

## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — App is now spot on, but were glitches - possibly user error.

*2025-02-10*

I am very pleased (Five Stars) with this app, when I haven’t my rosary with me I can pray the day’s mysteries easily with only occasionally losing my place. A great help in my prayer life, and one of my most reliable prayer apps. 

Initially I dropped it to 3 stars because after months of use it stuck on the sorrowful mysteries no matter the day! It resolved with reinstallation which likely turned the cellular data control on. Possibly it didn’t link to the iPhone calendar after a few iOS updates but now it I left the cellular data on. Most apps I keep the data off to save battery life.

### 5/5 — App usually is spot on, but there are glitches

*2025-02-03*

I am very pleased (Five Stars) with this app, when I haven’t my rosary with me I can pray the day’s mysteries easily with only occasionally losing my place. A great help in my prayer life. 

While I did find it stuck on the sorrowful mysteries in a previous iteration, which resolved with reinstallation, it may also have been due to my cellular data plan. With a new phone & great battery management, my daily mystery cycle updates when I open the app - I am thankful!

I gave it 3 stars because of the current reliability, I will uninstall and reinstall after my next IOS update. I may upgrade it to 4 stars if reinstall fixes the current glitch, if it doesn’t I’ll just quit using the app. It he worked well for me for some time now, I wish it were still working as before!

### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2024-10-17*

It’s perfect when you’re on the go. And if you have to leave it, it stays right where you left off. ❤️🙏 Thank you 🥰

### 5/5 — Amazing Rosary

*2023-12-10*

I have tried many different Catholic Apps for praying the rosary, and this is by far the best. Aesthetically pleasing and perfectly well organized, the option to skip to the mysteries and the different options and customization of the rosary itself, and on top of all that, completely for free without ads: this app deserves 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Simple

*2021-08-10, version 2.2*

Exactly what I needed

### 5/5 — Protestant user

*2021-04-20*

I’ll be using your apps every day.

### 5/5 — Very easy to use

*2020-12-22, version 2.2*

Once you open the app, you can use it right away, and you wont be confused.
