Making Great Greater
The App is great for it provides 2 sets of Daily Encouragement which can taken anywhere with you - I enjoy reading the quotations and sharing them with guests and members who, like me, need a daily perk in Faith in Sensei's own words.
Add to this there are translations available on a click. This is awesome... I was able to share the Spanish translations of Sensei's words with more than one guest . However, there is room for improvement at the translation : When I trid to get a French translation it sent me Dutch - When I clicked on Portuguese, it sent me Romanian - I could not tell the difference.... To make this great App even greaert, we need to upgrade the translation service ...

off course
The once great Buddhist organization now has a new world order globalist agenda. They promote digital ID's , lack of bodily autonomy, Gov't and UN agendas, and corporations. They taut stories of freedom, democracy, personal growth on the most shallow level. It is heartbreaking to see people blindly promoting their own demise. Yes, chanting is self reflection which is great but it is easy to manipulate people when they see you support them just a little bit. I was a member for 30 years and see it now since the pandemic. They go along with every govt regulation and govt led media story. There is no critical view whatsoever. I am heartbroken that they have lost the Buddha path and are now sheep herders. I am on my own finding my Buddah path which is what Buddism is anyway. Its not about doing what others say. Its about finding truth, understanding the world and its corruption and learning. Not following the leader.

Please Stop Logging Me Out
It keeps logging me out especially when a timer goes off on my phone or I logged into Zoom or Clubhouse and sometimes I’m doing those things to chant remotely with others. It also just stops the timer when above activities occur so it’s a little frustrating. The app is amazing though, I appreciate it. But this little glitch keeps getting in the way of my daimoku counter so I lose track of my progress. Other than that, super amazing. Except maybe the fact that I had to take a live ID picture for my SGI USA account and I was not prepared so I look ultra dork but who’s looking.

Timer Issue
The overall app is great but the tracker needs to be addressed. I love using the timer/stopwatch feature to keep track of how much or how long I am chanting for. My frustration is when my phone turns off or goes to sleep after a while and the app refreshes and I lose my progress. It would be nice to start the timer or stopwatch and just have it keep going regardless of the status of my phone. I mean I get the battery dying and completely shutting down but when it’s still on? I will dedicate five or ten minutes of focused prayer while my screen shuts off to save battery only for me to check where I am at and the app has refreshed. What? Am I doing something wrong maybe? If I really want to start my time over I can hit the reset button. It’s so frustrating and also distracting while I chant. Please please please address this. The iphone timer/stopwatch app is awesome in this regard, anyway to incorporate some of the features?

Love SGI - App needs work
I use this primarily on my iPad and while I love the general idea of the app and I love it tracking my daimoku (2,000,000 makes me happy!) it seems like each time they renew the app it gets more bugs.
The latest iteration now requires I login in every use and sometimes muliple times in the same session. It never used to do that.
Also it sometimes resets the timer and I can determine no rhyme or reasone when or why it does this. I'd prefer it if I was ALWAYS the reason the timer gets reset. Shouldn't do that on its own.
The newer slide control for daimoku/minute is easily adjusted by mistake and I don't know why it doesn't keep a daimoku count between devices. (use the internet folks!) If they contact me I'd be very happy to QA with and for them to help debug it and make it better focus on Kosen Rufu. NMRK!!

Lost everything in update
I’m not crazy about the update. First, I had used the app to record my daimoku and was gauging my numbers moving toward 2030. All records were lost in the update. The new app also doesn’t allow chanting faster that 55 per minute. I can live with that.
But I’m sorely disappointed that we can no longer access the Gosho through the app. It was wonderful to have that ability. No more. It’s all taking some getting used to. 😞

Upgrade erased years of data
I would love to say that I love this app, but I just updated it and it erased years worth of campaigns and goals! I’m sad that I can’t look at it anymore—I like to see my progress over the years, and look at what I used to chant for, vs now. Seeing the data gave me insights. Now it’s gone. Don’t know if I’ll be updating again!

Energetic chanting speed upgrade
Thanks so much for tweaking the daimoku speed! If there’s any way to enable gongyo speed to be faster, that would be greatly appreciated!!! I find chanting rapid pace to be invigorating! It also helps me get into the “zone”; that place where I’m on autopilot; energized and focused! This faster cadence helps me draw forth my Buddha nature quicker than slower paced chanting! I calculated it to be one daimoku per second which reminds me of a galloping horse 🐎! It’s kinda like power walking.

Very Good yet, disappointing
The implementation needs enhancements. The functionality is hampered because it doesn’t consistently return where you left off. Adding and subtracting daimoku is difficult and not very accurate. The chanting timer covers but the ux ui could use some serious improvement to be their best. Also when it updated from the previous version it completely wiped out my previous daimoku count! 3 stars was generous because I love SGI and want encourage improvements not punish for the needed upgrades. It is at least useful in spite of shortcomings.

The remove chants button does not work
Since it’s a new version I accidentally happen to add extra Diamoku from the Change counts section under setting. However, on trying to correct it, the remove button under the change section won’t work.
I called customer service to report the issue.
Over all good feature updates but I hope this bug in the remove button gets resolved soon in the next update.
