Project Overview
We worked with a client from Egypt, living in the USA, to rebuild an Islamic Quran app that was originally a simple iOS book-style app. Our team redesigned it into a rich, modern app with Quran audio, recitations, Qibla direction, stories, and categorized content like “what to read when you're sad.” Built in 6 months by a dedicated development team, the app was later featured in the Apple Store in Malaysia. It was created not for profit, but for purpose and community.
About Project
Quran Touch is a fully-featured iOS app that brings the Quran to life with famous audio recitations, translations, Qibla direction, prayer times, and categorized content like “what to read when you’re sad.” Originally a simple book-style app, we rebuilt it into a rich, modern experience. Developed in 6 months by a dedicated development team, the app supports both offline and online reading. It was created for the purpose, not profit, and was even featured in the Apple Store in Malaysia.
Client Pain Points
Old App Was Outdated
The original app was only available on iOS and had a basic book-style format, which wasn’t user-friendly or modern.
Missing Important Features
The app didn’t have audio recitation, Qibla direction, or categorized content, making it hard for users to find what they needed.
Needed to Convert Popular PDFs into App Content
The client had well-known Islamic books in PDF format and wanted them integrated into the app.
Lacked a Technical Team
The client had no developers and needed full development support.
Trusted Us with Usability and Design
He wanted a clean, user-friendly app and gave us full control over the experience.
Needed User Engagement Tracking
The client wanted to understand how long users were spending inside the app.
Our Solution
Complete App Redesign We rebuilt the old book-style app into a modern, easy-to-use iOS app with a clean and intuitive design.
Added Powerful Features We added Quran audio, multiple Qari voices, Qibla direction, prayer times, and offline reading to improve the user experience.
Smart Content Organization We categorized content—like what to read when you're feeling sad—and included popular Islamic books, dua collections, and Quran stories.
Built Community Tools We added a community feature where users can request duas, helping people feel more connected through the app.
End-to-End Development Support Our team handled everything—design, development, and testing—with a full team of developers, designer, QA, and PM, delivering it in 6 months.
Something You Should Know
Quran Touch was more than just an app—it was a gift to the Muslim community. It offered Quran audio, prayer tools, and community features all in one place. The app became so successful that it was featured in the Apple Store in Malaysia in 2018. It shows how much users loved it and how valuable it became worldwide.
