Quran Academy was getting somewhere with this app back in 2016/2017, with a great UI/UX and unique features. But there have been no updates or focus on the app since 2018. As a result, many are experiencing bugs and have felt they’ve wasted money. The app is literally of no use if you don’t have a premium. While they have a great reader and Academy TV to learn Arabic, it’s a shame they couldn’t sustain work on the apps. I believe they would have been my go-to app if they had.
