We live in an age where you can literally access and do anything from the comfort of your own phones. This includes being able to observe the holy month of Ramadan more efficiently through different applications that can increase your good deeds and improve your knowledge. These apps have been recommended by many and have good reviews in terms of their performance and accessibility. We’ve composed a list of apps, some for both iPhone and Android operating systems, to help you out this Ramadan.
