### 3/5 — Great App But…

*2025-03-22*

We are strongly prohibited for using The real and Special name of Imam Mahdi (as) but in the section of his Ziyarats it shows that name. So I have deleted the app for that reason.

### 5/5 — Best Shia App on Apple store

*2025-02-14, version 4.5*

This is one of the best applications for Us shia on Apple store. May Allah rewards the developers with prosperity and success. I would kindly request you please add more Transliterations for other dua Ziyarat and Quran as well. I know its hard and lots of work but i hope you would add more transliteration slowly. Best wishes.
