Love the app. Its refreshing to see effort being taken to make such an important text accessible for users who do not have a strong hold over the language. The supporting tools provided in the app were exactly what I needed to help me go through the text. Noticed a bug while trying to share a kagga (just failed to do so), thought I'll let you guys know. Also I extensively use google translate while going through the individual kagga to get the pronunciation right. Just a thought incase you guys want to consider having the feature inbuilt to the app.

Thank you , I will look in to the bug. I have plans to include audio clips of kagga vachana. That might be interest to you.

Exceptionally created app! It has each kagga and it's meaning, along with its transliteration as well as english translation. The app is user friendly, in terms of being able to search ones with relevant words or being able to share them. Kudos to the creators, great job!! I hope this app reaches more people of other languages too, and everyone can appreciate the essence and beauty of Mankutimmana Kagga, in our Kannada!

Every person who understands Kannada must have this. In simple yet striking concepts DVG's kagga hits you like a arrow straight into the heart. My utmost respects and best wishes to the person who developed this app. Seems like developer has taken kagga's theme seriously that he made it simple and elegant. It has option to select as favourite so that I can read reread and enjoy again. Meanings are included both in Kannada and English. UI is clean and neat. Thank you!
