Downloading verses mandatory now?

[potaatu]

What is your question?

Hello.

Previously we were able to play the audio recitation of any verse without needing to download it (if wifi is on). Now, if I want to listen to only a particular verse without downloading the full recitation, I cannot do so, since if I tap the audio button, the app first downloads the whose Surah, then plays the verse.

The previous behaviour where the verse was played from online without downloading was very, very useful :(

It was mandatory previously as well. The difference was that it would download verse by verse, now it is chapter by chapter.

The previous method had plenty of issues including inaccuracies. The new method makes it possible to support all the new features that have been released.

Once downloaded, it plays offline afterwards. I will look into how it can be further improved.
