Quran Explorer Reviews

by Domintater257

A lot have people (regardless if I know them or not), have said that QuranExplorer is great for Quran. The updates have been great. Except for one. In the current version of QuranExplorer , you can listen to the first Juz only with the only free voice of Mishari Rashid. You can’t listen to any Juz, Surah, or Ayah from another Juz unless you pay. So to get to the point, when did this become an option ? Why do we have to pay just so we can listen to Quran. There are those of us that can’t pay for other voices in QuranExplorer . And now you want us to pay just so we can listen to 29 Juz ? Are you serious ? I mean, this can go so many ways:

1. You get more money
2. People would pay more
3. QuranExplorer costs more (in purchases)
4. People will not use your app

There are a lot of opinions on this, but I don’t have that much time to express mine’s as of now. My point is, please make it free to listen to the other 29 Juz of the Quran instead of paying.

Thanks if you ACTUALLY read this rating. Please take this into consideration.

The only reason that makes me give this amazing app 3 is the fact that there is something wrong with audio files for Mahmood Al-Bana. I have downloaded some sheikhs on my device so that I can listen to Qur'an offline. All reciters work fine except for Sheikh Al-Bana in Surat Al-Baqarq from Aya 96 to 113!
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the application many times but it didn’t work! I tried updating the files, but the same issue still exists. No matter the device is connected to the wifi or not, when it shifts from aya 96 to 97, it says “Network error. Invalid data received. Please try again”. I was hoping that V. 2.5 would include a fix for this bug, but it didn’t.
Please let me know when the issue is fixed so that I can review my rating cause I love QuranExplorer.

thanks to developers for the free good basic version that is also ad-free. Just few thoughts on possibly adding perks like daily duas, prayer times, hadiths and may be helpful self-tracking ideas for everyday supplication and reading in addition to more translations as a suggestion. Also, it would be good to have a tool to jump directly to certain ayah or surah without having to click on the surah title to chose the next surah. there are apps out there that have those in the free versions, with ads though. again, good job! just comments to make it even better.

jazakAllahu khayr!

I haven't even used QuranExplorer to its full potential and yet all other Holy Quran apps pale in comparison. I've tried using others but I get so frustrated because their use is not as user friendly. I can easily increase this font which is very helpful in class. I can easily change the reciter and the speed of the recitation. I can easily keep track of my place. I haven't even begun to use the translation and the tafsir. I used to use Quran Explorer on my laptop, but when a friend was using her tablet and I saw how convenient and easy it was, I jumped right on board . I have no regrets and barely remember how it was before.

I would recommend QuranExplorer to anyone during Ramadan and beyond. Well organized and the footnotes are so thorough. I recommend getting the full version, but the free version is almost as good. A few bugs here and there when using QuranExplorer on my older iPad but never have had problems on my iPhone alHamdulillah. The iPad is older and has a bug that the phone does not have. During the 9th chapter I think it goes mute and says it's playing but no sound comes out. It doesn't stop till you power off and on the iPad and skip through that section. But I think it's cuz my iPad is possessed. I don't think it's QuranExplorer . Works just fine on my phone.

Mashallah this is a very good application, I have been using full version of this for last few years and it performed without any glitch. All praises to Allah. I have been expecting that Bengali translation will be incorporated in this application, since nearly 200 million Muslims speak in Bengali. But I am very disappointed that it has not been incorporated even though a few other translations has been incorporated over last few years.

My dad first download QuranExplorer for me and I love it! It has been great use to me. But now after 4 years I memorized the whole Quran. It’s every single word and became a haditha. I don’t need it but I enjoy reading it! It literally hypnotized my brother, who is 3! He loves reading and learning new surahs! I am very very proud! Thank you! Also my mom loves listening to it for relaxation! If I could,I would give you 500,00 likes! May Allah bless you! Also please download QuranExplorer TODAY!!!

I’ve been using the premium version for years and I think it’s one of the best Quran apps. I only wish they could add the tajweed version for reading, the ability to create playlists of surahs for those studying the Quran, and adding more reciters like Sheikh Noreen to incorporate more recitation styles, more English translations etc. Please at the very minimum add the Tajweed option! Jazakallah khayr.

Importance note about audio issue (Husary):
There seems to be an issue with Sheikh Husari’s audios - since he is often used for memorization/tajweed practice, it would be helpful to fix his audio. I’ve come across issues for Juz 30 so far.

by SomaSister

QuranExplorer is wonderful for reading Quran. I love it.
I uploaded the full paid version and was excited to be able to use the audio to listen to Quran at work during Ramadan.
Sadly, only surah Fatah plays on the audio. All other surahs, I get an invalid error message.
I have attempted to report a bug here on QuranExplorer and even online on their website. Nothing's worked so far and I haven't been able to get in contact with QuranExplorer developers :(

by Slave Of The Creator

Must have app for every human being who wants to behave as human being in everyday life. If some one wants to just listen to English translation of Quran and not Arabic, This is best app as well. You can set reciter none and translator english reciter, it will continue only English translation without Arabic . I use this option in car. Where you can cover more in less time that what Allah is telling in Quran and in which context.

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullah Wabarakaatuh ♥️🙏🏽 I hope all is well. Jazakumullahu khairan for helping to create an app like this. May Allah Subhaanahu wata’aala accept it from you. There are some parts from the Quran where I cannot hear the audio even while it is playing for the reciter Mishary Rashid Alafasy and Mishary Rashid Alafasy- HQ even with premium. One example is from Surah Al-Ankaboot the few verses after verse 22. May Allah Subhaanahu wata’aala make this easy and accept from you all for helping us

by Mosey & Daffa

this app is my go-to app to memorize and read Quran online. Its clean interface allows users to easily navigate through the different Surahs and verses. One of the best parts about this app is the fact that you can open up the commentary and read along as you hear verses play. Crisp, high-fidelity studio audio allows for an immersive Quran listening experience. Overall QuranExplorer will cover all your needs of Quran! Thank you this app!

by AkraBas

I love QuranExplorer it has helped me read and translate the Koran although my first language is Arabic
I will tell all Muslims that are non Arab
Teach your children the Arabic because this is how you will really enjoy reading the Koran and appreciate its meanings
I find sometimes that some translation does not make a lot of sense but I must say QuranExplorer is truly amazing as you can flip from one chapter to another and take snap shots of what is interesting and intriguing
This is truly the work of God

I’ve downloaded the Quran Explorer app on all the smart phones I’ve ever had and it’s been very helpful and convenient. It’s a wonderful wash app to use. When using it, one can go directly to a particular Surah or Ayah without having to scroll and scroll, by just choosing the Surah and ayah number and it shows up. There is also an audio recitation option if one wants to hear it being recited. It has tafseer also. Too many good things about QuranExplorer that I’m sure I’m forgetting to type on here at the moment but it’s a very useful app to have.

by Bhutnee

I’ve been using this for several years now. Upgraded from the free version to the paid one few months after the initial download. Must say it’s been the best investment ever. I really like the UI and appreciate the updates the developers give us. The best part is that the translation and commentary is great(English version at least). I also like that I can change the font size, the reciters and playing speed....I could go on and on! 😄
May Allah reward all those who participated in developing this and getting it to the ummah. Allahumma aameen.

Assalam-o-alaikum
Hope you are fine by the grace of Almighty Allah.
May Allah bless you for the pious work you are doing with this great application "Quran Explorer". It is really wonderful and easy to use.
I have already installed the full version on all my devices and the application is a part of my life, and for my family and children.
Truly a great service to humanity!
Though I have been using it for a long time and the application is great in every way, yet I feel there is a little need for improvement in the bookmark section.
Dear sir, is it possible to add folder to bookmarks? Sometimes, while reading with meaning, I pause and think over a particular verse and wish to bookmark that relevant verse with a folder name to save other bookmarks of the same kind to organise them properly for future references. That will be truly wonderful. Hope I am able to communicate with you clearly and respectfully. Thanks Regards. Jazakallah khair.

I have been using this software for several years now. Great updates. I don't think any other Quran software even comes close. Especially the new scroll feature is awesome. Makes me stay concentrated and read better and faster. My mom and several other family members use it. For others who give a bad rating because they cannot download it etc should check their device or Internet connection. So if you are looking for a good Quran software get it. I should probably get paid for this review but really it is awesome if you use it and know how to.

by Shadezilla!!

Love QuranExplorer and have used it for over 5 years. But I don’t know if something happened with the last update but much of the search functionality isn’t working. I can only search for “Affixes” but the buttons for “Exact”, “All Roots”, or “Al-Quran” or any translations simply don’t respond and don’t work. I use the search functionality a TON and it’s very frustrating that most of it doesn’t work since it’s one of the most useful features in this outstanding app. Please please fix it and I will change this review to 5 stars. Jazakullah khayr!

by Crowngrl

I love the fact that I can read the Quran with translation (and commentary! This has REALLY helped me understand various ayahs in the Quran in their proper contexts) anywhere on the go!
I also love the way you can personalize bookmarks and hear recitations from different reciters. What I’d like to see going forward is a break down of the root words of Arabic words because I’m trying to learn Quranic Arabic and that would be very helpful. Can you also find a way to develop a program within QuranExplorer that can help you memorize Surahs with proper tajweed Thanks so much and keep up the GREAT work!

by BaselMoose

My family use QuranExplorer daily to listen to, and as the children grow up, I hope to use it as a teaching tool not only to translate, but also to discuss the history and timeline of the suras.

One can tell a lot of thought has gone into the user experience, and although it doesn’t have the standard look and feel of an app, I think the developers have done very well to integrate so many functions an intuitively accessible way.

by Usmanqazi_

I believe about last month there was an update that took away the feature to listen to the complete recitation of the Quran for free. I’ve been using QuranExplorer for many years, and listening the to the full recitation of the Quran for free, but the update took away that feature and now requires the full version. Usually, you were able to listen with only one reciter when you have the free version. Now, you can only listen to the first Juz with one reciter on the free version. I am very disappointed with this update. I even emailed the developers last month and I haven’t gotten a reply. :( Please fix this. JazakAllah.

by Nagshus

This is the only app I’ve found that allows you to slow down or speed up your recitation of choice. For me, that means I can choose a reciter I like who may be too fast for me to follow along with, by slowing down the speed.
What surprised me most is that I can access from any device and all my settings and bookmarks are still there. I've even deleted and re-downloaded QuranExplorer without losing my bookmarks and settings!

by Momummi

I've been looking at app after app. Not just looking. Buying and trying. This is it! My search is over. I have the upgraded version. What a deal. May Allah reward the developers of QuranExplorer. So many great features. Intuitive. Easy to figure out , even for a techno peasant such as myself. The only thing I wish it had is the ability to tap a word and hear it spoken. None that I've seen have this feature, though. InshaAllah it will have one day!

This this app is the choice for our spiritual renewal for those of us living in communities that are different from Islam. I’m here attending a conference on talented youth education in Los Angeles, California, living in a church parish for 6 weeks.

It’s a wonderful feeling to enjoy the peace and security among people of different faiths is an attestation to what Nelson Mandela is quoted to have said: “Education is the only weapon with which we can change our world “. If we’re to be of relevance to the future, we must educate our youth to the lofty goal of seeking peace and safety for all.

by Ssaifuddin94

I really appreciate that you all work to keep QuranExplorer up to date. I have a recommendation for you all, a feature I would also love to see is an automatic way to plan out how many days you can finish the Quran in if you read x number of ayahs each day. Especially with Ramadan around the corner I just started thinking, “how much do I have to read in order to finish the Quran before Ramadan starts ?” Maybe taking the average amount of time it takes for people to work through every verse in a given time frame, how much time should I read the Quran to complete it before a given date.

by Shega Hanan

It is a good app because it lets you read the book of Allah and know the meaning there are a lot of women that can touch the Quran so they can use QuranExplorer and it readers it for you can pick your own Person that has good tegweed and it dose a lot of things for you and it’s just a good app to have on your phone for a lot of reasons and one of them are let’s say you have QuranExplorer but a Quran is better for you but you for got it so you can use QuranExplorer to help!
