Guru Granth Sahib is the religious scripture of Sikhism, regarded by Sikhs as the final, sovereign, and eternal living Guru following the lineage of the ten human Gurus of the Sikh religion. Adi Granth, the first rendition, was compiled by the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan. Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, added one salok, dohra mahala 9 ang, 1429 and all 115 hymns of Guru Tegh Bahadur. This second rendition came to be known as Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
The text consists of 1430 angs (pages) and 6,000 shabads (line compositions), which are poetically rendered and set to a rhythmic ancient north Indian classical form of music. The bulk of the scripture is divided into thirty-one ragas, with each Granth raga subdivided according to length and author. The hymns in the scripture are arranged primarily by the ragas in which they are read. The Guru Granth Sahib is written in the Gurmukhi script, in various languages, including Lahnda (Western Punjabi), Braj Bhasha, Khariboli, Sanskrit, Sindhi, and Persian. Copies in these languages often have the generic title of Sant Bhasha.
Guru Granth Sahib was composed by seven Sikh Gurus: Guru Nanak Dev, Guru Angad Dev, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, Guru Arjan Dev, Guru Hargobind and Guru Tegh Bahadur. Guru Gobind Singh added 1 sloakh in mahala 9 Ang 1429. It also contains the traditions and teachings of Indian sants (saints), such as Ravidas, Ramananda, Kabir and Namdev among others, and two Muslim Sufi saints Bhagat Bhikan and Sheikh Farid.
The vision in the Guru Granth Sahib is of a society based on divine justice without oppression of any kind.
It's wonderful that you find the app so useful for reciting Paath Sahib while on the go. It's completely understandable that the ads are a distraction, especially when trying to concentrate on such a sacred text as the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Many users feel the same way. A paid, ad-free version would likely be very popular, and it's a great suggestion to the app developers. Hopefully, you will consider this and offer such an option in the future, as many, including myself, would gladly pay for a more focused and peaceful experience.

This is a great app to download on your phone or iPad. Recently I had knee surgery and was unable to sit on the floor and read from my Guru Granth. This was so convenient to do my Path using my iPad. I just wish this had an expanded search function where you could search a Shabad by first few letters of the shabad rather than just by page numbers. Thank you for your great service to people who like to do Path and are sometimes away from home or unable to sit on the floor. So convenient. Thank you very much. SSA

This is an amazing app. Simple to use keeps your progress intact. So a person can continue to read SGGS ji. The only problem since I have updated the last two times is the lag time it takes to change the page or scroll down. That is the real bummer specially for aged people in my family. It would be great if you could address that glitch. I have downloaded other apps but nothing has come close to this one. Unfortunately we are not using it right now for the above mentioned reason

Love this app. My punjabi is not so so good but with English I am able to read difficult word. If in future you decide to make any change to the app then I would say may be add a feature (optional) where the reader can take the help of the app to read a word. It will allow the reader to complete a shudh bani.Overall I love the app and very thankful to those who compiled this app and allowed someone like me to be confident and read bani on my phone.
