There are twenty mysteries reflected upon in the Rosary, and these are divided into the five JOYFUL MYSTERIES, the five SORROWFUL MYSTERIES, the five GLORIOUS MYSTERIES, and the five LUMINOUS MYSTERIES. The App will automatically offer to play the appropriate mystery based on the day of the week. You also have the opportunity manually to play and pray any of the mysteries. In the winter of 2010, this statue of the Virgin Mary was found, broken in half, lying next to a dumpster, because she was being thrown away. The man who found this holy statue rescued her and took her home. Dirty, chipped and broken in half, Our Blessed Mother was put together again. The man who repaired her requested that she be painted and have her broken hands mended. He wanted to make her new again and perfect. But the man who found her simply said, “No, she is broken, just like me. We all are broken and in need of repair. She represents the broken.” Everyone can join in with the recitation of the rosary daily by using the technology here. Simply select the day, recite the rosary and meditate at home, during a work break, or ride or walk. There is comfort in prayer, through the sacred rosary. The complete story of Broken Mary is included in the in app. ## Key features - Daily mystery selection - Manual mystery selection - Guided Rosary recitation - Meditative prayer experience - The story of Broken Mary ## Recent user reviews (10 of 12) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pray-the-rosary-broken-mary/id943800472/reviews.md ### 5/5 — 10 Stars. *2026-04-22* Absolutely wonderful app and 10 star narration. Yes I REALIZE there are only five stars available, but only God can get a 10 star review in a five star limited app. Second, in reading reviews — people need to understand that app developers are limited to what the Apple iPhone platform allows them to do. You cannot out “out-engineer” the iPhones limitations for developers. All “complaints” are the iPhones own “iOS limitations” - NOT the developers failures. It’s a wonderful app. One of the best Rosary apps available. THANKS SO MUCH! 🙏🏼 **Developer response:** Thank you for this. Your kudos are much appreciated. I truly hope v2 of the app addressed most of the complaints that cropped up in the older version over the years. ### 4/5 — Thank you *2024-12-15* I really enjoy using the app, I wish there was a way to update it so the app doesn’t turn off every time the screen goes black. ### 5/5 — App not working *2022-04-10* I can no longer open the app. I put prayer requests on the app daily. But as of last week I have not been able to get on. Is it something that can be resolved ? Thank you Patricia Trubiano ### 4/5 — My experience *2022-03-25* Praying the rosary with someone is comforting , I’m also grateful that the app offers information about the story of Broken Mary as well as the opportunity to leave a prayer request. I have however had trouble opening the app for use with my Bluetooth hearing aids not sure how to troubleshoot that. It links to the Bluetooth in my car well but must tap on the screen of the cellphone occasionally to keep the app running to complete the rosary. Hopefully this problem can be fixed. 🙏🏻📿 ### 3/5 — App turns off *2021-05-29* Thank you for your persistence with this project. Problem: The Rosary keeps stopping and cuts off. Maybe when my phone goes to sleep? Not sure because I like to close my eyes when I pray. Then it starts all over again when I open it back up. ### 2/5 — App keeps stopping *2020-03-25* I’m so frustrated with this app. While I love Kevin’s soothing voice my app will play the first five prayers and then shuts down. When I go to restart it starts all over. I noticed others have complained about this. I use an iPhone 7 Plus. Can this app be updated ?? ### 3/5 — App cuts off *2020-01-17* I recently purchased the book, read it & loved it. I have been praying the Novena of Mary Undoer of Knots for several years. PLEASE fix the app so if your phone shuts off, rings, if your navigation app starts giving a direction (I spend a lot of time in my car. I pray a lot while I’m driving.) or if you have to momentarily stop praying for some reason, this app will start back up where it left off. It shut off 2 times within 1 block this morning when I was trying it for the 1st time. Each time, instead of starting back up, some crazy music came on that I would never listen to. Then, when I went back to the app, I had to start the Rosary from the beginning. I knew that the devil was trying to prevent me from saying my Rosary this morning on my drive to work. So, I went back to the Rosary App I usually use. I generously give the app 3 stars. Only, because it is faith base & good intentions. Also, perk it up some. The app is so gloomy... ### 4/5 — Nearly perfect... *2020-01-10* Kevin Matthews does the best job of praying/narrating the rosary than most other audio files and recordings. Unfortunately, if you don’t change the settings on your phone, (IPhone in my case,) when the screen goes blank the audio stops. ### 4/5 — Great app but needs a few fixes *2019-06-08* 1. App turns off when phone goes to sleep 2. Would be nice to have a timer feature. I like to end my day with the rosary and would be nice to have it turnoff automatically when finished (while phone is in sleep mode) ### 5/5 — Great app—needs one fix, though *2019-04-30* This is a great app for guidance when praying the rosary. Kevin Matthews’ voice is very calming and comforting. Saw him last night at a presentation of his book, “Broken Mary,” which I love so much! The only thing that I wish the developer, Ed, would fix is to ensure that the rosary does not stop if my iPhone display goes to sleep. It is disconcerting to either change the settings or to have to keep touching my phone every couple of minutes. I especially love typing a prayer into the app, and seeing the reassurance that my prayer has been heard! I was very grateful to be able to see and touch the Broken Mary statue. If you haven’t yet read this book, you should! ## Frequently asked questions about Pray The Rosary ### What mysteries are included in Pray The Rosary?
