Gurukul - Learn It Properly Courses on the epics, history and philosophy, broken into short lessons you finish in 5 to 10 minutes. Each lesson brings the verses, the people, the Sanskrit terms and the places you can still visit, then a quiz that makes it stick.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tālapatram sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and COOLPHABETS sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $79.00 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Tālapatram against 4.9 for COOLPHABETS. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: COOLPHABETS has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
