What's New in Sankashti
1.5.0
August 13, 2026
• New: Nitya — the recordings devotees reach for daily, in one place. Ganpati Atharvashirsha, Vakratunda Mahakaya and Ganesh Chalisa for the morning; Sukhkarta Dukhharta and Ghalin Lotangan for the lamp; bhajans for the evening; and the official Bal Ganesh films for the family. The tab opens on morning stotras before four, evening bhajans after. • New: Ganeshotsav 2026 — a dedicated tab for the festival, front and centre through the season, with a countdown to Ganesh Chaturthi when you open the app. • Three more cities in the picker: Houston, Dallas and San Francisco. Moonrise is calculated per city, so Houston no longer borrows Chicago's timing. • Sankashti Chaturthi dates now run through 2027. • A new Sankashti app icon and refreshed artwork inside the app. • Alarms now say plainly whether they are set, rather than signalling it with colour alone. • The alarms screen is now in Hindi as well as English and Marathi. • Occasion reminders are steadier — reminders are budgeted so none are silently dropped. • Support email updated to support@a4teams.com.
