Dates selected for the permit are appearing as [selected date + 1 day] in the following screen after they are saved. I selected an Umrah permit for the date of Nov 22, but the active permits screen now shows Nov 23 as the day I’m going. Try explaining this discrepancy to the guards at Rawdah and see if they let you in (I know Umrah permits are rarely verified, but Rawdah is another matter). This bug is easily reproducible and it’s frustrating that an app of such consequence has this sort of bug.

App was installed with English language option and it worked for the first time in English. After that it opens in Arabic. There is no option to switch language. Tried to change language through Settings > Apps > Nusuk, didn’t work. Deleted and reinstalled it, didn’t work. Rebooted cell phone, didn’t work. Tried all over again, didn’t work. I have spent whole day trying to switch language to English, to no avail. Why is it so difficult to do a simple task? This app is very poorly designed for iOS. Also, there is no option to reach your profile in case you want to add family members. I will request Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, and Ministry of Tourism to get this app reviewed and fixed by real professional software house. Millions of people depend upon it and it should be flawless and intutive. There should be clear methods to add family members. Changing language of app should be as easy as to click on select a language button. I hope someone will hear this complaint.

#1- you are able to book a umrah visa without this app. If I didn’t speak to others I would not have know this was needed. As it wasn’t needed the last time I did umrah in 2020 #2- when you go to Mecca the only place that checks if you have visa/permit is on the road to Mecca. If you’re a man all you have to do is be dressed in ihram and you can get into the main floor with no questions anytime during your visit. You don’t have to do it during your “time” on the permit. Women can come and go as they please with no checks of an umrah permit. #3- when booking for rawda I was only able to book the day before we arrived to madina because the app only releases 1 week at a time for the following week after the jumah (Friday) prayer. You would think with a time slot reserved you’d be able to spend more than 30 seconds visiting the rasoul but that’s all you get as men, we are cattled through and yelled at by the guards on a power trip. And women do not even get to see visit the rasoul, you only get to the rawda. Our women deserve better than this. Overall the idea is good but execution and everything is below poor. More work is needed to improve this app and make it more useable and understandable.
