### 1/5 — So frustrating

*2026-08-14*

This was a great app until they completely cut your access to the app unless you subscribe and agree to paying once the ‘free trial ends’. I can’t even access my previous information like period dates that I’ve previously put into the app so i’ve lost track of everything. So disappointing

### 5/5 — I have been looking for an app like this FOR SO LONGGG

*2026-08-11*

al hamdoulilah guys Thank you so much

### 3/5 — paywall

*2026-08-11*

I literally cannot use the app unless i accept a 1 month trial which id rather not do

### 1/5 — Can’t get past the pop

*2026-08-06, version 1.0.8*

The app was really good when it first came out but it must no longer be free. I can’t get past the pop up asking about a membership. It’s super annoying and if it’s not free anymore I would’ve liked to know that instead of endless pop ups about subscription options

### 2/5 — Is it really free

*2026-08-02, version 1.0.8*

I’m stuck at to pay for membership so maybe don’t get your hopes up it was promising but it wasn’t free

### 1/5 — frustrating problem!

*2026-08-01*

why on earth can i not view my cycle logs on the app without paying for a subscription. i’ve been logging it in there for some time now and i simply want to access it and get rid of this app! i DON’T want to pay for a subscription, fix this or tell us beforehand that this app requires a subscription to access even the most basic of things! and we can’t take screenshots either! you’ve ALOT TO FIX

### 1/5 — Too many bugs and bad support

*2026-07-31*

I really wanted to love this, but after the terrible experience I’ve had with the ad pop ups blocking my access entirely, terrible customer support, and just a jumble of bug issues, I’ve been forced to delete my account through the back end. What are you supposed to do when you literally cannot access the app because of constant ads about subscriptions blocking your access? And refusal for help from customer service on top of that. The fasting tracking was also hella confusing and needed work. And, the only device available for syncing was apple watch. People have other devices! 
I really wanted to like this but I do hope this experience improves, far too many bugs and the organization is cluttered and confusing. Also, why is there no login button when you first download the app? I have to remake my profile, which is hugely inconvenient. Please also improve your support outreach.

**Developer response:** nafs does not contain third-party ads, so there are no ad pop-ups blocking access to the app. If you were referring to our subscription screen, that’s part of onboarding and not advertising.

Regarding support, we responded to every email we received from you and attempted to help resolve the issues. When we don’t receive a reply after multiple follow-ups, we close the support ticket so we can focus on users with active requests. We’re always happy to reopen it if you reach back out.

### 3/5 — inaccurate prayer times

*2026-07-29*

everytime i open the app its asking for a new update 😕

**Developer response:** salaam! if your prayer times are hours off, it usually means a setting may have been selected incorrectly. for example, if you’ve chosen the hanafi madhab, asr will naturally be around an hour later than the standard calculation, which is expected.

we also already support flexible prayer time adjustments. you can head to Settings → Prayer Settings and adjust each prayer time to match your local masjid if you’d like. every masjid uses slightly different calculations and conventions, so no app can match every local masjid by default. that’s why we built in the ability to customize the timings yourself.

if you’re still seeing times that are genuinely hours off after checking those settings, let us know your city, your selected calculation method, and your madhab, and we’d be happy to investigate further.

### 5/5 — don’t play with sis

*2026-07-25*

the app is smooth , whys it making my old iphone seem new ? motivating me to pray and read quran after feeling distant from religion. from black woman to black woman you’re setting standards for coming generations , family should be proud allahumabarik

### 1/5 — No way to refuse free trial

*2026-07-19*

When the app was initially released, there was no requirement to create an account or subscribe for anything. Now, you cannot utilize the app without an account as there is no option. I was upset with that but it was reasonable as you could still use the app’s basic features. Unfortunately, they updated the app and now you cannot even use the basic features of the app advertised as they force you to sign up for their free trial. There is currently no option to refuse the free trial so you are effectively locked out of the app. Such a shame because the app was really good
and I was considering donating at some point.

**Developer response:** salam! we’re still a startup, and we’re trying to build something that lasts, especially with our hardware and all the new features we have planned. because of that, we’ve had to restructure our subscription model.

our goal is to keep it at the same affordable price, but unfortunately we can’t offer the app completely free to everyone anymore. if we did, we wouldn’t be able to stay ad-free or continue building and improving nafs.

inshallah, the $1.99/month goes directly toward supporting the team, keeping our engineers employed, and helping us build what’s next.

that said, if you genuinely can’t afford it and you’ve been an early supporter who truly loves nafs, we’d be more than happy to gift you a free subscription (reach out to us at nafs.fyi/contact) we really appreciate you being with us from the beginning, so don’t worry about it
