I'm trying to register an application but after clicking Create Your Application, it just redirects me to the same page. I'm Registered and Email is verified

Hi,
I am a user of the app. First, thanks for the great app, all the features are awesome.
I would like to report a few bugs, which if fixed would be a great help.

I find that the progress immediately on completing a reading plan shows as 0% though the progress circle shows 100%.

1. There is currently no way to reset this back to unread.
2. There is no way to restart a reading plan after it has been completed. For example, if I complete the 30 day plan, it shows a tick mark, but no button to start again.

Thanks again.

Hello!

How about adding color to the words of Lord Krishna... as the bible adds red color to the words of Jesus? This will make the words of Lord Krishna easily identifiable.

Thanks!
