Review summary

The Clear Quran Audiobook is praised for high production quality, calming narration, and a user-friendly interface with useful text-search and note-taking features, plus full surah coverage. However, repeated reliability issues—offline playback problems, frequent glitches, random skipping, and missing navigation features—undermine the experience. Addressing offline stability, playback controls, and essential bookmarking/highlighting features would elevate it from a strong resource to a consistently excellent app.

Pros

High production quality with clear audio, dramatic narration, and multiple voice actors
User-friendly interface with straightforward controls and handy playback speed
Text search and note-taking capability (copy-paste text) for study
Full audiobook coverage (all surahs, intros, and section headings) in one app
Some free chapters available and overall value from premium access

Cons

Offline playback not reliable: downloaded audio often requires Wi-Fi and can fail or crash
Frequent glitches and stability issues: app crashes, won't open, or returns to home screen
Playback problems: random skipping to next surah and poor resume behavior; cannot fast-forward
Missing features: bookmarking last played, highlighting/copying text, and remembering last position
Large app size (around 6 GB) and UI interruptions (e.g., Ramadan greeting blocking access)

2026-03-12	أَ*****	1) dark mode. We have the technology. 2) the entire audiobook (all the surahs, intros and sub-chapter headings) go just over 22 hours, and are +5GB in total; uncompressed 24-bit PCM audio seems unlikely and I have to question whether it’s necessary to have a single surah be nearly 1GB on its own (I had to offload the app a couple of times due to the failed download, but also didn’t want to re-download the other 4GB in audio files). Overall it’s a 6GB app. Look forward to these changes.

2026-03-06	An*****	I subscribed to the premium version expecting reliable offline listening, but the app still requires WiFi to play downloaded audiobooks. This makes the download feature feel pointless. Even when connected, the app crashes often and audiobooks won’t play properly. The idea of the app is great, but the execution needs serious improvement. If offline playback worked smoothly and the crashes were fixed, this could be a fantastic service.

2026-03-03	Ma*****	When I press play and get about 2 minutes in, it starts skipping to the next surah at a random time stamp and then keeps doing it so I can’t even listen to a full thing??

2026-02-26	km*****	The audiobook is excellent! The app is impossible to use. Can download a surah, but cannot play it without WiFi. Can choose to listen to a surah, but the app glitches and skips to the next surah, or skips ahead 2 or even three surahs. Cannot listen to one surah after another without restarting the app. It makes listening to The Quran an extremely stressful experience. And I’m paying $5 a month! 😫

2026-02-25	As*****	Too much glitching & why can’t we fast forward? I had to keep restarting a chapter from the beginning.

2026-02-24	Fl*****	I’ve had this for a year and absolutely love the Clear Quran Audiobook app. A high-quality and thoughtful project. The interface is straightforward and user-friendly. The playback speed feature is handy. The main narrator has a calming voice (I’m an avid audiobook consumer and a narrator can make or break the experience). I can tell care and effort was poured into the recording and editing. As a creative, I know there are a lot of pieces that tie into a seamless body of work like this, and I hope everyone involved knows that work is noticed and appreciated. May Allah increase you in Barakah.

2026-02-17	Sa*****	I listen to this app while falling asleep. I wish one surah would come after another surah automatically and I didn’t have to click on play button again

2026-01-28	1S*****	This is a great resource to always have on hand . Listen whenever and wherever. Excellent narratives. The voices are very calming. Added sounds ensure that you do not lose focus. Great option to make notes and copy past text. The app itself lacking a lot of features that would truly make it more functional. It would be great to high light text as well as copy selected text . If those features were present I would give this App 5 stars .

2026-01-21	Qa*****	The production quality of this dramatized reading of the Qur’an’s translation is a masterpiece. There are transitions with multiple voice actors when the Qur’an is quoting someone and section headings (not a part of the text) are recited to ease the transition into new topics or shifts in perspective within each chapter. Much work was put into polishing this audio rendition of the Qur’an’s translation and it allows for non-Arabic speakers to understand some semblance of what it means to hear and understand the Qur’an through oral transmission. There is a subscription required for access to all chapters, but Fatiha, Kahf, Yasin, Mulk, Ikhlas, Falaq, and Nas are available for free. A one month subscription is the price of a cup of coffee so it’s definitely worth subscribing to listen to the Qur’an recited throughout the month of Ramadan!
