But it has few issues that should be resolved. First issues is, the reading mode is broken in IOS. Getting an error like this : Error bad state : the input is not exists. Second issues is reading history preservation doesn't always work. Those types of issues should be caught by the QA team. ### 4/5 — Rich but yet to be done *2026-08-22, version 1.15.7* Assalamu Alaikum. This application is great because it is 1. Add free, 2. very easy and simple presentation, 3. Language diversity and rich contents 4. In options 'Note View’ and unique ‘book mark’ systems, 5. 'Word by word’ meaning, roots of the arabic words and statistics, and finally 6. Quick scrolling facilities. But still two things you have to do, to make it great: 1. 'Highlighter’ must be added to highlight any particular segments or words of the system and 2. Tafheemul quran, Bangla must be integrate to the system. May Allah be kind upon you. ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-08-19, version 1.16.14* Everything is perfect, and word to word translation is a loott more helpful as well as the tafsirs. One thing I’d suggest to add is adjustment of text size as eyes get strained when reading the tafsir, due to the small size text. ### 5/5 — iPad window disappearing issues *2026-07-24, version 1.16.13* While reciting Quran, when I try to open the side bar or the top bar for additional options or to go to another chapter, that menu automatically disappears. It is happening repeatedly. Please fix this. ### 4/5 — i face a problem *2026-07-22, version 1.16.13* This app is just awsome.But recently i cannot find the tazweed marks. what is the issue???? ### 5/5 — Amazing Alhamdulillah! *2026-07-22, version 1.16.13* I don’t think I even need to say how much this app has helped me change my iman and connection with the Quran in an unbelievably powerful and beautiful way! But this review is mainly to give some feedback on some aspects inshallah, 1. I love the new tafsir and it’s improvements, though, my only dislike is that the tafsir are now in grouped together, where one tafsir covers 1-2, even up to 3-4 ayahs, which is convenient, but not effective in my opinion to truly have space for every single ayah to have their own tafsir and for me atleast, is very inconvenient and not comfortable/easy to get the hang of 2. The constant seemingly random logging off of accounts: What I mean by this is thst one day, I will open the app, and see, I would be completely logged off of my acc by random, no doing of my own, and my progress would all be gone, streak, hours, etc, though which is not the main point of the app, eventually, even when I would log back in, my streak would still be 0 or hundreds of days down from my original number Ex: Before glitch: 50 day streak, After glitch: 12 day streak ### 3/5 — The new update messed up everything *2026-07-18, version 1.16.13* Updates messed up. ### 3/5 — Word by word for bangla breaking *2026-07-17, version 1.16.13* Word by word for bangla making arabic words breaking . One harf going up another down ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-07-12, version 1.16.13* I really do recommend this app to anyone it is absolutely amazing. This last change my setting on my iPad to where I cannot have the Arabic and the word for word at the same time. ### 3/5 — The arabic is looking a bit weird *2026-07-11, version 1.16.13* Assalam alaikum. For last few days the arabic fonts of this quran app looks a bit broken. I am using indo pak font. Please provide a fix for it. I wish I could send a screenshot some how. ### 5/5 — Love the App but there are glitches *2026-07-11, version 1.16.13* Thank you for the updated planner which includes the dates! The new Tafseer is very glitchy and makes things repetitive with each Arabic aya. Prior to update, the Tafseer corresponded with the Arabic aya properly without the continuous repeats. ### 5/5 — Font issue *2026-07-11, version 1.16.13* This app is wonderful. With new updates the font is broken - a single word splits into new line. ### 4/5 — Word by word for bangla making arabic words breaking . One harf going up another down *2026-07-10, version 1.16.13* Word by word for bangla making arabic words breaking . One harf going up another down ### 5/5 — Please change so last word in ayah shows translation *2026-07-08, version 1.16.13* Great app but please change it so that even you press the last word in an ayah, it only shows the translation of that single word rather than the translation of the entire ayah. The translation of the entire ayah should only be when you press the end-of-ayah symbol. ### 5/5 — ماشآء الله *2026-07-04, version 1.16.13* جزاك الله خيراً ☝️🫡 ### 5/5 — best quran app honestly *2026-07-04, version 1.16.13* i love this app i use it everyday, my perfect app. the only thing is that they used to have a feature where when you paused the recitation then when you would unpause it would take you straight to the beginning of that ayah. i love this feature but they changed it for fair and obvious reason/ issues that people had with it. but if anyone from the team is reading this, i would love for you guys to introduce this feature back somewhere. JazaakumAllaah khayr ### 5/5 — I adore this app *2026-07-03, version 1.16.13* It’s one of the best apps for reading and memorizing the Quran. I’ve been using this app for years and it’s part of my everyday routine. Highly recommended to everyone. ### 5/5 — Buggg *2026-07-03, version 1.16.13* Best app so far. Fix the buggs in book marks. On ios. ### 5/5 — Mas Allah *2026-06-30, version 1.15.7* Nice App ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Arabic words appear broken in Surah, was not there before. *2026-07-11, version 1.16.13* I have been using this amazing app for the past few years, until recently the scripture has some sentences broken and difficult to read. I tried everything without any luck. Any suggestion would be great. ### 1/5 — Danger & big mistake !!!🛑🛑🛑✋✋✋🚫🚫🚫⛔️⛔️⛔️ *2026-06-29, version 1.16.12* Surah Al Shams last verse is wrong ### 1/5 — I lost all my data saved on library after the new update *2026-06-04, version 1.16.12* I lost all my data saved on library after the new update. All my favorited ayahs were gone and pinned ayah’s too. The app didn’t send any warning notifications before I hit the update button. It just showed that app needs to be updated. And I checked support link and there is no way I can recover it. Really sad. Later I emailed as per the direction on the app but it was no help. ### 1/5 — Empty pages *2026-05-06, version 1.16.11* In indo pak version of mushaf there are empty pages example in juz 2 the half of juz 2 ### 1/5 — Software *2026-05-03, version 1.16.10* There are some software bugs in their latest updated version ### 1/5 — Mistake found in the Android app on Tablet *2026-04-22, version 1.16.10* Al-Taubah, 9:57, the Arabic word “Malja’an” (refuge), shows kasratain under the Hamza, it should be fathatain. The apple version of the app is fine, only the android has this mistake. And Allah knows best. This only appears on my tablet, not on my phone. I’ve tried changing font size in Arabic, but the kasratain remains. Same problem detected in Surah Ya-Sin, Ayat 82, on my Android tablet. The word “Shay’an” is showing kasratain under the Hamza. It should be Fathatain. This issue does not occur on my iphone, only on the tablet version. Same problem in Surat Al-Jathiyah 45:9, where the word shay’an is printed as shay-in. Same problem in 48:11, 53:26, 58:10, 58:17… Why is Mishary al-Afasy still listed as a reciter? After calling for the genocidal destruction of our brothers and sisters in Iran, he should be banned from this platform. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2026-04-22, version 1.16.10* Used to be the best Quran app on App Store then they updated it. Lots of bugs but biggest issue is going back to last read ### 1/5 — DO NOT UPDATE-worse day of my life *2026-03-07, version 1.16.9* If the pop ups continue, this will be promptly deleted. Do you really think I’m Going to donate to an app that interrupts me with pop ups to donate? You’re insane. And you’ve managed this app fine without this and now all of a sudden you need money to maintain the app? Get out of here. I literally came to this app because of this trash, looks like I’m going to need another app. ### 1/5 — Other apps are better *2026-03-07, version 1.16.9* The app adds the incorrect reading time and the number of ayah per Surah is incorrect! ### 1/5 — Many of options crashes in iPhone *2026-03-06, version 1.16.9* It works great with Android but crashes very often in iPhone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best Quran app I have experienced *2026-08-26, version 1.15.7* Thank you for creating this ad free app. I love that I have access to all the reciters and their different forms of reciting. The tafir is also great. ### 5/5 — The best Quran app ever. *2026-08-24, version 1.16.14* No advertising on this app perfectly designed thank you for your service! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-24, version 1.16.14* Everything I needed to start learning every word has been made so easy.

Says bad input state for full page mushaf, can you fix? *2026-08-10, version 1.16.14* I also can't see the hizb when I'm in full page anymore after a latest update, can we fix that ? It's important for how most people read their daily portion ### 5/5 — Exquisite Grammar *2026-08-01, version 1.16.14* Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Tala Wa Barakatuh.
