Is perfect now
After using the new reading mode, I noticed that the scrolling behavior is not quite what I had in mind. The current implementation is more like jump scrolling, whereas I was referring to seamless continuous scrolling If you could implement smooth, uninterrupted scrolling, I believe the reading experience would be much better.
I also have one small suggestion regarding the copy feature. If possible, please include the book chapter (باب) along with the existing citation information. For example:
صحيح مسلم-كِتَابٌ: الْإِيمَانُ- بَابٌ: بَيَانُ أَرْكَانِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَدَعَائِمِهِ الْعِظَامِ رقم حديث: ١٦-(٢١)
(المجلد:1-الصفحة:34)
This would make copied references much more complete and useful for research and citation.
Thank you again for your hard work and dedication.
May Allah reward you abundantly.

Thank you so much for the kind words and detailed feedback! A few notes on your suggestions: 1. Search with/without tashkil: partially supported — the app normalizes diacritics during search, so you can search without tashkil and still find fully voweled text. Full tashkil-specific search requires a second FTS index and is on the long-term roadmap. 2. Scrolling reader style and share with sources are noted — great ideas for future updates. 3. Section download are available with tap and hold on Library lists. 4. Regarding the full Shamela database: the library is curated for internal reason, so some titles are intentionally excluded. We still rebuild curated full library and bring the feature to iOS. Insha Allah.
Very Close to perfection
In my previous review and suggestions, I mentioned several things that I hoped would be added. I was pleasantly surprised that within only two updates, many of those requests had already been implemented and improved by your team. Thank you,
Now I would like to mention what I believe is the most important feature:
Please make the Shamela library source as complete and make it the ultimate reference source.
For example, in Shamela there are multiple editions of Sahih al-Bukhari, such as:
• صحيح البخاري – ط السلطانية
• صحيح البخاري – طبعة عطاءات العلم
• صحيح البخاري – تحقيق البغا
• صحيح البخاري – طبعة التأصيل
This is only one example There are many other books and editions available in Shamela, but currently only one edition of Sahih al-Bukhari is included in the app.
I believe all of these editions are important In my opinion, this app is designed not only for simple searching, but also for serious research and study Therefore, I kindly ask you to include all available Shamela sources and editions.
I know this is a large request, but many Shamela-based apps on iPhone either do not work properly or are no longer maintained. This app has great potential to become the best option available.
I would also like to suggest:
• Add smooth scrolling support in the reading section.
• Add a copy feature that includes the book source, volume number, and page number when copying text.
With these additions, the app would be perfect.
Thank you very much for your hard work and dedication.
Jazakum Allahu Khayran
