### 3/5 — Almost Perfect

*2023-08-28*

This is an excellent app. The only issues are, when searching in the Dasam Granth or Granth Sahib, the number pad is displayed. And I can enter the ANG (for instance) but there is NO WAY to press ENTER. So I cannot submit the ANG to go to that page. 

I also cannot get out of that search field/bar. I must exit the entire app. I end up suggesting a different app to my students because of this issue. 

It would also be good to search by word. In Gurmukhi and English. My students have English as a native language and are learning to read Gurbani. Our lessons are by topic and there is a lot of moving around. 

Otherwise we’ll organized, easy to read, contrast is good. And it is a good resource for English-dependent learners.
