Bhaktivedanta Vedabase for iPhone

Quick snapshot of the app

Bhaktivedanta Vedabase for iPhone brings the same corpus of texts that appear in the desktop Bhaktivedanta Vedabase into a mobile format. It is a compact library app designed for reading and searching the complete set of included publications.

Download and storage considerations

The downloadable package is fairly large — in excess of 400 MB — so expect a longer download time than smaller apps. For a smoother installation, connect to a reliable Wi‑Fi network and ensure you have enough free space on your device before starting the download.

Key capabilities

• Powerful full-text searching that returns contextual excerpts for words and phrases, making it easier to locate passages quickly.
• Built-in reading tools and display options for an on-device reading experience.
• An intuitive browsing system to explore the collection of books and related publications included with the app.
