When you stop, the summary of the whole recording, as before. The words are checked, not tajweed; recognition runs on the phone, without the internet • Settings gathered into five clear groups • Fixes and improvements ### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-28 Background modes: "audio" and "fetch". - audio: ONLY for Quran recitation and du'a audio that the user starts with a tap (Home > Quran > any surah > Play; Home > Du'a > Play). It keeps playing on the Lock Screen with Now Playing controls. No silent or keep-alive audio; it pauses on calls and when headphones are unplugged. - fetch: a BGAppRefreshTask ("com.muhammad.upgrademuslim.rainCheck") that runs only if the user turns on "Remind me about rain" in Settings > Azan and reminders. It makes one small weather request for the saved city and shows a local notification with a du'a if it rains. No tracking, no background location. Microphone, new in 1.4.0: used only by the optional Recitation check (Quran > any surah > the recitation icon in the top bar, or Quran list > "Recitation check"). The user reads verses aloud; speech is recognized entirely on the device (whisper.cpp with an open-source Apache 2.0 model) and compared word by word with the Quran text. No audio or text is sent to any server; the temporary recording is deleted right after recognition. The microphone is never used in the background. On first use the app downloads the recognition model (57 MB) from GitHub. Test: Quran > Al-Ikhlas (112) > recitation icon > Start > Download > Start recording > read the surah aloud > Stop — the words are marked correct / missed / replaced. No login is required. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-26 • A reminder to make dua when rain starts, even with the app closed (turn it on in Settings → Azan and reminders) • Fixes and improvements ## More apps by Deni Avtorkhanov - [DaimFood](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daimfood/id6762373953) All apps by Deni Avtorkhanov: https://appshunter.io/developer/6804218427 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
