Most apps rush past the Arabic alphabet in ten minutes and leave you sounding out words from a transliteration forever. Nur teaches the script itself. Seven stages take you from a single letter to a full sentence: the 28 letters on their own, their forms inside a word, the short vowels, tanween and sukoon, the long vowels, joining, and finally reading. KEY FEATURES • Every letter in three steps — hear it, trace it in the correct stroke order, then record yourself and play it back against the reference. • Stroke-order tracing that shows where the pen starts and where it goes. This is what makes Ų¬, Ų­ and Ų® stop looking identical. • 260 words across themed classes — numbers, colours, family, the body, animals, food and drink, and more. • Four practice games: spot the letter, name the letter, find them all, and build the word. • Progress you can see — mastery per letter, a streak, and an optional weekly summary. • Works on iPhone and iPad. WHAT IT COSTS Nur is free. No subscription, no in-app purchase, nothing locked behind a paywall. It is supported by ads shown between practice games. YOUR RECORDINGS Your voice stays on this device. No account, no sign-in, and recordings are never uploaded. Nur counts which lessons get finished so the hard parts of the course can be improved, and you can turn that off under Progress. REQUIREMENTS iOS 17 or later. The microphone is needed for the recording step — decline it and everything else still works.
