Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to see prayer times and the Qibla?
No. Prayer times, the countdown and the Qibla direction open without an account. You only need to sign in to turn on prayer reminders.
How accurate is the Qibla direction?
It is calculated from your device location to the Kaaba, so accuracy depends on your location and your phone's compass. Turn on location services instead of the approximate location, and move the phone in a figure-8 to calibrate.
Why do the times differ by a few minutes from my local mosque?
Times depend on the calculation method. The tool picks one automatically by your location, and you can change it, for example to Umm al-Qura, Gulf Region or Muslim World League. For prayer, follow your mosque or official local authority.
Will the prayer reminder reach me when the app is closed?
After you sign in and tap the bell beside a prayer, a notification is sent even with the app closed if your device allows notifications, though it may sometimes arrive late. Otherwise the alert shows only while the app is open.
