### 5/5 — 💚

*2025-09-27, version 2.8.4*

App is good, sometimes it’s hard to understand what he is saying maybe it will be good idea to write it as a flash when he says something. So anyone can see how it’s written as well..

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-08-18, version 2.8.4*

It’s a very good and helpful app and I’m so happy that someone made a great app that teaches Arabic from a fun way without getting money. I’m from Iran and my English is not very good and I’m trying to learn both of these languages so excuse me if the grammar of my sentences are wrong. I love this app but if you want to ameliorate it I have a recommendation :I want to know what’s the difference of Arabic in Saudi Arabia and in Iraq or why sometimes the pronunciations are different for example we learned at school that “man “ in Arabic is “رَجُل “ but you say that it is “ رِجّال “ .  I also think that if you write the translation of the words in English it would be better . You wrote them before starting each lesson but you didn’t wrote them in lessons that we purchase them with golden dates. 
Thank you for this amazing app .

### 5/5 — Great app to learn Saudi Arabic intuitively.

*2025-08-15, version 2.8.4*

I am really enjoying using the app to reinforce material I am learning in class. Arabic language finally makes sense whereas before when I used various apps, the plethora of Arabic dialects were hard to follow and I didn’t naturally acquire the language at all…and I really did try! Thank you Arabius for simplifying the language learning process and making it really fun :)

### 5/5 — Perfect for beginners and intermediate learners

*2025-07-24, version 2.8.4*

I’ve tried several Arabic learning apps—and Arabius is by far one of the most intuitive, engaging, and well-designed platforms out there. The lessons are practical, clearly structured, and focus on the Saudi dialect, which is a huge plus. I especially appreciate how the app breaks down grammar and pronunciation in a way that feels natural, not overwhelming.

### 5/5 — Love this app!!

*2025-06-25, version 2.8.4*

It’s a wonderful app for vocabulary I must say, I have been struggling with vocabulary because I was facing shortage in resources .Personally I love this app.

### 5/5 — Really great so far

*2025-05-24, version 2.8.4*

Very well made app. Intelligent and fun. Please create widgets! That would be amazing, thanks.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-05-20, version 2.8.4*

So great to have a dialect based Arabic app. Having already taken Quranic Arabic in the past, I find myself learning a lot pretty quickly. I like how you can skip some of the lessons. Really enjoying it so far. Great work to the Devs!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-05-07, version 2.8.4*

I want to start off by saying you should have somewhat of a background in Arabic or this could be more difficult. That being said this app has been amazing for me going from Modern Standard to learning Najdi for work. Love this app. زين جدا

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2025-03-29*

I am really enjoying the app my only issue is sometimes I can’t reach the continue button for the next lesson at times

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2024-12-13, version 2.8.4*

Very good and fun. It’s easy and enjoyable for all.

### 5/5 — Best app for Saudi arabic

*2024-10-17, version 2.8.4*

Incredible resource for learning Saudi dialect, one of the only apps that teaches this dialect and it’s completely free to use!

### 5/5 — absolutely wonder app

*2024-10-12, version 2.8.4*

I was a bit anxious that this app would teach a few basic words before proceeding to ask for money and subscriptions. This was not the case at all! I am on my third day of using this app, and I have learned so much already in a very fun and interactive way. This app goes above and beyond as you also learn about different parts of Saudi Arabia and the diversity of the country. Your speaking skills will grow/improve tremendously as long as you repeat everything out loud. 

Thank you for making such an amazing app!

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2024-08-31, version 2.8.4*

Surprised, having used a plethora of other language apps over the years. This has cultural education, easy to follow mini games, clear and concise speech and no ads as far as I’ve seen! Absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Best App for Learning Saudi Arabic

*2024-07-31, version 2.8.4*

I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia but still didn’t manage to learn to speak Arabic. Tried learning Arabic through Duolingo but I always ended giving up. This app is much better and interesting than any other app. Definitely a must try if you’re really passionate to learn Arabic.

### 5/5 — The best

### 2/5 — Same bugs keep coming (everyday)

*2026-04-28, version 2.8.4*

Why do I keep getting logged out after some time of inactivity? And the app keeps waiting for me to finish a lesson just to make me repeat it to no end over "errors" or "no internet" or saying “Oops! We updated this lesson, please replay again”. This happens multiple times everyday. I’ve found that the only say to solve this is by turning my whole phone off and on to carry on. Other than that, this app is amazing. I just wish there wasn’t so many bugs everyday that are putting me off this app.

### 2/5 — Too slow

*2025-01-30, version 2.8.4*

The lessons move far too slow and you can’t skip lessons you don’t need. Please fix this. I’ve been using for hours and hours and have not learned anything new. If the speed doesn’t increase, I’ll have to stop using it. It’s just too frustrating.

### 3/5 — Pros and Cons

*2024-10-03, version 2.8.4*

Being the only Saudi Arabic app, it’s actually pretty nice. However, it would be nice if you could take tests for different lessons and skip them if you know it already. Also, there should be an English translation, as people with no Arabic background cannot understand whatever they’re saying.

### 3/5 — Good if you know the basics

*2023-08-17, version 2.1.0*

The app is very helpful and I think the way it teaches is very fun and I love the interaction but the thing is even though it gives you 3 options on where you want to get from knowing the basics being conversational or fluent I think it’s impossible to learn the basics from basic words that you would need to even say a sentence about yourself also the app has 0 translations of what it’s teaching you Instead they have little images that could be interpreted in anyway I think these are essential to teaching a new language to anyone but I do have to say if you already speak some Arabic and you’re using the app to learn more I think you should be fine that’s all I have for now

### 4/5 — Amazing app for Saudi Arabic

*2026-07-07, version 2.8.4*

This is a great app to learn the local dialect. I take the classes as well and I use this to recap on everything I’m learning. My only feedback would be to make the app faster, so when we know the answer we can click immediately on buttons and move to the next screen fast rather than waiting for all the pauses.

### 4/5 — Only App to teach saudi dialect

*2024-02-09, version 2.3.1*

This app is a nice and interactive way to learn the saudi dialect but i would recommend to at least write the english word under the image just to understand. i also wish there was a way to skip levels im an intermediate speaker and going through things i’ve already known.

### 4/5 — Wonderful app

*2024-01-16, version 2.3.1*

This is a wonderful app because I’ve been trying to learn the Saudi dialect. It’s pretty hard to find an app that could teach you this dialect and not standard Arabic, but the only thing is that they should add is the translation for whatever language the individual chooses,

### 4/5 — Great app! But there’s a bug - please fix

*2023-10-06, version 2.2.1*

When I was doing the class for number 11-15, and I selected the right answer for the first question, the app just froze without proceeding to the next question. Fix fix this bug as I got stuck on this class

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-04-18, version 2.8.4*

This is a great app for learning for Adults and kids

### 5/5 — Better then duolingo for arabic

*2026-04-12, version 2.8.4*

Duolingo is bad for Arabic. This is way better

### 5/5 — amazing app!!

*2026-03-13, version 2.8.4*

I was losing my arabic dialect but back in january I found this app and decided to give it a try, and I’m glad I did, whoever made this app, the designs, the insight of saudi culture and modules on other stuff, and overall design of this app is pretty good I love it whoever made this app possible I thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-03-07, version 2.8.4*

Amazing app for helping to understand more what I am hearing! Thank you!

### 5/5 — This app is a gem

*2026-02-28, version 2.8.4*

This is an amazing app for learning saudi arabic! It’s so rare to find materials to study a specific arabic dialect, i’m genuinely so happy I found this app! 
I love the style, drawings and how the app was designed, it’s all really well thought out and makes it enjoyable to learn. 
Thank you to whoever made this app I truly love it so much <3

### 5/5 — Great app for learning Arabic

*2026-02-16, version 2.8.4*

Great app for learning Arabic

### 5/5 — GREAT

*2026-01-14, version 2.8.4*

It is extremely useful fun and interactive, would definitely recommend it to others. Helps to improve my Arabic quickly and efficiently

### 5/5 — Helpful App

*2026-01-14, version 2.8.4*

On your map you have cut off the Eastern end of Najran province, but love the map and cultural additions. Would be helpful to label the sections by topic rather than just number on the map so it is easier to review them, and have the list of words/pictures covered more easily available once a section is done so you don't have to go through the whole section to get to them. It would also be helpful to have an option that speeds up the speech as feels like it takes forever to get the words out. The focus on verbs early on is very helpful and the game formats thoughtful and effective. A few more prepositions in the preposition section would be nice, especially as soon after that you ask a question involving the preposition 'next to', without having introduced it. In general some sections would benefit from a bit more material, the picture game is a good idea, adding more questions/pictures would make it great.

### 5/5 — PHENOMENAL!!!!

*2026-01-03, version 2.8.4*

This is genuinely a life-saving app. I was losing my Arabic and couldn’t find anywhere to review my Arabic and learn new words in Saudi Arabic in particular. Every single app focused on standard Arabic and basic things that don’t really help in real life. I feel I owe so much to everyone who made this app possible! It’s PHENOMENAL on every single level imaginable!! And I haven’t even tried the live teacher classes yet lol!

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2025-11-19, version 2.8.4*

I am really enjoying the app my only issue is sometimes I can’t reach the continue button for the next lesson at times I’m having issues trying to get to the last few lesson on Mecca region
