User reviews

A deeply frustrating user experience to set it up

I had this app on Android for years and it worked great. I recently switched to an iPhone and wanted to use it again but it asks SO many questions at setup and there’s no way to skip them. I literally just want an app that tells me salah times.

I should have read the other reviews first before downloading, as it appears lots of people have the same frustrations but the developers either don’t read the feedback or don’t care.

I got so annoyed by the 20th question that I deleted the app and didn’t bother with the rest of the setup.

To the developers: I understand you’re trying to help people pray on time, but some of us don’t need an app. Just give us the option to skip all the unnecessary questions and look at the prayer times.

I gave it 2 stars for the developers’ good intentions only.

A deeply frustrating user experience that has put me off using it again

Prayer

Very good prayer times but i think you should add quran and improve it

Great app

I wish it was free but I understand why it isn’t

Review

You have to answer a ton of questions before installing the app which is so unnecessary, why so many questions? And by the time you have finished answering, they tell you certain features you have to pay for, they should make this clear at the start instead of wasting your time.

One-Time Purchase

I love this app! I love it's design and it's features! It's extremely user friendly. However, I want to purchase it one time rather than a subscription model. I'd be willing to pay $100-$200 once rather than continuing to pay overtime. Otherwise, It'll become another bill that I'll eventually stop using after a few months.
