### 5/5 — Wonderful

Very user friendly.

### 1/5 — Need old version please

*2023-07-18*

The old version was much easier to read. Please bring it back. JazakAllah

### 1/5 — Current layout unusable

*2023-07-01*

The previous layout was so much better. You can pinch to zoom, the font Was great. My kids were used to it. This current layout is horrible. You can’t pinch to zoom. The way the Roku are layout is difficult to read. Please give us the ability to use the old layout.

### 1/5 — Not an authentic quranic translation

*2023-05-31*

The ahmadiyya community made this app. They do not hold traditional Islamic views or beliefs and their Quranic translation cannot be trusted.

### 1/5 — WARNING!

*2023-05-31*

Misinterpreted translation of the Qur’an! FAKE APP!

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2023-04-24*

I read through it every Ramadan, and just completed it last week.  I decided to go through it more carefully this year, since I rarely leave myself time to fully go through the commentary during Ramadan (I usually read after opening my fast, and can be a bit drowsy at that time of day, so I try to stay focused on the actual scripture).  This is the first time I’ve noticed that there’s a missing page.  According to the table of contents, there should be a “Prayer offered at the completion of the recitation of the Holy Qur’ān” on page 1851, after the end of Sura An-Nās.  Sura An-Nās ends on page 1850, sure enough , and is succeeded by Arabic Words & Expressions explained in the commentary.  It begins on page 1853, and does not include the aforementioned prayer.  Subsequent to Words & Expressions is the Index, beginning on page 1865, and an unpaged Publisher’s Note, neither of which contain the missing prayer.  It’s probably too late for my iPad, which is very long in the tooth, now, and unable to update most of its apps due to running an out-of-date build, but some day I’ll have a brand new one.  I look forward to downloading an updated version of this app at that time.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2022-11-15*

This is totally fabricated and misguided version of quran

### 5/5 — Very good

*2022-01-05*

Very good app, there is one mistake on pg 400 with commentary numbers
