Yes. Irania is free to download and use, and no subscription is required. The app may show clearly labelled contextual business advertisements; it does not use personalized or behavioral advertising.

What languages does Irania support?

Irania supports both English and Persian (Farsi / فارسی) with full native right-to-left (RTL) layout for Persian. You can switch languages instantly at any time within the app.

What types of businesses are listed on Irania?

Irania lists Persian-owned businesses across 14 categories, including food, health, legal, finance, housing, education, technology, creative services, events, transportation, retail, sports, pet care, and community resources. There are over 1000 curated business listings across the supported cities.

How do I list my Persian business on Irania?

Business owners can add their business directly inside the Irania app. Download the app, sign in, and use the in-app business submission flow to send your listing for review.

What is the City Settlement Guide feature?

The City Settlement Guide is a curated library of practical guides inside the Irania app to help Iranian newcomers settle into their new city. Topics include government and documents, work and employment, education and schools, transit, healthcare, housing, and daily life — all in plain language in both English and Persian.

How do Irania deals work?

Irania Deals are exclusive discounts and offers from Persian-owned businesses in your city. Browse available deals inside the app, tap on a business for details, and show the deal on your phone at checkout to save. New deals are added regularly and are only available through the Irania app.

What can I find on Irania besides businesses?

Browse local events and deals, housing listings, jobs, Wall of Kindness free-item posts, Kolbar traveler and parcel requests, educational material, city news, weather, Taghvim, maps, favourites, and reviews. Available sections depend on your selected city and current community submissions.

What is Kolbar on Irania?

Kolbar helps travelers with spare luggage space connect with people who need something moved between cities. Users can browse traveler posts or requests, but must follow the in-app safety notice: never carry sealed or unknown packages, and Irania does not inspect users or parcel contents or mediate disputes.

Can I submit content to Irania?

Signed-in users can submit businesses, events, deals, housing listings, job posts, Wall of Kindness items, and Kolbar traveler or request posts for review. Approved submissions are published to the relevant city when they meet Irania’s requirements.

What does Taghvim include?

Taghvim converts between Shamsi/Jalali and Gregorian dates and shows Persian holidays alongside relevant public holidays for the selected city or country. You can filter back to Persian holidays when you want a Persian-only view.
