I’m not sure why that is but that would help immensely in learning all the many sounds of every letter especially the ones that are similar to each other! Please fix this one feature so I can give you a 5 star rating!! ### 3/5 — NO SOUND *2026-04-29* The App is so Useful but hard to learn without hearing the Right pronounciation ### 3/5 — Pas ouf *2026-04-28* Il n’y a meme pas de son, c’est vrai que ça commence bien quoi 🫥 ### 2/5 — How do I do this? *2023-08-09, version 1.1.6* How do I sign up because for me it’s only giving me sign in? ### 4/5 — offline usage *2023-07-22, version 1.1.6* awesome app but doesn’t work offline? ### 3/5 — Bon application *2023-03-26* L’application est génial pour apprendre, mais il y a pas de son, c’est dommage. ### 4/5 — Beautiful Interface *2023-03-22, version 1.1.6* Great little app, super helpful alongside another to help teach you the letter shapes in all positions. Wish there was more but grateful for the 3 chapters! ### 3/5 — Une très bonne appli *2022-08-23* Dommage que je reste bloqué à un niveau 3. Impossible de passer a un niveau 4 ### 3/5 — Helpful, but.. *2022-08-21, version 1.1.6* Most of my sections are locked and idk how to unlock them? ### 3/5 — Please help *2022-06-27, version 1.1.6* I cannot access page 4 onwards i do not know why even after completing page 3 multiple times i still couldn’t get access to page 4 onwards ### 3/5 — Unlock the remainder letters *2022-04-19, version 1.1.6* I love this app because it’s what I was looking for to polish up on my vowels so I can be familiar with them and test each one, but it only unlocked up to 9.. incomplete student here. ### 3/5 — Good idea, not finished *2022-01-14, version 1.1.6* I like the idea of this app, but firstly the sound keeps stopping (I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it worked but the next day it was not working again) It also says the wrong sound on occasion which doesn't help when learning a language. And it stops after level 3 which you could easily complete in an hour! ### 4/5 — There is only 3 chapters? *2021-11-07, version 1.1.6* I learned arabic through this app and completed all three chapters in 1 hour I’m not sure if it’s still in development or what but I’d like to continue. I learned a lot very quickly app is great that’s why I rated it 4 stars but not 5 because it only has 3 chapters. If there is a problem that I don’t know on my end I would like to know asap to continue my learning and education. ### 5/5 — Good app but *2021-09-27, version 1.1.6* I am stuck on chapter two lesson 4 and even after I got next, it doesn’t unlock the next lesson for me. ### 4/5 — Chapters *2021-07-28, version 1.1.6* I finished all the chapters and I believe there’s only 3? I already knew the letters/basics but this app helped to visualize the letters in words!! I just wish it covered the entire Arabic alphabet. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pas de son ! *2026-08-07* Pas de son ### 1/5 — Used to love it *2024-05-17* For long time now I have‘t been able to sign in.
