Free Quran App ‘Recite it Right’ at Apple Store

A new Quran application to help people read the Holy Book correctly is now available at the Apple App Store.

The application called “Recite it Right” was developed by the Quran Recital and Memorization Society in Jeddah and launched recently by Saudi Arabia's Minister of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Call and Guidance Saleh bin Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Al Al-Sheikh.

Abdul Aziz Hanafi, chief of the society in Jeddah, said Apple was cooperative and welcomed the software. “It is now available free at the company’s app store, to be used on the iPad, iPhone and iMac computer. Any person can use the software,” he said.

He said the software lets users recite a section of the Quran, which is then sent to the society’s website, where a teacher reviews the recital and offers advice. The user receives feedback within about 30 minutes.

The software is available only in Arabic. “We intend to expand the app into many languages and onto various platforms shortly. It will be available in English, Urdu, Tagalog, Burmese and Turkish. It will also be available on the Android platform, so it can be downloaded on other smartphones from Samsung, Nokia and Sony,” he said.
