### 5/5 — Beautiful design

*2019-06-04, version 1.5*

Beautifully designed app that is easy to navigate.

### 4/5 — Amazing app

*2019-05-29*

Hey,
 I just wanted to say its an amazing app that has so much than just banis, I love how theres a daily hukamnama and the calendar with history. The only down fall that I did have was that the bani’s are only in punjabi/gurmakhi and maybe in the next update it would be great if they could be adjusted to English. I wouldn't have to use two diff apps. Other than its amazing and user friendly. ♥️♥️

### 5/5 — well designed

*2018-11-24, version 1.1*

aesthetically easy to read. calendar is a nice feature. hope the meditation timer can add a log feature or some guided features in the future.

### 5/5 — Easy to use & thoughtfully designed

*2018-11-23, version 1.1*

Very user-friendly and thoughtfully designed Nitnem app. All the common Nitnem Banis are easy to access, font size is adjustable and screen color is customizable. Meditation timer is great because I can track my practice. Also includes a calendar highlighting days of significance to the Sikhs which I haven’t seen in other apps.
