The app is the complete text of the Bhagavad Gita as told by Igor Romanyuga, together with its narration: an introduction and eighteen chapters, about sixteen hours of listening. Two editions — Russian and English.

How do I move from reading to listening and back?
In the reader, tap the headphones at the top — the recording starts from where you stopped reading. In the player, "Read from here" opens the text where the voice is right now. The app remembers both places separately.
Why is a word highlighted in the text?
While the recording plays, the app marks the word being spoken so your eyes never lose their place. Pause the recording and open the text, and the highlight stays on the last word.
Where does the narration come from, and do I need the internet?
The app itself is small — about 17 MB. The narration is hosted by Apple and downloads on first launch, in parts: the introduction first, playable right away, then the other chapters. Download progress fills the "Listen" button. What has been downloaded stays on your device, and after that you need no connection for either the text or the sound. The whole recording is best downloaded over Wi-Fi: about 350 MB in English and 500 MB in Russian.
How do I switch the language of the book?
On the first screen, top left, tap the RU/EN circle. The whole app changes at once: the text, the chapter titles, the labels and the narration. The recording for the second language downloads by itself the first time you switch. Your place in the text is shared by both editions; your place in the recording is kept for each one.
Can I listen faster?
Yes. In the player, below the controls, tap "1×" to switch to one and a half times the speed and back. The choice is remembered.
How do I change the type size or turn on the dark theme?
In the reader, top right, there are two buttons: "AA" changes the type size, the round one switches between the light and dark themes. The theme switch is on the first screen too.
Does the sound keep playing when the screen is off?
Yes. Playback continues in the background, and you can control it from the Lock Screen and with the buttons on your headphones.
Who narrated the book?
The text is narrated by speech synthesis. The voice is synthetic and does not belong to any person.
Will the app keep my place if I close it?
Yes — separately for reading and for listening. Both bookmarks are on the first screen, and you can return to either.
