Quran Gallery FAQ: iPhone, offline, free, plans, notes

Short answers to the questions people ask most about the Quran reader at /quran. Each answer links to the page with the detail.

Does it work on iPhone and iPad?

Yes. The reader is a web app, so it runs in Safari and any other modern browser on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows. You can add it to your home screen for a full-screen launch: open /quran in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. The steps for each browser are on the Apps page. The Apps page describes a web app you install from the browser and lists no separate download for an app store.

Is it free, without ads and without an account?

Reading is free and needs no account: text, translations, tafsir, audio and repeat all work signed out. No advertising code was found in the reader. Features that save something for you need an account: reading plans, bookmarks, notes, collections and streaks. Sign in at accounts.qurangallery.com. See Your Quran Gallery account.

What works offline?

Only the surah text. After you open the Quran once while online, the reader downloads surahs in the background, with the Arabic script, translations and word-by-word you have selected. Audio, tafsir and other views still need a connection. See Offline reading.

Which riwayat and printed editions are there?

Scan mode shows page images of printed muṣḥafs. The library includes Ḥafṣ, Warsh, Qālūn, Dūrī and Shu’bah editions, Urdu editions and a colour-coded Tajweed copy, and you pick the edition in Preferences. The site states what each edition is and does not rank them. The list is on Muṣḥaf editions; how Scan mode works is in Reading the muṣḥaf.

How do I repeat a verse range?

Start a recitation, tap repeat in the player bar, choose Range, set the surah and the From verse and To verse, then press Start playing. You can set the play count, how many times each verse repeats, and a delay between plays. There is no Repeat this page button; use the first and last verse of the page as the range. See Repeat a verse range to memorise.

Yes, it needs sign-in, because the plan saves to your account. At /quran/plans pick a 30-day, 6-month or 1-year preset, or create a custom plan with your own start and end dates and the weekdays you want off. The plan works out the daily share, such as about 21 verses a day, and gives you a day-by-day schedule with a progress bar. See Khatam planner.

Do my notes sync? Can I export them?

Notes, bookmarks and collections save to your account and appear on every device where you sign in. My Quran gathers them in one place. The reader has no button to export all your notes, collections or bookmarks in one file. To get a copy of the data held about you, write to support@qurangallery.com, as the privacy page describes.

How is it different from quran.com, Quran Loop or Tarteel?

These are different tools with different strengths, and this is not a ranking. The details below come from the home pages of each product, read on 2026-11-01, so check their sites for the current state.

quran.com is a large non-profit Quran site. It has word-by-word reading, audio, reading goals and account sync.
Quran Loop is built around looping a verse range, with a repeat count and word highlighting, and it offers page images of the printed muṣḥaf.
Tarteel is known for checking your recitation with AI. It also has plans, a muṣḥaf view and a free tier alongside paid features.
Quran Gallery puts several things in one web reader: printed muṣḥaf scans in many riwayat, verse and range repeat, a khatam plan with rest days, word-by-word, morphology, tafsir and synced notes. It has no notes export.

Can a family or group read a khatam together?

Not as a shared khatam plan: reading plans are personal. For reading together, study circles share one verse a day among the members of a circle, and each member can add what they wrote about it. You start a circle after signing in, and others join with its six-character code. Circles keep a record and no score.
