### 5/5 — Yes

*2026-05-11, version 3.25.2*

Yes

### 5/5 — Amazing work

*2026-02-21, version 3.25.2*

Hugely important. It’s going to be an amazing way of ensuring so much knowledge is accessible

### 5/5 — om

*2025-10-29, version 3.23*

svasti

### 5/5 — Perfect resource for REAL Buddha quotes

*2025-08-15, version 3.23*

There are so many fake Buddha quotes out on the internet, and especially on a lot of "Buddhist" apps. However this app has true Buddha teachings. I read from this app everyday and I recommend it to others wanting to learn about the Buddha.

### 5/5 — Great, Perfect

*2025-08-05, version 3.23*

I just love it! But I have a suggestion. It would be amazing if developers could fit an AI voice reader! We would benefit so much. And if when reading the books would appear multiples and not disappear one another, substituting.

### 5/5 — Fantastic! Amazing!

*2025-07-29, version 3.21*

This is great app for this phenomenal translation project.

### 5/5 — How to find Tibetan text option with translation?

*2025-03-28, version 3.21*

Double screen with Tibetan text is a feature you attracted me with, but it is gone now.

### 5/5 — A True Gift

*2024-10-11, version 3.19*

Thank You for the incredible collection of lives-saving Three Jewels at the tips if our fingers. Blessings of immeasurable value. How wonderful. This will be of wellbeing to generations to come.

### 5/5 — The Buddhas Wisdom in the Palm of my Hand

*2024-08-07, version 3.17*

This maybe my favourite app on my phone. I am so addicted to picking up my phone when I get bored - having 84000 app means sometimes when I just pick up my phone, I end up reading a sutra. I love the informative scholarly introductions to each sutra. The hyperlinks over words that link to notes is amazing - i can see the tibetan and the sanskrit equivalent. 

And of course the sutras really challenge all my preconceptions about what I thought was Buddhism. The Buddha really is a master of shaking me up.

### 5/5 — Top notch!

*2024-06-27, version 3.15*

I think, this sort of quality in an application and extensive thought in every aspect of reading can only come from great minds coming together. I thank everything that led to create such a great tool for learning.
