## What is Kavya?

Kavya is a calm, ad-free home for the classic poetry of India.

Read the great public-domain poets — Kabir, Mirza Ghalib, Tulsidas, Meera, Surdas, Rahim, Amir Khusrau, Rabindranath Tagore, Subramania Bharati and more — the way they deserve to be read: with care, and with understanding.

Every poem gives you:
- The original verse in its own script (Devanagari, Urdu, Tamil...)
- A clean Roman transliteration, so you can read along aloud
- A faithful English translation
- The meaning behind the poem, in plain language
- Word glosses and the literary devices at work

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-11

Opening Kavya Pro used to greet you with "Couldn't load purchase" for a moment before the price arrived — even when nothing was wrong. It now says it is checking the price, shows the real one as soon as the App Store answers, and quietly retries instead of giving up after a single try.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-23

No release notes.
