Extremely Handy

Hare Krishna the app is extremely easy to handle. Can increase the font size as well as can turn on dark mode. I can select the chapter and specific verse I want to. If I scroll fast it goes to the next chapter that’s only one small bug I saw. Thank you so much for making this application

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS!

So today I wanted to read a verse from Gita and open my physical copy of Bhagwat Gita. The following verse opened up:
“Arjuna said: O descendant of Vṛṣṇi, by what is one impelled to sinful acts, even unwillingly, as if engaged by force?”
– Bhagavad-gītā 3.36
And Then I thought I'd like to buy an app so I can read verse anytime I want. So I came across the Gita as it is app by bhaktivedanta trust and decided to purchase it. You won't believe what the happened next. THE VERSE OF THE DAY IN THE APP WAS SAME AS THE VERSE THAT OPENED UP IN THE PHYSICAL COPY OF BHAGWAT GITA.
If this is not Krishna's intervention then I don't know what is.

Hindi language explanations required

Kindly add hindi explanation’s as well. Why no Hindi language translation? Otherwise the app is flawless. Impeccable indeed.

Superb!

5 stars! Feature rich, beautiful layout app. Thought for the day feature with one verse everyday is too good. Bhagavad-gita is a book everyone should read and implement in life. And this app does a great job in presenting it very well
