This translation is the same translation found in Desikachar's 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 Desikachar's daughter. If you like the book, you will love the portable app!
Very Helpful App
Miss Echo
I find this to be very useful. A suggestion for updating: make it so that the bookmarked sutras can play one after the other, sequentially. In my current version there is just a "play all" function.In any regard I am enjoying it!
Needs Update

Adding to my review, the text in my version is now garbled- all the letter with Sanskrit diacritics are now all capitals. Difficult to read unless you know what the word is already. Still 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 that's 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 you're just learning. Overall accuracy check of the app needed by developers- for example, I've found when you try to replay 1.26 simplified the app plays beginning chap 2.
Very good app .... Could be improved

I downloaded all the Patangali Yog Sutra apps that were available. I wish I can pull the best features from all those to make the best app. This one has the best recital of sutras. The user interface where the devnagari text is shown could be better and readable. Also it will be good if the sutra essence could fit on the same screen. And the most desirable feature would be to play the sutra as soon as I forward to the next sutra. Now I have to forward and play to listen the sutra. Still I am enjoying this app just for the recital of the sutras.
First release for iOS. All 195 sutras with Devanagari, transliteration, Desikachar's translation & commentary, and chanting by Mekhala Desikachar. Offline, ad-free.
