## What is Nooja?

Nooja is a calm, private companion for your daily prayers. It works entirely offline — no accounts, no ads, and no tracking. Everything stays on your device.

PRAYER TIMES
• Najaf (Office of Sayyid al-Sistani) method by default, with published offline timetables for UK cities and precise calculation everywhere else.
• A living prayer screen — a sky that shifts from dawn to night, the current prayer, and a countdown to the next.
• Adhan notifications with a choice of reciters.

QUR'AN
• The full Qur'an in Uthmani Arabic with translation and transliteration.
• A flowing Mushaf page, verse-by-verse reading, search, bookmarks, favourites and notes.
• Continuous reading that remembers exactly where you left off.
• Optional recitation from well-known reciters.

QIBLA & MORE
• Qibla compass pointing to the Kaaba from anywhere.
• Hijri calendar, daily du'as and dhikr.
• A group Khatma tracker to complete the Qur'an together.
• Beautiful Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.
• Seven elegant themes.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No sign-up and no data collection. Just you and your prayers.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-08-12

Apple Watch: Nooja now lives on your wrist — prayer times with a live countdown, a Qibla compass that taps you when you're facing the Kaaba, and a sibha you press that moves through SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah and Allahu akbar on its own.

iPad: the Qur'an now opens as a real facing-page mushaf you turn like a book, with the gold ruled frame on every page.

Three Shia adhans added — Mashhad, Karbala, and a recitation in Dastgah-e Mahur.

Qibla is more accurate everywhere: the direction is now a true geodesic on the WGS84 ellipsoid, with a steadier compass reading and a warning when something magnetic is interfering.

### 1.6 — 2026-08-04

Shared Khatma: read the Qur'an together — create one, share a link, and anyone can join and read their part from a phone or web browser, with live progress.

Arabic: switch the whole app to Arabic (with right-to-left layout) from Settings or onboarding.

Tasbeeh: choose a small (33) or large (99) sibha.

Plus a nearest-mosque finder, background audio, refined Qibla accuracy, and other improvements.

### 1.4 — 2026-06-28

- Simpler Tasbeeh: each phrase (SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar and more) now keeps its own count and feeds your daily streak — no targets to set
- Fixed the back button on the Tasbeeh screen
- Minor improvements

### 1.3 — 2026-06-27

- You can still pin a city, or turn automatic updates off, anytime in Settings
- Minor fixes and improvements

### 1.2 — 2026-06-24

- Find Nearby Mosques: see the closest masjids on a map with photos, sorted by distance, and get directions in Apple Maps or Google Maps

- A beautiful new Tasbeeh: realistic prayer beads, 8 designs, a daily streak and per-phrase progress that resets daily
