Summary
Reading the Quran through a smartphone app is permissible. Having wudhu while doing so is considered recommended rather than obligatory. The reason given is that the app is not purely the Quran, but software into which the Quran has been incorporated.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukumnya adalah harus. Berkenaan dengan perlu ada wudhu atau tidak kami berpendapat adalah sunat ada wudhu.
