Feedback on Updated English Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Salamoaleikom,
The tafsir for the ayat are all gathered in one ayah.
For example the tafsir ibn kathir for Al-Haqqah for ayat 1-12 is on ayah 12. Before every ayah would have it's tafsir but now I find the tafsir for Ayah 1 on ayah 12.
Could you change it back to the way it was before, where every ayah had it's on tafsir and not all the tafsir grouped up on under one ayah, Jazakallahu khair.

Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dear brothers and sisters,
Alhamdulillah, we've released an update v1.29.4 to improve your reading experience with English Tafsir Ibn Kathir. We sincerely appreciate your patience and valuable feedback.
What's improved:
- Better readability with proper spacing between paragraphs and words
- Arabic font restored to the previous style
- Tafsir for grouped ayahs is now visible from any ayah within that group, eliminating the need to jump between the ayahs
Important clarification:
English Tafsir Ibn Kathir has always been the abridged version by Darussalaam - both in our app and other platforms. We haven't abridged it with our recent updates. In fact, the new database includes some previously missing content and many corrections, making it more complete and aligned with the published book.Regarding ayah-by-ayah separation: The current format maintains the scholarly grouping of ayahs as found in the original Darussalam publication. This ensures the accuracy and completeness of the explanations as intended in the original tafsir.
You can update the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greentech.quran
We're committed to continuous improvement while maintaining the authenticity of the tafsir.
Your feedback helps us serve the Ummah better, jazakumullahu khairan.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to share them with us.

Hi,
I've just gotten update 1.29.4, and was hoping it would be reverted to how it was like before...
But it just shows the same text for multiple verses, and line breaks are inconsistent when compared to how they were originally.
If it is not reverted, then unfortunately I will have to downgrade to an older version of the app which still has the old tafsir, because it is too vital to let go, and one of the main reasons I use this app.

ecys5asc akhi can you tell me how to downgrade jazzakallahu kheiran

abdihamimhirsi Yes. You can download an old version online by searching "al quran uptodown" google and selecting version 1.28.5. It has Tafsir Ibn Kathir the way it was before they changed it. Your GTAF account works fine and you can sync bookmarks/notes. :)
It also removes some new features such as your longest streak, etc... but i am not using it for tracking the streak! sooo, NOT interested!

I hope that In'shaa'Allah the tafseer of ibn kathir will be brought back to normal and that we could chose between abridged and detailed. If it doesn't come back....unfortunately i will have to delete the app, because now there will be (for me) no point of using it anymore, i really loved the tafsir. May Allah make it easy for you, wa salam alaykum wa rahmatuLlahi wa barakatuh!

In my opinion the older ibn kathir was more fluent than the current one. It was just more fluid: it felt smoother whilst reading.
The current one is just a big blob of text! It's so difficult to read — the structure has been ruined and the font size is small — I thought user experience was GTAF's specialty...
This was the one of the best features of the app. Please please don't ruin it.

Salam Alaykum!
I left a review on the "Play Store" regarding the update on the "Abridged" tafsir of Ibn Kathir and I was replied to come here and leave a feedback and Alhamdulillah, I'm very happy that many of my brothers and sisters have made same reviews as I have in mind for reversing the tafsirs to each ayah.
I've made comparison between the new update and the old version on my different two devices and saw that there has been some additions e.g The opening tafsir of Az-Zumar which is on ayah 4 has an Hadith of A'ishah(RA) which the old version does not have, jazakallahu khayran for that.
Lastly, I humbly request that the old Arabic FONT for the tasfirs for "quoted verses and Hadiths" be reversed too along with each "verse with its tafsir".
May Allah SWT who gives ease and success makes it easy for the team to implement these reviews, Amin. Jazakallahu khayran.
