A Rosary Companion - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I really enjoy this podcast because of the musical backgrounds, the three different speeds offered (15 minute, 17 minutes, 20 minutes) and the speaker’s clear and pleasant tone. I use it every day to keep my mind focused on the rosary.

I’ve been using this podcast everyday for a couple of years now. However, there are some weeks when the background music is very distracting that it takes away from the holiness of the prayer. Please make it so that the music doesn’t overpower the actual rosary.

It helps me say the rosary daily. It helps keep my adhd mind from wandering while praying. I don’t mind the commercials, since it’s free. Maybe those who fuss about them may like to be subscribers & pay for commercial free ones, just an idea.

This app has been such a blessing for me. I enjoy the different themes, music, and pace of each prayer. Thank you so very much for taking the time to make this so perfect for me and others, I’m sure. God bless those that make each program. Many times I’m unable to go to church and pray and this has been a true blessing for me. Thank you so very much. God bless.

Final Update: How many ads do you need??
I’m hit with 1 sponsorship and 2 ads at the beginning and at least 1 ad at the end. (Roughly 3 minutes of ads!) This is more than excessive! I was willing to tolerate one ad. Now, I won’t listen at all. I’ve already switched to a different daily rosary and am finally deleting this show from my podcasts.

First Update: I noticed changes have been made since I last reviewed, and I’m happy to say I’m keeping this as my go-to daily rosary. There are still commercial ads, but there’s not a whisper rosary in sight. Thank you for listening to feedback and thank you for your dedication!

Original Review: I’ve been listening daily for about 8 months. The recording is well done (though I suspect the speed is slowed down a bit. It’s a little too slow.) In the past month or so, commercials were added to the beginning and/or end which really ruins the feeling of reverence. Then, about a week ago, these whisper rosaries were added that are intended to be relaxing, but it honestly raises my adrenaline and gives me anxiety. The regular spoken rosary is still available, but God forbid I accidentally click the whisper rosary! It really was the best rosary option a year ago, but I’m not so sure anymore.

Used to rate this 5-stars, then the ads started. Imagine going to Holy Mass, sitting in the cathedral, preparing your heart for worship, and somebody moves to the lectern and starts loudly talking about how great Amazon is. Then the bells ring and Mass starts. Ridiculous, right?
