Diwartapati is a companion for the Diwartapati Adhiṭṭhāna: the 108-day vow of reciting the Divā tapati verse (Dhammapada 387) kept by Theravada Buddhists in Myanmar. "The sun shines by day, the moon lights up the night, but the Buddha shines with radiance all day and all night." Start your vow on a day you choose, see which day and stage you are on, recite in the right order and keep the vow unbroken with a gentle daily reminder, in Burmese or English.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Diwartapati at every 8 days against Dhamma Stream's every 5 months. Diwartapati also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (678 vs 22). Dhamma Stream's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Diwartapati holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diwartapati has 678 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Dhamma Stream's written reviews are positive against 75% of Diwartapati's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dhamma Stream ships an update every 5 months, Diwartapati every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
