We love this app and have used it for several years. But our son who has autism and down syndrome and loves to be the leader when we pray cannot talk and so as leader he uses this app but it is too fast for him to speak along side of it. Nevertheless he can move the Beats manually. As we’ve gotten older we realize that we also would like to see it slow down so maybe an option to slow it down for those of us that think and talk a little slower as we age. Saw on one of their app of the Rosery where you have the ability to change the speed that would be a fantastic addition to this wonderful app and all things Divine Mercy.

I was cradle Catholic. I went to mass every week. But I never learned everything I desired or needed to learn. I didn’t even understand the most basic principles of the Catholic faith, that they holy Eucharist is the “ACTUAL“ body, blood, soul, and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ… The very fruit of the tree of life!!! I always simply saw it as representative. Similar to a photograph of a king. You can point to it and say “that’s a king“ but it is actually just a photograph and the image of a king. That’s how I saw the Eucharist. With my family on my father side being Southern Baptist, there were always so many questions that they had that I was too ignorant to answer. Finally, when I was 18, I left the Catholic Church to “find God”. It took 35 years of searching various non-Catholic Christian churches. I often found flaws in many of them that contradicted the Bible. But finally just a few years ago He showed me, in my non-Catholic church, that something was seriously wrong. It was communion Sunday. The leftover communion bread and grape juice which was on a tray was simply dumped into a garbage can. I didn’t understand at the time what was wrong with that action, but I knew in my heart that something wasn’t right. It got me started on my final search that led me to the knowledge that the Catholic Church is the one true church! I came back to the Catholic Church, but I still desired that deeper knowledge. Fortunately, through this Divine Mercy series, I’m learning the answers to all the questions I have ever had and then some!! I *HIGHLY* recommend this series to everyone!!!

This app will not allow me to set a notification time on my phone. Every time I try to set a time for it to send me a reminder that the three o’ clock is coming, the app tells me I do not have permission to change it from none to a reminder time. I went under my notifications and Divine Mercy does not show up there! This must be a glitch, since I noticed the same problem on my mom’s phone! Please fix this so that we can get reminders when it’s time to pray!

I’ve been using this app for years, and have even donated money to the developers. I don’t know what happened, but the recent update is a nightmare. Movement between beads is painfully slow, there’s no longer a beeping sound, and there’s no vibration between bead movements, either. The lighted backgrounded used for the bead you’re on is off, highlighting the middle of the chain by the end of the chaplet. What was so bloody wrong with the previous version? If the next update doesn’t revert it back to normal, I’m ditching it. I really hope the same kind of “update” doesn’t happen to the Mary app. I use it to pray the Rosary and two chaplets. Maybe there’s a decent replacement out there.
