Mobile App Usage Question
E
Edrees G
Assalamu alaikum,
Hope all is well. I've built a free iOS prayer app that is prayer times, Qibla, and the Quran with recitations. It has no ads, no tracking, and collects no user data.
Moonz streams recitation audio from api.quran.com and verses.quran.com, one request per surah, with optional per-surah download for offline listening. I wanted to write before release rather than after, for two reasons:
- To ask whether you're happy for a free public app to stream from these endpoints, and whether there are attribution or rate limits I should respect.
- To check whether the recitations themselves carry any restriction I should know about, since the recordings are performances with their own rights.
I'd rather ask than assume. If self-hosting or a different arrangement would be preferable, I'm happy to change how the app works.
The app is free and will stay free. Happy to credit the Quran Foundation anywhere you'd like.
Jazakum Allahu khayran

Jazakum Allahu khayran for reaching out before releasing your app and for providing these details.
Since your questions involve API usage, audio streaming, offline downloads, attribution, and recitation rights, we’ll share your request with the appropriate team for guidance.
We also recommend using the official Quran Foundation developer/API access process, where the applicable usage terms and requirements can be reviewed.
