Terms of Use

Last updated: 29 September 2026

1.Acceptance of terms

By downloading, installing or using IQRA (“the App”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the App. If you are setting it up for someone else, a parent for a child for example, you confirm you have the authority to accept these terms for them.

These terms sit alongside the Privacy Policy and Apple’s own Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement, which applies to every app distributed through the App Store.

2.What IQRA is

IQRA is a Quran reading app for iPhone. It presents all 6,236 ayahs one screen at a time, in Uthmani Arabic with translation and optional transliteration, plays verse recitation with word-by-word highlighting, and tracks your reading towards a complete hatim, with optional plans, daily goals, widgets and an Apple Watch companion.

The App is designed as a daily reading companion. It is offered free, with an optional Premium subscription described in section 8.

3.The text and its sources

We treat accuracy of the text as the most serious obligation this App has.

• The Arabic text is the Uthmani script as published by established digital Quran text projects, carried into the App unchanged.
• Translations presented in the App are established published editions, carried in as published. A translation is a human work; editions differ in wording, and no translation replaces the Arabic original.
• Recitation audio is served from established public Quran audio archives.

The App is a reading aid. For liturgical use, memorisation checking or scholarly citation, refer to a printed mushaf and authoritative printed editions.

4.Not a religious authority

5.Audio and hearing safety

The App plays recitation and optional ambient sound, and many readers use headphones. Protect your hearing. Set the volume so audio is comfortable and take regular breaks. On iOS you can cap output in Settings → Sounds & Haptics → Headphone Safety, and we recommend leaving that enabled. You are responsible for the volume at which you choose to listen.

6.Eligibility and your device

You may use the App if you are able to form a binding contract where you live, or if you have the consent of a parent or guardian.

The App has no accounts and no sign-in of any kind. Your progress is stored on your device, which means it is yours alone, and also that deleting the App deletes it. Keep an iPhone backup if that matters to you. The App does send anonymous usage statistics; see the Privacy Policy.

7.Progress and records

Your hatim progress, daily goal history, saved ayahs and celebrations are records kept to support your own reading. They:

• have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for money, goods or services;
• cannot be sold, transferred or traded, inside or outside the App;
• exist only on your device, so we cannot recover them if the device or the App’s data is lost;
• may change in how they are calculated or displayed as we improve the App.

Losing progress because you changed, reset or lost your device does not entitle you to a refund or to compensation, though we understand it can genuinely hurt, and an iPhone backup restores it.

8.IQRA Premium

The whole Quran is free to read in IQRA. Premium supports the App’s development and keeps reading uninterrupted, with the full reading experience and advanced hatim tracking at your own pace. It is offered as an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription. The price for your region is set through the App Store and is always shown in the App, in your own currency, before you confirm.

• Billing. Payment is charged to your App Store account at confirmation of purchase. We never handle your payment details.
• Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Renewal is charged within 24 hours of the end of that period.
• Cancelling. Manage or cancel the subscription in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions → IQRA. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep Premium until the paid period ends. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
• Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple and are subject to Apple’s refund policy. We cannot issue refunds directly, but we will help you with a request. Apple’s form is at reportaproblem.apple.com.
• Price changes. We may change prices. Apple will notify you and, where required, ask for your consent before a changed price applies to a renewal.
• Restoring. Use Restore Purchases in the App, signed in with the same Apple ID you bought with, to restore Premium on a new device. This restores the entitlement only; reading progress is stored on the old device and transfers with an iPhone backup, not with the purchase.
• Changes to what Premium includes. We may add to Premium, and may adjust what it covers as the App evolves. We will not remove a headline benefit from an active subscription period without offering you a way out.

9.Intellectual property

The Quran itself belongs to no app, and we make no claim over it. What belongs to us or to our licensors is the work around the text: the software, the interface design, the IQRA name and logo, the reading and hatim systems, the written copy and the artwork. Translations remain the works of their translators and publishers; recitations remain the works of their reciters and archives. Both are presented in the App as published sources, with respect.

You are granted a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the App on devices you own or control, for your own reading. You may not:

• copy, resell, sublicense, rent or redistribute the App;
• extract or re-package the App’s data files, designs or systems for use in another product;
• use the App to build a competing product, or to train a machine-learning model;
• remove or obscure any proprietary notice.

Sharing an ayah image the App creates for you, with friends or on social media, is exactly what that feature is for. Your own progress data is yours. Feedback and suggestions you send us may be used without obligation or compensation, and we appreciate them.

10.Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, except where that right cannot lawfully be excluded;
• tamper with purchases or entitlements, or use modified clients to obtain Premium you did not buy;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or to another user’s device or data;
• interfere with the service, including by overloading it or probing it for vulnerabilities without permission;
• use the App’s content or share images in a way that is disrespectful to the text, unlawful, or misleading about their source;
• use the App in a way that breaks the law where you are.

We may suspend or terminate access if you do any of these.

11.Third-party services

The App relies on services operated by others: Apple for distribution, payments and subscriptions, Google (Firebase Analytics and Cloud Firestore) for anonymous usage statistics, RevenueCat for purchase validation, and public Quran audio archives for recitation. What each one handles is set out in our Privacy Policy, and their own terms govern their side of it. We are not responsible for outages, changes or failures in those services, though we will do what we reasonably can to work around them.

12.Availability and changes to the App

We aim to keep IQRA available and working, but we do not promise uninterrupted service. We may add, change or remove features; we may require you to update to a supported version; and we may discontinue support for older operating systems. We may stop offering the App altogether, in which case we will give reasonable notice and stop charging subscriptions.

13.Limitation of liability

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• we do not warrant that the App will be error-free or uninterrupted, and section 3 sets out how we handle any error in the text;
• we are not liable for decisions made in reliance on the App’s content; section 4 explains that the App gives no religious guidance;
• we are not liable for hearing discomfort resulting from the volume at which you choose to listen, or from ignoring the guidance in section 5;
• we are not liable for lost progress or records, however caused;
• we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of profit, data or goodwill;
• our total liability arising from your use of the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or ten US dollars.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or under mandatory consumer protection law where you live. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

14.Termination

You can stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these terms, and Apple may do so under its own agreement with you. On termination, your licence ends; sections that by their nature should survive, including intellectual property, limitation of liability and governing law, survive.

15.Modifications to these terms

We may update these terms as the App evolves. The date at the top always reflects the current version. If a change is material, we will tell you inside the App or on this site before it takes effect. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated terms.

16.Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Istanbul, Turkey. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of protections or forums granted by the mandatory law of the place where you live.

17.Contact

Questions about these terms can go to the address on our contact page. A person reads it, usually within two working days.
