For questions, feedback, or to report a mistake, email quranscroll.app@gmail.com. If you're reporting an error in a study note, please include the ayah reference (for example 2:255). You can also use "Report an error" under any study note in the app.

Common questions

Where do the study notes come from? Each note is written by an AI model told to use only Ibn Kathir's tafsir (abridged English), the Arabic and its translation, and to cite them. A second pass checks each note against those sources. Notes on legal or disputed questions, and any the check could not confirm, are marked as not yet reviewed. They are an aid to understanding, not religious rulings.

Why do some ayahs say "Study notes coming soon"? Notes are being added surah by surah in app updates.

Does recitation work offline? Each recitation is downloaded the first time you play it and kept on your device after that.
