In short. Verse of Ease has no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no crash reporting and no tracking. The app contains no code that sends information about you anywhere. This version makes no network requests at all. You can check this yourself, because Verse of Ease works completely in airplane mode.
What stays on your phone
Verse of Ease keeps a small amount of information in its own storage on your phone so that it can work. None of it is ever sent to us or to anyone else. All of it is erased when you delete the app.
- Your location. This is the city you picked from the built-in list or approximate coordinates from your phone if you tapped “Use my location”. It is used for one thing only: calculating your prayer times on the phone.
- Your settings. These are the calculation method, Asr timing, reminder frequency, quiet hours, Hijri date adjustment, appearance, text sizes, translation language, what reminders show on the lock screen and the verses you saved.
- Your journal. This lists the verses that reached you in recent days and the verses you chose to memorise with their review dates. It has no scores and no streaks.
- A technical error log. It holds the last 100 error messages and app start-up timings so that problems can be diagnosed. You can read it and clear it in Settings. It is never sent anywhere.
- Your upcoming reminders. They are scheduled through your phone’s own notification system.
Permissions Verse of Ease asks for
- Location (optional, approximate). Asked only if you tap “Use my location”. You can pick your city instead. On iPhone the request reads:
Verse of Ease uses your approximate location, on this device only, to calculate your local prayer times. It is never sent anywhere. You can pick your city instead.
- Notifications (optional). To show a verse at the prayer times you choose. In Settings you can choose to show only the verse reference on the lock screen.
- Exact alarms (Android, optional). Android may delay reminders to save battery. If you allow exact alarms in the system settings, each reminder arrives at the prayer time itself.
Verse of Ease also runs a short task in the background about once a day to schedule your next reminders and refresh its home-screen widget. It runs entirely on your phone. Verse of Ease does not ask for your precise location, microphone, camera, contacts or photos.
Sharing a verse
When you tap Share, the verse image is made on your phone and handed to your phone’s share sheet. Where it goes next is your choice. The app you share it with has its own privacy policy.
What Verse of Ease never does
- No accounts or sign-in.
- No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
- No analytics or crash-reporting services.
- No tracking across apps or websites.

The one link that leaves the app
“Read the full surah on Quran.com” opens your browser only when you tap it. Verse of Ease sends nothing to Quran.com. Once the page opens, Quran.com’s own privacy policy applies.
