### 1/5 — Gurbani should be free

*2026-08-24*

Gurbani should be free. It's crazy people are charging now for gurbani too. Waheguru ji.

**Developer response:** We hear you, and honestly, we wish it could be free too, that's the goal someday. Right now the membership is what lets us build Simran slowly and properly, and pay the artists, creators and developers behind it a fair, livable wage. We won't get there by putting ads in the app or selling your data, your simran isn't for sale. There's a 7 day free trial, a cheaper plan, and a full refund if it's not for you. Thank you for saying this, truly. Waheguru ji 🙏

### 5/5 — Gundeep singh

Best

**Developer response:** Thank you so much 🙏 means a lot to our whole team. Waheguru bless you.

### 5/5 — Honest Review

*2026-08-07*

Keep it up, people might say the app is expensive but I know the app developers are trying to make it accessible for everyone. The Truth is some can’t afford the app but hopefully in the near future this app may become cheaper or easier to access. As a 18 yr old I completely understand both the developers and Gurbani learners. But let’s both support the mission of learning from our Gurus teachings. Developers I believe you guys have employees to pay but may want to include some cheaper plans that are limited to an extent, and may want to add extra funding options to support your growth which some may contribute a bit e.g a months plan for £7.99 or a weekly plan of £2.99 (it catches attention and doesn’t seem like too much). Basically more plan options available when I saw the plan it said £30 something it threw me off so just work on that side abit. I see your guys hard work and commitment so don’t worry as God is with you. I’m really proud of you guys for even thinking of creating an app to spread our Gurus teachings.success isn’t far away if you remain truthful. Take care

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for these kind, thoughtful words, they really moved us. 🙏 You're right that pricing weighs on us too, our real hope is for Simran to be free one day. For now membership lets us pay the artists, creators and developers behind it a fair wage, instead of running ads or selling anyone's sacred data. We do have a cheaper plan and a 7 day free trial with a full refund if it's ever not right for someone. Blessings to you for carrying this mission with us. Waheguru 💙

### 5/5 — Great App!!!

*2026-08-05*

I have been using Simran for a little bit now and it has truly helped me deepen my understanding of gurbani. One of the features I really like is AI chat. It explains everything so beautifully and gives me the meaning and small actions I can take to apply the teachings in my real life. It would be really nice to be able to have a chat history in the app. I screenshot when I want to remember something but it would be great to have that functionality in the future. Overall, really great app!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this beautiful message 🙏❤️ we're so glad the AI chat has been helping you connect with gurbani in a real way. Chat history is a great idea, we've shared it with our dev team so they can look into adding it. Grateful to have you with us on this journey. Waheguru 💙

### 4/5 — AI SOMETIMES CRASHES

*2026-08-04*

The Simran AI is pretty good and answers questions nicely. However, sometimes when the question is too long, it crashes, but most of the time works well. Nevertheless, I would urge the team to expand the Simran AI to encompass more questions and deliberations like from Sikh authors and Sikh teachers like by Bhai Maskeen Singh ji.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words and for flagging the crash with longer questions 🙏 we've shared that with our dev team so they can look into it. Love the idea of bringing in more from Sikh scholars like Bhai Maskeen Singh ji, we'll pass that along too. Grateful for your support!

### 1/5 — Paid

*2026-07-27*

You need subscriptions for use

**Developer response:** We hear you 🙏 our hope is for Simran to be free for everyone one day, but right now the membership is what lets us pay the artists and team behind it fairly, without ads or selling your data. There's a 7 day free trial and a full refund if it's not for you. Thank you for sharing.

### 2/5 — Too many glitches

*2026-07-23*

It does not update the daily saying and options when i opts for it . It’s more of a static version . Presently not a good option to buy

**Developer response:** So sorry for the trouble, that's not how Simran should work 🙏 we've shared this bug with our dev team so they can dig into the daily update issue. Thank you for your patience as we keep improving it, we really appreciate you sticking with us.

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2026-07-05*

Honestly, the app is very well made with many features that would bring many closer to sikhi in a modern and digital way which is easily accessible. However, the subscription was a disappointment as many age groups like under 18s might not be able to access the app or people that cannot afford it. A big let down since the aim is to connect people to waheguru but I guess app creators are more interested in gathering maya.

**Developer response:** Thank you for such kind words about the app, and for caring this deeply. You are truly heard on the subscription. Our honest goal is for Simran to be free one day. We are not there yet, and right now the membership is what lets us build it slowly and properly, and pay the artists, developers and people behind Simran a livable wage for real work. We will not make it 'free' by running ads or selling your spiritual data. Please try the 7-day free trial, there is a full refund if it is not for you, and a cheaper plan too. 🙏💙

### 1/5 — Subscription…big No No

*2026-06-26*

You shouldn’t put a price on helping people grow closer to Sikhi, that’s not at all what the religion’s about. Sikhi is all about learning freely and using the teachings from others goodwill to grow closer to Waheguru, it should not be made into a money making scheme.

### 1/5 — why pay?

*2026-05-28*

why pay?
