Beautifully Crafted. The explanations are precise. Just one suggestion. When I browse to a specific adhigaaram and press back key it should ideally take me to the prev page and not show exit confirmation. Like When I browse to a specific adhigaaram via Paal - Iyal - Adhigaaram and press back key it should ideally take me to the prev page and not ask if I want to exit the app. Please fix this. Anyways this app deserves a 5 star just for this initiative.

Thought Tiruvalluvar gave his work as open source! Appreciate the effort that went into the neat design. Solomon papaya's explanation makes it better. Hope he is attributed here. His explanation should have been first or at least personalized by my clicks.

Of explanation (half only visible)

P70%
by P####:

Explanation text is not fully visible..would be grateful if we get below features in future updates. 1. Push notification for daily Kural 2. Option to choose default meaning author, for example choosing Kalignar and setting as default so that I can avoid choosing his name for every kural.
