The complete Quran in a mobile format for Android and with support for more than 20 languages.

Quran for Android provides a comprehensive edition of the religious text of Islam. The app is free to use, and the developers continue to refine and add to it. It only requires Android 1.6 and has a small footprint on disk, which you can limit with language choices and other options. The app supports both smartphones and tablets, and it offers a portrait mode as well as a two-page landscape mode. A built-in night mode adjusts lighting and suppresses audio as necessary.

Like the actual Quran, this app delivers the text broken up into chapters or surahs, and those chapters are further divided into verses or ayahs. The actual text has been translated into more than 70 languages. Quran for Android currently supports more than 20; however, this is something that the developers continue to work on, and the current count is impressive when you consider that the initial version of this free app only supported English, French and German translations.

This Quran contains Madani-compliant images. All ayahs can be searched, bookmarked and tagged. Some tagging is provided by default, which you can choose to use or not, and whether you use this app for spiritual or educational purposes, the ability to perform complex searches, bookmark down to an individual line and tag in order to organize text sections into groups makes this a powerful tool. The app also has some social media integration, and you can share an image, a line of text or an entire ayah just by long-pressing the item in question. Some light set up of your accounts beforehand is required.

Quran for Android also includes audio. There are more than 15 audio recitations available with more to come. All recitations have highlighting support, and you can simply tap to bring up the audio toolbar. A customizable audio repeat option is provided as well, and the app delivers gapless audio playback.
