## Description

Sundar Gutka (Damdami Taksal) is a Gurbani reading app that compiles prayers from the Damdami Taksal Sundar Gutka, Nitnem Gutka, and more. Bani is reviewed by scholars of the Taksal and the app is optimized for iPhone and iPad.

It supports background color changes, quick indexing, custom bookmarking, full-screen mode, and the ability to rearrange bani for a personalized reading experience. Content from Khalsa Sundar Gutka and Hazuri Das Granthi sources is included. Note: the app contains Dasam Bani and carries a warning for sensitive content.

## Review summary

Overall, Sundar Gutka for iOS is a strong, feature-rich Nitnem app praised for its breadth of content and flexible reading experience. Users applaud the customization (larivaar, color-coding, fonts, dark mode) and the comprehensive collection (Sampooran DT, Buddha Dal, Dasam Bani). However, the top recurring issues are iOS compatibility with newer OS versions, requiring ongoing updates, and frequent requests for more bani content and Android-like features (Meri List, additional banis, Sehaj Paath enhancements).

### Pros

- Rich Gurbani reading customization (larivaar display, color-coded text, font/style/background options, pauses, dark mode) for a comfortable, personalized reading experience.
- Comprehensive content coverage, including Sampooran DamDami Taksal Nitnem, Buddha Dal Nitnem, and Dasam Bani.
- Long-standing, well-regarded app used by families with positive overall quality and reliability.
- High-quality UI/UX with Vishraams and clear presentation.

### Cons

- iOS compatibility issues: app breaking or requiring updates after newer iOS versions (e.g., iOS 15.x).
- Content expansion requests: frequent calls for more bani (Bhai Gurdas Vaars, Bhai Nand Lal bani, Dasam Granth items) and Android-like features (Meri List, Sehaj Paath enhancements).
