Holy Rosary Audio Deluxe(Rosary and Divine Mercy)

Holy Rosary Audio Deluxe is a prayer app that gives you the complete Rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and the Litanies, all with audio and text together.

The audio and the words are synchronized, so the line being prayed is highlighted as you hear it. It carries all the mysteries and sets the right ones for each day of the week, with background pictures for each mystery and a few themes you can switch between. It works with no network, you can jump to any bead, and it remembers where you left off last time.

The synchronized audio is what makes this worth the small price. Praying the Rosary alongside a voice keeps me from rushing or losing my place, which is exactly what happens when I try to pray it silently at the end of a long day. Having the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Litanies in the same app means you are not hunting for a second one.

It is good for praying along in the car, for keeping a steady pace through a decade, and for anyone who wants Divine Mercy and the Rosary together in one place.

It is not free, and the App Store listing still has Christmas language left over from an older update, so the polish is uneven. None of that touches the prayers themselves, which are complete and Catholic.

It is $1.99, from developer Li Xiaofang. On the App Store here: Holy Rosary Audio Deluxe. A small price for a Rosary app that prays right along with you.
