a while ago someone asked what good apps there was for the iphone.

here is my list, iv pretty much exhausted all the apps for these are my favourites.

islamic prayer beeds - isubha

this is a great tasbeeh app, its touch screen, counts totals, can create custom tasbeehs and does a total for each, how long it took, what time it ended etc. Great app for people who do dhikr

iquran lite - guided ways
its a free quran, i think this is more than adequate as there isnt a huge difference between the full and lite version. in full u get more audio options and landscape. it has translation and reciter audio in lite

ipray lite - guided ways
good app, i keep it even though my city isnt listed, there is a huge city db so when travelling you can pick up the big citys so can be of use

ipray full
same as above, but has auto detect so works out timing according to that.

qudsi -
free hadith app, no commentary but its free

quran reader - batoul apps
its a decent 15 line quran, where you get scanned images. its 1.19p
its good to read, downside is that its not free and you need to be able to read the non african print easily as its on the small screen

islamic calendar
good app, its free, does what it says perfectly, its good when reading articles and dates are in islamic format

zabihah lite
tells rastaurants in your locality or place of visit, its decent but based on testimonies. so you might find retaurants recommended which serve booze. not to all peoples liking but still ok

iazkar
dhikr and dua book
its good, problem is that there is no accents on any words, so unless ur arab or know arabic fully i wouldnt recommend it

salah time
its pretty decent, bit slow and has gone white screen on my once or twice. its 50p
very bog standard. personally if i was to spend money i would buy full ipray and save 50p

islamiclite
good looking app, you need push notifications so if ur jailbroken then forget this one. i dont think it works for me or is incredibly inaccurate. might be a shia app

mathnavi - al khawarizmi
cost 2.39p, contemplating getting my money back from apple. seems to have all the volumes but there is grammatical mistakes and the app design is poor.

al Mus'haf
GREAT QURAN APP!!! its free so get it. Its amazing in that you can turn pages etc.
BEST FREE QURAN APP ON IPHONE, just released. downside is that its 15 line, but still great

hadith - al bukhari - t-bone
its 50p for full bukhari sharif, bargain in my eyes, bought it today
not sure how it plays but its looks decent from screen shot, for 59p you cant get cheaper for full volumes

hadith - riyadus saliheen - t-bone
same as above, 59p bargain, looks great, in order with categories, search etc. great app


Ones to AVOID!!

i want halal

its ****, and wrong info

mathnavi as iv written about above

prob salah time too

islamic lite

iazkar - if you can read without accents then fair enough, if not then avoid

zabihah - read above


NOTE: poor grammer, punctuation is intentional, i dont have the time so i quickly blitzed this list
