### 2/5 — Videos DON’T PLAY

*2026-06-27*

I don’t know how anybody can play any video on this app. Maybe it is just a bug that affects only a handful of people. I actually used to be able to play feeds in the past bust now those stopped working as well. Initially I thought it was just a temporary bug that will be addressed but it has been over six months now and every time I come back here it is still the same thing . 
So I beg and make a plea to the awesome developers of this app to please look into this. 
May Allah bless you all!

### 5/5 — Alhamdulillah

*2026-05-25*

I had come across this app a year so ago, downloaded it and unfortunately did not engage much - perhaps it was the UI. Recently, had a pivot in my life and Allah SWT guided me to it and I am forever grateful. The content, the lesson, curation top tier - it’s really help me to take a break from socials and focus on my deen. May Allah SWT bless everyone involved in this app and wider Yaqeen Institute

### 5/5 — So good

*2026-04-30*

I really like this Yaqeen Institute app it updates me every time it gets a new video the platform is like social media but better

### 5/5 — MashaAllah

*2026-04-06, version 9.7.1*

Simply the best institute. Jakallah Khairan

### 5/5 — Knowledgeable

*2026-03-24*

Mashallah ! Very well organized and contains a lot of resources for Muslims or non Muslims to learn more about the deen . Very convenient too.

### 2/5 — Great info, bad platform

*2026-03-18*

The information and accessibility and amount of knowledge and resources and benefits is amazing. The negative part is that I can’t play any videos and all of the images on research blogs are stretched out horizontally so you can’t see half the image. Im looking through the reviews and see that not many others are having this problem but I deleted and reinstalled the app and refreshed it multiple times and still the same issue. The website works much better for me and all of the actual media on the app is amazing it’s just that the platform is bad.

### 5/5 — Unique insightful, listening to dialogue

*2026-03-09, version 9.7.0*

The talks are so rich and dense with so much Islamic knowledge and careful attention. Also appreciate the space where women are also speaking!🤍
Love the app design, only thing is the progress doesn’t save and the app refreshes often which makes less accessible. 
+Really comprehensively covers so many areas

### 5/5 — A Modern app to better Muslims

*2026-03-07*

Very modern, almost like a tiktok or formal app to learn, I appreciate the user friendliness. The feed can be a little more fluid from a technical aspect. I love the quizzes that pop up. Very informative, modern, simple to research topics. I would suggest have “suggestions” pop up when you’re searching something, sometimes writing an Arabic word in English is weird to spell. May Allah reward all of you!

### 5/5 — A Beautiful Resource

*2026-02-28*

I really enjoy this app, the papers and the videos, it is alhamdulillah such a great resource, may Allah bless you all in your efforts and keep you going, and keep the community consistently contributing, ameen.

Minor asks: can we get formatting options for the text? Change the size, spacing, font etc. And can you please allow selection of text in the papers? I can do it in the web version, but not the app, when trying to look something up or copy for notes etc.

Thank you so much, the entire Yaqeen team!

### 5/5 — Very best

*2026-02-26*

We need this type of blog with Islamic perspectives on our current issues of daily lifestyle
