What's New in Qissah
We're excited to bring you a major update that enhances your spiritual experience, broadens access, and introduces powerful new features designed to support your journey every day. Here's everything that's been added, improved, and refined:
1. Stories in Multiple Languages
We understand the importance of accessibility and connection, so now you can enjoy our story library in both English and Arabic. This means you can switch between languages easily and explore the same rich content in the language you feel most comfortable with. And this is just the beginning — we're working on adding more languages in the near future so even more users can benefit.
2. German and Dutch Story Narrations
We are now supporting German and Dutch on story narrations! This expansion allows even more users to enjoy our rich collection of stories in their native language, making the spiritual journey more personal and accessible.
3. Dedicated Dhikr Section
The new Dhikr section offers a comprehensive collection of supplications, remembrances, and reflections to support your spiritual practice throughout the day. Whether you're starting your morning, taking a break, or winding down for the night, this feature helps you stay connected, mindful, and centered. You'll find different types of dhikrs categorized for convenience and ease of access.
4. Prayer Times & Notifications
We've improved the prayer times functionality for greater accuracy and convenience. The app now automatically detects and displays your local prayer times based on your location and chosen calculation method. Enable prayer notifications to receive timely reminders — helping you never miss a prayer, even when life gets busy. The interface has been optimized for clarity and ease of use, allowing you to see upcoming prayer times at a glance.
5. Holy Qur'an Section with Recitations
We're proud to introduce a complete Holy Qur'an section within Qissah. Browse through the Qur'an text, listen to high-quality recitations, and immerse yourself more deeply in the combined experience of reading and listening. The recitations are clear, the navigation is smooth, and the design supports both reading and listening modes seamlessly. It's a new way to engage with the Qur'an directly within the app.
6. AI Quran Buddy – Chat Feature
We've added an intelligent conversational companion to help you learn, explore, and reflect. The AI Quran Buddy allows you to ask questions, request explanations, and interact with the Qur'an in a conversational way. Whether you're curious about meanings, want a summary, or wish to discuss a verse, this feature acts like a knowledgeable friend available at any time. It's designed to support growth, learning, and reflection — not to replace scholars, but to enhance your experience.
7. Performance Improvements, Design Enhancements & Bug Fixes
In addition to the major features above, we've made foundational optimizations to make Qissah faster, smoother, and more responsive. The design has been refined for consistency across languages, improved readability, and clearer visual presentation. We've also addressed several smaller issues reported by users to ensure a reliable experience.
