Literally EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. you open the app! Review app, subscribe now! Well here is your review. It is a mantra app, but begging for money. Every so often, sure. But every time?! Seriously, I hope people don’t subscribe just because of the annoyance. Huge reason why I won’t subscribe again. ### 3/5 — The app in the final of each year *2025-12-21, version 2.0.1.3* The app turn off and disappear all my counts chanted are wrong, is a big frustration reach goals that later disappear because this issue, is the 3rd year happening the same so my progress to unlock some areas in your app is practically impossible. And I had to re-enter my password and appear different amount of counting that I chanted but less quantity why? Namaskaram! ### 2/5 — Forces to choose a mantra *2025-09-02, version 2.0.1.3* I want to do my own chant. So I simply wanted a tracker. But that is not possible with this app - one needs to necessarily choose a mantra from the list provided. Frustrating. ### 4/5 — Good app *2025-07-28, version 2.0.1.3* I like this app, it helps me streamline the japa count. My daughter also uses this app. I wish there was a feature to add the mantra of your own and count it. The app forces you to search for the existing mantras. Worth it to go for free version. ### 4/5 — sounds *2025-07-06, version 2.0.1.3* unable to hear any sound. making the app pointless. no help offered. ### 3/5 — Screen locks off *2025-04-10* The screen locks off during session which makes it harder to count the number of repetitions. A tactile sensation of vibration when pressing would make the users aware that the app is still on and the phone hasn’t locked out. ### 1/5 — The worst *2025-03-29* If I can give negative feedback, then I would have. All you need a simple counter just to keep a digital audit. But this guy just distributing mantra which is only given by Guru like doughnut. You can’t also count on your own Gurumantra. You have to select only the given mantra in the application which is very bad. Chanting mantra in open is also prohibited. Only on the permission of Guru, you can recite the mantra within yourself, but this guy just distributing the mantra like you are buying toilet paper. ### 4/5 — Good *2025-03-29, version 2.0.1.3* Great app to do jaap without maala. ### 3/5 — Better before the changes *2025-03-29, version 2.0.1.3* Now that the cosmic insights team have turned their money hungry sights to this app, it has focused itself on subscription pricing and has worsened. Before, it would launch and you could find the mantras you wanted and that’s it. Now it’s all about pricing. I’m grateful so many mantras are on the app, though there are a lot that aren’t. This kind of app should be free. ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2025-03-26, version 2.0.1.3* Too many ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is great but annoying opening screen and repeated rating pop up *2026-08-15, version 2.0.1.3* With the most recent update the subscription screen opens up every time the app is opened, immediately followed by app rating pop up. I rated 5 stars like ten times and submitted but it still keeps popping up. So, I put only two stars now until you change this. ### 1/5 — sound stopped working *2026-06-04, version 2.0.1.3* I paid for a one-year subscription so that I could hear the mantras pronounced. The sound worked briefly, but now there is no sound coming from the app. I tried restarting the app, logging out and then re-logging in, restarting my phone, and deleting the app and reinstalling it, but there is still no sound coming when I click on the button to have a mantra audio played out loud. The sound is working with all other apps on my phone, but not this one. At the moment, it feels like I wasted $20 for a one-year subscription. ### 1/5 — Support needed *2026-06-03, version 2.0.1.3* I subscribed to the app assuming mantras will be recited and I’ll have an opportunity to learn, however, the mantras are not being recited. ### 1/5 — Subscription *2026-03-10, version 2.0.1.3* I have already purchased the subscription at 1200 rs for life time. now they are asking for 400 again annually. What a worst service ### 1/5 — From Lifetime to Yearly *2025-09-20, version 2.0.1.3* Ah, the good old “lifetime” promise. By lifetime, I foolishly assumed they meant my lifetime, not the lifetime of their marketing gimmick. Turns out “lifetime” in their dictionary translates neatly to “until we feel like switching you over to yearly.” ### 1/5 — Paid🤦 *2025-08-14, version 2.0.1.3* Paid🙆‍♂️😢 ### 1/5 — No pronunciation? *2025-07-31, version 2.0.1.3* I just got this because I thought it sounds like an amazing idea yet in practice. It wasn’t crafted thoughtfully in that they expect you just to know how to pronounce these challenging mantras because there’s absolutely no way that most westerner would innately be able to confidently pronounce any of these mantras correctly. If you want this app to have any sort of success, there needs to be some sort of playback feature so that we know what to say. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Why bother making this app? *2025-04-18, version 2.0.1.3* Everything is an upcharge. What actual utility does this offer? Plenty of free apps and real teachers with better foundations and business practices. ### 1/5 — Pay Wall *2025-04-16, version 2.0.1.3* The app looks great but everything I click, besides the regular japa, is a pay wall. ### 1/5 — Lost my purchase *2025-03-31, version 2.0.1.3* I came back after a few years and seems to have lost my purchase which was 1 time. When I try to restore. It says restored but only to free tier ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-07-28, version 2.0.1.3* Thank you ### 5/5 — After jaap complete app stuck *2026-07-09* After jaap complete app stuck and does not respond and show me successfully done Problem resolved after software update done ### 5/5 — Love it like it *2026-06-27, version 2.0.1.3* Love it like it but need to improve little it . Need to have more mantra there not enough mantra for god and goddess ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-03-23, version 2.0.1.3* I love everything you guys do to contribute in helping me grow spiritually. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-02-01* It’s a good app. One feature to add will make it great, what if it counts the japa, if we speak in to the mic while doing japa instead of having to tap on the screen ### 5/5 — RajeshTV *2025-12-19, version 2.0.1.3* In this phase where we want everything mobile and in finger tips, this app has helped me to stay closer to soul. Daily recommendations has revealed me as to how many different forms of almighty sanatana has, truly bless. God bless all who are working on this app. ### 5/5 — Fab app *2025-07-26, version 2.0.1.3* The streak and progress features are very good - motivates you to keep chanting ### 5/5 — Weekly leader board *2025-05-24* My weekly leader board count stopped and not updating itself ### 5/5 — So Easy and Helpful *2025-04-11, version 2.0.1.3* Just tap on the app as you repeat the mantra. It counts for you. It’s awesome ### 5/5 — Must have *2025-02-26, version 2.0.1.3* Very convinient --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
