### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2024-03-16, version 1.1.3*

I really do love the simplicity of the app. The one thing I could suggest at least that I would love even more is if parts that were commentary were distinguishable from the actual scripture. As someone very new to the BG, I sometimes get confused. But I really do find this translation easy to read otherwise. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Simple and beautiful app

*2024-02-29*

Was searching for something which is straight to the point. Found this!! Love the minimalistic approach of the app. Very easy, clean and to the point app. Highly recommend 👍.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2024-02-04*

Ive never come across websites with such a clear translation of the bhagavad gita and i eventually found this app. Educated me so much and has bookmark and highlight tools which helped me a lot to keep track of where im at and notes. truly a life saver 🙏🏽

### 5/5 — Great for english readers!

*2024-01-25, version 1.1.3*

I’m a Hindu who is being brought up in Canada, because of this I’m kind of “white washed” and for most of my life a never found intrest in Hinduism and Hindu philosophy. I can’t read or write in any Indian language and neither can I read. I Iove this app because it is modern and pretty clean looking and that it is an English translation. A really great feature this app has is that you can highlight parts of it. btw this is a 100% real review I haven’t found many apps like this. Beautiful to read the knowledge inside of these pages.

### 5/5 — It has everything you need!

*2024-01-08, version 1.1.3*

If you’re interested in the Baghavad Gita, then this is the app for you! I can’t believe it’s not more popular than it is.

### 5/5 — Just a pure and serene form of app

*2023-12-23*

Amazingly designed with summarised form of content

### 5/5 — Beautiful book

*2023-09-22*

It’s beautiful

### 5/5 — 10/10 the best app for reading the Gita on the App Store

*2023-08-11, version 1.1.3*

Absolutely love the aesthetic and it gives a modern makeover to a cultural and spiritual masterpiece. Thank you whoever made this app because you have made the process of getting into reading the Gita significantly easier. I’m 17 starting my own spiritual journey after years of sorrow.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — English Translation is Misleading

*2026-01-28, version 1.1.3*

The English translation uses loaded terminology derived from Christian roots. The word “sin” is used frequently, but Hindus do not believe in sin. This is just supposed to mean an immoral action, and translating it as sin is disingenuous and bound to cause devotees to fall into the same anxiety that Christians do. Additionally, this translation uses the word “hell.” That word is supposed to mean chaos and suffering on earth, so this is also a terrible word choice. This feels like reading the Bible again with strict dogma instead of properly translating the Sanskrit to reveal complex philosophy. The whole Gita is flattened and distorted from this lens.

### 1/5 — Bible verses in Bhagavad Gita ??

*2025-06-15*

Should’ve added Quran verses and called it secular Gita too

### 1/5 — Misleading information

*2024-02-04*

In chapter 2 the mentioned about alah. Nothing against any religion. However this is holy book for all hindus. Pls do not translate nonsense as you please

### 1/5 — KEEP THE ORIGINAL ESSENCE

*2024-01-06*

Disappointed by the translation of Bhagavath Geetha using references from Bible. It’s disrespectful geetha to equate these texts and disregards the sanctity of the Geetha. The bagavad geetha deserves independent recognition without imposing foreign interpretations. Stop comparing the great geetha with other mediocre books and quotes.

### 1/5 — Keep it simple and original .

*2023-09-17*

I wanted to know more about the Bhagavad Gita without referencing from other scriptures like with the Bible. This doesn’t do justice to the holy book which has the answers to the Universe . Quoting verses from other books is a big distraction for me.

### 2/5 — Great but needs iPad version

*2025-12-23, version 1.1.3*

Please make an iPad version!

### 3/5 — Content

*2023-09-26, version 1.1.3*

More bible quotes then Gita shloks

### 4/5 — Great so far

*2025-01-12, version 1.1.3*

Enjoyed using this app, wish they add more options for highlighting colors, bolding words, and a way to annotate.

### 4/5 — ONE FIX

*2023-11-20, version 1.1.3*

very good app

one issue i found was it isn’t very clear where the verses are so if you could name the verses e.g verse 63 in chapter 2 that would be amazing.

### 4/5 — Why to add other scripture references

*2023-08-31*

Translations are perfect but I don’t see the point of backing the shloka up with references from other scriptures. Gita was way before other scriptures. It doesn’t do justice to Gita if you back the translation from other scriptures.

### 5/5 — Perfect for those wanting to learn the Gita! Study, Practice, etc..

*2026-06-20, version 1.1.3*

I read a LOT of Buddhist and Hindu Holy books and for an App.. this is great! I read chapters asking side other printed  book Gitas and this does a great job explaining the gita! I does NOT read directly as the Gita, there is commentary that to the student or first time Gita reader, may be difficult to distinguish between the Gita and the commentary. The writing flows very smooth. So to a beginner it’s perfect for learning but know that it does have commentary.. For those people, I would recommend getting a paper book copy to read first or along side this… And with the help of this App you will learn much! This is my favorite Gita App hands down! Hali Aum Tat Sat !!

### 5/5 — Absolutely love ♥️

*2026-04-03, version 1.1.3*

I find it hard to get motivated to pick up the Gita but this has helped me a lot . I recommend this app to anyone who needs motivation for reading.♥️

### 5/5 — Superb App

*2026-01-08*

App is great and has simpler to use Interface.

Quick New Features Suggestions:
- Random Gita Quote: Everytime clicking on a button, a new random Gita Quote will appear on screen.

It’s a simple feature but lots of people want it during a panic situation and they want something that can give quote, like tossing a coin.

### 5/5 — I love this

*2025-10-26, version 1.1.3*

The interface is clean, no ads. I wish I could afford to leave a tip

### 5/5 — Bhagavad Gita

*2025-04-23, version 1.1.3*

I love it so much brings me closer to my  god

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-01-24*

Really the perfect app to read gita. 
This is the right way how an application without distractions is suppose to be whole ui is minimalist. 
Great work.

### 5/5 — iPad version

*2025-01-10, version 1.1.3*

Hi, can you please make a version compatible for iPad.

### 5/5 — How do I find verses

*2024-12-30, version 1.1.3*

I looked for verses I needed but then I can’t find the verse I need please number the verses

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2024-10-19*

It is a very good app. I learnt many different things

### 5/5 — Definitions !

*2024-10-01, version 1.1.3*
