Pros and cons of Bhaktivedanta Vedabase app for iPhone and iPad

Bhaktivedanta Vedabase app good for

Finally the complete Vedabase is available for the iOS platform with full search function. Congratulations!
Most powerful and professional tool for Krishna devotees and preachers! I use it nearly every day! Worth its price.
The last update doesnt work on ipod 4. Prabhu, please fix. Thank you very much for your work!

Some bad moments

It is quite amazing to have such a resource at your finger tips. Pretty much every feature of the Vedabase PC software is on this app. I am excited that it has Devanagari, which is rarely found in any of the Kṛṣṇa Conscious ebooks. Also the diacritics are in Unicode and thus the text can be pasted without diacritic Sanskrit converter. Remember that this huge library includes the books of Śivarāma Swami and many Śrīla Prabhupāda biographies as well. There are some minor bugs that I am waiting to fixed. They mention these in their description and which can be partially fixed by changing the settings. I am also wondering if the 2014 update will be included soon. Ps. This app also includes all the audio files of the original Vedabase software.
Do not use this update! The new update has practically made the app useless. Wait for the developers to correct the numerous problems.
Please fix. In this new update you cannot copy and paste, highlights are messed up, views are unstable, when leave program it doesnt remember where you were, to mention a few... Needs a complete overhaul.
Vedabase is the most valuable treasure. It has everything one can ever need to understand spiritual life and be Krishna concious. Many thanks to BBT, Gopal Priya Prabhu and team for making vedabase available on AppStore. Since I got ipad, I hardly use laptop, so I was so delighted to see Bhaktivedanta Vedabase make its appearance on AppStore. And I dont need Internet to use it Hare Krishna!
This is an excellently designed app to have the entire ISKCON corpus in ones pocket. I just hope to receive app updates of new literatures as they get added to the latest versions of the software. Keep up the good service.
