My Rosary (Audio)

My Rosary (Audio) is a small Catholic prayer app for the Holy Rosary and the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy, with audio so you can pray along instead of just reading. It's by Jose Ignacio Gonzalez Rivera, an indie Catholic developer, and it's free.

The app gives you the full Rosary — joyful, sorrowful, glorious, and luminous mysteries — and the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. You pick a set of mysteries, tap play, and a voice prays the prayers aloud at a normal pace. You can pray along, follow on screen, or just listen. There's also an option to add or skip the Litany of Loreto at the end of the Rosary.

What I appreciate is that the audio actually has a person praying it, not a synthetic voice. The pace is reasonable — not rushed, not so slow that you drift off. The Divine Mercy Chaplet is the right length for an afternoon break or a drive home. The interface is simple enough that an older relative could figure it out without help.

Good fit for a commute, a walk, a wait in a doctor's office, or a quiet evening before bed. Families with young kids can use the audio to pray a decade together at dinner without anyone needing to keep track of the words. People who feel stuck on the Rosary or fall asleep mid-decade — the audio helps you stay with it.

It's not a fancy app. There are no graphics for each mystery, no Scripture reflections, no journal. If you want a Rosary app with meditations on each mystery, the Magnificat Rosary or the Hallow app does that. This one is bare-bones audio prayer, nothing more.

Free, from Jose Ignacio Gonzalez Rivera. Available on the App Store: My Rosary (Audio). Quiet, reliable, and exactly what most of us need most days.
