Ayat: Al Quran القرآن الكريم Reviews

Finally, one with a search bar, menu, and much more! I'm so happy, now I can have it at my fingertips for reference and to produce for others which don't read Arabic. Many of my Muslim friends can't read Arabic. Having the English translation and Arabic in one is important. Many times I find things translated using the wrong transliteration. With Arabic in tact I can easily explain the deeper meaning or equivalent words without losing the full translation. The Arabic grammar is also very precise versus English is versatile and can be vague or open to interpretation leaving room for misunderstanding in many instances or poor translation. This format helps one to use a dictionary alongside translations if they are not familiar with Arabic well enough. It also helps to read the quraan while learning Arabic because it is the most perfect form of Arabic in my opinion, grammatically speaking. It is also wonderful to have the prominent Islamic Art/design on the pages within Ayat ! I for one cannot give up my huge hand painted wood carved quraan for its beauty, even if it's impractical for use.

Love Ayat , great effort MsA
Could use in the following areas:
- When I set Ayat to قراءة ليلية; there are 2 very bright white lines on the iPhone 12. In vertical mode, they’re at the top & bottom of the screen. In landscape mode, they’re on the left & bottom sides of the screen.
Fix Suggestion: revise Ayat design to remove any white backgrounds when in this mode

- In landscape mode, on iPhone 12, the تفسير hover menu at the bottom has the text cut off

- In both vertical & landscape modes, when I close the تفسير menu at the bottom, there’s no way to add it back again. Only way is to restart Ayat

- When setting Ayat to قراءة ليلية or changing any other settings, they all seem to reset every time Ayat resets. Expectation here is that Ayat should maintain those settings.
Enhancement suggestion: allow users the option to ‘restore default settings’ as well

Please keep us the great effort!

Since my last update of my iphone Ayat keeps on lagging. Whenever I touch the screen (verse) to see the translation it comes and goes, on and off, and keeps on happening like that. I’m having so much trouble in using Ayat these days since my last update. I have seen a comment from another person in February, yet there hasn’t been an update so far. This is my favourite Quran app, but if this is going to be continuing I have to change to some other app. Hope you would fix this soon.

Assalamu Alaykum
Alhamdullilah, since last week Ayat has been working great again with very view minor exceptions.
The minor exceptions has to do with book marking. It is not possible to book mark a point on this update. Another observation is that there is no English Tafaser.
Thank you so much for making the necessary corrections and making Ayat useful as it used to be. May Allah bless everyone that started and made all the necessary amendments to bring Ayat back to its former glory.
Jazakhalla khairan

I love Ayat and everything it offers, and have been using it for YEARS.
In the last year or so Ayat has been glitching and messing up. Ive uninstalled it many times and re-installed it thinking it would be better but its still wacky.
This is the last straw, and its sad because i love Ayat so much! Its a great app if it were taken care if by developers (bug fixes and such) please fix it so i can continue to use it. Thankyou

Thank you for creating this amazing app. It has everything you need to learn Quran: color codes tajweed mushaf, many sheikhs that are reciting the Quran including once recorded for students, repeating opinions for aya or multiple of ayats, etc. The only thing missing is ability to run Ayat when the device is locked. Can you make it run when the device is locked.

Ayat . is not keeping the bookmark on the page selected, when I come back to it & I have to go back thru the process of choosing the language.
It is a safe App. Which has Tafsir and it is from Saudi Arabia and have everything I need, but please it needs to be updated.
This is my second request for its update.
Thank you and God bless you for the magnificent job on Ayat.

I HAVE PAID FOR Ayat! And There is a issue with the option buttons. When I am clicking on them, they repeatedly go back to first option before actually going to anything your trying to get to. The scrolling option, like for when you want to repeat, 2 separate types scrolling menus are appearing and you have to put your option repeatedly in BOTH menus for it to work. I tried deleting Ayat and re-downloading. It still does same. Please fix this

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Jazaakumullah for Ayat . Lately, in the past 2 months or so I noticed the recitation does not continue/play in the background anymore.
It will only play while it’s open. If you close it with the recitation going, it will stop immediately. It never used to be like that for me. Could you please fix that? Thank you!

Finally a Qur'an app that we can download confidently. It has all the features that one expects and much more. And at anytime Ayat can be updated to add or enhance feature I don't really care about the interface and other features. The most important thing is the trust that it would not contain misinterpretations is good enough reason for me to download it and rate it 5 stars as that's the max rating I can give. Thanks King Saud University.

This is exactly what I was looking for in terms of a Quran app. I like the mushaff and I can just tap and hold to see the translation of the ayah in front of me. Great bookmark feature that differentiate between memorization and reading of the mushaff. Great selection of reciters. It takes a little time to get used to but overall a great App to understand and memorize the words of Allah most high. JazakAllahu khair for publishers and designers.

I have been using Ayat in my phone for past 2 and half years. It was really good and we could select the reciter, the tag sir, the language for translation , the repeating option was excellent for memorising and all, but a few months back the menu button stoped working and I had to make repeated press that would not be chosen on any account. It continues to happen even today. Really unhappy about it, but I hope you could do something about it. It really would be helpful if you could

Ayat used to be the best. I trust their Arabic tafseer and their English one too and I still do. I even advised all my kids to download it on their devices but since last time I updated my phone, Ayat has been lagging. The pages don’t flip or scroll easily and the translation at the bottom of the page disappear whenever I touch it or try to scroll through it. I am so disappointed bc this used to be my favorite Quran app ever. I tried deleting Ayat and downloading it again with no luck. So sad

This was my favorite App. It has so many wonderful features: a great collection of reciters and tafaseer and great memorization aids. But sadly for several months since the last two iPhone updates these features no longer work. I hope the developers will be able to fix this since we have no option to uninstall the updates.

Please fix bookmark button. It does not work at all. This is very important. Four stars until this issue gets fixed.

Dears,
As we tried it, it was an awesome application, but after IOS update to 13 edition, there are some problems in using this application : browsing, searching for Aya copying, and others.
So we kindly need your effort to update this great application as soon as possible.

Regards.

Ayat have very good features and I use very it frequently. However, it seem no one really cares to fix the small issues in it. The latest update, the marks “alama’ function stopped working, so if you wish to mark where you stopped reading, that function is not working now. I hope someone would read my note and fix it, I don’t think it’s a major fix, but very important to the user. God bless you.

Salamo Alykom. This is a great app ma shaa Allah, and it is so easy to see why. It seamlessly integrates Qur'an pages with smart ayah selections. You can start recitals (التلاوات) at any ayah, with any reader. You can also start tafseer (التفسير) and word meanings (معاني الكلمات) per any ayah. Finally it offers offline downloads for recitals, tafseers and word meanings. Great work. Best of all, completely free.

Great app, has everything Quran related. Pages are clear, smooth to flip through, and nice search tools. One thing though after you download Ayat , you have to download all pages once you're in, took about 10 mins for me. Highly recommend.

Can someone update Ayat please? It’s a year I am using Ayat but I can’t finish downloading suras. I like Ayat because it can read each ayah how many times I want. Thanks for creator of Ayat. May Allah bless and give you a lot of rewords in this dunya and akhirat. Jazakallahu khayran kasiro!

Everything is awesome about Ayat except the bookmarks part may be improved if multiple people are reciting from the same cell phone there could be multiple/personalized bookmarks option that would be great. Also if the bookmark option can be seen from the this app end that would be great.. JazakAllah khair.

When i try to listen to the holy Quran in the background more it does not last. It will just play for some few minutes then stop. Please fix this problem.

Buggy. Scrolling freezes then finally slides to the next page. English translation scrolling down is even worse. It doesn’t go with your finger but rather moves on line, freezes, then scrolls several more lines after you let go. It’s really difficult to read smoothly. Very frustrating app.

I recommend “Quran” app with the green logo. It has everything Ayat does and is bug free.

I really like Ayat. It has all the things I like in the various Quran apps. It has a very readable Arabic text, it is easy to navigate around the Quran, the English is displayed at the bottoms of the page in a resizable window and tafsir is well o gained in a separate page with the Arabic and English both displayed for reference.

A few things missing:
- ability to continue reading on another device from the same spot using iCloud.
- portrait view to show 2 pages.
- root word analysis.

Whenever I try to get to the correct this app, the scroller doesn’t work correctly. This never used to happen before iOS 13. Otherwise, it is an excellent app.

السلام عليكم
Here are areas to fix:
1. When trying to scroll down for this app number, the entire app moves up and down the iPhone screen instead of the this app numbers.
2. No search results appear when I search in English or Arabic.
3. I cannot adjust the translation window size anymore because the entire app slides up and down the iPhone screen instead.
These areas worked in the iPhone 8 but not anymore. Also, can the web version have English tafsir? Right now the web version only has Arabic, Indonesian, and Russian language tafsir.

Really great Quran app, one of the best I've used. However, it buffers multiple times during usage and doesn't work until minutes or hours later. The translation, font and look and speakers are all great, but the slow, unreliable play needs to be fixed.

Really great tool for review and memorization or just reading. One minor issue I saw is that at least in English when you activate repeating it will stop the translation from being recited with the Arabic.
