User reviews

Orientation in time and space

This is great work.

Great app

It’s a great app, though I wish it would send me push notifications to remind me 1 day in advance about feast and holidays.

Straightforward elegance🔆

This calendar app is extremely helpful in ordering my Bahá’í life, day to day.
It is clear in its descriptions and intuitive in its interface.

Great job

This is the most complete, easy to use Baha’i calendar I’ve ever seen.

Useful

I’ve gotten valuable use from the Badí‘ calendar app. I love observing the progression of the sun throughout the night time and day time cycle. Other features are extremely helpful as well.
Please update it in a timely manner. Naw-Rúz 177 is tonight. I’d like to see the Holy Days reflect that (the correct year). Thank you for a wonderful app.

The Qiblih compass feature helps users find the direction of Bahji, Israel, which is the direction of prayer for the Badí' faith. It offers two versions: a traditional compass rose and a map-based implementation that can use landmarks for verification, especially if the device's internal compass is unreliable.
