Quran app alternatives
One page per app, for the reader who is thinking of leaving the one they have. Each page starts with whether there is a documented reason to go at all, and several of them answer no and tell you to stay put. A reason is listed only when that app's own published materials state it, so nothing here is a grievance we invented to fill a page.
Published by the makers of Quran Habit, which is the obvious thing we would like you to switch to, so the pages below are written to be checkable rather than persuasive. Every claim about another app is taken from that app's own website, help centre or store listing, and every one of the 7 beats Quran Habit at something its own page names.

If leaving is not the question you have
- Quran Habit compared with other Quran apps: the same feature rows run against each app, one page at a time.
- 7 Quran apps compared: the whole field in one table, with a section for each app.
- How to judge a Quran app yourself: twelve checks you can run on any app in a few minutes, naming none.
- Reading the Quran with tajweed colour: what the colours mean and what an app has to get right to show them.
- Choosing a word by word Quran app: the two features that share the name, and the app whose own materials beat ours on word data.
- Choosing an app to finish the Quran: what a khatm plan has to get right, and what each app says about its own.
How we compared
The rules are written once, at the foot of the ranked list, where a reader who has just read a claim can check how it was arrived at: how we compare apps. In short: every fact about another app comes from that app's own public materials, each entry carries the date it was last read, and where an app's materials do not state something we write that they do not rather than guessing.
