6 Best Tasbih Counter Apps for Android

Last updated: October 13, 2026

A tasbih counter app does one job: it counts your dhikr so your mind stays on the remembrance, not the numbers. After prayer, on a commute, before sleep — your phone is always with you, while physical beads are easy to forget at home. But not all counter apps are equal. Some show ads in the middle of your dhikr. Some quietly share your device data. And search results for "best tasbih counter apps" are mostly app-store listings and directories — there is no serious independent roundup. So this guide was built the hard way: every app below was checked live on the Google Play Store on October 13, 2026, and real user reviews were read for the complaints developers never mention.

How to pick a tasbih counter app: what actually matters

1. Ads during dhikr. This is the big one. An ad popping up while you are doing dhikr breaks the whole point of the app. Check whether the app is truly ad-free or just claims to be — user reviews tell the truth here.

2. Targets and alerts. A good counter lets you set a target (33, 100, 1,000) and tells you when you reach it — with sound or vibration, so you do not have to watch the screen.

3. History and statistics. Daily, weekly, and total counts turn dhikr into a visible habit. If the app forgets everything when you close it, it is just a clicker.

4. Offline use. You will use this in the masjid and while traveling. Counting must work with no signal.

5. Privacy. Read the data-safety section on the Play listing. Some popular counters share device IDs with third parties and say your data cannot be deleted.

6. Comfort features. Night mode for low light, vibration so you can count without looking, background counting, and autoplay for long sessions — small things that matter daily.

1. eTasbih — the best all-rounder

eTasbih by AwardSofts is the most complete free option. Count with built-in phrases or create your own, set counting targets, review your history and statistics, and use sound or vibration feedback. It runs in the background, has an autoplay mode that learns your pace for hands-free counting during long sessions, and offers light and dark themes. Reviewers confirm there are no ads — rare for this category. As a bonus, it bundles a full Tajweed Quran with color-coded recitation rules, translations, and audio from well-known reciters. It holds a 4.77-star rating from about 19,000 reviews.

The honest part: the interface tries to do a lot (Quran + counter in one app), so it can feel busy at first. If you want a counter and nothing else, one of the simpler picks below is calmer.

Best for: users who want the most features with zero ads.

2. Digital Tasbeeh Counter — the most popular, with caveats

With a 4.94-star rating from over 100,000 reviews, this is the most-installed dedicated counter on the list. It is designed like a ring-shaped tasbih: tap to count, feel the vibration, save each dhikr with its name and date, and keep counting even after closing and reopening the app. Night mode saves battery during long sessions.

The honest part — and it is serious: the listing claims you will not see ads during dhikr, but user reviews report ads anyway, including gambling ads, which is the worst possible category for a worship app. One reviewer fixed it by turning off Wi-Fi, which tells you everything. The data-safety section is also rough: it may share device IDs with third parties, collects app activity and device info, and says the data cannot be deleted. Enormously popular, but go in with your eyes open.

Best for: users who want the most battle-tested counter and can tolerate (or block) the ads.

3. Tasbih Counter Lite — best target alerts, pay once to remove ads

From the same developer family (tasbih.app), this one focuses on doing the basics well: vibration and sound alerts, target alerts at multiples of your chosen number, a counter that survives closing the app, night mode, and color customization. Reviewers praise how smooth it feels and love the target feature. It holds a 4.90-star rating from about 19,000 reviews and was updated in February 2026.

The honest part: the free version has ads, and one reviewer found the white ad banner painfully distracting in night mode — exactly when you want darkness. The fix is a one-time in-app purchase (not a subscription), which is the fairest ad-removal model on this list. Same privacy caveat as its sibling: device IDs may be shared, and data cannot be deleted.

Best for: users who want great target alerts and a one-time (not monthly) ad removal.

4. TasbApp — the simplest offline counter

TasbApp keeps it simple: record as many different dhikrs as you want, pick up exactly where you left off, toggle vibration and rosary sounds, and change colors. It works fully offline and is described as almost ad-free. With a 4.93-star rating from about 6,600 reviews, it is smaller than the giants above but loved by the people who use it.

The honest part: "almost" ad-free means occasional ads can appear, and the smaller review count means fewer eyes have stress-tested it. But for a clean, simple, offline counter, it is hard to beat.

Best for: users who want a minimal counter that works offline with no fuss.

5. Tasbeeh Dhikr Counter — the prayer-bead feel

This one is designed to feel like real prayer beads, with a bead-style interface, vibration and sound feedback, and offline counting for dhikr, istighfar, salawat, and daily duas. If the ring-tap style of the other apps feels abstract, this is the closest to holding actual beads. It has about 17,700 reviews.

The honest part: at 4.25 stars, it has the lowest rating among the established picks here — a sign of real user frustration. And ad-free requires a pro subscription, so factor that into your decision.

Best for: users who want the physical-bead feeling on screen.

6. GoDhikr — the social one

GoDhikr tries something none of the others do: private dhikr circles. Invite family or friends with a code, share progress, and climb a private leaderboard — friendly competition in good deeds. You can also log counts from your physical beads, create custom dhikr, and keep your totals private if you prefer. Updated in August 2026.

The honest part: it is newer and smaller than the rest, with no large public rating base yet — so it is less battle-tested. The social features also mean creating a profile, which the purely private counters do not ask for. But if doing dhikr with family would keep you consistent, nothing else on this list offers it.

Best for: families and friends who want to motivate each other.

Quick verdict: which one should you install?

Want the most features with no ads? eTasbih — the complete package.
Want the most popular counter? Digital Tasbeeh Counter — but read the ad and privacy caveats first.
Want the best target alerts? Tasbih Counter Lite — one purchase removes ads forever.
Want the simplest offline counter? TasbApp — minimal and clean.
Want the bead feeling? Tasbeeh Dhikr Counter — if you accept the subscription.
Want to do dhikr with family? GoDhikr — private circles and leaderboards.

Make it stick: tie counting to your day

A counter only works if you open it. The habit advice from writers who cover Islamic apps applies here too: pick one app, put it on your home screen, and attach it to something you already do — the 33 tasbihat after each prayer is the natural anchor. Set a daily target in the app and let the alert tell you when you are done. Pair your counter with a good dua app for Android for the words themselves, and check our prayer time apps guide so you never miss the prayer that the dhikr follows.

Frequently asked questions

Are tasbih counter apps free?

All six picks are free to install. eTasbih and TasbApp are effectively ad-free. Tasbih Counter Lite and Tasbeeh Dhikr Counter show ads unless you pay once (Lite) or subscribe (Pro). Digital Tasbeeh Counter's ad situation is disputed — its listing claims no ads during dhikr, but reviewers report seeing them.

Do tasbih counter apps work offline?

Yes. Counting itself works offline in all six apps. TasbApp and Tasbeeh Dhikr Counter are fully offline; eTasbih needs internet only for downloading Quran content and cloud backup.

Can a tasbih app replace physical prayer beads?

For counting, yes — apps add targets, history, and reminders that beads cannot. Many users keep both: beads at home, the app when traveling. GoDhikr even lets you log counts from your physical beads into the app.

Which tasbih app has no ads at all?

eTasbih is the cleanest — reviewers confirm no ads. TasbApp is described as almost ad-free. The sevapp counters and the muslimidia counter show ads on their free versions, removable with a purchase.

Is my dhikr data private in these apps?

Check the data-safety section before installing. The two sevapp counters (Digital Tasbeeh Counter and Tasbih Counter Lite) may share device IDs with third parties and say collected data cannot be deleted. eTasbih's reviewers report a cleaner privacy picture.
