Naqra

Terms of Use

Last updated: 11 November 2026

1. About these terms

These terms apply to the Naqra app, made by Giovandomenico Costantino, an individual developer based in Switzerland (“we”, “us”). By using Naqra you agree to them.

If you got Naqra from the App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”) also applies. If you got it from Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service also apply. These terms add to them.

2. The app

Naqra lets you read the Quran one ayah at a time, listen to recitations, look up tafsir and keep track of your reading. Some features are free. Others need a Naqra subscription. We may add, change or remove features over time.

3. Subscriptions and free trials

• Plans and prices: the available plans (for example monthly and yearly) and their prices in your currency are shown in the app before you buy.
• Payment: payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google account when you confirm the purchase, or when your free trial ends.
• Automatic renewal: your subscription renews automatically for the same length of time, at the price then in effect, unless you cancel before the end of the current period (on iPhone at least 24 hours before). Apple or Google charges the renewal shortly before the current period ends.
• Cancelling: on iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. On Android, open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. After you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.
• Free trials: if a free trial is offered (for example 7 days with the yearly plan), you will be charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before it ends (on iPhone at least 24 hours before). Apple or Google decides who is eligible for a trial. If you buy a subscription during a free trial, the rest of the trial ends.
• Refunds: purchases are processed by Apple or Google, so refunds are requested from them: from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, from Google as described in Google Play’s refund help.
• Price changes: if the price of your subscription changes, Apple or Google will tell you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent.

4. Quran text, translation and tafsir

• The Arabic text is the Uthmani script from the Tanzil Project. The translations come from QuranEnc.com, unchanged: English by Saheeh International (Noor International Center, version 1.1.2), German by A. S. F. Bubenheim and N. Elyas (version 1.1.5) and French by Muhammad Hamidullah (Rowwad Translation Center, version 1.0.2), with the translators’ notes. Word-by-word meanings, transliteration, the IndoPak script and its font, word timings and Tafsir Ibn Kathir (abridged): Quran data and fonts provided by Quran.Foundation. Tafsir Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir al-Quran (Tafsir Center for Quranic Studies) is loaded from QuranEnc.com. Recitations are streamed from the Islamic Network audio service; the copyright in each recitation belongs to its reciter.
• We take great care to show the text correctly. If you ever notice an error, please tell us straight away at giovandomenico.costantino17@gmail.com.
• Translations and tafsir convey the meaning of the Quran as understood by their authors. They are not the Quran itself, and nothing in the app is a religious ruling (fatwa). For religious guidance, please consult a qualified scholar.

5. Using the app

Naqra is for your personal, non-commercial use. Please don’t copy, modify, sell or reverse-engineer the app, use it to present altered Quran text, or use it in any way that breaks the law or harms others.

6. Ownership

The app, its design, the name Naqra and its logo belong to us. The Quran is not owned by anyone. Translations, tafsir and recitations belong to their respective rights holders and are credited above.

7. Availability

We work to keep Naqra running smoothly, but we can’t promise it will always be available or free of errors. Recitations and tafsir need an internet connection and depend on third-party services.

8. Liability

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the app. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for intent or gross negligence. If you are a consumer, you keep any rights that the law of your country gives you and that cannot be waived.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add features. We will update the date above and, for important changes, let you know in the app. If you keep using Naqra after a change, the new terms apply.

10. Law

These terms are governed by Swiss law. Courts at our place of residence in Switzerland have jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer protection law gives you the right to go to court where you live.
