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! ### 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. ### 4/5 — app issues *2026-03-31* some features are not working at all like hukamnama and random shabad. plz check ### 1/5 — Vibe coded app that asks you to pay for everything *2026-03-22* Its a simple vibe coded app that someone is looking to make money from - better to support other causes than this **Developer response:** We understand the frustration, and we're sorry it left you feeling this way. Simran is built by a small team of real artists, developers, and creators, and the membership is what lets us pay them fairly and build it slowly and properly, without ads or selling your data. Our hope is to make it free one day. If you'd like to try it, there's a 7-day free trial and a full refund if it isn't for you. 🙏 ### 3/5 — Subscription *2026-03-06* The app is a good idea to get everyone closer to their faith. Not good implementation however when you put it behind a paywall. Even a limited free version would’ve been nice. I understand it takes money to build and maintain an app. But even the option of a no-commitment trial would’ve been nice. Otherwise great idea. **Developer response:** Thank you, this is kind and fair feedback. Good news, there actually is a 7-day free trial with no commitment, a full refund if it isn't for you, and a cheaper plan as well. The membership is what lets us keep building Simran properly and pay the artists and developers behind it, without running ads or selling your spiritual data. We'd love for you to give the trial a try. 🙏 ### 2/5 — Good initiative but there should be some free access to application *2026-03-04* Can’t do anything if you don’t pay for subscription. Either offer a monthly subscription or some part of the app should be available without paying not completely blocking the app **Developer response:** We hear you, and thank you for being honest. There is a 7-day free trial so you can explore everything with no commitment, a cheaper plan, and a full refund if it isn't for you. The membership is what keeps Simran going without ads or selling your spiritual data, and it lets us pay the team behind it fairly. Our goal is to make it free one day. 🙏 ### 1/5 — Great on Tech, Poor on Sikh Philosophy *2026-03-02* This kind of APP looks cool but what they are promoting, even they don’t know. The translation and interpretation seems to based on English translation already widely available. The problem is, most of this is not contextual or imbedded in Sikh Philosophy. Almost all of it is Literal translation and when you let AI interpret the literal it aggravates the problem exponentially rather than solving it. One example, Simran is not chanting, it’s remembrance. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share this, we take it to heart. Staying rooted in Sikh philosophy, not just literal translation, matters deeply to us, and we're always working to do better. We've shared your feedback, including the point on Simran as remembrance and not chanting, with our team. We're grateful for voices like yours that help keep us honest. 🙏 ### 5/5 — Waheguru *2026-02-21* Beautifully designed, Daily Hukamnama from Darbar sahib, simple, soft and easy to understand meaning of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji🙏 **Developer response:** Thank you 🙏 Waheguru. We're so grateful you're enjoying the daily Hukamnama from Darbar Sahib and the meanings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. It means the world that Simran is part of your day. 💙 ### 1/5 — Never be a paid app *2026-02-19* Shouldn’t be on App Store if they going to get money for it . I didn’t want to give a one star either this app doesn’t deserve any star **Developer response:** Thank you for trying Simran, and we truly hear you. Our goal is for Simran to be free one day, but first we have to build it right. The membership is what lets us build slowly and properly and pay our artists, creators, and developers a livable wage, instead of running ads or selling your spiritual data. There's a 7-day free trial, a full refund if it isn't for you, and a cheaper plan too. 🙏 ### 1/5 — Subscription payment is silly I’m trying to use the app to get closer to God. Not to spend my money. *2026-02-18* I saw the app on insta and I’ve downloaded but I have to pay to use it which I find very silly. Because I was really looking forward to using it but I guess I’m just going to delete the app now. **Developer response:** We completely understand, and thank you for being so honest. We never want cost to stand between anyone and their connection with God. Right now the membership is what lets us build Simran properly and pay the people creating it a fair wage, without filling it with ads or selling your data. Please try the 7-day free trial first, and if it isn't for you we'll refund you fully. There's a cheaper plan as well. 🙏💙 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 🙏 ### 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. ### 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? ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-05-10* Missrepresnting sikhism this app should be banned. ### 1/5 — Needs autoscroll feature *2026-05-07* Needs autoscroll feature as audio is going please then it will be five stars. Its hard for me to scroll and keep up with my finger. Other apps have autoscroll and it highlights as it moves down. thank you ### 1/5 — subscription was a let down *2026-04-19* Unfortunately i’m not able to pay and i was looking for something long term to use to get closer to my faith and upon opening the app, it was a disappointment as there’s not even a restricted limited option. I understand the costs of running an app but even using ads would make me more interested in this app. ### 1/5 — Scammed me *2026-04-04* Signed up for the free week but charged me 36 dollars. ### 1/5 — Should be free completely *2026-03-25* You guys can make the app free and run it with ads, it would be way better **Developer response:** We really hear you, and we do want Simran to be free one day, we mean that. The reason we don't run ads is simple. We refuse to fill your simran with ads or sell your spiritual data to ad networks. The membership is what lets us build slowly and pay our artists, developers, and team a fair wage. There's a 7-day free trial, a cheaper plan too, and a full refund if it isn't for you. 🙏 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gundeep singh *2026-08-22* 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 💙 ### 5/5 — Glitchy *2026-04-27* Can't get past intro quiz ### 5/5 — Good Function & Good Design *2026-04-21* This app works very well and is very intuitive. Certainly worth the premium subscription. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-04-13* One of the best apps I have ever used ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-03-31* Very good ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-03-25* I’ve had the app for nearly two days, all I can say is that, it’s amazing. Beautiful interface, section are laid out very clearly, it’s not buggy, the audio recording of the Hukamnama from Darbar sahib is also very clear (as some apps don’t have clear audio). The app, in my opinion, has everything a Sikh could ever need to be honest, you can do simran, do your nitnem, do even sehaj paath if you want, learn more about the rehat maryada in different categories e.g., Kirtan, lifestyle, congregational etiquette. Truly an amazing app and well worth the price. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh 🙏🏽. ### 5/5 — Judgment Free Connection to Sikhi *2026-02-25* As a Canadian-born Sikh raised in a Sikh family, I knew the basics of Sikhi but was always curious to learn more. Sometimes it felt intimidating to ask elders or a granthi questions out of fear of being judged. The Simran app gave me a safe, comfortable space to explore my faith in depth and at my own pace. It truly helped me strengthen my understanding and connection to Sikhi. **Developer response:** This truly moved us, thank you for sharing it 🙏 A safe, judgment-free space to explore Sikhi at your own pace is exactly what we hoped Simran could be. We're so grateful it's helping you grow closer to your faith. 💙 ### 5/5 — Simran *2026-02-24* This app for Sikhi is top notch! You can do your nitnem, simran, and read guru granth sahib ji all in one in this app. Download now… **Developer response:** Thank you so much 🙏 Nitnem, simran, and Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji all in one home, that's exactly what we hoped for. Your support means the world to us. 💙 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
