Patanjali's Yoga Sutra App Reviews

Very choppy. Playbacks skips and has lag time...very distracting. I tried reloading but now it is just worse.

Excellent chanting by Mekhala Desikachar. Good to have both classical and simplified. A few changes would make it a more effective tool. Currently you cannot pause and go back part way to hear a certain section - important if there is one section of a sutra thats tough for you and needs repetition. Also the longer I use the app the more pauses and skips there are-this can throw you off if youre just learning. Overall accuracy check of the app needed by developers- for example, Ive found when you try to replay 1.26 simplified the app plays beginning chap 2.

Allowing the user to repeat any Sutra as many times as it takes is essential to learning it. This app is wonderful. The chanting is beautiful, and is perfectly formatted if one merely wants to listen to the Sutras. But one who wants to learn to chant the Sutras cant advance or replay individual Sutras without advancing or replaying the entire chapter. Please look into modifying this. It would take this app from wonderful to above and beyond. Many thanks.

The writen content is excelent but many pages appear cropped in a way that you cant read the full sutra.

For those who want to Listen and stur the Yogasutra

Its very good. I enjoy it very much. Would have love to have more details of translation though. Thank you.

Would love to have a repeat mode option for individual sutras. Similar to how a song repeats. Excellent pronunciation. Clear. Easy to navigate. Repeat mode for each chapter is nice for learning. Would be helpful to be able to repeat broken down even further. Or sell as an album not an app. So each sutra (song) can be repeated.

Enjoy the app but could be more complete with more description for each sutras. Very clear and easy to follow

Simple translation, commentary but full of depth. Easy interface. The sound works better than I had expected. I love to have this text handy.

This contents is very helpful for those who learn yoga so the sounds and meanings are correct and easy to understand. I listen to this almost every day.

Absolutely the best App on Patanjalis Yoga Sutra!!!

Simple to use, clear translations. A must have for any yogi!

This is a great app for those of us who are teaching and taking yoga classes away from home. I especially like being able to hear the sutras chanted correctly.

Absolutely must have for yoga practitioners. The translation is one Ive studied for years. Each time I reread a sutra, so much more is revealed. My only feedback (without these I still give it a 4.99 hoping a future update will include these features): -Wish they had a way to mark your favorite sutras -No way to mark where you left off. Have to remember or start from beginning. -wish there was audio of the translation as well so I could listen to all of it!

This is a truly lovely app idea. So good to have the content and chanting based on an authentic tradition. The app could be even better with; the ability to Copy sections you may wish to save into your notes, email or text apps, also a word by word translation is a must at this price to be competitive with one of the other sutra apps that does this. As others have said, the ability to bookmark and have the app remember where you left off in study would be very helpful. Otherwise this is a very good basis for a recently released app I will gladly give five stars with the above features/updates added.

So portable and accessible. I am confident that over time they will make this even better than it is!!! (Missing some if the yoga sutras), would be even better if we could bookmark favorites. Thank you for the efforts!!!

Very helpful!

Awesome resource while going through yoga teacher training! Def recommend.

This translation is the same translation found in Desikachars book "Heart of Yoga". The English translation as well as the commentary is the same, with the added bonus of being able to hear the Sanskrit chanted by Desikachars daughter. If you like the book, you will love the portable app!

The app itself is great, however the nagging reminder to rate it is annoying at best and makes me hesitant to recommend it.
