Beadless for iPhone

Common questions

Does the app need an account or the internet?
No. Everything is built in and works offline. Nothing you log leaves your phone.

The voice stops when I lock the phone.
It shouldn't. Press play, then lock the phone: the prayers keep going, and the lock screen shows play, pause, and the next and previous prayer. If the voice is silent, check the ring/silent switch isn't the cause (it isn't for Beadless, which plays as spoken audio), then the volume, then that no other app is playing.

Can I pause and come back later?
Yes. Pause from the app or the lock screen, and Play picks up at the same word, however long you were away. Leaving the prayer screen ends the session; Resume on the home screen brings you back to the bead you were on.

How do I pray with my own rosary?
Settings › Praying › Beaded. The app shows and reads each mystery and its meditations; you pray the prayers on your beads. The round button at the foot of the page plays and pauses; the page follows the voice until you scroll it yourself.

What is Only Beads?
A pocket rosary: a tap for each bead, a light buzz for a small bead, a firm one for a large bead, nothing said. Settings › Praying › Only Beads.

Where do I change the meditations?
Settings › Meditations. One per mystery (the Scripture passage, a Catechism paragraph, or Blessed Fulton Sheen's meditation) and one verse before each Hail Mary, or none.

Reminders don't arrive.
Each reminder lives on its goal: open the tracker (the calendar at the top of Home), Goals, tap the goal, Remind me. Then check the phone's Settings › Notifications › Beadless is allowed. A reminder only comes if that devotion hasn't been logged yet that day.

I lost my log.
The log lives only on your phone. If the app was deleted, it's gone unless your phone's backup has it; restoring the phone from that backup restores the log.
