📝 About this app
This app is meant to allow the user to read Pali Buddhist texts with side-by-side English translations, including the four main nikayas and the Dhp and Jataka commentaries as well as the Visuddhimagga.
The app is useless by itself. In order to be useful, it requires an archive of Pali and English texts placed on your SD card. An example of such an archive is here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kmgzaqkth6vxf40/BuddhistTexts.zip
Peace :)
