Kriya stops mid-way

The app is super useful but on many occasions Kriya pauses on its own! Then I have to press pause and play and it plays again and then pauses again after few minutes. Please fix this or tell me if I need to do something about it.

Sometimes playlists does not run

It is occurred that sometimes playlist not such as counting not plays, at the time of counting the voice gets distorted.

Good initiative, has all the recordings

App covers all the Sadhanas that are conducted in AOL. Reducing one star because I felt like few audios are really playing slower than actual.
Eg. SKY pranayams and Bhastrika are much slower. Even the Om Namah Shivay chanting is also playing slower than how we chanted at Ashram.

Does not work as expected

So, I am on iOS 26.0.1 on an iPhone 16 and there are some things broken. For instance, I used to use this app to regularly practice Sahaj Samadhi meditation, which I created like a custom thing, so for 20 minutes there is silence and then there's the bell sound immediately following that, but the bell sound does not ring at the correct or expected time. Sometimes it does, many times I hear the bell sound after 30 minutes, so pretty sure that something is broken in the background. Also, I have tried disabling the battery saver mode, locking the screen, keeping the screen unlocked after starting the Sahaj playlist, but nothing seems to be doing the trick, so it's not reliable. I hope they fix it soon. Jai Gurudev!

Recent Update = Finally Reliable

After the recent update, I’m loving how reliable the app, and all of my playlists, have become! I always loved the personalisation Abhyaasa aims to provide to Sadhana, but the bugs here and there didn’t let the idea come to fruition. Now, however, it’s a charm!
