### 3/5 — I love the app, BUT!!

*2026-07-17, version 3.18.11*

I use this app every day, and I really appreciate the large collection of tracks it offers.

However, I've been experiencing an issue where the tracks I add to my "My Tracks" (Favorites) tab are removed on their own.

I usually listen to a specific set of tracks based on my preferences and the situation I'm in, so I carefully shortlist the ones I like by adding them to "My Tracks." After some time, they disappear from that tab without me removing them. At first, I even thought I had forgotten whether I had added them, but after checking multiple times, I confirmed that they are being removed automatically.

I've also verified this across all of my devices, and the same issue occurs everywhere, so it doesn't appear to be device-specific.

I would really appreciate it if you could investigate and fix this issue, as it affects my daily experience with the app.

Thank you for your hard work and for providing such a great platform.

### 5/5 — App issues

*2026-06-04, version 3.18.7*

Recent update has corrupted the database, saved tracks are automatically getting removed from my library when you play them, also some of the albums are empty shows content unavailable.Request the developer to take a look 🙏🏻

### 1/5 — App is unusable

*2026-05-25, version 3.17.4*

I want to listen to the shabad and a pop up keeps popping up for some “Fundamental of Gurmat sungeet” it is unavoidable and uncloseable, just let me listen to the lords word in peace.

### 5/5 — Waheguru ji

*2026-05-13, version 3.18.5*

Audio gubani sarban krn lyi sab to vadia app

### 2/5 — Great app but having issues

*2026-05-05*

Best app for Gurbani and shabad. Having issues now though. When playing the playlist shabad, the transliteration of the 1st shabad is shown, however it doesn’t change when the 2nd shabad starts. It used to change automatically for every shabad playing its transliteration was shown, now only the transliteration for the 1st shabad is shown no matter what track after the first shabad is playing. Please fix.

Update (5/5/26):
App since my last review has taken a turn for the worst. Constant issues and functions that don’t work anymore. Despite sending feedback, no response from developers or any fix. Just getting worse. Shameful that there aren’t other competing apps with the library of shabad and lyrics with translations. This developer needs to get rid of IT dept and get competent people back.

### 5/5 — Vast selection

*2026-03-29*

I’ve been using this app for my shabads for over 10 years. Vast selection of Gurbani content. Thanks for creating this app!

### 5/5 — Waheguru

*2026-03-25, version 3.18.3*

It’s easy to use, it’s good and has lots of options.

### 5/5 — Loving SikhNet Play

*2026-03-13*

As a seeker, I have a high appreciation for accessible resources from faith traditions to educate myself with and to enjoy. SikhNet Play is just that!! Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Next level

*2026-02-09*

God bless those who made this app. Tremendous Seva. Can you also put this online on website ?

### 5/5 — God is love I love Sikh net

*2026-02-06, version 3.17.8*
