Dear developers Thanks for this beautiful work. The only issue is with root words. Its font size can not be increased and is very small comments using iphone xr. fonts cannot be increased by tapping on screen. somehow font scaling is not working

JazakAllah khair this is exactly what I’ve been looking for, I would suggest adding one feature and that is to be able to go through the words one by one having the Arabic above and the translation below it, may also add flash cards mode where Arabic shows and asks for English meaning and in reverse with some algorithm to repeat the ones answered wrong, shukran in advance!

Assalam Alaikum

The app is wonderfully made. Very simple and great interface. 
Please add font size to the settings interface. The current font size for both arabic and translation are too small for comfortable reading. I prefer very large fonts. Because I want to read with my kids.

### 1/5 — Too hard

*2020-06-20*

This app is not working.

### 1/5 — Beware of using this app

*2018-09-20*

Actually this is the best word to word Quran translation app. But there are so many mistakes of typos such as in Surya Al Kahfi. Many words ‘Robbi’ written ‘robba’in the app. ‘Yukallibu’ becames ‘yukalliba’. I tried to reach the author and tell him about these serious issues but no reply yet.
I just hope that these mistakes are not on purpose 
Wallahualam.

**Developer response:** Please ignore this stupid and baseless accusation. 
الله يهدك!

*2022-04-17*

Not working as the website version .  Could not play continuously

### 2/5 — Unable to select a reciter

*2020-04-29*

Amazing in other terms, can zoom into words with no other app allows for. The main point was to be able to recite the Quran properly but the app doesn’t show any reciters and closes every time I try to select a reciter where the options are zero

**Developer response:** Download the reciter first from setting menu

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with Iphone xs Max

*2019-02-26*

This app worked on my old iPhone but not on the new one. After completely downloading the reciter and selecting it from the options there is no sound. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and downloading the reciter again. I even tried to download a different reciter, but after selecting it it still does not recite either reciter.  sometimes after opening the app it just crashes.

*2024-08-10*

Crashes on Launch. Help!

### 3/5 — Excellent!

*2022-12-09*

Would suggest some improvements to this wonderful app to make it even better: 1) ability to highlight words- for someone trying to review that would come very useful- just being able to review the highlighted words 2) being able to cut & past the highlighted words in a list for review later on

### 3/5 — More features

*2021-01-07*

### 5/5 — No Reciters available

*2024-09-21*

Great app, love it, please add the reciters though, just need to update!!

### 5/5 — Excellent appearance

*2024-08-19*

Text & background color combination is pleasing to eyes.
And, the meaning of words most of the time easily relatable to Urdu. Occasionally, not able to find a related word in Urdu.
Nonetheless, it is exceedingly useful for one who also knows Urdu and pursuing word for word understanding Quran.
I would rate the application 10/10
May Allah bless u for getting out the word of Allah to the world.

### 5/5 — Exactly what ive been looking for

*2024-06-08*

A word for word translation that labels the inflection for each word. Perfect as I then check my grammar knowledge. Hifz supports my grammar learning, and grammar supports my hifz effort. Alhamdulillah great app.

Very beautiful app Masha Allah, if only the search option will be added so a word can be searched directly, Jazak Allah khairan for your efforts.

### 5/5 — Navigation

*2023-12-03*

The app is very good 
It would be helpful if going to next pages is made more easier. At the moment to go to next page you have to select the page number from dropdown list. ideally we should be able to scroll down through

The only app with good presentation of grammar aligned with corpus Quran.
