Arabic Unlocked review
A mobile Arabic course pairing guided practice with Quran-focused tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Arabic Unlocked is a mobile learning app for beginners and other learners who want to build Arabic skills for everyday communication, reading, listening or Quran study. Its lessons are designed around bite-sized guided instruction, with practice in letters, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. The combination of general Arabic learning and Quran mode makes it particularly suited to learners who want both foundations and Quran-focused study, rather than a course limited to one of those aims.
Practice and language support are central to the app’s approach. Spaced repetition, flashcards and recall activities revisit vocabulary, while Word Builder activities support vocabulary work. Learners can practice speaking and pronunciation with native-speaker audio, and grammar explanations cover root patterns. Quran mode focuses on word-by-word understanding. XP, streaks, challenges and leaderboards add progress and challenge mechanics. The app is available on iOS and Android; its listed deployment is mobile, so learners seeking a desktop-based course should look elsewhere.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, Premium Monthly costs £9.99 per month, Premium Six-monthly costs £47.99 per six months, and Premium Yearly costs £58.99 per year. Each includes all lessons, unlimited practice and all features unlocked, with a 7-day free trial; there is no published unlimited free tier. Two focused courses—Know What You Say When You Pray and Unlocking the Phrases of the Quran—each cost £297 one time and include lifetime access. The company also offers teacher-led Academy study, but enrollment is waitlist-only. Arabic Unlocked fits learners willing to pay for guided mobile practice, especially those combining Arabic basics with Quran study; learners who need a free tier or non-mobile access should consider another option.
