About this app

Samaa listens and tells you exactly which verse you are hearing.

Play a recitation, or recite yourself, and Samaa matches the words against the full Quran text, returning the surah and ayah in seconds, with the Arabic, translation and transliteration ready to read.

Identify any recitation

• Works with any voice — Samaa recognises the words, not the reciter
• Picks up recitation playing nearby, from a speaker, a video or another app
• Follows along verse by verse as the recitation continues

Read and listen

• Full mushaf reader with beautiful Arabic typography
• English translation and transliteration alongside every verse
• Multiple reciters for playback
• Bookmarks and listening history, so you can return to any verse you found

On your home screen

• Daily Ayah widget — a verse to reflect on each day, without opening the app

Free and Premium

Samaa is free to use, with a daily listening limit. Premium removes the limit and adds unlimited recognition, offline surah downloads for reading and playback without a connection, and early access to new features.

Subscriptions are billed through Google Play and renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel any time in the Play Store.
