Ratings and reviews

Frankly, this is an astounding app. Having contained Quran, Hadith, and so many religious books such as Nahjul-Balaghah, anyone can access them offline. However, it has a downside that makes it a bit frustrating. Specifically, it just notifies us about prayer times, but the Adhan sound itself doesn't get played, which poses an impediment to knowing the Adhan time, especially in the Fajr. With that in mind, I was hoping that if the developers could look into this issue as soon as possible!

This app is really amazing and I especially like the Qur'an and Hadith modules. I was looking for and hoping to find some English translations of the Shia hadith and I found it in this app. The interface is also beautiful. This app is an absolute joy to use. Highly recommended. My thanks to the developers for all their hard work. Very much appreciated

Great app! One thing I don't see very practical is the addition of the four books subsection in the hadith section of the app as it displays only two books al kafi and al faqih (even though I believe tahdib al Askam was recently added but developers have not included it in the subsection) it would be more complete once all the 4 books are in the app. Thank you for this application!
