### 5/5 — Bahai Prayers

*2025-03-13, version 5.0.0*

Excellent multilingual Bahai prayer book

### 4/5 — Very Good. Please make it excellent

*2025-02-05, version 5.0.0*

This is actually the app that I’m using right now, but it is missing one thing that would make it great.  It only allows one bookmark list.  If I could have multiple bookmark lists, it would be awesome.

### 5/5 — 5 star ⭐️

*2024-03-01, version 5.0.0*

i think this app is extremely useful for bahai’s especially when you forgot to bring your prayer book , and it’s also portable to bring EVERYWHERE OR ANYWHERE you just don’t have to worry about bringing a prayer book

### 4/5 — Lovely but flawed with no app support

*2024-01-12, version 5.0.0*

Alláh-u-Abhá!
I use this app all the time. 
I discovered it so many years ago I raised suspicions about what I was doing on my phone during devotions!
This week is the first week I have noticed discrepancies. 
How do we report issues? I cannot find a live link for app support.

### 5/5 — Night mode?

*2021-10-14, version 4.1.0*

I love this app, I use it all the time. I was wondering about how the categories and prayer title pages are black in the background, and how I could make the prayer pages also black in the background so that I can use it late at night without a bright white screen :) A night mode/day mode toggle might work? Not sure. Thanks for all you do :-)

### 5/5 — The standard prayer app

*2021-01-17, version 4.1.0*

This app is very easy to use and it’s great that new prayers and languages are often added to the catalogue. 

A humble suggestion, to improve the bookmark feature there needs to be a way of organising them. There are two options for this, (1) the bookmarks section can be sorted by category, or (2) in the prayer catalogue itself a marker is placed on those prayers that have been bookmarked. One of these options would address my suggestion regarding the arrangement of bookmarks. 

Many thanks for your service,

### 5/5 — Great!

*2020-07-04, version 4.0*

I have noticed that the prayer, or God, refresh and gladden my spirit is “not” included. As far as I can tell, the origins or original text for this prayer has not been found, but guidance has been provided to publish it anyway. Maybe you have more information than I do?It would be great if you could include it assuming it is permitted.

I have been using this app since the beginning and it is still my go-to prayer book. Many many thanks !!!

### 3/5 — Prayer Book ( Baha'i )

*2020-03-21, version 4.0*

SUGGESTION ~ the SEARCH area is dark blue. The letters one types are black. CANT READ what is put down ie) if there was a typo etc. 
Otherwise it’s wonderful. 
➕Plus there is no way to get support & the message to click on Google+ is out of date ( was shut down). No way to contact developer or get support or make suggestions.

### 5/5 — Language request

*2020-03-10, version 4.0*

This is a great app that I’ve been using for years now. I wonder if it would be possible to add Samoan language. I would be happy to help if you could provide an email contact. Warm regards, Bob

### 3/5 — Search bar

*2019-02-27, version 4.0*

The search option doesn't work on iPhone 5C. It gives just a blank page. And I don't like the new blue look
