  2. I suppose you know about iQuran.. if not, you have to.. I have it on my N1 and it's really great.. big font, bookmarks, different ways of browsing (by surah, goz2, 7ezb quarters..)
    It also has translation and recitations..

    The best thing about it is that it identifies every single verse.. I mean you can select one verse and bookmark it, not just bookmark a page (actually it has no notion of pages)

    What it lacks is Tafseer and search.. and it would be great if you can add those

    @Haitham: yeah I know about iQuran, I have it installed on my phone, yet I miss on it the layout of moshaf el madinnah as I am used to it and also many others who memorizes Quran like to stick to the same page style whenever they read from Quran as it helps them more to concentrate. Thats the reason why we worked on making Quran Android shipped with high quality optimized images with the layout of moshaf el madinnah.

    @Motagaly: جزانا وإياكم.. we plan to port it on different mobile phones that still lacks Quran in moshaf el madinnah format..

  7. assalaamu 'alaikum,

    jazakumullah khairan katsira for your effort in making this app.
    i just want to ask one thing,
    is it possible to download recitation for quran android from PC. i mean if I and my friend instal quran android and want to add recitation, why do both of us must download those large recitation. one person is enough, and the other can copy it. and since downloading from android device use quite large data package, downloading from pc would just be more more handy.
    how?
