Great app but please help!

This app is wonderful and very satisfying to use (and I’ve tried many). Unfortunately, since the last iOS update (18), I can no longer see the prayer time on my watch face unless I click on the two lines - - that appear instead. It used to show when the next prayer time was without having to click on anything but I’m not sure what happened. Can you please fix this 🥲

Best prayer app out there

I love how when using an apple watch, it gives a notification about the prayer time and allowing you to play the adhan on the phone rather than playing it by default. Clean UI and haven’t had any bugs so far. Def worth the small price

A few faults

The Adan dye prior to prayers for fajar
Either FAIKS TO KAUNCH AUTOMATICALLY or simply appears at random moments I’ve no idea why?
It would be great if some of these issues could be fixed?
A great app on the whole I’ve been using it fur more than 22 years now and it just needs weekly updates on the minor Dailey time change differences apart from that it’s just the Fajar prayer announcement lacking which I yearn to hear before the alert for fajar I would dearly appreciate being fixed 🤲🏻🔜💯

Ingenious app

I am a big fan of simplicity and privacy. This app never disappoints.

Lovely, but flaw with Watch app

This app is great. I’m pretty choosy about the apps I download, and I have no regrets downloading Guidance.

My only qualm is with the Watch app. It looks great, but, critically, it won’t show me prayer times for my location. Instead, it shows prayer times for Mecca. Can this be fixed? The Watch app/complication are fairly useless otherwise.

Jazakum Allahu khair!

10/10

App looks good. I don't like that the compass is always on with the application. The biggest problem though is Asr time is wrong in all the madhabs.

Love it with one wish

I started using Guidance on my Mac laptop and enjoyed it so much. It automatically detects my location and updates prayer time accordingly. It automatically switches times with DLS start and end. When I found the iPhone version, I didn’t hesitate to buy it. I loved the iPhone version even more. It works with Apple Watch and has complications you can use right on your watch face. Scrolling over future prayer times is very convenient. Showing the quibla direction on the map is much more accurate than using compass. However, my wish is to add the compass option so that you can still find the approximate quibla when you are indoors and cannot tell where you are wrt the map.

Elegant

Minimalist, yet all the advanced adjustment features you need. I only wish I had the ability to notify 30 mins before asr and Zuhr ends (not starts)

No adhan announcement

I paid for the app so the adhan is called, it is also on in the settings, but it doesn’t announce the call to prayer. Please help, how can resolve this issue?

Compass doesn’t work

On the whole, I appreciate the functionality of this app. It gives me what I need and doesn’t clutter it up with all kinds of unnecessary other stuff.

What I’m not happy with is the compass, and the lack of any useful information on how to use or fix it.
The little arrow always points north, NOT at the Qibla, as one would both hope and expect. You can click on it, and you get a maps screen with some buttons, but none of them has any explanation about how they work, nor corrects the underlying problem.

There is no documentation available (presumably because the developer feels the app “just works”). The “app support“ link in the App Store just goes to a splash page for the app. And the developer does not respond to the one communication channel he provides.

So no luck. If you aren’t paying attention or are someplace unfamiliar, and you trust that little arrow to point you in the right direction, you’ll do your prayers facing north instead of the direction of prayer.
