Pros and cons of Rosary — Mysteries of the Holy Rosary app for iPhone and iPad

Rosary — Mysteries of the Holy Rosary app good for

Awesome app, so helpful to pray and ponder on mysterious. Im iOS Dev, and very eager to contribute let me know if u need help!
This app doesnt seek to replace your rosary like many others. Sure, you can keep count. But its very subtle. Just enough to keep your place without distracting you. Images look great on all of my devices.
I love this app! First the artwork is amazing. Next, this app is the only one that doesnt seek to replace your rosary. Finally, its so simple to use. Other apps are so clumsy and complex. This one you just swipe. Thats it! Stop looking. This is the app youre looking for.
This rosary app is great! It includes marvelous images of high quality art, which for me is the best part. As an at historian Im usually dismayed by most schmaltzy Catholic imagery, but this app is a visual delight! Kudos for providing discerning Catholics with such an aesthetically appealing Rosary app! I also love the swipe action for the next mystery. There are a couple of glitches still being worked out, but I still love it. Highly recommend!!
I really appreciate the quality artwork. It helps me focus on the mysteries. I would like to see more artwork added.
The pictures are beautiful and easy to use. The scriptures are so small that makes them very hard to read. Other than improving that I cant think of anything that would make it easier to pray daily. Thank you
