The repetition of mantras has a beneficial effect on a person in many areas of his life. This process is able to remove suffering on the mental and physical levels and to clarify consciousness. Recite mantras and keep track of your level. In this app: - Use preset mantras or create and set up your own. - Add most actual mantras to Favorites. - Track your readings statistics over time. - Enjoy the user-friendly interface and beautiful design on your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad and Mac (with M-chip). - Use all kinds of widgets with the necessary data on Home Screen and Lock Screen. - Take advantage of data sync across all your devices via iCloud (works automatically for signed-in users). All data is saved in iCloud and won’t be lost even if the application is deleted. Important information: Recitation of mantras - is a sacrament. Approach this issue with all your awareness. In order for the practice of reciting to be correct, one must receive the transmission of the mantra from the teacher. Transmission is essential to maintain the strength of the original source of the mantra. It is not enough just to read it in a book or on the Internet. For this reason, application doesn't include the mantra texts themselves (except Vajrasattva). They must be given to you by your spiritual mentor and can be added manually later. We wish you deep awarenesses and spiritual growth!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OmAhHum at 4.7 against Mantra Reader's 3.8. OmAhHum also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and ratings volume (19 vs 4). Mantra Reader's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OmAhHum sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Mantra Reader asks for nothing beyond the download.
OmAhHum holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 19 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Mantra Reader's written reviews are positive against 91% of OmAhHum's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mantra Reader ships an update monthly, OmAhHum fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
