✓ Would be awesomeThis app is amazing thank you!!! It would be awesome to have customizable colours and be able to delete or Daimoku counts . There could also be a tab for future division (kids) to fill a chart with the adult they practice with like pictures with circles etc.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Continuing Positive SupportI enjoy this so much. There are times in my small business when I am driving long distances and I want to feel connected to my practice and show gratitude by hearing my daimoku while driving with both hands on the steering wheel as I think of my members. It has become very reliable source of keeping a constant high life condition. When I need it most as some of the world have no hope and you can see it when you’re on the highway. By the way that they drive. The danger of being on a road or truck driver or a long-distance driver is very hazardous. I shared it with people that lived in other states who may have little or no connectivity for Internet but they do have a smart phone and can enjoy this app. I cannot express joy I feel by having this tool..Version: 3.8.2
✓ I love this app! BUT...Recently the Writings of ND will not load!! I’m so frustrated with that because I love the search feature. Is there any help for that? Here’s my previous review: I cannot even believe I have the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin searchable at my fingertips! I lost my old copy when my house burned in the Tubbs fire, the one with all the tabs and post-its marking my favorite passages. I have a new copy (thank you President Ikeda) but it’s easier to use the app, which is available anytime anyplace. I like setting campaigns and targets. So convenient to keep changing the goal dates, yeah, we can’t give up over an arbitrary date. And the quotes ready at hand, so easy to encourage myself and others. I add my thanks and applause to the other good reviews here..Version: 2.8
✓ Good for beginners and veterans.Great upgrade from chant buddy! I love that it has everything in one without extra payment. The gong is my new favorite feature personally for the just in case moments that one is not handy. I do wish there were more speed settings (faster ones) for Daimoku and gongyo but I’m very pleased with his app and it’s use as well as navigation. I would totally recommend this to new members and even those who are interested in knowing more..Version: 2.0.3
✓ WND doesn’t load.I really like the app. As a beginner, I love that I can find all the information I need in the app. I’m also able to do gongyo and chant with a timer in the app. I’m also able to set goals, which is awesome. My only complaint is that on an iPhone, the WND Study section does not load. All other sections and pages load just fine. WND never loads for me for some reason. I have the iOS 14.4 on iPhone 11..Version: 3.3
✓ Gongyo getting slowerThe app had an updated this weekend, but Gongyo speed getting slower, I need a faster speed and now it gets even slower than before. May you please speed up the speed of Gongyo, thank you!.Version: 3.9.11
✓ You can access as a guestThe sign-in screen is still there, but you are now allowed to access content as a guest. The new year is off to a great start. Thank you for this!.Version: 3.9.12
✓ Great toolGreat tool for practicing. One question When will the SGI-USA app be synchronized to your log in site, to show accurately the amount of Daimoku chanted and progressive steps towards accomplishing consecutive targets towards completing campaigns and goals across all ones devices? Thank you Roy Turner.Version: 2.8
✓ Impressive!Who knew that Soka would be so progressive! I adore the app. Since I am constantly traveling this app allows me to keep track of my Daimoku and permits me to practice anywhere as well as keep up the my study. Now I am so used to it that I wouldn’t know what to do without it. I especially love the bell effect and the clear Gongyo book. Good job SGI!!.Version: 2.8
✓ Cannot sign in with digital IDLots of wonderful links to this app but it does not allow me to sign in using my portal ID. I have removed the app and re-installed, doesn’t help. The user name and password links disappear. This requires me to show ID when I enter a culture center and sign in. I am using an iPhone SE..Version: 3.8.2
✓ Great app, but prefer previous lookingIt’s a great app for recording your chanting time and keeping motivated yourself. But I prefer previous looking (simple, looks golden, easy to jump graph to campaign/goals, to back to stopwatch). Unfortunately, all my data (chanting count, campaign, and goals) are all gone when I updated new version..Version: 2.0
✓ Things have changedI have use this app, and loved this app, for years. But recently, we stopped being able to scroll back through recent daily messages. I used to hit “study” & could scroll back through to share with others. Sadly, “study” no longer does this. You would need to take a daily screenshot to accomplish this. I barely use it anymore. I think the other features are still operating..Version: 3.8.2
✓ Please Stop Logging Me OutIt keeps logging me out especially when a timer goes off on my phone or I logged into Zoom or Clubhouse and sometimes I’m doing those things to chant remotely with others. It also just stops the timer when above activities occur so it’s a little frustrating. The app is amazing though, I appreciate it. But this little glitch keeps getting in the way of my daimoku counter so I lose track of my progress. Other than that, super amazing. Except maybe the fact that I had to take a live ID picture for my SGI USA account and I was not prepared so I look ultra dork but who’s looking..Version: 3.9.13
✓ Upgrade erased years of dataI would love to say that I love this app, but I just updated it and it erased years worth of campaigns and goals! I’m sad that I can’t look at it anymore—I like to see my progress over the years, and look at what I used to chant for, vs now. Seeing the data gave me insights. Now it’s gone. Don’t know if I’ll be updating again!.Version: 3.9.8
✓ Can’t use the connect part, just spins!I can’t use the connect part on my iPad. Also, chanting speed is way too slow and I can’t change the speed. On my samsung phone, the connect works, but Ikeda Sensei’s daily encouragement is blank. Thank you if you can please fix these issues!.Version: 2.8
✓ Very useful!Daisaku Ikeda (President of Soka Gakkai International (SGI)) is one of several leaders for peace. President Ikeda has publish several books and so there for has no need to ask for money. Any money that is donated is donated to the SGI centers. This app is to assist everyone on their paths to for buddhahood. There are SGI centers all over the world for anyone who is not familiar with Nichiren Buddhism that may have questions or concerns of the Buddhist practice. Nichiren Buddhism did start out in Japan in the late 1200's, and has since reached out to multiple countries around the world. That being said, there is no secret agenda for the Japanese government. And no one is trying to control anyone hypnotism or anything like that. This app is very useful for me personally as a guide to help me with my practice. Especially with having access to Living Buddhism, news letters, experiences, and much more without being restricted to just the website, magazines and such..Version: 1.2
✓ Just one problem...It's so amazing that we have this great, accessible app, thank you! My only issue is that if I'm reading the WT in the app, and I want to share the article via text, it will only let me share the viewable page as if it were just a screenshot. I'd like to be able to share the entire article..Version: 2.1.1
✓ UpdateThe new updates are great and the only feedback I have to offer is that the chant screen defaults to timer and I would like to be able to set it to stopwatch. Also, it would be nice to be able to adjust the speed of Gongyo..Version: 3.9
✓ Love the app.I would first like to start off bye saying Thank you so much for this app. I feel so fortunate to have all things sgi ant my fingertip and use the app constantly. However, I would like to respectfully make some suggestions. 1) I wish there was a way to stay logged in and not need to enter password every time. 2) also if we could stay logged in I also would suggest the member ID to be the default home screen. We are trying to use the ID verification at the toban desk at the community center and MANY members are having a hard time accessing their ID especially out Many Treasures members. 3) daimoku and gongyo are kind of slow for me. I see the need for slower settings, but faster options would be awesome!!! I would like to chant with the app in the car but it’s much too slow for me. Again, I’m not complaining and I am soooo appreciative for the app. Just my humble suggestion..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Amazing!! How more not know about this?I just discovered this app that is very useful in keeping up with my daimoku as well as every day study. I can’t believe no one within any study that i know has talked about this!.Version: 2.0.3
✓ ID App and StudyI am amazed and delighted at the ease to access once you get the initial information updated. I remember the 1960’s when in Okinawa Mercy Hombu set up membership cards with Kodak then Polaroid pictures. Study meeting of topics like Ichinensanzen and movies of SGI peace festivals and experiences and ending with songs and daimoku.Version: 2.3
✓ TMF Icon Fixed quicklyThank you for fixing the TMF To My Friends Icon. After previously noting earlier today that the TMF encouragement was stuck on Aug 23, 2022, I checked the phone App this evening, clicked on the icon and today's TMF encouragement appeared. Thank you☮️.Version: 3.9
✓ Everything you need in one place!This app is everything you need for your SGI nichiren Buddhism practice. I especially love the chanting targets feature, which is helping me increase my daily daimoku by teaching my progress. Also, there is chanting audio which really helps keep me going when I'm struggling to chant alone!.Version: 2.7
✓ Useful appIn the past I have used another app to keep track of daimoku and I like this one best because I can access the publications. I also like the ease of manually increasing daimoku since I don't always chant with the app running. I don't like how the user can't have more than one campaign going at a time. I find that unnecessarily restrictive. Yes, I know that you can keep track of many goals, but my goals are not all related to the same campaign..Version: 1.2
✓ Latest version cleared Campaign, Goals and Daimoku countNot sure if it was intentional or not, however the latest update to the application wiped all previous campaign, goals and daimoku count. It’s definitely a great application, just a tad disappointed that all the previous information was wiped..Version: 2.0
✓ Thank You So Much!I've used many third-party apps over the years to keep track of my daimoku. Early on, some sadly included images of the gohonzon. That's why I'm so grateful for the Gakkai to've released an official app. The fact that it also includes access to my World Tribune/ Living Buddhism e-subscription without needing to use another app is gravy! The app is really very well done. My suggestions for feature additions would be: 1. Utilizing iCloud syncing to keep data in sync across Apple devices and 2. Integrating with Apple Health Kit so that daimoku counts as Mindfulness data..Version: 1.2
✓ Inspiring & encouragementThrough using this app I have developed a much deeper stronger practise and really connect with the Gohonzon. I love the daily messages. The Diamoku counter is superb. It’s also really easy to share with others as an introduction to Nichren Buddhism. Thank to the people who created it!.Version: 2.8
✓ HiI like the app! But my 6 month campaign is ending up short by by @ 100k daimoku on March 16th , it seems like a glitch in the counter , I have 21 days to go and the app tells me to chant 850 per day at this point , but I’m 125k short for the campaign goal. Thanks for working on this , it could be an oversight on my perception but it might be the math programmed in the app at fault. Cheers :).Version: 2.1.1
✓ AMAZING!!I have been using this app since it came out mostly for daily guidance, to track goals associated with chanting & for Gongyo, especially at times in isolation from in person activities. I absolutely love this app & am so proud sharing it with members & guests. I recently found the ability to update chanting time per day... So grateful!! Because of the distraction having my phone close to me was at times, I didn’t always use the app to track Daimoku which left me not really feeling the benefit of connecting my Daimoku to my goals. Now with the ability to update any day with the amount of time chanted, I am confident that I will be able to share my experiences with more clarity relating to Daimoku than before. Thank you to the amazing technology team for creating & enhancing this app!.Version: 2.8
✓ Offline ModeThis App is great! However, would benefit if it could be used without data/WiFi. As not every part of the world has these attributes which most rely on today. When travelling I had some difficulty trying to access the chanting features due to not have any data or access to WiFi. I hope my recommendation is considered when the next update takes place..Version: 2.3
✓ I find the app very useful!I love the app but wonder why there cannot be a faster daimoku option. I like to chant a little faster - like 60 daimoku per minute. I also really appreciate being able to chant with this recording. So I am wondering if you could increase the options for speed. Thank you!!!!.Version: 2.0
✓ Thank youThank you so much for this highly accessible and well designed App Perfect !.Version: 1.2
✓ ExcellentThank you.Version: 2.0
✓ Great app Needs some workReally great app with a lot of info right at our fingertips — just having trouble maneuvering between pages. Please add back buttons and search buttons to help find things easier..Version: 3.8.2
✓ WT share feature doesn’t quite workWhen you tap the share button to share an article, it only shares the screen shot of the article you’re reading. Can this be fixed so that we can send a link to the article instead?.Version: 3.8.2
