## What is Quran Reader HD?

Quran Reader HD brings the beautiful Words of Allah to the iPad - an exquisite app giving you an interactive way to read, listen to and study the Quran.  

Simply tap and hold on an ayah to play the recitation, create a note, view the translation or view the tafseer.


* Verse-by-verse Recitation  & Background Audio*
Use the audio feature to listen to the beautiful recitation of Sheikh Abdelbasit Abdelsamad. If you're interested in memorization you can set it to automatically repeat each verse as it goes or have it repeat the entire selection. You can choose a specific group of ayahs to play or listen to the end of the surah or continue on and play the entire Quran. Quran Reader will highlight each verse as you listen to the recitation, letting you follow along and improve your reading skills. Listen to the Quran in the car or on the go even when your iPad is locked with background audio.

* Tafseer & Translation *
Increase your knowledge by studying the translation and tafseer accompanying each verse. Simply tap and hold on a verse to access the menu where you can bring up the translation or the Tafseer to allow you to fully understand and appreciate a verse. Quran Reader offers English translation and commentary from Sheikh Mawdudi's "Toward Understanding the Quran", French translation and Tafseer in Arabic (Tafseer Al-Jalalain). You can also switch to translation/tafseer only mode for those interested on studying the Quran intently.

* Notes & Bookmarks *
Connect with the power of the message by using the notes feature to record your thoughts about a verse. You can also bookmark a page to quickly access it later or mark your progress as you read through the Quran. You can even export your data so you have full control over the notes and bookmarks you make in Quran Reader HD. You can now sync your last read page with iCloud, allowing you to start reading on one device and then resume on another.

* Beautiful Interface *
The intuitive interface is easy to use and lets you engage with the Quran. Turn the pages like a real book, and simply touch to drop the bookmark and save your place.
