Pay to use only

Charging people to learn about Sikhi and connect with their faith is pretty ridiculous imo. And every type of access is behind a paywall, wow.

Charges

Why are we paying for something that should be (and is) free. Gurbani should be free.

Gurbani should be free

Didn’t like someone charging for gurbani. It should be free and if u can’t afford to provide for free stay away. Do not belittle our sikhism. People get wrong notifications

Response from developer

We hear you, and we're sorry this felt disrespectful to our faith, that was never our intent. Our hope is for Simran to be free one day. Right now membership is what lets us build slowly and pay the artists, creators and developers behind it a livable wage, without ads or selling anyone's spiritual data. There's a 7 day free trial and a full refund if it's not for you. We'll also pass along the notification issue to our team. Waheguru 🙏

Gurbani Shouldn’t Be Behind a Paywall 🙏

Its disappointing that you have to pay to access basic features like listening to paath and reading Gurbani. Spirituality and connecting with Waheguru shouldn’t be locked behind a paywall. People should be able to read Gurbani, listen to paath, and learn more about Sikhi without having to pay for it.

I understand developers need to cover their costs, but putting essential spiritual content behind a subscription doesn’t feel right. There are many people who genuinely want to get closer to God and learn more about Sikhi, but may not be able to afford another subscription. 🙏

Response from developer

Thank you for saying this, we really hear you and it means a lot that you care this deeply about Gurbani reaching people. Our real hope is for Simran to be free for everyone one day, but we have to build it slowly and rightly first. Right now membership is what lets us pay the artists, creators, and developers behind Simran a livable wage, and it means we never have to put ads in the app or sell anyone spiritual data to survive. There is a 7 day free trial, a full refund if it is not for you, and a cheaper plan too. Thank you for holding us to that, Waheguru 🙏

Collecting data

You guys doing false advertising for this app as free app to collect data and after those steps it’s paid subscription.
Just make the app paid

Response from developer

We hear you, and we're sorry it felt that way. We're not collecting your data to sell, if anything that's exactly why we chose to be a paid app, we refuse to put ads in Simran or sell your spiritual data to anyone. Our real goal is for Simran to be free one day, but right now memberships let us pay the artists, creators and team who build it properly and keep your data safe. There's a 7 day free trial and a full refund if it's not for you. 🙏

Thank you

Thank you 😇😇

Response from developer

Thank you so much 🙏 means a lot to us and to everyone building Simran with love.

Amazing.. but not free

Content like this should be given for free to everyone.

Response from developer

We hear you, and honestly we want that too. Our goal is for Simran to be free for everyone one day. Right now the membership is what lets us build it slowly and properly, and pay the artists, creators, and developers behind it a livable wage. We won't put ads in the app or sell your spiritual data to get there, your simran isn't for sale. There's a 7 day free trial and a full refund if it's not for you. Thank you for caring enough to say something. 🙏

Waheguru

Best spiritual app

Response from developer

Waheguru ji, thank you so much 🙏 It means the world to hear that. Grateful for you and for every bit of support from this community.

Gurbani should be free

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

Response from developer

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 🙏

Honest Review

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

Response from developer

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 💙

Great App!!!

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!!!

Response from developer

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 💙

AI SOMETIMES CRASHES

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.

Response from developer

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!

Paid

You need subscriptions for use

Response from developer

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.

Too many glitches

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

Response from developer

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.

Subscription

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.

Response from developer

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. 🙏💙

Subscription…big No No

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.

why pay?

Not good

Missrepresnting sikhism this app should be banned.
