### 3/5 — SO MANY GLITCHES

*2025-10-09, version 1.1*

Assalam o Alaikum, I love this app and was using it since its been launched. There were so many improvements, but at this point I reckon, there is no one updating this app. As I tried to reinstall the app it is still showing me that the app is downloaded even though its deleted. Can you please help me to fix this issue as I have bookmarked my last readings and cannot recall where I was.

### 3/5 — Found a mistake, pls check

*2025-09-13, version 1.1*

Assalamualaikum waRahmatullahi waBarakatuh!
Surah waqiah- ayat no.23: its written lulual, but actually it is luluil. Hamza is having zabar instead of zer. 
I hope correction will be done asap. 
JazakAllahu khair.

PS: In The glorious quran original iOS Version

### 4/5 — Feedback

*2024-12-15, version 1.1*

The app is great with many Qaris for listening Quran. I believe there should be an update to address minor bugs as the app keeps crashing upon opening which is really annoying.

### 1/5 — No update

*2024-02-04, version 1.1*

Last 3 parts keeps crushing even after I have updated my phone. Only reason I am using this is because of the translation which I know is authentic

*2023-06-16, version 1.1*

*2022-04-23, version 1.1*

I can’t change the foreground and background colours for the Arabic and English

### 5/5 — Great work

*2021-07-25, version 1.1*

Translation of each and Individual ayaats all is great.
But the app crashes every time. Please take a look at it I need it done as soon as possible as I am on daily basis reading Quran translation on this app.

### 5/5 — Settings

*2021-07-13, version 1.1*

Please fix settings as some of the features are not working for example play any surah repeatedly is not working rather its playing entire Quran. 
Play full quran setting is not getting disabled.
