### 1/5 — Lots and lots of Mistakes in so many kirtans

*2026-08-19*

9 years ago, I wrote a 5 star review of this app. Now I have the other view. The developers don’t want this app to be a simple Kirtanavali app and instead want a mega app infested with lots of unnecessary features. Also its very very sad that almost all the kirtans has either grammatical mistake, words missing, words changed. This changes the meaning of mul kirtan and forever misguides people. I would request developers to please pay attention to the lyrics of atleast top 2000 kirtans on this app (now you havr this data since redesign) and atleast correct the lyrics. Do not use kirtanavali published by kalupur mandir for reference because that itself has so many mistakes. Please use reference of other authentic publications.

### 5/5 — This Update is not really user friendly Bhakto

*2025-10-22, version 4.1.0*

Mare 5 star apva padya che kem ke 1 or 2 star apva e kirtanavali mate saru na kevay as a Haribhagat.
But aa app bau j confusing che
Amuk kirtans nathi malta..
History bau ochi batave che
All in all not user friendly 
Please kaik change karo kem ke bau j regular base par ame aa kirtanavali use krie chie ame.
Mandir ma pan bau haribhakto ni complain che le nathi favti aa update em.
Ketlak haribhakto e use krvani pan band kri didhi
Please do something.
Dandvat pranam sah 
Jay shree Swaminarayan

### 2/5 — Kirtanvali
