Frequently Asked Questions

Is NoorLingo really free?

Yes! All 1,000 words, all 100 lessons, and all 12 games are completely free. The free tier includes occasional ads. Premium ($3.99/month) removes ads and adds advanced features.

How does the neuroscience approach work?

NoorLingo uses four research-backed techniques: Spaced Repetition (SM-2 algorithm) schedules reviews at optimal intervals; Active Recall tests you rather than just showing information; the 85% Rule adapts difficulty to maximize learning; and Contextual Encoding teaches every word with a real Quranic verse.

Does it work offline?

Yes! All vocabulary data and the Arabic text-to-speech engine work offline. You don't need an internet connection to study. Your progress syncs automatically when you reconnect.

How does progress sync work?

Your progress syncs automatically across all your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) via iCloud. No account creation required — it uses your Apple ID. When you get a new device, your progress is already there.

How do I restore my subscription on a new device?

Go to Settings in the App and tap "Restore Purchases." Your subscription is linked to your Apple ID and will be restored automatically.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are managed through Apple. Go to iPhone Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > NoorLingo > Cancel Subscription. You'll retain Premium access until the end of your billing period.

What Quran text source do you use?

Our vocabulary database is compiled from the Quranic Arabic Corpus (corpus.quran.com), an open-source linguistic resource from the University of Leeds, licensed under GNU GPL. Verse examples use standard Uthmani Quran text.

I found an error in a translation or verse. How do I report it?

Please email us at [email protected] with the word, the error you found, and the correct information. We take accuracy very seriously and will review all reports promptly.

How do I delete my data?

Go to Settings > Reset All Progress to clear your local data. To delete iCloud data, go to iPhone Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > NoorLingo > Delete Data. You can also email [email protected] to request full data deletion.
