When I went to set up goal for khatam, I noticed the transliteration is off. This will confuse people and I tried to submit to support on website but will not let me log in or update password. I paid for the full version. ### 3/5 — Translation needs to be polished/ reviewed *2026-06-20* For Surah Fajr verse 14, Dr Khattab translates it as “For your Lord is truly vigilant.” The word vigilant cannot be used for Allah. According to Oxford the meaning is “Keeping a careful watch for dangers and difficulties”. Merriam Webster states “alertly watchful to avoid danger”. Allah is not in a need to avoid dangers, far exalted is He to be described as such. Arberry, Pickthall, Abdul Haleem all use the word “Watchful’ for this verse. Dr Khattab should utilize the services of native English speakers who have the mastery of the English language to review the translation so these mistakes can be corrected in the next edition. ### 2/5 — Review *2026-04-06* Whenever I search up a Surah it says it isn’t there for example: Surah Borooj. When I search that up, no trace of it… and when I CANT do wudu but to read I can’t find my surahs because according to this app they don’t exist ! ### 3/5 — Premium fees *2026-04-03* Honestly, this Qur’an app looks a lot like the actual book. The thing i dislike about it is how much we’re denied access to without paying. Astaghfirullah we shouldn’t make people pay to have access to Qur’an. You would in sha Allah have so many blessings from allowing people to be guided from this Qur’an. We cannot see the tafsir and notes explaining the verses, which is honestly disappointing because in the paper version you can, and Qur’an apps are extremely useful, especially for a woman. Anyways, the app is good but it could be greater. ### 2/5 — Wallpaper where? *2026-03-17, version 3.0.7* Assalamuwalaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatahu I see that one of the reference images for the app has the custom wallpaper option. I would like to know how can we access that? I don’t find anything in the interface for it. ### 2/5 — Glitching *2026-03-13, version 3.0.7* The app was working great but starting today I cannot play an ayah or a surah on demand. It’s glitching and needs to be fixed esp for the paid subscribers. ### 2/5 — Disappointed with the app. *2026-03-12* Excellent English translation. Unfortunately let down by the poor application of the app. Needs improvement. Playback didn’t work, difficult to use, ### 3/5 — Great easy app *2026-02-24, version 3.0.7* Great easy app and I was enjoying it but then they made indo pak Quran text a premium feature and I can no longer read the Arabic text with proper rules . Please return the Arabic script options ### 5/5 — The app is great *2025-09-01* But please please take night mode off the premium. It makes the app inaccessible for a lot of us. **Developer response:** JazakAllah Khair for your feedback! We're grateful for your input and will share it with our team Insha'Allah. ### 5/5 — Happy *2025-08-11, version 3.0.7* Simple. Contemporary ### 5/5 — Amazing 😊😊😊 *2025-07-26* This app is amazing, Mashallah, there is so much you can learn from it, and the translations are very clear, my only frustration about it is that I have to upgrade to Premium for the footnotes, but other than that, Mashallah, Jazakum Allahu Khayran, may Allah bless you and your family, and protect your dean!! **Developer response:** JazakAllah Khair for your kind words. We're truly grateful for your feedback and happy to hear that our app is beneficial to you. Thank you for your suggestion and for sharing your experience with us. ### 3/5 — Not sync *2025-05-29* My profile in my ipad and my phone is not sync. What I save in my ipad not saved in my phone. Hopefully can improve on that🫶🏼 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you reporting the synchronization issue between your devices. This matter has been noted and shared with our team for review as we continue to improve the app’s performance and reliability. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s unfortunate *2026-02-27* I used to love this app so much. Ever since the update, it just hasn’t been the same. I saw all the reviews but tried to stick with it. I finally reached my limit this Ramadan as I’m noticing it continues to glitch and puts ayahs in the in correct order or has incomplete surahs. I’m so disappointed. This was a core part of life. IsA things get fixed for everyone who remains and new users. ### 1/5 — Bring back the old app *2026-02-18* I agree with Israyussuf. I’m also a loyal customer. The new app is not intuitive and has no flow. It now looks like all the other Quran apps, clumsy and onerous. Please give us at the very least the option of the old app. It was quite perfect and I could go through it very easily and quickly. I have stopped using your app since the update. You are losing faithful customers and it’s truly a shame since you had the best Quran app. ### 1/5 — Can’t access my subscription *2026-01-30* This is the second year I have subscribed but I am unable to access complete app. This time I subscribed via Apple. Please guide. ### 1/5 — New update is horrible *2026-01-21, version 3.0.7* I loved the app until this update. I was reading tracking each juz, now it looks like that isn’t an option to view anymore even with a pro membership. Please fix specially in Ramadan people read one juz per day I will update to 5 stars just wanted to get feedback to developer ### 1/5 — Missing footnotes *2025-10-27, version 3.0.7* I paid for the subscription to be able to see footnotes but they are missing and not visible! Fix this please ### 1/5 — The worst upgrade this app could've received, in SO many ways. *2025-05-06* Before this 'major' rehaul of an update, literally everything was as perfect. No bugs, no issues, no stutters, no features missing, nothing was hidden behind a monthly subscription. No problems whatsoever. But ever since this 'new design'—which is awful and completely useless btw, the experience has been nothing but unpleasant. But ofc, that's what you get when you put the most basic things behind a paywall i.e dark mode. I mean seriously? And the footnotes which is essentially one of the biggest features of The Clear Quran. Maybe make it a one time fee if money is of that much importance. But a monthly/yearly subscription model for spreading Knowledge on the cause of Allah is NOT the way. But oh well. Deleting this app anyway since it's filled with bugs rendering it nonfunctional. Very unfortunate to see it go down this way. May Allah guide us all. Ameen. **Developer response:** Salam, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We would like to clarify that The Clear Quran is operated as a non-profit project, and any subscription fees are used solely to support the project, not for personal profit. We are actively working to improve the experience. If you require any assistance, please feel free to contact us at tcqapps@furqaan.org. JazakAllah khair. ### 1/5 — The clear Quran App ! *2025-04-29* Even though this is the most amazing the Quran English translation I’ve ever read however the app is not great at all. About 60 Surahs only had about 10 to 4 Ayaat in them😞 so before you pay for the app please check every surah and make sure it has all the Ayaats . I have already reached out to technical team told him about the Issue since I’ve paid for the yearly subscription I am extremely disappointed. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback, Niewiaroski. We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused by the missing ayahs and understand your disappointment, especially after subscribing. This issue has been escalated to our technical team for resolution. Should the problem persist, please contact us at tcqapps@furqaan.org and we will be glad to assist you further. ### 1/5 — Please Read – From a Loyal Customer Who’s Heartbroken *2025-04-22* Please bring back the old version I hate this update. I’ve been using this app for years and truly loved it. I was one of your biggest supporters. I even recommended it to everyone and used it daily. But ever since the recent update, everything has changed… and not in a good way. The new version is confusing, overwhelming, and lacks everything that made the original so special. I cried when I saw the update. That’s how much this app meant to me. It’s devastating to see something I once loved turn into something I no longer recognize or enjoy. Please hear me out. I’m begging you to bring back the old version or at least give us the option to choose it. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’ve been a loyal user, and it breaks my heart to say this, but unless something changes, I can’t keep using the app. You had something beautiful. Please don’t let it be lost forever. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Iqra. We sincerely appreciate your long-standing support and loyalty. Your concerns regarding the recent update have been carefully noted and shared with our team for review. Feedback from dedicated users is very important to us as we continue to evaluate and improve the app experience. ### 1/5 — IndoPak script has mistakes *2025-04-19* Since the new update from where you have to pay to change from uthmani to indopak script there has been loads of mistakes. Developers need to proofread the IndoPak as maddah letters are missing the cues. **Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We take the accuracy of the Quranic text very seriously and regret the issues you encountered with the IndoPak script. Your feedback has been shared with our team for thorough review and correction. If you are still facing this issue, please reach out to us at tcqapps@furqaan.org, and we will be happy to assist you further. ### 1/5 — Please Read – From a Loyal Customer Who’s Heartbroken *2025-04-08* Please bring back the old version I hate this update.

Allahu Akhbar! I love that you provide the Arabic, Transliteration and English translation all in one (although the English does not fulfill the true words of Allah Subhana wa ta’ala, it is one of the best translations) May Allah make all Muslims reciters of the Qur’an in the language of Our Lord Ameen. I love the goals option and that you can create tabs! SubhanAllah, there is but one error that I noticed and it could be a loading error on my end. I tried multiple times, but received the same result; that is the introduction of Surat 85 & 86 are the same and it is not so in The Clear Qur’an hard copy. May Allah be pleased with your efforts and may you be rewarded immensely for your love of Islam ameen ### 5/5 — Minimal , Beautiful and Functional *2026-06-05* Highly recommend this app. Its clean , not clunky at all. No distractions which is huge! no 100 things in one app just the Quran in your hands ### 5/5 — The clear Quran *2026-03-10* Read it with ease without any issues. The only thing was to have to come of the Surah once completing the reading to go to next page which is a little annoying. Loved reading it read it twice during Ramadhan 2026. May Allah guide and my family and the rest of the Muslim Ummah. Keep us all safe during these testing times. Ameen ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-03-06, version 3.0.7* Amazing app, for daily recitation ### 5/5 — Best translation I have found. *2026-02-28, version 3.0.7* May Allah SWT reward all involved in making this and the readers. ### 5/5 — Highly recommend! *2026-02-15* Very good Quran app. Clear language, nice subtitles, access to Tafsir too. Highly recommend this app! There are a few very minor bugs but they don’t affect app usage. Is there any way to report them? ### 5/5 — This app is great! *2026-02-01* Clear translations just The Clear Quran Book very happy ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-01-31* There are some ayah’s are repeated in the Surah Muminoon. After ayah 27, if you scroll down take you to ayah 9 again till 17 then continues with ayah 28. Sajdah tilawat in indo-Pak script has very small Sajdah written, easy to miss. No symbol. ### 5/5 — One of the best english translations *2026-01-28, version 3.0.7* FYI for the app developers- footnotes of last few chapters not working kindly fix jazakallah khair ### 5/5 — The Best *2025-11-22, version 3.0.7* Absolutely love this transformative translation of Quran! It’s a great resource and very clear and concise. Thank you!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
