Rosarium - Rosary Crown

Update- today, after first praying the first Mystery, I left it at the beginning of the second Mystery. A few hours later I came back to it to pick up from where I had left off but found that that app had reset itself back to the beginning of the first Mystery! I hope this doesn’t happen again. I’m posting this here in the hope that the developers will see this since I can’t find an email address for them. Update- still enjoying the app but at one point, in the app on my Watch, I saw a “reset” option which did something like take you back to the beginning of the mystery for that day. I found it to be very useful but now I cannot find it and cannot see any info in the phone app about how to find it. —— This sounds crazy, but since getting this app, I pray more of the Rosary on my Apple Watch than I have for a long time on the beads! One thing- the choice of language in the preferences doesn’t work for me. But that’s not a big deal. Specifically, choosing English does nothing.

I love being able to do the rosary while waiting with my husband getting chemo, without the need to carry my rosary beads! It’s wonderful to have the watch app and turn the crown to advance beads. Turning the crown simulates the tactile sensation of touching the beads! You also get a visual stimulus of the beads, right on the watch face!! And the title of each prayer (in Latin!). Also on the watch face is 5 little dots that get filled in as you advance to each mystery. As amazing as it is, I suppose there could be slight changes to improve it vastly! 1) strong haptic as crown turns to give an additional tactile sensation; and2) there’s still room on the watch face to show a visual icon or image of which mystery. For example, instead of just showing that you are on the Sorrowful Mystery IV, the image could depict The Carrying of the Cross. Although, I have the prayers memorized, I have to go back to my phone each time, in order to know on what mystery to meditate. With a small image ( Jesus kneeling, Jesus tied to a pillar or just the scourging whip, a small crown of thorns, angel before Mary, the crucifix, etc.), I could immediately know the mystery and continue without interruption.It’s a wonderful app as it is; that’s why I give it 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Apps tend to always get updated with new and additional features. So that’s something to consider on your next update! Thank you again for this unique and amazing app for AppleWatch!!

I sure hope all the people who have found all the rosaries I have lost throughout my life are praying with them. I love having a rosary on my watch, and especially love that I don’t have to search for one. I do agree that a haptics tap at the Our Father would be helpful. God bless your work, and thank you!
