|| Shri Hari Vayu Gurubhyo Namah || Vedic Students is now Vedic Studies. Since the last update, everything has been rebuilt: the app, the player, and the library behind it. What you can do now: * Listen to the same chant three ways: Learn repeats after the teacher, Understand explains it, Listen plays the full rendition. * Add a chant's text from a link, a paste or a PDF and read along full screen. Vedic svara marks are drawn as marks, exactly as printed. * Split sandhi into its words and keep private study notes on any line. * Download chants and listen with no signal at all. * Repeat a chant 108 or 1008 times with an honest counter: only full recitations count. * See which parts of a chant you have truly heard, not just how far you scrubbed. * The daily panchanga for your own city, drawn from printed almanacs, with any day shareable as a picture. * Playlists, bookmarked moments, and your place kept across devices. * A light theme and a warm dark theme for evening practice. Free, with no ads and nothing to buy, from a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Corrections to any text are genuinely welcome: write to contact@vedicstudies.org. || Shree Krishnarpanamastu ||

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Madhwa App at none against Vedic Studies's 1. Madhwa App also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Vedic Studies's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
