Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Comprehensive Islamic Library at 4.4 against اقرأ's 3.9. Comprehensive Islamic Library also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 30 months) and ratings volume (63 vs 11). اقرأ's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Comprehensive Islamic Library holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comprehensive Islamic Library has 63 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of اقرأ's written reviews are positive against 71% of Comprehensive Islamic Library's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

اقرأ ships an update every 30 months, Comprehensive Islamic Library every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
