## What is Munara?

Munara is a calm daily companion for Muslims around the world.

Prayer times can vary by country, city, mosque, and the calculation method your community follows. Munara gives you the essentials in one simple place, with the flexibility to choose the prayer calculation method, Asr calculation, high-latitude rule, and manual offsets that match where you live or the timetable you follow.

See today’s prayer times, find the Qibla direction, follow the Hijri date, and set reminders for each prayer. Whether you’re at home, travelling, studying, or checking prayer times for another city, Munara is designed to stay clear, focused, and easy to read throughout the day.

Make Munara your own with 16 carefully crafted themes, including the Premium OLED Black theme — a true black theme designed for OLED displays, delivering deeper blacks, higher contrast, and a beautifully distraction-free experience. Your selected theme is applied consistently across the app, widgets, and Apple Watch.

Prefer to go hands-free? Ask Siri for your prayer times, the next or current prayer, the Hijri date, or the Qibla, play the full athan, or add a Lock Screen button — all without opening the app.

### 5/5 — Munara App

*2026-07-30*

I like the apps design. It is pretty clean and simple. The design doesn’t clutter you with ads or unnecessary information unlike some Athan/Azan apps I’ve used. I like the watch feature and it has some unique features for Friday prayer reminders, grooming, duas. It’s feature rich but not cluttered. The Ui design seems pretty purposeful and well laid out. 

My only confusion so far is how to set the Athan reciter. It doesn’t give any options that I see to set a specific reciter or audio but maybe I missed it? 

Overall pretty sleek app and I prefer it over the many other Athan apps I’ve tried.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful review and kind words. I’m glad you appreciate the clean design and that the app stays feature-rich without feeling cluttered, that was one of the main goals when building Munara.

Regarding the Athan reciter, you’re correct. At the moment, Munara uses a single default Athan reciter, so there isn’t currently an option to choose between different reciters. It’s something I’m considering for a future update based on user feedback. Thanks for pointing it out!

### 5/5 — A Truly Useful for every Muslim

*2026-05-25*

This app is excellent for prayer times and daily use. Very easy to use, no clutter, and the adhan is accurate. The Siri integration is a lifesaver when driving or at work. Totally worth downloading and doesn't feel like those annoying AI-generated apps.
