Helping you to pray the Luminous or Sorrowful mystery of the rosary by providing verse from scripture for each Hail Mary. This will help you to meditate and keep focused on each mystery. You can choose between the Knox Bible, the New American Bible, or Douay-Rheims Bible according to your preference. To switch between Luminous and Sorrowful mysteries, you can go to the Settings and turn off the Luminous mystery option to switch to Sorrowful mysteries. To give you a better reading experience, it is possible to adjust the font size to display the prayer. You can continue right where you left off, if you get interrupted, because the app will save the place where you stopped. If you prefer to have the prayers in Latin, they are also included in the app. To encourage yourself to pray the rosary more often, there is a daily reminder feature. If you prefer audio, activate the built-in audio feature or you can also record your own voice or your loved ones while reciting the Scriptural Rosary. Include your petitions or thanksgiving within the app while praying the rosary with the custom opening or closing text feature. You can even pray the rosary in a group with friends nearby, the screens synchronize between the devices by way of Bluetooth or WiFi. The following languages are supported: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Indonesian. This is a universal app so you only need to download get this app to be used on both iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch devices. Please pray for the holy souls in Purgatory and for me, as I continue to develop Catholic apps.
