Quran apps for Android cover a wide range of needs: Arabic text with multiple recitation styles, translations in dozens of languages, tafsir (Quranic commentary), prayer times, qibla direction, and Islamic reference resources. This guide is the ten apps worth installing with a focus on translation, audio, and offline-support quality.
A reasonable approach: Quran.com’s app or one of the strong free alternatives for daily reading, a separate prayer-times-and-qibla app, and a tafsir reference app for deeper study. Three apps cover most users’ needs.
The category is mature. Most major apps have settled into clear lanes: simple-and-clean reading apps, comprehensive study apps with tafsir, and ad-free paid alternatives for users who prefer to pay rather than see ads.
TL;DR
Best fit: For daily reading: Quran.com app, Muslim Pro, or Ayah. All three offer Arabic text, multiple translations, and quality audio recitation.
Good alternative: For study with tafsir: Quran by Quran.com (formerly Tarteel) or the iQuran app for serious students.
Skip if: You want a free app with no ads or in-app purchases; Quran.com’s official app is genuinely free and ad-free.
1. Quran.com App (Quran by Quran.com)
Best for: the official Quran.com app with the most polished UI.
Score: 9 / 10.

2. Muslim Pro
Best for: the all-in-one Muslim app with Quran, prayer times, and qibla.
Score: 8 / 10.
Muslim Pro bundles Quran reading, prayer times, qibla compass, daily duas, and Islamic calendar into one app. the data-sale controversy (the company sold user location data) led to a privacy-policy overhaul; the current version is much improved but the history is worth knowing.
Pricing: Free with ads, Premium $50 per year.
3. Ayah – Quran App
Best for: the minimalist privacy-focused Quran app.
Score: 8 / 10.
Ayah is a clean, ad-free, no-tracking Quran app with a focus on the reading experience. Arabic text, several translations, and audio recitation. Less feature-rich than Muslim Pro but with a much cleaner privacy posture.
Pricing: Free.
4. iQuran
Best for: serious study with extensive tafsir and word-by-word translation.
Score: 8 / 10.

5. Tarteel
Best for: the AI-powered Quran memorization assistant.
Score: 9 / 10.
Tarteel uses voice recognition to follow along as you recite, marking errors and tracking your memorization progress. the update added improved AI accuracy for non-native Arabic speakers. The free tier handles daily use; the paid tier adds memorization-coaching features.
Pricing: Free with limits, Premium $7 per month or $50 per year.
6. Quran Pro
Best for: simple Quran reading with offline support.
Score: 7 / 10.
Quran Pro is a long-running ad-supported Quran app with offline Arabic text and audio. Less polished than Quran.com but reliable and well-known.

7. Pray (formerly Athan)
Best for: prayer times and qibla without the Quran-app feature bloat.
Score: 8 / 10.

8. Holy Quran
Best for: simple, free, ad-supported Quran reading.
Score: 7 / 10.
Holy Quran from Pakdata is a clean ad-supported Quran app with reliable offline support. Less feature-rich than the bigger names but solid for users who just want to read.
9. Dua App (Hisn al-Muslim)
Best for: the daily duas and supplication reference.
Score: 8 / 10.
Hisn al-Muslim is the classic daily duas reference, available as an app with Arabic, transliteration, and translations. Useful as a companion to a Quran app rather than a replacement.
10. Quranic – Learn Quran and Arabic
Best for: structured Quranic Arabic learning.
Score: 8 / 10.
Quranic teaches the Quran word-by-word and Quranic Arabic grammar through structured lessons. Different from the reading-and-recitation apps; the use case is learning to understand the Arabic, not just reading the text.

FAQ
Which Quran app is most accurate for translation?
The translation quality depends on the translator, not the app. Sahih International, Pickthall, Yusuf Ali, and Mufti Taqi Usmani are all commonly available in the apps above. For scholarly study, side-by-side comparison of translations is the right approach.
Are the Quran apps free?
Most have a free tier that handles daily reading. Quran.com is fully free with no in-app purchases. Muslim Pro and Tarteel offer paid subscriptions for premium features. iQuran has a $5 one-time Pro tier.
What about ad-free Quran apps?
Quran.com and Ayah are both ad-free at the free tier. For users who want a clean ad-free experience without paying, these are the right picks.
Can I memorize Quran with these apps?
Tarteel is the dedicated memorization app with AI-powered recitation tracking. iQuran and Quran.com have bookmark and progress-tracking features useful for memorization but not as specialized.
What about Islamic calendar and Ramadan features?
Muslim Pro and Pray both include Islamic calendar features. For Ramadan specifically, most apps add Ramadan-mode features (suhoor and iftar times, special daily duas, Taraweeh prayer reminders).
Should I be concerned about app privacy?
For Muslim Pro, the data-sale controversy is worth knowing about (and the privacy policy has been improved since). Quran.com and Ayah have stronger privacy postures from the start. For broader app privacy guidance, see the editor’s Android privacy and security checklist.
The verdict
Quran apps for Android are mature. The category has settled into clear lanes: comprehensive all-in-one apps (Muslim Pro), clean reading-focused apps (Quran.com, Ayah), study-focused apps (iQuran), and specialty apps (Tarteel for memorization, Quranic for Arabic learning).
For most users, Quran.com’s official app plus a dedicated prayer-times app (Pray or Muslim Pro) covers daily reading, prayer times, and qibla. Two apps, both with free tiers, both well-maintained.
For deeper study, add iQuran for tafsir and Tarteel for memorization. The right stack depends on whether you need pure reading, study with commentary, or active memorization. The apps above all serve their lanes well.
