5/5Updates
The app seems great but it doesn’t fill the entire screen on an iPhone 11, an update for iPhone X and higher would be great. Also, I’d love to be able to scroll left and right between sutras, rather than having to use the buttons. Also, in dark mode the top and bottom bar are still white. It would be so great if these things got updated! Thanks

4/5great
i really love this app as i’m trying to learn the sutras and apply them to my life in an easily accessible and fun way. I love the daily sutra feature i read it in the morning like a daily newspaper. I was excited about the daily notification feature but it hasn’t been working I have not got a notification from the app and all of my settings are correct so that I wish could improve. Also a recommendation would be a section for notes that you can write some notes about the sutra on your own along with the bookmark feature which is great. And another recommendation would be to be able to play back the pronunciation of the sutra slower or have some more controls with that. but overall love it!

Wonderful app for exploring the yoga sutras of Patanjali!!! It’s absurd quality for such an esoteric subject. I love waking up to the Sutra of the Day. I love the breakdown of each sutra into individual vocabulary. I love the translations and the commentary. The commentary! Wow…beautiful writing. Beautiful imagery. This is something special that you will not find anywhere else. Enjoy it and enjoy your meditation practice. Peace and love, Swami sahaj prem

5/5All you need
I have been using this app for years. It has a straightforward accessible interface that makes referencing and memorisation easy. On most occasions I use wisdom lib and external sources for deeper understanding of Sanskrit terms, but take that as part of study. No bugs, no bells and whistles just ancient wisdom at your finger tips.

5/5Absolutely love it, but have to re-download often
This app is my favorite go-to as an alternative to hitting the social media buttons. My only issue is the screen goes blank sometimes and I have to delete the app and re-install. I love this app, thank you for making it.
