How can we help?

Premium opens the full dictionary entry for each word (its parts, root, related words, every meaning and its forms), unlimited flashcards, unlimited quizzes, your own decks and bulk editing. The book, the reader, word audio and Focus mode are free.

New subscribers to the yearly plan get 7 days free. You won’t be charged if you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Otherwise the yearly subscription starts automatically when the trial ends. Each Apple Account or Google Account can use the trial once.

On iPhone, Apple manages your subscription. Open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Maktabati and tap Cancel Subscription.

On Android, Google Play manages it. Open the Play Store, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions and Subscriptions, choose Maktabati and tap Cancel subscription.

You keep Premium until the end of the period you have paid for.

Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.

Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by us. On iPhone, ask at reportaproblem.apple.com. On Android, follow Google Play’s refund help.

On iPhone, make sure you are signed in with the Apple Account you subscribed with. Then open the Premium screen in Maktabati (for example Upgrade to Premium in Profile) and tap Restore.

On Android, make sure the Play Store is using the Google Account you subscribed with, then tap Restore Purchases in Profile.

If it still isn’t working, email us and we will help.

We are adding full dictionary entries chapter by chapter. Every word already has its translation, transliteration and audio, and its full entry will appear when its chapter is added.

While reading, tap Aa at the top of the page to choose a font and text size.

On iPhone, Focus uses Apple’s Screen Time. In the Focus tab, check that Screen Time access is allowed, that you have chosen your Limited apps, and that Block at zero is on. If you turned off Screen Time access in Settings, allow it again from the Focus tab.

On Android, Focus uses the Accessibility service. In the Focus tab, check that Accessibility access, Display over other apps and Run in the background are allowed, that you have chosen your Limited apps, and that Block at zero is on. Some phones stop apps in the background to save battery, so if Focus stops counting, allow Maktabati again from the Focus tab.

Your flashcards, decks and progress are stored on your phone. On iPhone, they move to a new iPhone when you restore it from an iCloud or computer backup of your old one. On Android, they move when you restore your new phone from your Google backup or copy your data across from your old phone. Deleting the app deletes them.

There is no account to create. The book, dictionary and word audio are inside the app, so you can read offline. You need a connection to subscribe or restore a purchase.
