### 4/5 — Mistakes

*2026-07-01*

Waheguru ji there are a lot of mistakes in the app even in japji sahib, rehraas sahib ji and long length chopai sahib ji. Need to do sudhai ji since majority of people use app to do nitnem ji. 🙏

### 1/5 — Can’t use app

*2026-04-30*

Can’t access app. Says to select preference below but can’t scroll down to select it

### 3/5 — Manglacharan

*2026-01-27*

Where is the feature for the manglas to be on top

It used to have it

### 5/5 — Boht sphna upraala

*2025-12-01, version 5.8.5*

Waheguru ji

### 2/5 — Font thickness need fixing

*2025-11-23*

Please fix the font as the thickest is still not thick, it is very thin. Please give user’s ability to make fonts thick by using numbers rather than just 4 think font options.

### 1/5 — Auto scroll

*2025-11-15*

The auto scroll never works. The most annoying part is it never seems to get fixed. I hate it. Please fix the auto scroll.

### 4/5 — Theme

*2025-11-14*

I request developers to revert dark mode to black instead of gray as i am having oled device so it saves a lot of battery and loos good

### 1/5 — Errors in Rehraas sahib

*2025-11-05*

Please correct the error in Rehraas sahib in Chaupai . Your apps says” dass jaan ke hath ubaro “  and that is wrong. It is dass jaan de hath ubaro. Moreover title for kab bach dohra are wrong.

### 5/5 — ਖਾਲਸਾ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹੀ ੧੦, ੧੬ ਸਵੱਯੇ ਅਤੇ ੩੩ ਸੱਵਯੇ

*2025-08-29*

ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਿਹ ਜੀ 
ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ, ਖਾਲਸਾ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹੀ ੧੦, ੧੬ ਸਵੱਯੇ ਅਤੇ ੩੩ ਸੱਵਯੇ ਬਾਣੀ ਵੀ ਅਰਥਾਂ ਸਮੇਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਜ਼ਰੂਰ ਜੋੜੋ ਜੀ 
ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਸਹਿਤ

### 4/5 — New Update

*2025-08-26*

The new update is not so good because in Jaap Sahib the bani is vertically integrated which disturbs the flow. I would suggest the previous version was better then this one.
