Just what I need to help pray the rosary! But there is one thing. Please update the app for the new apostles creed. That is the old version. For now I am just using a different sheet for that step. But this is amazing! I love how it shows what bead you are on and how it tells you all the mysteries! ### 5/5 — Mad swag *2015-05-05, version 2.1.2* Swagiest app I have bud... I connect with Jesus on a whole new level bruh ### 5/5 — Cool *2015-05-04, version 2.1.2* Cool ### 5/5 — A Few Bugs *2015-02-22, version 2.1.2* Best app I have! ### 5/5 — Great and simple way to pray you Rosary *2015-02-20, version 2.1.2* I love the simplicity of this app. It's simple and to the point. Being that it's free, it does exactly what I need it to do…guide me along the Rosary. ### 5/5 — Amazing update *2015-01-10, version 2.1.2* The new update is absolutely beautiful!! Great work!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-11-16, version 2.1* Love this app easy to use on both Iphone and ipad. I use it all of the time. ### 5/5 — Rosary *2014-11-09, version 2.0* Helps a lot when praying the rosary than going mind blank and forgetting and helps you learn ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2014-10-03, version 1.6.2* Wonderful tool!! So happy I found this app!! ### 5/5 — GOD BLEES YOU *2014-08-13, version 1.6.2* Thank you so much this is a blessing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rosary app *2015-07-11, version 2.2* I can't get it to open! ### 2/5 — Amendment to earlier Review *2011-10-20* I just wish 1) it would save my Settings within the app when I'm done, 2) I think the Latin needs a little tweaking, & 3) you MUST include this prayer at the BEGINNING of the Rosary, with the accompanying Latin; it's called the Preparatory Prayer: "O God, whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death & resurrection has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise through the same Christ our Lord. Amen." When these are fixed/included, my rating goes to 5 stars a bunch of times!!  OH! YOU'RE ALSO MISSING THE PRAYER "THE MEMORARE" AT THE END AFTER THE "SALVE REGINA", THAT GOES BEFORE ST. MICHAEL'S PRAYER! THATS WHERE WE GIVE OUR PETITIONS! PLEASE ADD! Thank you!!! In XPI Passio, ~K ### 3/5 — Handy. *2015-11-18, version 2.2* This is a nice app. Good to learn how to pray The Rosary. I Just wish it had more detail to the mysteries and more prayers that are said during the rosary. Like The Fatima prayer, and prayer before and after rosary. ### 3/5 — Good, but *2015-07-22, version 2.2* I like this app. It's great for praying the rosary. I'm not sure if it's just Catholics who pray the rosary. I wish the Apostles Creed was up to date. I think the app has the older apostles creed and not the one that the Catholic Church uses now ever since the church went over all of the Latin prayers and translated them all correctly. ### 3/5 — Hasn't been updated in a long time *2014-10-07, version 1.6.2* Crashes on iOS 8 ### 3/5 — Wrong Mysteries *2013-12-12, version 1.6.2* Sunday should be Glorious Mysteries not Joyful. Please fix it ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2015-06-30, version 2.2* I wish this app went more into details on the mysteries instead of just having the title above the prayers. Other than that, it makes it easy for me to pray the rosary in the car, at night when there's no light, and anytime really. I am just learning how to pray the rosary in English, so this app helps with the beginning and end prayers I'm not familiar with. ### 4/5 — I now Can Pray the Rosary! *2015-03-22, version 2.1.2* I never could pray the rosary before. I always got lost. I never get lost now. I tried other apps. But I like this one the best. ### 4/5 — Good App *2015-02-20, version 2.1.2* This app would be so much better if you would add audio for listening in the car. ### 4/5 — Basic *2014-11-18, version 2.1.2* Very good Basic Rosary well pleased. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple *2025-03-22, version 2.7.1* I am new to the rosary and I tried all kinds of guides online. It seemed so complicated but this made it simple. Thanks so much! ### 5/5 — Nice! *2024-12-27, version 2.7.1* So my biggest issue with doing the rosary first thing in the morning is I get so comfortable I fall asleep. With this app, when I wake back up it will still be where I left off. I just click on next and keep going - um, until I wake up again, lather, rinse, repeat. Super simple and very easy to use. ### 5/5 — just what i needed *2024-03-23, version 2.7* thank you for this app. i can now easily pray the rosary anywhere when i don’t have mine with me. easy to use and straightforward, will be recommending this to others! ### 5/5 — Simple elegant app *2023-09-29, version 2.5* This highly regarded rosary app takes itself out of the equation by not being intrusive and allowing the prayers to be center and simply presented. The ability to edit prayers and include prayers allows it to become personal. (Gratitude goes to the app maker.) ### 5/5 — Best I have found *2023-05-26, version 2.5* I have been using this app for sometime. It is the best I have used. Easy to change the prayers and an easy read. I went back to the download page looking for an address to send a donation but can not find one. Please supply an address to make this possible. ### 5/5 — Rosary Guide *2022-09-23, version 2.3.2* I am so glad this app is back!! I hope it stays. This app is so easy to use and having the visual and interactive beads is great! This app helps me to pray the rosary whenever I have some idle time such as when I’m waiting, commuting on the bus or train and at home on my downtime. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-05-31, version 2.3.2* Great app. Simple intuitive. The only enhancement I would like is the ability to save progress. Thanks ### 5/5 — The BEST Rosary app that I have found! *2022-02-22, version 2.3.2* For a while this app wasn’t available, but I had it on my old IPad. It would drive me crazy because I couldn’t find anything I liked as much as this app. It’s basic and simple to use. I can just say my rosary wherever and whenever I want. I LOVE this Rosary app! Thank you, thank you so much for bringing it back. God bless you and thank you so much! (I would give this 10 stars if I could) ### 5/5 — Best Rosary App! *2016-03-12, version 2.2* Very easy to use Rosary guide, great design. Make sure to turn on "interactive beads" in settings if you just want to use the opening prayers and jump to the end for more prayers (instead of hitting next for every bead). God Bless 😇 ### 5/5 — Very nice! *2016-01-10, version 2.2* I like the ability to edit all the prayers. Makes it easy to tailor to family custom. You can edit in your own reflections for each mystery, too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
