Ratings and reviews

The application is so good. What impressed is that despite all the visuals used in the application, the application was not slow or heavy. Also, I liked the content keep working on it. The voice over, the songs, and the narration was so good. Also the User interface. I feel the application is good for non-arabic speaking kids to use with the supervision of an arabic speaking adult. Maybe you can promote it for KG and primary arabic teachers. Good luck.

Im honestly annoyed.So you make an app for non-Arabic speakers,but then when the non-Arabic speaker downloads and opens it the first thing they see is an all Arabic sign up form without any possible way to read. So how tf are ppl supposed to get into the app if they can't read Arabic?Gonna need my Egyptian husband to sign up on it for me cuz ive clicked on everything and i have no clue whats going on.the sign up needs to have different language options otherwise its useless

Thank you for the initiative! I like the application, it's very helpful and educational! Actually, I'm using Nahdet Misr's books ( الاضواء) for teaching kids arabic over here! Such a great idea! شكرا علي المبادره التطبيق حقيقي جيده جدا. انا عندي كتب الاضواء من مطابع نهضه مصر بستخدمها لتعليم الأطفال عربي هنا! اشكركم علي الفكره و دعم اطفال الخارج.
