It is easy to use and navigate, while being a great resource. 6-stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Newish to Hinduism *2022-04-14* So I’ve been studying Hinduism on and off for years but only recently have decided to become more strict in my studies as I would love to practice this beautiful faith. It all just rings so true! This app has been so helpful and handy throughout this journey; thank you for such a wonderfully expansive tool! Namaste! ### 5/5 — A Thousand Thank you's *2021-03-05* Thank you for providing this gift to the world. I have not used it often, but I did this morning when my partner and I sat down to meditate. He loved it and will be downloading it. Fun story to share too, I was reading the Ganesh Puja while brushing my teeth and not over a sink. Too much multi-tasking entered my morning. I had toothpaste spill over my lips and on to my shirt and robe belt. I noted to myself stop multi-tasking. I went to wash it off and it was already gone. Thank you, Ganesh. 😀 Now back to the review, I am an English speaker whom is challenged with any new language and I am a bit hard of hearing. I do better with accents if I can see the lips of the person. Yet with chanting, I can usually find my way into it without seeing the person if I can hear it repeating. I would likely use the chant feature more often if it offered an option to chant with someone that can properly say the words. I like that you can hear someone say the words correctly and the intonation with it, but it would help to hear it in sequence as if sitting amongst others at a temple. I found this app after visiting the Kaua'i Monastery in Hawai'i. Such a peaceful space. I finally got to visit India last year but our trip was cut short due to the need to return to help in England. Before that in Maryland, US, I used to visit Amma's temple and loved the community and to chant along but felt on the outskirts since I didn't understand religious references. This app would have been hugely helpful to me then. I used to have a CD of chanting from the Sierre Mountains retreat center of Parahamansa Yogananda's followers that worked for me which is why I am suggesting for your app upgrade that you include chanting that can continue for those that want to feel amongst others or need to hear it until they learn it. I have learned so much from having friends from around the world. Some of which are orphaned children and their saintly caregivers in a Home in Nepal. I will share this app with them as they enjoy meditating with me and doing yoga and breath work. I am hugely grateful for this amazing gift that you provide to the world as my financial situation is completely upended due to some unwise financial decisions that I made. But I learned a lot and made a ton of amazing friends along the way. I know I am not alone so all will be well. **Developer response:** Namaste, Thank you for using the app. There is audio in the chanting section. Click on a chant you want to learn that then click each line to hear the audio. Or play the audio via the playhead if in that format. Make sure the physical mute switch on the side of your phone is turned off. ### 5/5 — Wonderful App *2020-11-25* Helps me maintain my spiritual practice. I’d highly recommend it. For those who can’t hear sound, it’s probably your mute switch. Just flip the physical switch on the left side of your phone. ### 5/5 — I use it everyday. *2019-11-20* This is the best app out there that actually helps me grow and cultivate deeper into my faith. Awesome, awesome app. ### 5/5 — Simple yet comprehensive! *2019-11-07* It’s transformational and so rich in options. Start right off with the quick 10 minute workout whenever you can then look for options. Well thought through. The ideal portable experience! ### 5/5 — Five stars *2019-10-18* Everything is covered for the serious student of the inner life seeking guidance and inspiration along the path to spiritual illumination ### 5/5 — Jai to spiritual consciousness *2019-08-30* Giving this app five stars only because there is no 6-star option. How often are we given tools for our inner life? The designer clearly knows his stuff and draws on a wide range of consciousness raising practices. Any serious seeker will find the app useful, maybe even life changing. I mean it! ### 5/5 — Looks and works beautifully *2019-08-29* This is a beautiful app to guide ones daily spiritual practice. ### 5/5 — Exquisite *2017-10-13* Absolutely exquisite. I adore the deep, rich colors, the glowing diyas and overall temple-like feel sustained upon entering this app. It is also exceptionally useful and very well layed out. One of the two most valuable apps on my smartphone. ### 5/5 — Great companion app *2016-11-02* This app is beautiful and useful. I love that I have this on my phone and can listen mantras anytime on my phone anytime I have 10 minutes break. Someone really put a lot of thought into it. ### 5/5 — Sadhana on the go *2016-10-20, version 1.0* Great app for efficient daily meditation and chanting practice. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Sound *2020-08-22, version 2.0* Disappointed. Hopefully, they will fix it soon. ### 2/5 — No sound *2020-07-21* Can’t hear anything. Once was able to hear when using bluetooth. The app seems wonderful, but many of the functions lose their purpose without audio. Definitely 5 stars if I could actually use the app appropriately the way it is presented. **Developer response:** It is likely your phone's mute switch. Simply flip the physical switch on the left side of your phone and it should work. ### 2/5 — No sound *2020-07-09* I downloaded this for the audio assistance with some more difficult to pronounce mantra but with my iPhone 6s it does not play sound. The other resources are okay, but this did not meet my needs. I’ll keep it installed for a couple of updates to see if it is fixed, but if you are looking for audio I’d recommend not downloading this application. I wish I could love it :/ **Developer response:** It is likely your phone's mute switch. Simply flip the physical switch on the left side of your phone and it should work. ### 3/5 — No sound *2023-03-31* I enjoy this app for the most part but the sound for the mantras and meditations doesn’t work. I tried deleting and reinstalling but it still doesn’t work. ### 5/5 — Simple and practical *2026-05-31* Simple and workable Spiritual Workout. Very centering, grounding and energizing. It reflects that a very knowledgeable, heart centered group has put this app together. ### 5/5 — Just a random download *2025-05-12* That turned it to something useful I use it everyday ### 5/5 — Great App for spiritual seekers *2024-12-28* I found the app by mistake but it’s the best thing that happened to me. I use it daily morning. It’s simply perfect. Thank you for bring the light. ### 5/5 — Great App!!! *2024-05-18, version 2.0* Great start for me as I am a beginner on a path to enlightenment ### 5/5 — Beautiful and generous *2024-01-30* This app is *beautiful*. It’s full of good information and inspiration, and guidance for practicing. It’s hard to believe that it’s freely given. ### 5/5 — Amazing work by Himalayan Academy *2023-11-05, version 2.0* Thiruchitrambalam… Thank you for your support and service.
