Common questions

These are the questions an app like this raises. If yours is not here, just write to me — the address is at the bottom.

## Does the app really work without an internet connection?

Entirely. The prayer text, the translations, the dictionary, the sounds and the articles are all bundled with the app; it makes no network request at all. It works the same in the temple basement as it does on a plane. The one exception is the two links under _About & licenses_: they lead to this website — and then Safari opens the page, not the app.

## Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-in, no registration, no password — and no server where anything of yours could sit. You install the app and read.

## Where do my saved words and my progress live?

On your iPhone, and nowhere else. Saved words, your review progress and your settings are never transmitted. If you back your device up as usual through iCloud or a Mac, they are part of that backup; that is your choice in the iOS settings. The [privacy policy](https://kinhmo.com/en/privacy/) spells it out.

## How do I get rid of saved words again?

One at a time: every row in the vocabulary list has a bin icon on the right, and a short confirmation prevents an accidental tap. Your progress in Review stays as it is — its tasks come from the book, not from this list.

All at once: delete the app from your iPhone. That removes everything it saved — there is nothing anywhere else. There is deliberately no single button that resets everything: in an app you pick up between two lines, it would be more dangerous than useful.

## What languages does the app come in?

The interface is available in German, English and Vietnamese (Southern). On first launch it follows your device language; you can change it under _Settings → Interface language_. That affects the interface only: the prayer text always stays Vietnamese. This website is in German, English and Vietnamese.

## Why is the prayer text in Vietnamese — and what are the tracks for?

Because this is the text that is read. The app reproduces one particular book, page by page, and the original stays untouched — only where a line carries a misprint does it stand corrected, with the note for that page saying what the book has. Everything else settles on top of it: a German and an English translation and a simplified pronunciation. You switch on what you need and switch it off again; the tracks sit under the original passage by passage. If you want to follow along and recite without knowing Vietnamese, that is exactly who this is for. There is more under [Reading and tracks](https://kinhmo.com/en/reading/).

## Do I have to drill vocabulary every day?

No. Review is small and finite: a few words and lines from the book, by tapping and matching. The round ends — no streak, no counter nagging at you.

## What does the app cost?

Nothing. No purchases, no subscription, no advertising. It is a personal, non-commercial project, and it stays that way.

## Is there an Android version?

Not yet. It is built so that an Android version is possible, but only the iPhone version has been released so far. If you need one, write to me — it helps to know somebody is waiting.

## I found a mistake in the text.

Then please write to me, with the page number and the line. Misprints in the book are not carried over silently: they are corrected and explained in a note on that page. Mistakes in a translation or a meaning get corrected too. Where the translations come from and how they are checked is on [Sources and verification](https://kinhmo.com/en/sources/).
