Insane that this is for free. Allahummabarik, great work ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-17, version 7.5* This app is amazing Alhamdulilah we got this app Im our life 🫶🏽 ### 5/5 — No Ads, Halal Developer, Good Person *2026-05-14, version 7.5* Thank you for making an add free app that doesn’t spam with malicious ads like the other apps. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-05-07, version 7.5* The first one only wants to show you the prayer times. Thank you so much for your great job. ### 5/5 — Jazakallah khair *2026-04-13, version 7.5* This app without ad has made life so easier. This app is very clean UI and quick to get adapt to. May Allah Reward you ! ### 5/5 — Anwar Ahmad *2026-04-10, version 7.5* The best ever Athan App in my use for 4/5 years. I wish i had known and downloaded this App as soon as it was launched. جزاكم الله خيراً كثيراً كثيرا ### 5/5 — Best Athan App I Have Seen *2026-04-05, version 7.5* This app is simple and quite functional. It does everything an app for Athan should. At the same time, it doesn't have any ads and does not collect and sell data as far as I know, so it also does not do what an app for Athan shouldn't! Thanks a lot for this app! ### 4/5 — Needs improvement *2026-03-25, version 7.5* I need to add my own athan ### 5/5 — Best athen *2026-03-23, version 7.5* I love it so far.. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-03-15, version 7.5* The only app a good muslim needs ### 5/5 — Appréciation *2026-03-11, version 7.5* J’aime beaucoup l’application, elle est très simple d’utilisation et offre des rappels 15 minutes avant l’heure de prière. Ce rappel me permet de me préparer en conséquence afin de faire ma prière à l’heure. Le seul point à améliorer est que lorsque mon téléphone s’éteint, l’athan arrête. Il faut donc que « j’empêche » mon téléphone de s’éteindre si je veux entendre l’athan au complet. BarakAllah fik notre frere Omar pour cette application, qu’Allah te récompense pour chaque athan et chaque notification qui retentit ! 🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Best Athan Prayer Times App *2026-03-11, version 7.5* I’ve used many apps for getting salah times since having a smartphone and this one I learned about from my brother and I deleted the rest of them since. I use to use Athan, but they started putting unnecessary ads which made it hard to open during suhoor/iftar times and especially in the masjid (the ads were sometimes inappropriate). This app is so simple, yet so advanced. It gives me the times of the local masjids and even provides a compass. The only thing I will say is you have to calibrate the compass (like any other app) and make sure it’s correct before using. Don’t just jump on the app and assume it’s giving the correct direction as you open it. The best thing about this app is the widgets! I can use them on my Lock Screen, Home Screen and Apple Watch. Additionally, they added a countdown for suhoor! So even when I lock my phone, I can see the time quickly by tapping my phone. 1000/10 ### 5/5 — MashAllah the best *2026-03-10, version 7.5* This is free Allah blessed this app ### 5/5 — Best Athan app period. *2026-03-09* One of the best Athan notifications app I have ever used. I love the simplicity and dedicated for Muslims without ads. Hope inshaAllah in the future we see qibla finder to be integrated in the app so we could only have one app instead of two. All in all, I am extremely pleased with the app and hope that the developer make tokens for people to purchase to support more app enhancements. JAK for the efforts. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-03-08, version 7.5* I am so happy I found this app. So far, the best Athan app. Definitely recommend! My fave part is that you can see the prayer time before even unlocking your phone. The only thing I would add is that on that same spot you put the kibla so we don’t have to open the actual app. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-02-25, version 7.5* Athan ### 5/5 — Excellent app & doesn’t sell data *2026-02-24, version 7.5* This app has been useful. I like the options for choosing the reciting style. Most of all I love that the creator does not track anything and doesn’t sell our data. Other athan apps or Quran apps do. ### 5/5 — Beautiful App *2026-02-20, version 7.5* Mashallah this app works very well especially using it on my lock screen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Durée de l’a shan *2026-03-26, version 7.5* Prolonger la durée de l’afghan jusqu’à la fin ### 1/5 — Simple easily *2026-02-03, version 7.3.2* Simple easy, just what you need is the Athan prayer times and qibla direction, no other stuffs is need ### 1/5 — App showing incorrect time of the prayers *2023-03-26, version 6.4.2* I have noticed 2 glaring issues in the app: 1. App highlights incorrect prayer time. At Fajr time, it highlights that Isha time is approaching. 2. Prayer Times shown on the widget and home page of the app are different from what is shown in the calendar view of the app. Looks like home page and widget shows yesterday’s prayer times instead of current date. On 2 days we prayed Maghrib at the wrong time because of incorrect time shown on the app. These issues make the app useless, especially during Ramadan when every second of Fajr time and Maghrib Time matters. ### 1/5 — Calculation Method funktioniert nicht *2022-06-16* Wenn man in den Einstellungen die Calculation Method ändert, ändern sich die Gebetszeiten gar nicht! Es wurde alles mögliches für den Standort Potsdam ausprobiert. Leider funktioniert es nicht. In anderen Gebetszeiten ist Fajr für den 01.06.22 um 03:59 nach Shafi und Calculation Method „Umm Al Qaywayn“, in dieser App aber steht 01:07 Uhr. Ich ändere die Bewertung auf 5 Sterne, sobald der Bug behoben wird. Ansonsten das ist eine super App! Und noch dazu ohne Werbung. Barakallahu feeq! ### 1/5 — Location *2020-10-23, version 5.0.4* It’s not detecting location. Potentially good but at the moment useless ### 3/5 — Great App, One Small Feedback *2026-03-24, version 7.5* Please add the correct athan for the Fajr prayer. ### 3/5 — The qibla compass keeps acting up *2024-09-09, version 7.2.2* Please review the cordinate system for the qibla direction and push an update for it. Thanks ### 3/5 — Qibla *2024-01-24* No Qibla direction ### 3/5 — Widgets not loading *2020-12-31, version 5.0.41* The widgets don't load. Also would have been nice to have Apple watch complications. ### 3/5 — Looks great but doesn’t work atm *2020-12-07, version 5.0.41* Has potential but it will not trace location and cannot input it manually either therefore unable to get any prayer time. unusable at the moment until this is resolved. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best of the best *2026-08-06, version 7.5* Best Athan app I ever used simple, pleasant, and little to no ads. ### 5/5 — Best athan app *2026-08-02, version 7.5* This genuinely is a hidden gem of an athan app. No issues for years. ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-07-30, version 7.5* I love it ### 5/5 — Simply the best *2026-07-25, version 7.5* Most intuitive ad-free athan app out there.
