This app is great to support your daily practice. It keeps track of your daimoku and goals. It helps with morning & evenings prayers & basic chanting. Has access to many supportive resources. I love it!

Daily Encouragement

I would like to be able to go back to specific daily encouragement passages.
Also, you list support options. I, however, have never received a response when I submitted an inquiry.

Useful but clunky

I’m just here to say that this is useful because it’s better than filling in little boxes on pieces of paper, but just a few little QA tweaks would really help. I think my biggest issue is that you cannot re-order your goals and by default, the oldest goals are first, which is a pet peeve of mine as a QA person. I would never release an app that did that.
