About this app

Samaa is a calm, focused player for lectures, duroos and audiobooks.

Most players treat a forty-lesson sharh like a music album. Samaa treats it like a course of study: every lesson has its own progress and a check when it's done, so you can return to a series months later and know exactly where you stopped.

What’s new

• Arabic lesson titles from older files now show correctly instead of strange characters
• Status videos: the Samaa card and QR code are no longer hidden behind WhatsApp's caption
• Audio clips: WhatsApp shows no text with audio, so your note and the Samaa link are copied for you to paste, and the share screen now says so
