Why is the settings menu bouncing up and down! ### 3/5 — Azaan notification does not work *2026-02-08* I have used this app for more than 10 years. Azaan notification works probably 5 percent the time. It is a great thing built in the system but only if it worked. It would be blessing if it could automatically notify you with daily change in prayer time. Great effort. With phone alarm, one has to change it at least weekly, if not daily. ### 4/5 — Widgets *2025-01-29, version 7.0.2* I would like to ask if widgets can be made according to the Islamic calendar, so I always remember the Islamic date on my phone. This would be much helpful. جزاكم الله خير ### 2/5 — Not accurate *2024-10-30, version 7.0.2* Its not accurate on time ### 3/5 — Really disappointed *2024-10-19, version 7.0.2* Removing the prayer gadget is one of the most disappointing things in this update ### 3/5 — Used to be great! *2024-09-04* Developers took away option to adjust hijri date which is a must in any Islamic app with lunar calendar. Now, the calendar feature - which is based on some auto moon algo is quite useless. ### 3/5 — Please add a close window in Settings *2024-08-17, version 7.0.2* The app is great but there is no way to close the Settings screen after making adjustment settings such as Jurisprudence on an iPhone ### 2/5 — Updates have ruined everything *2024-03-26, version 7.0.2* What used to be a great app with a very helpful active compass and a manual prayer time’s adjustment option in case your times were a few minutes off the city’s times for prayer, is now not useful at all. The recent update removed these functions rendering the app hardly useful. The prayer notifications expire quicker and eventually stop. It was brilliant in its early version but I’m not liking this updated version at all. ### 3/5 — A formerly great app that has lost key functionality since version 7.0 *2024-02-26, version 7.0.1* Firstlly I have used this app for many years. It has in that time been quick, easy to use, and efficiently provided me with key information. Since the version 7.0 redesign, unfortunattely it appears that efficiency, functionality and basically key things working right, are no longer the main considerations. For example, I previously used the compass function to find the correct direction and there used to be a vibration when the phone is pointed in the correct direction. This has seemingly been removed, and the whole compass screen now works far worse with VoiceOver, Apple's screen-reader. As a blind user, this now means I cannot use this app to find the right direction via the compass function and this is super disappointing, — please consider fixing this, otherwise I will have no choice but to find an alternative app. To end this on a positive, I've tried a few different apps over the years with the same functionality, and the reason this app has always remained my app of choice is because it just worked, clutter-free interface and fast to load. These things now seem in much doubt following the latest major update. ### 3/5 — Degree Calculation Method? *2024-02-23* I have been using this app for 5+ years. It was simple straightforward and the Custom Method under Degree Calculation Method was useful. Please bring back the Custom Calculation method! Without it, I will have to switch to a different app. It seems like you want people to stop using the app because they are not donating to you? Thanks! ### 3/5 — Please revert back *2024-02-07* This was one of the best apps for Athan and Qibla finder, but since you updated it we lost the ability to adjust the Hijri date and the prayer time. Please include these features in your future updates as it means a lot to most users. ### 2/5 — From best to not that good *2024-01-26, version 7.0.1* I guess the developer must have had an EGO Problem. This used to be the best app ### 4/5 — Kindly add Islamic date ardjestment *2023-12-15* Hy i was using this app since 9-10 years . It has a one very rare feature which other apps doesn’t …. To fix the islamic dates according to moon . NOW with the new update it become the regular app like all other shia calender / azan app . Please make that option back other wise there is nothing diffrent in your app and all others. And please add BIBI UMMUL BANEEN WAFAT DATE 13 jamadi ll new updates does’t have the ### 1/5 — User *2023-12-15, version 7.0.1* I used your Application for a very long time and I was very happy with it until the new update, I hated the way your bar looked and I lost all my favorite Athan makers. Simply this is the worst update and I want you to know that you lost me ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — لاتوجد لغة عربية للتطبيق لماذا ؟؟ *2026-02-21, version 7.0.6* لاتوجد لغة عربية للتطبيق لماذا ؟؟ اغرب تطبيق ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-08-06, version 7.0.2* Don’t recommend to any to download it, I used this app for long time but now it’s playing up.

Waste of time.. 👎👎 ### 1/5 — time left? to the next prayer time *2025-01-03, version 7.0.2* greetings/ my last version doesn’t show the time left. what should I do can not reach app developer (5 stars all the time./ just to get your attention to fix it) ### 1/5 — The compass is not working *2024-04-15, version 7.0.2* The compass is not working and the used to have a map with Makkah direction ### 1/5 — App is going down *2024-02-26, version 7.0.1* I’m using this app from last 13 years, I was able to adjust hijri calander and few other options were available too. Now no more. Instead of improving this app is going down. ### 1/5 — Bring back old version *2024-02-01, version 7.0.1* Old version with Athan was best. New design is completely different and I don’t like it. I’ll give 5 star once it’s back ### 1/5 — adjustment of prayer notifications time *2024-01-23, version 7.0.1* Salaam for the new version has much limited settings is applied like the adjustment of prayer notifications time is removed so that the benefits of that for some users is taken the thing that was an unique property of alQibla app Therefore I hope you put it again in the new version With regards or keep it as it was before this version. ### 1/5 — Bring back the old features *2024-01-11, version 7.0.1* Manual selection of location has disappeared! I travel a lot and prefer to know the destination timings before arrival! Tuning time also disappeared. ### 1/5 — Disappointed customer, how come you are not listening to us anymore *2024-01-10* For god sake , what have you done to this app , I have been using this app for years, and I was happy with it , I can customize the athan the way I want to , the time left for salat was so useful , the way the calendar organized , the compass option , it was truly a gem , most recent update destroyed it completely , looks so different and so plain in a negative way , no athan options , no customization, to be honest , it looks like a second grader wrote the update, please return the app the way it was, ### 1/5 — Compass *2024-01-02, version 7.0.1* Please go back to the previous version … this update is completely useless. No prayer time adjustments and a lot of setting options have been removed. Although, I paid for this , unfortunately I have to delete it now after it was very useful for many years. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app. *2026-01-30, version 7.0.5* I use this app a lot and it works great. ### 5/5 — Very good and useful *2025-12-21, version 7.0.3* I have been using this app for a while and I don’t see any problems with it. ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2025-05-21* JazakumAllah amazing app. I only use this for prayer and compass, so I was surprised that it even had an islamic calendar!
