- Islamic app builders and people studying faith technology
- Worth noticing
- The research spans 34 searches across six countries; Apple does not publish downloads, so its App Store comparison uses launch dates and ratings.
Field notes
The report groups the sampled apps into Quran, prayer/adhan/qibla, dua/dhikr/tasbih, all-in-one, and other Islamic categories, with counts and install totals for each. Its methodology distinguishes Google Play’s published install counts from the App Store comparison, which relies on launch dates and ratings. The author also says the stores’ search results are limited, making the reported app totals a partial view rather than a complete census.
