The short version

A Spanish-first Rosary using the Vatican's own texts, also in English, Italian, French and Latin, with a Scripture reference for each mystery. Simple and free, it suits bilingual families well, though it has no audio and hasn't been updated since 2017.

Santo Rosario is a Spanish-language Rosary app from Jorge Panayotti that uses the prayer texts from the Vatican website and supports several other languages alongside Spanish.

You choose the mysteries for the day and the app walks you through the full Rosary — Apostles' Creed, Our Fathers, Hail Marys, Glory Be, Fatima Prayer, Hail Holy Queen. The texts are available in Spanish, English, Italian, French, and Latin, so you can pray in the language you prefer or switch between them. Each mystery includes a short scriptural reference.

Using texts pulled from the Vatican's own website is a quiet quality signal. You know the prayers are the right wording, in the form approved by the Church, with no rewrites or local variants slipped in. The multilingual support also makes it a real resource for catechism students learning the prayers in a second language, or for households where the grandparents pray in Spanish and the grandchildren are more comfortable in English.

A good fit for Spanish-speaking Catholics, Catholic families across two languages, students learning Spanish or Latin who want to learn alongside something they already know, and parishes with a Hispanic ministry that wants to point people to a simple resource. Travelers can use it to pray the Rosary in their own language while abroad.

It is a focused app, not a full Catholic toolkit. No Mass readings, no saint of the day, no Liturgy of the Hours, no audio narration of the prayers. The interface is functional rather than beautiful, and updates have been infrequent. If you want a Rosary with voice, look elsewhere.

Free. By Jorge Panayotti. Available on the App Store: Santo Rosario. A clean, multilingual Rosary that sticks to the Church's own texts.
