There are 17 chapters on Islamic Economics which are explained in this application. Each chapter is further divided into several sub-chapters so that the explanation of this application's material can be pretty complete. The advantage of this application is that the Islamic Economics material provided is quite complete. The drawback lies in the limited features selected by the user. That's because there is only a "search" feature in this application. Then the keywords that can type in "search" are only the same as the name "Chapter".
2. Hukum Ekonomi Islam This book & reference category application is like a book on Islamic Economic Law in the form of a soft file that can be used as a learning reference. ImamStudio offers this application. Released on November 6, 2017, and to download it only requires 8.29 MB. This application has been downloaded over ten thousand times and rated 4.7⭐ . This application contains material about Islamic Economic Law. There are 8 main chapters discussed in this application material. Each chapter is further divided into several sub-chapters. The material explained in each subchapter is also quite a lot and dense. Apart from that, there is also material other than Islamic Economic Law, including material on jinns, almsgiving, the sunnah of the prophet, prayers etc. The advantage of this application is that it not only provides material on Islamic Economic Law but also explains other Islamic material. The researcher believes this application's drawback is that a new screen display does not appear when the "Menu" column is selected. Then there are still typos in this application.

This application has been downloaded more than a thousand times and has a rating of 4.7⭐ . This application provides little material about Islamic Economics, and even then, it only contains tiny arguments from the Al-Quran and Hadith about Islamic Economics. Most of the material in this application is a collection of prayer readings. It is a prayer related to worship and daily life. The advantage of this application is that it not only provides material about the hadiths of Islamic Economics but also explains other Islamic material. Researchers argue that the weakness of this application is the inconsistent name of the application with the content in it. The application's name says "the complete hadith on Islamic economics," but the hadith material on Islamic economics is very little.

There is also a "History" option which shows which terms the user selected/read the last time he used the application. Similar to the previous application, when an attempt was made to search for the term Islamic economics by using all the letters of the alphabet, only the terms from the letters v and x were missing.

The researcher argues that the application's weakness is not finding the "add new word" menu. Even though the information contained in this application is conveyed that users can add new words. Then there is still a typo in the Bookmark feature. This application is like an ebook containing material about Islamic economics. There are 21 chapters discussed in this application-submission of the material on the application in the form of direct reading material and question-and-answer reading material. The material provided is quite complete. The advantage of this application is that it not only provides material on Islamic Economics but also explains material on economic practices in everyday life from a sharia perspective, for example, Multi Level Marketing and dropshipping. The researcher argues that the drawback of this application is that the appearance of the application is too monotonous, as shown in the image below.
