Does not progress further ### 1/5 — App not working *2025-12-30* The app simply doesn’t authenticate on an IPhone ? Is there an update for IoS ? ### 1/5 — Inadequate app implementation *2021-06-07* 1. The lectures off pujya Swamiji can be heard only through cell phones. This is a limitation as we should be able to login and listen through a desktop environment. 2. If we take a call coming through the iPhone, the app losses where the lectures is interrupted and goes back to apps home screen. It is difficult to identify the lectures' classification through its icon, and if you somehow find the topic back, then to reposition or remember where the lecture was interrupted. People do get phone calls in an hour's duration of the lectures. 3. The same problem occurs if one pauses the lecture for any reason, say, a bathroom break. I am puzzled by such a poor implementation and user interface for Divine lectures by pujya Swamiji. **Developer response:** Hari Om.. The Technical team is looking into the bluetooth issue and will get back once it gets rectified. For any assistance, please write to us sastraprakasika@gmail.com. Thank you ### 2/5 — Bluetooth Compatibility *2020-09-07* Dear Developers : Not able to stream the audio via any bluetooth interface. Please fix this. It is highly unlikely that an ardent listener will want to use the iPhone/iPad’s native speaker to listen through so much volume of Swamiji’s lectures. Thanks in advance! Ashwin. **Developer response:** Hari Om.. The Technical team is looking into the bluetooth issue and will get back once it gets rectified.

Thank you ### 3/5 — Need some basic features like remembering where we left off *2023-03-09* Thanks for this app and providing a way to get lectures and listen. But given the prodigious output of Swamiji's lectures, how did you think users would keep track of which work, which volume, which track and what time stamp they last left it on? Just saving the user's state as to where they were last itself (let alone each track, volume, work) is a great start. Can you also add a feature to play at different speeds? (like 1.25x, 1.5x .. etc). Thanks. ### 5/5 — Fantastic update *2026-01-20* Please also add ability to go back 15 seconds in the recordings. Currently, it is hard to precisely “rewind” Thank you! ### 5/5 — Thank you for long waited update! *2026-01-09* Very good update which solved many issues with the old version. So happy that finally this app is functional and stable, thank you very much to all developers who worked on it. Hari Om 🙏 ### 5/5 — Lectures are really good but *2025-10-02* Please allow us to share them, at least the first few that are purchased or at least publish a few on YouTube so that we can share it with others and they can decide later to buy ### 5/5 — Desperately needs update! *2024-04-12* First of all, this App is the only way you can listen to an absolutely amazing presentation of the Vedic wisdom by one of the best contemporary teachers swami Paramarthananda, unless you have a luck to be in his presence. I am very grateful that this App exists at all but it desperately needs update! When you purchase item it’s not added to your library, you have to write to the help email to fix this, mind you, every time. When you download item and you don’t have an Internet connection App will not start which defeats the purpose of items being downloaded if you can’t listen them offline. If you pause the playback then almost always after some time App crushes and doesn’t remember where recording stopped. Also I am not able to add my cellphone, after adding it just keeps spinning. If you need help with updating this very much needed App please let us know and we will find developers who will do it for free. This wisdom should be accessible to as many people as possible. Hari Om ### 5/5 — Purchase problem *2024-04-09* I purchased the app and one cd of Brihadaranyaka Upanishad but I don’t have any access to the purchased lectures and “My Library” is empty. Also I am not able to add my cellphone, after adding it just keeps spinning. Can you please help. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent Source *2022-07-02* I am able to access all the talks of Swamiji’s. The audio is very clear. The way app organized everything is amazing. ### 5/5 — Thanks a lot *2020-11-30* Great app. There are some bugs to be improved but it’s a great point to start. I am pretty sure they will be resolved in the due course. Now I can listen to Swamijis teaching guilt-free.
