Batoul Apps

Arabic support in the iPhone has never been properly implemented. Currently the letters will show up but won't be connected and sometimes show up backwards, as seen in the screenshot below



But I have excellent news, the new iPhone OS 3.0 fully supports Arabic. It can display Arabic properly and even has an Arabic keyboard available, check out the screenshots below




InshAllah with this new new Arabic support I will be able to add Arabic localization to all my apps (Guidance and Quran Reader) and I will now be able to make my next app, Supplication, a Dua' app with dua's in English and Arabic that I plan to release for free on the App Store this summer.

I'm happy to announce our latest iPhone app, Quran Reader. Unlike other Quran applications for the iPhone, Quran Reader gives you the entire Quran in the original Othmani format in Arabic.

Quran Reader lets you flip through and read the Quran the exact same way you would a physical mus'haf. Quran Reader's polished user interface is easy to use and intuitive. Scroll through the index to the Surah you want or enter in the exact page number you want to go to, or jump to one of the bookmarks that you've created. Flip through each page with a swipe of your finger, pinch with two fingers to zoom in or out, or tap on a page to bring up the controls and bookmark a page. Quran Reader will even automatically go back to the last page you were viewing when open it again.

Quran Reader for the iPhone is the pre-cursor to Quran.app for Mac OS X which will now be undergoing development inshAllah.
