Cross & Bead

Cross & Bead is a rosary app made with React Native.  As users touch each bead of the rosary, the corresponding prayers are displayed.  Bible readings and pictures corresponding to each mystery appear in a React Navigation full-screen modal at the beginning of each decade. 

What I learned from this project:

  • How to organize React Native components and how they differ from standard React

  • How to navigate between screens with React Navigate

  • Using Expo to test and develop an app on actual devices

  • This was also an exercise in creativity.  I wasn't particularly pleased with any of the Android rosary apps, as they were clunky and hard to use.  Cross & Bead was my chance to design and develop an app that is intuitive and easy to use.  It was also important to me to create a smooth, tactile user experience, to mimic an actual rosary.
