Release history

What’s new

Every Ummahti release and what it added, newest first. The same history is in the app, under Settings, and it reads offline.

1.4.0

Ummahti Guide

Describe what you are facing in your own words. Guide answers from the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah, and every answer names the exact source you can open and read for yourself. It works fully offline, and nothing you type leaves your phone.

Du’as inside Guide

A curated set of Qur’anic and authentic Prophetic supplications, each with a reading aid, its meaning, its exact reference, and when it is authentically said. No invented repetition counts, and no promised outcomes.

Read, Save and Reflect

Every verse Guide shows you opens in the reader, saves to your bookmarks, or takes a private reflection, through the same reader, the same Saved and the same reflections you already use. Come back and Guide is still on the answer you left.

When you need support

Guide now tells an ordinary heavy week apart from an emergency, and answers each differently: practical, sourced guidance for the first, and a short, direct instruction to reach a person for the second. It is always one tap from Guide’s landing.

Reading Themes and Heritage

Twelve reading themes, each with a live preview and an honest note on where its pattern came from: derived from a tradition, broadly inspired by one, or Ummahti’s own. The theme picker in Settings works exactly as it always did; this sits beside it, for when you want to look before you choose.

Three of the twelve are new. Classic Ink is a monochrome reading environment: white paper, black ink and nothing else. Shiraz Dawn is cool stone with morning light arriving through coloured glass at the margins. Jali Moon is a pierced stone screen at night, at the lowest light the app emits. No reader’s chosen theme moves, and two accents were deepened so that labels and controls clear their contrast floor.

Mushaf al-Madinah

The seventh calligraphy style, set in the King Fahd Complex’s own face over the Complex’s own spelling of the text. A face and the orthography it was cut for are one decision rather than two, so Ummahti ships them as a pair.

Eleven more reciters

Thirty-eight voices now, murattal and mujawwad. Tap any verse to hear it, and your reading place stays exactly where you left it.

Video from the Ummahti channel

Previewed inside the app rather than sending you out to a browser.

Why “Ummahti”?

A new page under About: the name, and the narration it comes from, with its collection, reference and chapter. It reads offline. The short version is on the home page.

1.3.0

Sacred Times

Jumu’ah, Ramadan and the last ten nights, both Eids, Arafah, Ashura and the sacred months each change the light of the app and open onto an authored guide: what the time means, what the Prophet ﷺ and the Companions did, what you can do now, and the source behind every line.

A reflection library

Home draws from three hundred written reflections, each one anchored to a single exact ayah or to one graded narration. The source sits under every reflection, and tapping it opens it.

Eight more reciters

Yasser Al-Dosari, Nasser Al-Qatami, Khalid Al-Jalil, Idris Abkar, Fares Abbad, Saad Al-Ghamdi, Bandar Balila and Mustafa Ismail, which brought the choice to twenty-seven voices at the time.

Reading that scrolls itself

The page scrolls at a pace you set, in Verse Stream and Continuous Mushaf. Touch the page to pause; your pace is remembered.

Sleep timer

Set the recitation to fade out after a while, or at the end of the current surah.

Resize your Home cards

Press and hold any card on Home, then drag its handles. Corners resize continuously, each card adapts its layout, and the page reflows as you go.

Your bookmarks, arranged your way

Group saved verses into collections you name yourself. A verse can sit in as many as you like, and nothing is filed for you.

One reading place, when you want it

Keep Ayah on Unlock separate, share its place with your main reading, or move either journey to an exact ayah you choose.

And the rest

  • A searchable surah picker, by name or number, showing where each surah was revealed.
  • A quiet mark when you finish a juz, shown only after you have genuinely read through it.
  • Shared verse cards drawn in the app’s own Qur’an typeface.
  • The screen stays awake while you are actively reading, and returns to normal when you leave the reader.
  • Offline Help and FAQ, searchable without a connection.

1.2.0

A release given entirely to reliability and security hardening. No new features, by design.
