This is a questionable app on who owns this app ### 4/5 — Excellent app *2026-08-06, version 5.7* Please make the translation optional asap otherwise very good app ### 2/5 — Don’t recommend this app version *2026-07-22, version 5.7* Alhamdulillah. Nice app for tracking prayer times, although I don’t appreciate how the wording constantly changes. ### 2/5 — Um *2026-06-27, version 5.7* This app could be better. When I am using the Quibla direction part. It is very very inaccurate. And not to mention the way the Quran is translated is NOT how it is translated in the Quran. There’s extra parts and parts missing. I ended up just going to Quran.com to read. Please fix it ### 5/5 — the best app *2026-06-12, version 5.7* إن شاء الله! ### 5/5 — Typo in 2:97 *2026-06-07* Very good app but insallah you can review this: 2:97 The 10. letter should be ,,li” instead la + only one ,,l” instead of double ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-06, version 5.7* Very essential book 🌞⚪️ ### 5/5 — Simple & Elegant *2026-05-22, version 5.7* Simple yet detailed app. Transliteration along with translation. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2026-05-21, version 5.7* I am in the process of finding Islam for myself as a born Muslim. This app has taught me so much, thank you for making the Quran easier to read and digest. The daily verses have felt like a gift each. ### 5/5 — Help during Ramadan *2026-05-21, version 5.7* I was getting a cigar one evening talked with the clerk and he was Muslim and me a catholic I wanted to read the Quran even though I still read my bible it’s great seeing and enjoying both ### 4/5 — Suggestion to add *2026-05-13, version 5.7* There is no way to contact you therefore had to write this as a review. Is there any way you can create a lock on a page as in it doesn’t swipe right to another Surah while reading one Surah. When I am reading on a iPad and swipe up to continue reading, the page keeps going to next page instead and keeps swiping right to the next Surah. It’s really annoying and can losing the spot I was reading. Sorry if it’s too much to ask for. Just a request, thank you and May Allah swt bless you for creating this amazing App. ### 5/5 — Beautiful Holy Quran App *2026-05-08, version 5.7* Listening to the Quran being read is very helpful for me. Thank you to developers. ### 2/5 — Needs a disclaimer may be from incomplete Quran Manuscript.. *2026-05-08, version 5.7* There is so much to gain in wisdom from the Quran, especially when it relates back to Old Testament and New Testament as sources. Ultimately what is considered perfect in belief/obedience is in the Commandments. Which are found in Duetorodomy, Chapter 5 for the Commands/Commandments/Ten Commandments (synonyms).. otherwise very nice app, much improved, but needs Reference Quran like Bible Versions/New Quran Translations.. and languages. This version seems to be limited by the original Quran manuscripts.. especially at Suruh 2 Al-Baqarah (Al-Boqoro), good but incomplete.. Overall this Quran App may get A++ for effort but only two stars for its marginal progressive steps forward. Everyone has embraced emerging and innovated features in their prospective Bible Apps, let’s us hope these developers are just getting started. Thank you.. Pro Tip: A copy and paste function for educational purposes.. Suggestion: Maybe start a forums/clubs and generate interest in building new reference Quran version databases, doesn’t hurt to try. More LIGHT in the world is much appreciated.. God/Allah will Bless you, thanks for your time reading this review.. ### 4/5 — The benefactions of your LORD *2026-05-03, version 5.7* This is one of the greatest reminders. ### 5/5 — 2:259 commentary correction *2026-04-30, version 5.7* As-Salaamu alaikum. Love the app. On Surah 2:259, you have Ezekiel as the one Allah is referring to regarding the 100 years sleep. It should be reviewed, as this ayat was referring to Ezra (Uzair) not Ezekiel. ### 5/5 — Praise God *2026-04-20, version 5.7* Excellent ### 5/5 — Simple software update request *2026-04-16, version 5.7* Can we please get a timer feature for listening to the Quran. I want it to stop playing after a certain time if I fall asleep while listening. ### 5/5 — The Holy Quran - English *2026-04-14, version 5.6.9* Very good translations, easy to use. Thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad translation *2026-05-02, version 5.7* Words are changed, this is very dangerous. ### 1/5 — Terrible… *2026-03-29, version 5.6.9* At first, I really did enjoy it. I loved reading all of the Quran verses and memorizing them! But after a while, one of my Christian friends told me the verses were the same as the bible verses she read!!! So I asked my mom, and she told me the verses in the app are all from the bible!! ### 1/5 — AVOID: PROPAGANDA TRANSLATION *2025-11-08, version 5.6.3* This is propaganda translation to misguide people seeking the truth and it's also stealing your financial information. It could be a virus too. Use better translations (Sahih International and The Clear Quran from Quran.com). The disbelievers would never be successful! ### 1/5 — Please fix app *2025-10-06, version 5.6.3* Please fix app so people can actually use and enjoy it ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-10-05* Everytime there is an update it comes with new problems . Now auto location for salah times doesn’t work anymore. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-06-08, version 5.6.3* I read and realized Jesus is God and Muhammad is a rapist and had 9 wife’s !! ### 1/5 — ugh *2025-05-26, version 5.6.2* its always glitching, never works ### 1/5 — Apple Watch *2025-05-13, version 5.6.1* The surah is not showing on the Holy Quran app. When it is downloaded on the Apple Watch? ### 1/5 — Still issues *2025-04-15, version 5.6.1* I love the English commentary, the Arabic nor Transliteration came up. We love the format but without the Arabic there are issues with proper understanding. Thanks for the big efforts. Keep trying. ### 1/5 — Avoid this app *2025-04-02, version 5.6.1* At first glance, I loved the app. I’ve read the English translation of the Quran many times and I’ve read many different publications of the English Quran and this one just feels off. They’ve given translation for the words alif lam meem where there should not be translation (only Allah knows what these words mean) so that was the first red flag. Within the commentary there’s a lot of information that’s contradictory where it even states, it is punishable to try and translate these words. There shouldn’t be any red flags when reading the Quran, rather there should be peace in your heart that you’re reading something that’s accurate. This app didn’t fill be with peace rather doubt. So because of that I shall be staying away from this app and I would advise you do the same. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App *2026-09-06, version 5.7* The app was working great but since the update it keeps on crashing, 1 book mark turns into 4 bookmark for the same ayah. Unsure but gradually the app is losing its spark many more. Overall the app is A+ ### 5/5 — The Holy Quran -English *2026-09-05, version 5.7* Times evolve and this Quaran leads the way. ### 5/5 — The World Of God *2026-09-02, version 5.7* Heaven is where God Stays ### 5/5 — Wow! *2026-09-01, version 5.7* No money fee also just amaaxinghhh ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-21, version 5.7* This is, without a doubt, the best Holy Quran app available. The interface is clean, beautifully designed, and completely distraction-free, making daily reading and reflection an absolute joy. Here are a few features that make it stand out: * Flawless Audio Recitations: The variety of world-renowned Qaris is amazing. The audio plays smoothly, and the word-by-word highlighting makes following along and improving Tajweed effortless. * Comprehensive Translations & Tafsir: Having access to multiple clear translations and detailed Tafsir side-by-side helps deepen understanding tremendously. * Intuitive Navigation: Finding specific Surahs, Ayahs, or Juz is lightning fast. Bookmarking and note-taking features are seamless for personal study. * Thoughtful Extras: The daily verse notifications, customizable reading goals, and offline access make it easy to stay consistent wherever you are. It is clear how much care, respect, and effort went into developing this app. May Allah reward the developers and everyone involved in bringing this incredible resource to the Ummah. Highly, highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Thankful *2026-08-16, version 5.7* I love it, having it on my phone is clutch. ### 5/5 — Dugus *2026-08-15, version 5.7* Good for dugis ### 5/5 — An Honest Review *2026-08-05, version 5.7* I reverted after downloading this.

Alhamdulillah💕😊 ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-01, version 5.7* I ❤️ ICP!! ### 5/5 — Holy Quran *2026-07-28, version 5.7* I love this book --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
