Ratings and reviews

I used to love this app for years but the update is terrible. The eloquence of the English translations has vanished and been replaced by stilted language which no longer touches the soul in the same way. Very disappointed please bring back the old version.

The latest update has made location sharing mandatory, unlike the earlier versions. Uninstalling the app as all its contents are available both on other similar apps and on internet too. So thanks.

Alhamdulilah the updated version is great. Overall it is an extremely useful app. Is it possible to add adhan to the app? Please consider it. Also, the previous version had transliteration of Quran. The new version doesn't seem to have it. For those who cannot read Arabic, please consider integrating it back in the app. Jazakallah. September 14, 2022 Please check transliteration of Sura Al-Kahf (Sura 18). The transliteration does not match Arabic text for every verse in this Sura. Jazakallah.
