How to use this comparison
This guide is published by UMRA Tech, the maker of Quran Widget. It compares stated features from official developer pages and store listings reviewed on October 26, 2026. It is not an independent ranking or a hands-on benchmark of every app.
We link the source for each option. Features, access and device requirements can change; confirm the listing and in-app offer before subscribing. No competitor download estimates, hidden keywords or unsupported performance claims are used.
Start with your phone and screen
For iPhone, check that the app offers the Home Screen or Lock Screen widget you actually want. These are separate widget surfaces with different space limits.
For Android, confirm a native Home Screen widget. A website widget, a wallpaper and an iPhone-only app do not answer the same need. Manufacturer-specific Lock Screen support needs a separate check.
Compare the free widget, not just the download
Read which exact widget remains available without subscribing. If an app offers a free trial, check what happens after it ends. Look for a working free verse widget before paying for a design.
Quran Widget’s Classic Home Screen verse widget and iPhone Daily Verse Lock Screen widget are free. Other listed apps describe different free and paid boundaries; use their linked sources to check the current offer.
Test readability and translation
Install your shortlist and try both a short and a long ayah in your preferred translation. Check Arabic shaping, font size, contrast, the verse reference and what happens when the text is too long.
Use a larger Home Screen widget for longer translations. Lock Screen widgets are compact, so check the actual result on your phone rather than relying only on a store image.
A practical five-minute test
Open the app and load a verse. Add the widget, change the translation, lock and unlock the phone, and tap the widget to read the full verse. Then leave it installed long enough to observe the next daily refresh.
The operating system schedules widget updates. Do not expect continuous live updates or judge daily refresh reliability from a five-minute setup alone. Keep the widget that you can read and use consistently.
Questions about Quran widgets
Which Quran widget app is best?
Choose by supported phone, Home Screen or Lock Screen placement, your preferred translation, readable text and genuine free access. This publisher-owned guide compares stated features and does not claim an independent performance ranking.
Is Ayah Widget on Android the same app as ayahwidget.app?
Do not assume that from the name. The Android listing by Yazeed Alhumaid and the iPhone-focused ayahwidget.app site are separate product identities in the sources reviewed here.
