Downgraded! Gurbani app has been working well for many years but last few years Gurmukhi fonts are not working well. When writing in Gurmukhi, app creates unwanted spaces. Have tried by turning off internet as sugested by editor Surinderpal Singh. Nothing changes. When accessing Hukamnamahs, app defaults to Orange color screen with some notifications but these are disfunctional. I never had any issue when I was using Android and Samsung phones. I am experiencing these idsues with Pixcel phone.

This app is using high background data consumption even when mot in use ,, i think the developer is snatching personal data...This is a good app but i found a trojan in this app,, Trojan is used for unauthorized access in your phone like data photos videos,,, heyy developers kindly fix it dont play with other's data, in one side you are doing good work by providing gurbani on othwr hand you are using trojans this is so bad
