Latest reviews of iStations app for iPhone and iPad

Beautifully sublime
As it is now Lent I am looking for the Stations with an audio option. This is simply beautiful with the prayers and artwork for prologue stations and post stations prayer. It is reverently structured with prayers in Latin that being a Catholic boomer, remember so well. There are a few other versions of the stations in the app store, some I have installed, but this is the best in my opinion. There is an option of audio which is very good to have if you want to hear the stations while driving or just want to hear a voice. Simply wonderful.
Stations on track
Very well done, several ways to navigate the app and has options for prayers and meditations.
My review
Very handy, uplifting specially at lent, words are very clear also the prayers thank you for your good effort.
Beautiful version of Stations
I wish we said these prayers at my parish for Stations. The prayers are so beautiful, Im so glad I got the app! The only thing lacking is the concluding prayer to Jesus Christ crucified, but still totally worth it!
Sorry but needs work
You cannot run this app in background so screen is always on and drains battery. Also once phone goes to sleep app stops Takes too long to go through all stations and the voice is too quite and to monotone
