### 3/5 — This app has revived praying the Rosary for me

*2022-06-10, version 2.0.1*

Update- today, after first praying the first Mystery, I left it at the beginning of the second Mystery. A few hours later I came back to it to pick up from where I had left off but found that that app had reset itself back to the beginning of the first Mystery! I hope this doesn’t happen again. I’m posting this here in the hope that the developers will see this since I can’t find an email address for them. 
Update- still enjoying the app but at one point, in the app on my Watch, I saw a “reset” option which did something like take you back to the beginning of the mystery for that day. I found it to be very useful but now I cannot find it and cannot see any info in the phone app about how to find it. —— This sounds crazy, but since getting this app, I pray more of the Rosary on my Apple Watch than I have for a long time on the beads! One thing- the choice of language in the preferences doesn’t work for me. But that’s not a big deal. Specifically, choosing English does nothing.

### 5/5 — Beautiful! In multiple languages too!!

*2021-10-05, version 2.0.1*

I love being able to do the rosary while waiting with my husband getting chemo, without the need to carry my rosary beads! It’s wonderful to have the watch app and turn the crown to advance beads. Turning the crown simulates the tactile sensation of touching the beads! You also get a visual stimulus of the beads, right on the watch face!! And the title of each prayer (in Latin!). Also on the watch face is 5 little dots that get filled in as you advance to each mystery. 

As amazing as it is, I suppose there could be slight changes to improve it vastly! 
1) strong haptic as crown turns to give an additional tactile sensation; and
2) there’s still room on the watch face to show a visual icon or image of which mystery. For example, instead of just showing that you are on the Sorrowful Mystery IV, the image could depict The Carrying of the Cross. Although, I have the prayers memorized, I have to go back to my phone each time, in order to know on what mystery to meditate.  With a small image ( Jesus kneeling, Jesus tied to a pillar or just the scourging whip, a small crown of thorns, angel before Mary, the crucifix, etc.), I could immediately know the mystery and continue without interruption.

It’s a wonderful app as it is; that’s why I give it 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Apps tend to always get updated with new and additional features. So that’s something to consider on your next update! Thank you again for this unique and amazing app for AppleWatch!!

### 4/5 — Great idea, one caveat

*2020-12-01, version 2.0.1*

I was looking for a rosary in Latin app. This does the job very well. But I am guessing most people who say the rosary in Latin would like to be able to remove the luminous mysteries, and add the option to access all mysteries for a complete 15 decades rosary. 
Also I like to have the fruit of the mystery.

### 3/5 — Pretty good but missing features...

*2020-09-01, version 2.0.1*

This app generally gets the job done, and the use of the Apple Watch for the rosary mysteries is a great concept. However, in my opinion this app misses three key features that are crucial in my personal prayer and the prayer of people I know. I also have the impression that they could be easily incorporated (although I have no programming experience) 

1. Scripture for meditating mysteries

I like to read the holy scripture when I meditate the mysteries and I know many other people do too (I.e if I’m meditating on the annunciation I always first read the  passage of scripture that refers to it). 

2. Ability to change the mysteries of the day
 
If the above feature is included, I think its essential that the users are given the ability to change the mysteries of the day. (I.e. that we’re able to pray if we want sorrowful mysteries on a Sunday)

3. Vibration of Apple Watch 

It would be very immersive if my Apple Watch vibrated whenever I rotated the Apple Watch crown (to move through prayers), Instead I only hear a tick.

### 5/5 — + Missing important prayers +

*2020-07-06, version 2.0.1*

Oh My Jesus

Domine Iesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra, salva nos ab igne inferiori, perduc in cćlum omnes animas, prćsertim eas, quć misericordić tuć maxime indigent. Amen.

Final Prayer

Oremus: Deus, cujus Unigénitus, per vitam, mortem et resurrectiónem suam nobis salútis ćtérnć prćmia comparávit: concéde, qućsumus; ut, hćc mystéria sanctíssimo beátć Maríć Virginis Rosário recoléntes; et imitémur quod cóntinent, et quod promíttunt, assequámur. Per eúmdem Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2020-01-12, version 2.0.1*

Keep making my Apple Watch shut in the middle of the rosary, I tried everything, including re-installing and keeps happening.

### 5/5 — No More Lost Rosaries!

*2019-11-07, version 1.1.1*

I sure hope all the people who have found all the rosaries I have lost throughout my life are praying with them.

I love having a rosary on my watch, and especially love that I don’t have to search for one. 

I do agree that a haptics tap at the Our Father would be helpful.  

God bless your work, and thank you!

### 5/5 — Lay out

*2019-04-15, version 1.1.1*

I love that you have everything to pray I would like to know the steps of what to pray first . Thanks

### 3/5 — A nice idea!

*2019-02-11, version 1.1.1*

While this app is a nice idea, particularly for AppleWatch, I wish there was a different haptic for each big bead following the Hail Marys so you don’t have to stare at the screen when praying and be able to close your eyes without needing to check where you are.
