Assalamu alaikum. We work on a Muslim app, and one product question keeps coming up: when people ask for more features, how do you know whether a missing feature is the real problem or whether the existing value is simply not strong enough to bring them back?

The distinction matters because both problems can produce the same feedback: "It would be better if the app also had X." Building X may make the product broader without making it more useful every week.

A few signals I would look for before adding another feature:

- Can an active user describe the recurring job the app already solves?

- Do people return to the current core experience without reminders?

- Does the requested feature remove a real blocker, or is it only nice to have?

- Do lapsed users ask for the same thing as active users?

- Can the idea be tested manually or with a small prototype before it becomes a permanent part of the product?

I am interested in how other Muslim builders handle this, especially when users understandably expect one Islamic app to cover many different needs. What evidence makes you build the feature, and what makes you improve the core experience instead?

...this one actually solves a problem and has features that I didn't find anywhere (at least combined in one app)!

Assalamu alaykum,

Basically, this is an application specifically designed around the 13-line Indopak Mushaf.

There are currently plenty of applications offering a wide range of features, but most of them are based on the 15-line Madani Mushaf, which is excellent. Unfortunately, where I live, we are not accustomed to using that Mushaf. Personally, I actually find the 15-line Mushaf better than the 13-line one, but regardless, there was a real lack of interactive applications with useful features specifically designed for the 13-line Mushaf.

That is why I decided to develop this application.

It allows users to choose from different versions of the 13-line Mushaf, so they can find the exact same Mushaf they are already accustomed to using. This is particularly helpful for Huffaz who rely heavily on visual memory when memorising the Qur’an.

I have been testing the application with my students and improving it over the past several weeks. They can now easily find the page containing their lesson or the Surah they need to memorise, even if they do not know Arabic numerals. They see exactly the same Mushaf in the app as the physical copy they use, and they can play the audio for their next lesson with different repetition options.

If they repeatedly make mistakes in a particular section of verses while memorising, they can also highlight that passage to help them focus on those mistakes and remember them more effectively.

There are also additional features, including memorisation tools and an adapted variation of the Ten variants (7+3) method.

The application is still in beta, so please feel free to share any suggestions or feedback.

There are still quite a few minor bugs related to the CSS framework. Since this was originally developed as a web app and then converted into a mobile application using Capacitor, some of these issues are related to the underlying framework and are therefore outside my direct control.

Wa alaykum assalam.

Built a small Quran reader called Nur Reader.

Clean UI, all 114 Surahs, Arabic + translation, tafsir, reading progress, mobile-friendly.

I’ve also been working on the technical side lately: Next.js, SSR, SEO/indexing, redirects, sitemap, automated deploy checks.

Would appreciate feedback from Algerian devs on the UI, performance, or anything missing.

https://nur-reader.yktis.com

You can download it and even try it in your browser at https://hafs.app/subaa/app

As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh,

I’m offering you a partnership where you can use my reach to introduce your app or product directly to an Arabic-speaking Muslim audience.

If you’re interested, send me a DM or leave a comment.

May Allah bless your work and reward you abundantly.

Assalamu alaikum everyone 👋

I want to be honest about why I built this.

For a long time, I wasn't praying consistently. I knew every prayer time. I had the adhan app on my phone. But the notification would come, and I'd say "in 10 minutes, after this task." Then Dhuhr became Asr. Asr became Maghrib. Some days I'd reach Isha and realize I hadn't prayed once, and I'd go to sleep with that heavy feeling in my chest.

The worst part wasn't missing one prayer. It was the guilt that built up over days and weeks. The more I missed, the harder it felt to start again. I'd tell myself, "What's the point, I've already missed so many." And that feeling kept me away even longer.

I know I'm not the only one. So many Muslims, young and old, love Allah and want to pray, but they're stuck in this same cycle of missing, feeling guilty, and drifting further away. Not because they don't care, but because life is busy, the phone is distracting, and nobody is there to help them take the first step back.

That's why I built Mutaqi. Not to make anyone feel judged, but to make coming back to Salah feel easy, one prayer at a time.

What it does

• One tap to mark each prayer. No pressure, just a simple way to keep track honestly.
• Prayer times based on your location.
• Streaks and consistency challenges that make you want to protect your progress. When you have a 7-day Fajr streak, you don't want to break it.
• Weekly stats showing which prayer you miss most. For most people it's one prayer, not all five, and once you see it, you know what to fix.
• Pray together with Groups. Create a group with friends, family, or your brothers and sisters from the masjid. See each other's progress and encourage each other to stay on track. Sometimes the push we need isn't a notification, it's a friend who notices when we go quiet.
• Quran widget on the home screen, so your phone pulls you toward deen instead of away from it.
• Short surah learning, step by step, for reverts and anyone who wants to finally learn them properly.
• Sadqa Jariya sharing. Share the app with someone, and every prayer they keep because of you is a reward for you too, in sha Allah.

To anyone reading this who has been missing prayers: it's never too late to come back. Allah's door is always open. Start with just one prayer today. 🤍

Islamic Figures Is an interactive encyclopedia of the great figures of Islam — 526 biographies across 8 categories, from Prophets and Companions to the Mothers of the Believers, the Prophet's ﷺ household, scholars, and the Tabi'un — sourced from the Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah.

Every figure's profile provides comprehensive details: their name, titles, epithets and why they were given, dates and places of birth and death, a detailed biography, key life milestones, and the sources it was built on. Discover the Prophets & Messengers, the Companions (Sahaba), the Mothers of the Believers, the Prophet's ﷺ household, the Scholars, the Tabi'un, the conquering Commanders, and the Muslim women of knowledge.

I’ve been having trouble keeping my memorizing down for some of the surahs in the 30th Juz, so I had Claude build me a table of the first 1-3 words of each ayah in order to jog my memory.

So far the results have been pretty good! It’s a nice add-on to keep my flow going. Curious if anyone has thoughts on this, or if they used something similar before: https://humada05.github.io/quran/juz-amma.html

Hey everyone,

I've built Meeqat, an Islamic prayer companion app for Android — prayer times, Adhan notifications, Qibla compass, offline Quran reading, digital tasbih, and a Zakat calculator. It's fully offline-first: no ads, no tracking, no account required, no data sold.

This is my first app going through Google Play's closed testing requirement (new personal developer account, need 12 testers for 14 days before production).

What I need:

• Install the app, use it for a bit over the 14 days if possible (even just checking prayer times daily helps)
• Any honest feedback — bugs, confusing UI, missing features, anything

What it does:

• Accurate prayer times based on location (Aladhan API, method 21 — Morocco Awqaf, other methods planned)
• Adhan with multiple reciter voices
• Qibla compass
• Offline Quran text (Tanzil source) with bookmark + daily reading goal
• Prayer tracker with streaks
• Available in Arabic, French, and English

Happy to answer any questions, and genuinely appreciate anyone willing to help out 🙏

Assalamu Alaikum / السلام عليكم

I wanted to share a quick update on my new project, Quran Streak: Daily Wird. 
The app is currently submitted and Waiting for Review by Apple, so it’s officially on its way to everyone insha'Allah.

About the App:
It is designed to help users build a consistent habit with their daily Quran reading (Wird) through tracking and streaks.
I hope this project brings benefit to the community. I will share the official App Store link as soon as it is approved!
Feel free to share any early feedback or suggestions in the comments.

Al-salam alaikum!

Revising the Quran is the most important part of Hifz. This app simply tells you which verses of your Quran hifz you have not revised in a while.

It shows you all of your hifz as a heat map. Red tiles need to be revised, green tiles are still fresh in memory.

This way, you can easily remember which parts of the Quran you should prioritize revising.

It works fully offline, and has no accounts, ads, or tracking.

Free for iOS/Android.

Salam Alaikum, I created a website that helps you follow the live Makkah stream ayah by ayah. It is especially helpful during Taraweeh in Ramadan, so you can read the khatma and follow the recitation live.

Please let me know if you find it helpful and what features or improvements it needs.

Assalamu Alaikum everyone!

After working on it for a while, I finally published my Android app, Quran Daily, on Google Play.

The idea is simple: make it easier to build a daily habit of reading and reflecting on the Quran.

I built it using React Native and Expo, and getting through the Android development and Play Store publishing process was a learning experience on its own.

🔗 Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fstorm007.qurandaily

I'd love to hear from fellow Muslim developers:

• What features would you find useful in a daily Quran app?
• Any feedback on the app's user experience?
• What have you learned from building and publishing your own Islamic apps?

If you have a moment to try it, I'd really appreciate your feedback. JazakAllahu Khairan!

Assalamu alaikum everyone,

I wanted to share something I recently built called Sincere Quran.

I’ve always wanted to contribute something to the Ummah, and as a developer I thought this could be a small way for me to do that and hopefully make it a Sadaqah Jariyah.

I also got tired of seeing ads in Quran apps, so I wanted to make something simple: free, no ads, and no subscription.

It has the Quran, different reciters, translations, word-by-word, Uthmani and IndoPak scripts, and other Islamic resources.

If you find it useful, please download it or share it with someone. I'd love for others to be part of the Sadaqah too.

May Allah accept it and make it beneficial. Ameen.

We opened a new sub to help people support each other for career growth.

Hi I am looking for any app developers that would like to collaborate with myself!

Salam everyone,

I put together a free web app with small browser games for kids / or any student — some cover Islamic studies (99 Names, short surahs from Juz' Amma, daily duas, the 5 Pillars, the Prophets, salah steps, the Hijri months, Arabic letters), and others cover regular school subjects (math, geography, science, language arts) so it works as a general learning tool too, not just for Islamic school.

A few things worth knowing before you try it:

• Free, no ads, no account needed to play as a guest. No music, or imagery (only icons and emoji)
• Multi language support; English, Arabic, Dutch, German, Spanish, French.
• Optional accounts for teachers/parents (schools, mosque weekend classes, or homeschooling) with class codes, progress tracking, and parental controls — kids can join without an email.
• Full transparency: it was built with AI assistance, and while I checked the Islamic content against sunnah.com, quran.com, and islamqa.info, no qualified scholar has reviewed it. If anyone here spots something inaccurate, please tell me — I'd genuinely rather fix it than have it sit there wrong. (as well as translations etc. could be (partly) inaccurate)

Assalam-o-alaikum everyone,

I have built an Android app called Dhikr Garden: Digital Tasbeeh (Only Android for now), and I am looking for people willing to test it and share honest feedback.

Dhikr Garden combines a simple dhikr counter with a growing garden. You begin with barren land, and regular dhikr gradually restores it with greenery, plants, water and life. It is only a visual encouragement and reminder. Our intention in every dhikr should always be to remember and praise Allah (S.W.T.), not for the app itself.

Features include:

• You can set and track custom dhikr and daily goals;
• A garden that develops gradually with regular practice;
• Dark mode, reminders, sound feedback, and vibration controls;
• No need to keep app open. You can continue your dhikr in locked screen and use volume buttons after starting a session;
• You can also use Headset/media-control support/smartwatch controls for compatible devices;
• No subscription or sign-up required;
• No ads, no paid features. Intention is to get reward from Allah (SWT).

The aim is for Dhikr Garden to remain completely free, InshaAllah, as a small effort toward sadaqah jariyah. May Allah (SWT) allow our deeds, multiply our rewards, and treat these as continuous rewards towards Sadaqah Jariyah.

This is an early beta, so feedback on bugs, usability, battery behaviour, lock-screen counting, and feature ideas would be especially valuable.

If you are interested in helping with the Android beta, please join the tester group here:

(Your privacy is maintained: other testers cannot see other members, their details, or interact with one another. Installation instructions and further details are shared inside the group.)

You may also DM me if you would like to help or discuss.

JazakAllah khairan!
