iRosary app review: find time to connect with God during your busy day

Introduction

If you find yourself wishing that you took the time out to pray, but are just too busy with your current lifestyle, then iRosary is a must-have. This app brings you the Catholic Rosary directly on your iPhone or iPad so you can open it up no matter where you are: the commute to work, standing in line, or waiting to pick up your children from school.

Just like a regular Rosary, this app shows you a fully-animated set of Rosary beads that move along your fingers to give you the feel of the real deal.

This app has received a lot of recognition from media across the United States including The Catholic News Service, National Public Radio (NPR), and The US Council of Catholic Bishops. Let's take a look at how it works.

Customizable Interface

The iRosary (Catholic Rosary) app comes with a fully interactive user interface which is both stunning to look at and filled with gesture-based features. Featuring beads which move to the touch and two sets of famous artwork, this app will give you a very authentic look and feel.

The interface is also fully customizable. It allows users to create their own standard-sized Rosary design by selecting one of 243 combinations of the cross, chain, and bead components. Furthermore, you can also resize the text using the pinch-to-zoom feature, and easily switch between portrait and landscape mode for the optimal reading experience.

iRosary (Catholic Rosary) will always remember where you ended your previous prayer session, and allow you to pick up where you left off. This app even allows users the freedom to use either hand by moving beads to the left of right. Returning to a previous prayer can be done by pushing the beads back.

Prayer Authenticity & Languages

iRosary (Catholic Rosary) utilizes the same set of prayers that are laid out on the Vatican website, to ensure full authenticity of the text, including the chaplet of Divine Mercy and Loreto Litanies. Prayers in this app are available in four languages: English, Spanish, French, and Latin. You will also receive pleasing sound cues and vibrations to mark parts of the prayers.

You will also receive the appropriate recommendations based on the Liturgical year and have the option of turning the Luminous mysteries on or off based on your preferences.
