Recently Apple removed a popular Quran app from its China App Store at the behest of the People’s Republic.
Quran Majeed is a free app for reading and listening to the Quran. It was developed by Pakistan Data Management Services. It’s available on Android too.
However, the removal of the app may not be as sinister as it seems.
Here is what the developers told BBC:

Also, as far as we know, no other Quran apps were affected.
