### 5/5 — Excellent prayer app

*2025-03-12, version 2.0*

Alim Prayer Minder found to be a fantastic app for Muslims who want a reliable and customizable prayer companion. It provides accurate prayer timings with notifications and Qibla direction finder. Highly recommended!

### 1/5 — Crashes every time you open it

*2023-07-28, version 1.4*

Same as the previous persons review

### 1/5 — Juristics

*2023-04-18*

After setting juristics to hanafi, the app auto switches back to shafii on it’s own. This literally makes this app plus all other Alim prayer timing apps useless. This problem has been going on for years.

### 5/5 — Add free .

Clean interface. Simple. May Allah grant App maker Jannah.
