Many great things here, but...
...I was looking for an app that could help maintaining a vigorous pace of daimoku, but I can’t change from 28/min pace, which is maddeningly slow if you’re not a beginner. Many selections cause app to just stop, hourglass, waiting for updates. Send Feedback doesn’t work. Deleting the app with regrets

WND doesn’t load.
I really like the app. As a beginner, I love that I can find all the information I need in the app. I’m also able to do gongyo and chant with a timer in the app. I’m also able to set goals, which is awesome.
My only complaint is that on an iPhone, the WND Study section does not load. All other sections and pages load just fine. WND never loads for me for some reason. I have the iOS 14.4 on iPhone 11.

AMAZING!!
I have been using this app since it came out mostly for daily guidance, to track goals associated with chanting & for Gongyo, especially at times in isolation from in person activities. I absolutely love this app & am so proud sharing it with members & guests. I recently found the ability to update chanting time per day... So grateful!! Because of the distraction having my phone close to me was at times, I didn’t always use the app to track Daimoku which left me not really feeling the benefit of connecting my Daimoku to my goals. Now with the ability to update any day with the amount of time chanted, I am confident that I will be able to share my experiences with more clarity relating to Daimoku than before. Thank you to the amazing technology team for creating & enhancing this app!

I love this app! BUT...
Recently the Writings of ND will not load!! I’m so frustrated with that because I love the search feature. Is there any help for that? Here’s my previous review: I cannot even believe I have the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin searchable at my fingertips! I lost my old copy when my house burned in the Tubbs fire, the one with all the tabs and post-its marking my favorite passages. I have a new copy (thank you President Ikeda) but it’s easier to use the app, which is available anytime anyplace. I like setting campaigns and targets. So convenient to keep changing the goal dates, yeah, we can’t give up over an arbitrary date. And the quotes ready at hand, so easy to encourage myself and others. I add my thanks and applause to the other good reviews here.

Great tool
Great tool for practicing. One question When will the SGI-USA app be synchronized to your log in site, to show accurately the amount of Daimoku chanted and progressive steps towards accomplishing consecutive targets towards completing campaigns and goals across all ones devices?
Thank you

Truly needs landscape mode.
This is an incredible app but it would be that much better for iPad users to have both orientations. Using the study tools in landscape would make it that much more comfortable to dedicate more time to learning. NMRK.
Can’t use the connect part, just spins!
I can’t use the connect part on my iPad. Also, chanting speed is way too slow and I can’t change the speed. On my samsung phone, the connect works, but Ikeda Sensei’s daily encouragement is blank. Thank you if you can please fix these issues!
Great ... but
This is a good app for chanting. It could be a great app. Suggestions:
Either use an always-on negative display ( like most meditation apps), dark background, with only counter and bell light; or, just have a screen dimming feature. That way, you can monitor time, without draining the battery or having to turn your device on again.
Be able to save your sessions to track progress and help stay consistent.
And the big one: if you leave the app for a moment to look at something else, everything is GONE. You have to start all over.

Impressive!
Who knew that Soka would be so progressive! I adore the app. Since I am constantly traveling this app allows me to keep track of my Daimoku and permits me to practice anywhere as well as keep up the my study. Now I am so used to it that I wouldn’t know what to do without it. I especially love the bell effect and the clear Gongyo book. Good job SGI!!

Organized and educational!
Can’t believe how this app is to a T with everything a new member may need to know AND gives them guides on how to chant correctly and set goals to achieve abundant Daimoku. Very impressed.
