Masha Allah. Best app to understand Quran in Malayalam. 
May Allah reward you for all the efforts in developing and maintaining it. 
Few suggestions for future enhancements,
1. It would be better if you can provide an additional option to just read the Quran without the meaning.
2. Some people are interested to hear the recitation. Please try to integrate at least one of the famous Quran recitation.
