Please develop a Linux version of the Al-Quran app. Currently there aren't much good Quran apps for Linux compared to Windows. If you create an open-source project to develop the Linux app, I hope you'll get much support from the Linux community and the development will be swift inshaAllah.

Shahriar Nasim Nafi ... thanks !
The app opened on my linux machine. a few clarifications.
Can't we log in and sync our bookmarks for our devices ?
I couldn't find the sync button and any place in settings where i could log in with the gtaf account !

Assalamu Alaikum, Here is the latest BETA app. We have tested this in several distro. We are using flatpak for package distribution. So basically it will now support all distros where you can install flatpak. And flatpak supports all popular distros.
Installation process:
First install flatpak from here https://flatpak.org/setup/
Then install this package using "flatpak install -y org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/22.08"
And restart your computer.
Then download quran app: https://drive.google.com/file/d/186rXwVUGwVdC8npeNY8Mo6kEelQBQKly/view?usp=sharing
And install quran app using "flatpak install --user org.gtaf.quran.flatpak"
Thanks for your support & patience. Please share your feedback with us.

Okay....just tried this...
I opened Ubuntu with xorg X11 and it works!
But the default I use and the better desktop environment is Wayland. Wayland is having issue (please look at the message 13 minutes back with the new screenshot)...kindly do something for that
S
Shahriar Nasim Nafi
ikhlaskhan107: That's interesting. Jazakallah khair for this digging up. Let us check what can we do about adding wayland support. I will let you know inn sha Allah.
BTW, is the app working fine? Is audio playback working?

Shahriar Nasim Nafi: When installed from Flathub, I can't open the app directly from menu in Linux Mint. It requires me to edit the menu item and fix the launch command for the app to open it.
S
Shahriar Nasim Nafi
md._khaled_hossain: Did you restart your PC after installing Flatpak (not the Quran app) ? It requires a restart to be visible as a menu item.
m
md._khaled_hossain
Shahriar Nasim Nafi: It is visible as a menu item. But, when I clicked on it, it didn't run. Then I had to fix the command. Now it runs.

Absolutely we need the Linux version of this Quran app. After Zekr, KSU Ayat, Elforkane, and Qawl, there is no definite Quran app for Linux. The only remain is Othman. Even it is paid version, I will buy it.
