### 5/5 — 这样更完美

*2021-04-21*

首先先谢谢开发者们，这个软件用了很多年非常喜欢。如果读经文字幕能自动滚动那就更好了，读到那就滚动到哪，这样手就不要一直滑动看，这样更完美

### 5/5 — 非常殊胜的软件

*2020-11-25*

此软件非常好 比较全面 很多不会的可以跟着念 特别是地藏经里的木鱼版 一直是我想找的 非常感谢开发者 发殊胜菩提心 
  也有一点个人的小小建议 看看能不能把版本佛头像换成其他的比较殊胜的头像呢 我自己感觉用手指点佛像有点不礼貌 心特别虚 如有过失 在此真诚忏悔

### 5/5 — 我用过的最好的学佛软件

*2020-11-08*

我下载过很多学佛软件，只有这款一直在用！随喜赞叹开发出这么好软件的师兄！也随喜功德用这款软件的师兄！这款软件界面干净内容丰富，不想其他软件内容界面花里胡哨，一看心里会很乱。只有听佛经能让人心生安静平和的心，这简直就是佛知识的宝库，学佛人的福音！愿开发者师兄们能让里面的内容更加丰富，也愿能有更多师兄与听佛经结缘！阿弥陀佛！

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2020-07-06, version 7.0*

A wonderful treasure. Really delighted to have found this App.

### 5/5 — A wonderful app.

*2020-07-05, version 7.0*

Been looking for this kind of app for quite some time.  Feature with sleep timer is great bonus.  
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

### 5/5 — 非常好用！

*2020-07-01, version 7.0*

超级赞的

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2020-05-15, version 7.0*

It’s rich of articles about Buddhism. It functions very well. As a Buddhist, I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Great app!!! The soundtracks are very nice!

*2020-04-01*

For English speakers, mantras are the ones to go, since the sutras recordings are in Chinese. 
For Chinese speakers, I strongly recommend the recordings of Master Huiping. They are super clear and comforting.

### 5/5 — 内容都是我想要的一直没有找到，比如海涛法师的咒语等还有各种经典

*2019-10-14*

内容非常多，特别适合初学者。喜欢的师兄可以下载！南无本师释迦摩尼佛 南无本师释迦摩尼佛 南无本师释迦摩尼佛

### 5/5 — 过去的经验证明，修心之路是有必要的。

*2019-10-09*

有的人很幸运，一直不会有什么压力挫折。那是极少数的，大部分的人在遭遇喜怒哀乐之后—遭遇挫折 诽谤 委屈 不公 等等，快乐时少，迷茫的时候更多。渐渐地发现需要寻找答案，一个能让我们不那么计较而且产生更多的乐趣包容他人的心路。遇见一切都不晚，都是最好的安排，遇见了佛。

### 5/5 — 非常好，受益无穷

*2019-10-05*

听佛经让人心情舒畅多了，里面的道理让人豁然开朗，让我明白了很多人生的意义。咒语帮助人清净内心，消除烦恼，平静思绪，找回自我。文海中讲了很多做人的道理，让我认识到自己的很多问题，同时也慢慢悟到改过自新的方法。极力推荐。佛真的是无上的导师，佛法给人的利益是不可思议的，只要恭恭敬敬去学，一定大有收获！

### 5/5 — 佛像图片不如以前老版本

*2019-09-13*

最新的版本，佛像图片无法固定一直滚动！而且全屏，有的时候看到的佛像图片缺胳膊少腿！希望佛像图片还是能够恢复到以前的设置！

### 5/5 — Namo Amituofo

*2019-09-12*

Wonderful App and I have seen over the years it has improved!  Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo!

Just recite Na Mo A Mi Tou Fo! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

### 5/5 — 用了三四年了

*2019-09-10*

挺好的，心经的寺院版听着很舒服，感谢开发者。用了几年了，一直都舍不得删，排版看着也很舒服，还有各种日子的提醒，考虑的很周到，要是下载的佛经能在手机内部储存能听就更方便了。感恩。

### 5/5 — 方便好用

*2019-08-30*

随缘下载的听佛经软件，非常好用，每个佛经都有好几种版本可以选择，喜欢王菲的百字明咒和善音居士的地藏经，让有缘人选择最好的打开方式！阿弥陀佛！

### 5/5 — 感恩整理上传，弘扬佛法

*2019-05-20*

软件内容很全，为修行提供很大便利！随喜感恩诸位师兄所做功德！但有一个小小建议，希望能够采纳，就是经文播放增加循环播放就好了，像别的音乐播放软件那样！希望可以改进！阿弥陀佛

### 5/5 — 非常好用，随喜功德，阿弥陀佛

*2019-04-11*

下载了三四年了，十斋日，六斋日的提醒很及时，总体很好，望继续加油！用去来十分方便，没有广告，真正的清净之地

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2019-03-11, version 6.5*

I listen all the time _/\_

### 5/5 — 建议

*2019-02-18*

支持，这个是同类软件最清爽的。建议：文海中增加书签功能，文章比较长，一次看不完。或者改成安卓版那样有最近阅读和翻页功能。

### 1/5 — Swastika

*2014-09-24, version 5.0*

Who puts a swastika
  on the front of Buddha ? Are you a nazi?

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2012-05-05, version 2.3*

Seems like an amazing app but for some reason I can't seem to play any of the chants...is it just me or is it happening to other people too?

### 1/5 — Very Disappointed

*2012-04-06, version 2.2*

Before the upgrade this was a very nice app. Since the upgrade there are no sutras to listen to and I can't access the sutra cloud. I would be more than happy to pay for this app if it actually worked. It's just an empty shell. Very disappointing. :(

### 2/5 — Nazi?

*2013-01-02, version 3.0*

Can someone tell me why it looks like there is a Nazi symbol on Buddhas chest?  Is this normal?

### 2/5 — A Surprise

*2011-08-21*

The direct genuineness of the chanting is profound without a doubt; however, I have two objections: 

First: As an English speaker searching for Buddhist chants that I could learn, I was surprised to hear chants that I was familiar with now made incomprehensible because I am completely unfamiliar with them in (I think?) Chinese. Please, in future versions, make a note about the language in the app advertisement and don't advertise in English without saying anything about the language in which the chants are done. 

Second: After pressing the 'i' (information) icon I was shuttled to 'Rate (and buy) our app' page, but try as I would I could not return to any other pages. Closing and reopening the app found me on that same page with no alternative. Finally, I had to completely shut down my iPod and reboot in order to return to the list or the opening screen.

This is very poor app design and, in this day and age, inexcusable. In the end, the chanting is poorly served by the app's lack of quality.

### 3/5 — Working

*2021-11-07, version 7.5*

Working, but I don’t see translations, despite it saying translations are available in some of them.

### 3/5 — Its great app but..:(

*2014-04-22, version 3.1*

Pls help...i downloaded mantras to local but can't listen to them ?? What to do?

### 3/5 — language barrier

*2012-11-18*

hi, while this app is loaded with goodness, it's only good for people that speak the language they are recorded in. for English speakers only, it's pretty useless. 1 star for the great compassion mantra, 2 for the fact that this is free, and 3 because it's truly a gem in the sea of useless apps. 2 stars lacking because it's useless for me :(

### 3/5 — English

*2012-06-26, version 2.4*

Wonderful resource but it appears to have no English content unless I overlooked it.

### 4/5 — 方便实用如果内容再补充一些就更好了

*2019-01-25*

听佛经确实能让更多人更方便的了解佛法学习佛法 可以文字阅读也可以音声听闻如果内容再丰富一些就更好了 增加一些汉地藏地现在常用的经典与咒语那就更殊胜了

### 5/5 — 一點小建議

*2022-11-01, version 7.7*

1.希望可以自定義誦讀遍數，
2.希望可以調整速度保持不變，不用每次聽的時候需要再調整一次。
南無阿彌陀佛🙏🏻

### 5/5 — 非常好用的一款听佛经软件

*2022-04-13*

界面干净整洁，让人生出清净心，不像很多软件界面花里胡哨，佛经音频有多个版本可以选择，还有佛经文字对照，还有完整的修行仪轨，有斋日提醒，个人学习佛法以来遇到的最好的一款软件！
