This app provides resources to support your daily practice of SGI Nichiren Buddhism. First, there is a chanting calculator that allows you to set and track chanting targets (campaigns). There is also an audio guide useful as an aid in learning the daily recitation of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo and the Lotus Sutra. You can set your goals and watch your progress! There are several other useful tools such as a location finder for SGI-USA facilities and links to the new World Tribune website.
Great usefulness but
Gratitude and thanks for this very useful app, especially for new members. As a 75yyoung new member and not savvy Internet user, yesterday 3/30/24 a WD member has to spend at least one hour of her time to show me how to use the app and I owe her a great debt of gratitude. Many Treasures or Seniors new members like me can be high maintenance and many grateful thanks for the members who are including us in their practice 😍✨🪷✨🕊️☮️✌🏼✨🙏🏼💝✨
Daimoku Campaign Erased
The app is a great tool, but my active daimoku campaign for 2024 was recently erased when I updated the app. It was very disappointing.
SGI-USA App
It’s a good app. The Gongyo part has room for improvement. Here are my suggestions for page numbers and navigating without going to the beginning of Gongyo.
Please Stop Logging Me Out
It keeps logging me out especially when a timer goes off on my phone or I logged into Zoom or Clubhouse and sometimes I’m doing those things to chant remotely with others. It also just stops the timer when above activities occur so it’s a little frustrating. The app is amazing though, I appreciate it. But this little glitch keeps getting in the way of my daimoku counter so I lose track of my progress. Other than that, super amazing. Except maybe the fact that I had to take a live ID picture for my SGI USA account and I was not prepared so I look ultra dork but who’s looking.
You can access as a guest
The sign-in screen is still there, but you are now allowed to access content as a guest. The new year is off to a great start. Thank you for this!
Timer Issue
The overall app is great but the tracker needs to be addressed. I love using the timer/stopwatch feature to keep track of how much or how long I am chanting for. My frustration is when my phone turns off or goes to sleep after a while and the app refreshes and I lose my progress. It would be nice to start the timer or stopwatch and just have it keep going regardless of the status of my phone. I mean I get the battery dying and completely shutting down but when it’s still on? I will dedicate five or ten minutes of focused prayer while my screen shuts off to save battery only for me to check where I am at and the app has refreshed. What? Am I doing something wrong maybe? If I really want to start my time over I can hit the reset button. It’s so frustrating and also distracting while I chant. Please please please address this. The iphone timer/stopwatch app is awesome in this regard, anyway to incorporate some of the features?
Gongyo getting slower
The app had an updated this weekend, but Gongyo speed getting slower, I need a faster speed and now it gets even slower than before. May you please speed up the speed of Gongyo, thank you!
