Regarding the long description,

Not everyone knows that "Othmani script" is a script for Arabic. (I
didn't know it anyway;) So it might be worth mentioning that the text is
in Arabic only (is it?).

I suggest "Othman brower features fast search and autoscrolling"

Copy/Paste is a trivial feature. You might want to drop it from the
description (except if this feature is fairly unique for Quran readers)

I wonder who many people use the word "Coran" for Qur'an in English. If
this is quite frequent, you might want insert this synonym somewhere in
the description.

My 2 cents,
