Surah Yaseen for Android provides a complete and mobile edition of the surah often referred to as the Heart of the Quran.

Surah Yaseen, which is also spelled Surah Yasin and a number of other ways, is an Android app, and the name refers to a chapter within the Quran, which is the holy book of Islam. The Quran is made up of surahs or chapters, and each surah is further made up of ayahs or verses. At launch, this app provided a complete version of the Yaseen surah, which is often called the Heart of the Quran. This is a spiritual text that many Muslims like to have on their persons for recitation on a daily basis.

The app also has excellent language support. The Quran has been translated into more than 70 languages. This app has almost this many, which sets it apart from other Quran apps for Android, and the developers promise to continue adding new languages until it is complete. With the Yaseen surah completed, the developers have also begun to add other surahs to the collection.

Users can choose translations, transliterations and recitations. Translations can be viewed side-by-side with the original text, and there are numerous recitations that can be accessed with just a long-press. If multiple recitations for a verse are available, a list is presented so you can choose one. One feature we’d like to see added in the future is the option to choose a favored recitation so that it just plays when requested.

The only knock against the Surah Yaseen app for Android is that it is not yet a complete Quran. Since the developers have expanded their efforts beyond their initial focused goal, it is not an unreasonable expectation. Furthermore, that expectation is a result of just how polished this app is. A complete version would be a powerful resource for both spiritual and educational purposes. In the defense of the developers, the app supports many languages, and all additions to the app are available in all of them.
