This is a beautiful & prayerful app.  It’s beauty comes from both it’s prayers/scripture selections and the artwork used in the app itself.  Praying the Rosary while meditating on a small selection of Scripture at each recitation of a “Hail Mary” is extremely intimate and prayerful.  The user interface is clean and easy to use.

One interesting feature is a small button that looks like a “wifi” icon in the middle of the screen (once you begin praying the Rosary).  This button is actually a Share button that enables you to share the Scripture verse of that part of the Rosary via a multitude of social networks & other applications including: E-mail, Facebook, Twitter, SMS, Evernote, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Foursquare, and more!  I think this is a great feature for sharing Scripture with others while you pray.

Other Settings that you can change are:

  • Choose Scripture Translation: New American Bible, Douay-Rheims, or Biblie de Jerusalen
  • Turn on/off Luminous Mysteries
  • Turn on/off Latin Prayers
For a Rosary app, there’s not much to say in terms of “Con’s”.  It’s very straight forward.  If I had to pick out Con’s, they’d be more like suggestions:

  • Add more artwork to the individual “beads” of the Rosary itself
  • Add audio so users can listen to the Scripture Readings and the recitation of the Rosary while driving
Terrific app.  Simple, yet powerful.  It is a great way to enter more deeply into the mysteries of the Holy Rosary and Scripture.   Pray it TODAY!

Click for description from iTunes

Helping you to pray 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 New American Bible or Douay-Rheims scripture verses according to your preference.

If you forget what mystery to use for, do not worry because this app will automatically detect the day to use the correct mystery.

You can also choose from the four mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous if you want.

To help you read conveniently, you can adjust the font size to display the prayer.

You can continue right where you left off if you get interrupted because this app would save the last state of where you pray the rosary.

If you prefer to have the prayers in Latin, they are also included in the app.

If you prefer to disable Luminous mysteries, you can do so from the Settings app.

Please pray for holy souls in Purgatory and also for me as I continue to develop Catholic apps.
