1.2.3 TODAY REFRESHES ON YOUR SCHEDULE The Tuk of the Day, Word of the Day, Quote of the Day, and the day's Kirtan shabad and Sakhi now turn over on the interval you choose in Settings, without closing and reopening Pothi. GURBANI CORRECTIONS Spelling and pause-mark (danda) corrections from the content authority to Jaap Sahib, Tav Prasad Savaiye, Benti Chaupai and Rehras Sahib (T.). Rehras Sahib (T.) now includes four stanzas that were being skipped. SANTHIA Previous tuk and Next tuk carry the gold chevrons. A new switch hides the pad ched on each tuk, so you can practise reading the joined line and reveal the split when you want it. PROJECTOR The wall's own address now shows a QR code and a printable sheet, so the sangat can open the read-along page on their own phones. The on-screen controls are clearer, and the address and the code on the share sheet are drawn so they read on every theme. HUKAMNAMA WIDGET The large home-screen widget starts at the top and turns pages, so a long Hukamnama can be read in full.
