This app is a great way of praying the Rosary, because each Hail Mary is preceded by short scripture verses. These promote meditative prayer; it is easier to keep focused on each mystery.

You can choose between the Knox Bible, the New American Bible, or Douay-Rheims Bible according to your preference.

If you forget which mystery to pray, do not worry because the app will automatically show the correct mystery for each day of the week.

Instead you can manually choose any one of the four mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous and pray it as and when you wish.

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.

You may wish to disable the Luminous mysteries and can do so from the Settings.

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.

Pros and cons of Scriptural Rosary app for iPhone and iPad

Scriptural Rosary app good for

The extra intercessions help to slow things down and to draw the mind deeper into each mystery. Id like more (and better) art in the background, but thats my only suggestion for improvement.

Wonderful app Ive used it pretty consistently for my daily rosary

This app is not only easy to use and well designed, it is also beautiful to look at. I use it all the time for saying one decade or the entire rosary. It helps keep track of the prayers, lists the scriptural passage for each Hail Mary and displays a beautiful piece of art work depicting the mystery. I really like it.

I pray with it every day as it is so convenient everywhere whether Im commuting or at work.. It helps me keep track of each Hail Mary and has beautiful artwork at the beginning of each decade. I also love the scriptural readings which enhance my prayer focus. Try it for yourself!

Thank you for this. The pictures, prayers and Scripture references made this the best Rosary I have ever prayed.

A beautiful and well designed Scriptural Rosary App. Easy navigation and settings. Highly recommended.

Some bad moments

I would be very happy with this app, except that the computerized, disjointed voice is so distracting, it does not feel very spiritual. Had I been able to hear a sample of the voice, I would not have purchased this app.

I just purchased this app because I was looking for a Scriptural Rosary with audio and the reviews are so positive. Can you imagine my shock when I used it for the first time today and heard the terrible quality of the audio default voice ?! The voice sounds like a drunken Siri, very unnatural and ponderous. It was painful to listen to that voice which was an awful distraction from prayer. For the price of this app, couldnt you have used real persons for the audio? Yes, I know that I can record my own voice but its a nuisance having to do that. The default voice should be a natural, pleasant sounding human voice. Please fix this! If its fixed I will be happy to revise my negative review because everything else is fine. Thank you.

This app has plenty of nice features but is not obtrusive into your prayers. The options include Luminous mysteries or not, Scripture from the source of your choice - or not, prayers in Latin or English, and a daily notification to say your Rosary if youd like to be reminded. I love the beautiful art and personally find the short Scripture verses with each Hail Mary just right! I use this excellent app frequently, and highly recommend it!

This app has been a daily tool in my prayer life. The wonderful pictures, and scriptural readings, help keep me focused on Our Lord, as I pray The Holy Rosary.

This is a wonderful way to pray the rosary. It is easy to use and has several features that help you pray more deeply and efficiently. The scriptural verses help you to focus on each mystery so that prayer doesnt become repetitive responses uttered mechanically. I usually find that the connections I make with the verses differ each time I say my beads. I also love the short dedication prayer before each decade because it adds to the experience of saying the rosary. Because I use the reminder feature, I get daily notifications to remember to say my rosary. The artwork is another thoughtful and beautiful aspect of this app. All in all, this is a wonderful app that helps develop, maintain and reinforce your faith life and at the same time helps you to pray more thoughtfully.

I use this app often when praying my daily rosary. It is especially helpful for keeping focus on the mysteries. The artwork is beautiful.
