## Description

The Clear Quran is an English translation of the Quran by Al-Furqaan Foundation, officially approved by Al-Azhar. It aims to faithfully render the eloquence of the Arabic text in clear, easy-to-understand English, with light footnotes for context and brief Surah introductions.

## Review summary

User reviews praise the Clear Quran translation for its clear, accessible language and its usefulness as a study resource. However, recurring concerns center on the update: a major redesign that many feel stripped away essential features and disrupted the intuitive flow. A paywall for footnotes, Arabic text, and other core content has angered users over value and affordability. Additional bugs and instability after the update—including playback glitches, incorrect verse ordering, and bookmarks not directing to the right location—compound the frustration. Overall, high-quality content is marred by design changes and monetization that many want reversed.
