- New: Listen has a Reciter choice: Yasser Al-Dossary (default), Yasser Salamah, Mishary Alafasy or Fares Abbad.
- Fix: the high-pitched ticking heard in some of Yasser Al-Dossary's audio files (Taha 47-135 and others) is filtered out.
- New: About > Updates can follow Beta versions (every update); unticked, Meddeb offers only the stable versions.
- New: press the microphone while the speech model is still loading: Meddeb listens at once and catches up once ready.
- Change: updates download much less, and the speech model and reciters' audio are kept in Android's cache.
- Change: Review: a failed card comes back after 45 min; cards on neighbouring ayat are one card; new button order.
- New: Listen shows how long the range plays; pause between plays 6 s, a 3 s fade-out; Review's play follows Repeat.
- Change: the alarm threshold is a slider with precision and recall; Optimize sits under the speech model.
- Change: the bar reads search, microphone, next ayah, next word; hint buttons turn pale green when a press counts as read.
- Change: wider messages with an X; Blind's empty ayah sign; Stats and Progress reordered; Al-Fatiha leaves the Manzil.

- Fix: the app no longer freezes after a tap on a word (0.28 locked the whole screen, the microphone button too).
- Fix: a single tap on a word opens its details again, also during a recitation.
- Fix: the hizb quarter, juz and sajda marks now show above their words (0.28 never drew them).

Install
- On the phone, tap the download link above.
- Open the downloaded file (from the browser's notification or the Downloads folder).
- The first time, Android asks to allow the browser (or the file app) to install unknown apps: Settings → Allow from this source, then go back.
- Tap Install.
- Open Meddeb. The first start takes up to a minute, and Meddeb then downloads its speech model (about 130 MB) by itself.
Updates
Meddeb looks at this website by itself (when you open About, and after 10 minutes of use). When a new version is here, the menu ☰ ends with Update 0.10 → 0.11: a tap downloads it and installs it (the first time, Android asks you to allow Meddeb to install apps). You can also install a newer file from this page over the old one. Your profile and the speech model stay.
Never uninstall to update: uninstalling deletes your profile (your recordings, marks and progress). Settings → Export profile keeps a copy first.
In the car (Android Auto)
Android Auto shows an app that does not come from Google Play only while its own Unknown sources setting is on: Settings → Connected devices → Android Auto, tap Version about 10 times and confirm, then ⋮ → Developer settings → Unknown sources.
