App Features & Explained

What is Intellij Mode and how does it work?

Intellij Mode is our smart memorization engine designed to mimic how a teacher helps you memorize.

Instead of playing the whole Surah, it works in 'Sets' (groups of verses).

  1. You define a Set size (e.g., 3 verses).
  2. It plays Verse 1 repeatedly (based on your settings).
  3. It plays Verse 2 repeatedly.
  4. Then, it loops Verse 1 and 2 together to cement the connection.
  5. It continues this 'stacking' method until the set is complete, ensuring strong retention.

How does Word-by-Word Analysis work?

Our Word-by-Word feature breaks down each verse to help you understand the Quran deeper. It includes:

  • Word-by-word translation in your preferred language.
  • Transliteration to help with pronunciation.
  • Integrated Tajweed rules for accurate recitation.

Which Tafsirs are available?

You can access authentic Tafsir to grasp the context and meaning of verses. We currently support:

  • Tafsir Ibn Kathir (English, Urdu, Indonesian, and Arabic).
  • You can adjust the font size of the Tafsir text for easier reading.

How does the Revision Tracking work?

The app includes a dedicated dashboard to manage your revision tasks. A key feature is 'Continuous Playback' (Playlist style).

  • Mark specific Surahs for revision.
  • When playing in Revise mode, once a Surah finishes, the app automatically plays the next Surah in your list, allowing for hands-free revision while driving or commuting.

Does the app have Qibla and Prayer Times?

Yes, these are completely free features:

  • Accurate Qibla finder using your device's location.
  • Prayer times based on various calculation methods (Muslim World League, Hanafi, etc.). Note: Notifications are not supported.

How do I change Speed, Repeat Count, and Wait Times?

You have full control over the audio playback to suit your learning pace:

  • Repeat Count: Long press the repeat button to enter a custom number (e.g., 49 times).
  • Playback Speed: Long press the play button or use the settings to adjust speed from 0.5x (slow) to 2.0x (fast).
  • Wait (Delay): You can add silent pauses before or after an Ayah. This is useful for reciting the verse yourself after hearing it.

Can I change the Quran Font or Script style?

Yes, you can customize the reading experience in Layout Settings:

  • Madani Mushaf (Page View): The classic 15-line script.
  • Tajweed (Verse View): Colored Tajweed rules to assist with pronunciation.
  • Indo-Pak/Asian Script: Available in the settings for users familiar with this style.

Can I use the app offline?

Yes. You can download individual Surahs or bulk download multiple Surahs at once. Once downloaded, the recitation will play without an internet connection.

Is there a Web or Desktop version?

We do not have a website version yet. However, Mac users with Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) chips can download the Mac version of our app directly from the Mac App Store.

  • For Android: Open Google Play Store > Profile Icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions and cancel there.

Subscription & Billing

What is included in Free vs. Premium?

How do I get the Free Subscription (Student/Teacher)?

We offer a completely free subscription for students, teachers, and those who genuinely cannot afford the fee. We do not want cost to be a barrier.

  1. Go to Settings > Subscription.
  2. Scroll down to find the 'Free Subscription' text or button.
  3. You will be asked to confirm your eligibility under oath.
  4. Once confirmed, the app will unlock all premium features immediately.

I have a Lifetime Subscription but it says 'Expired'.

This usually happens if the app doesn't recognize your user session. Please try this:

  1. Go to Settings and check if you are signed in.
  2. If you are signed in, please Sign Out and then Sign In again.
  3. Tap on Restore Subscription in the Subscription menu.

Troubleshooting

Error: 'Cannot find matching credentials' when signing in.

This error usually comes from the Google Sign-In service on Android devices.

  • Ensure a Google Account is added to your phone's system settings (not just the app).
  • Check that 'Sign in with Google' is not disabled in your device settings.
  • Try restarting your device.

My audio recitation stops or loops incorrectly.

This is often due to the repetition settings:

  • Check if 'Intellij Mode' is ON. This mode is designed to strictly loop sets for memorization.
  • If you want continuous playback (e.g., for listening like a playlist), ensure Intellij Mode is OFF and use the 'Revise' or 'Recite' tab instead.
