### 1/5 — Stop asking me so many questions

*2026-08-25*

I just wanted a simple apps, stop asking me so many question. For God sake

### 5/5 — Beautiful App, Easy User Interface

*2026-08-24*

This app has been so incredible in helping me become more consistent in my prayer. The app is designed to encourage people to reach their prayer goals and has a lovely tracker feature that allows you to log prayers completed on time, late prayers, and missed prayers. There’s also a streak feature that encourages people to meet their prayer goals and pray on time! I stress ‘on time’ because your streak will break if you don’t pray on time, which is a really great motivator to wake up early for Fajr and complete other prayers on time. 

The app interface is also beautiful, I love the design it’s simple and gorgeous. Not to mention, there are no ads! No ads whatsoever unlike MANY other prayer time apps. I’m so glad I discovered this gem and I thank the developers for taking the time to make this app.

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2026-08-20*

The turn off app feature really helps break you out of your bad habit and prioritize your prayer

### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER MASHALLAH

*2026-08-16, version 3.3.3*

I used to never pray and yes, I did make lies saying “oh I didn’t know time for it.” And I get it and it was pretty back back then but now I’ve been praying for 4 days in a row! Amazing right? Allah has been so happy with me and I’m definitely saved from hellfire. Anyways, please download this app.

### 1/5 — Disgusting onboarding process

*2026-08-14, version 3.3.3*

Please stop making me go through a 20 minute ride just to get into the app. I've been using the app since beginning but it's becoming very frustrating recommending the app to someone or installing in a new device when you're presented with a 20 minute unskippable menu surfer.


Edit: just uninstalled. It's no longer worth the hassle.

### 1/5 — Pay-walled widget for quick hand prayer times

*2026-08-12*

I used to love this app for being so minimalistic and seamless. arguably the most useful feature of the app, was being able to add a widget to your phone’s home page with the current prayer time and time remaining until the next one. With this feature, I was able to automatically get a reminder for prayer at a glance of my phone, which was the most useful feature which compelled me to stay true and complete all of my prayers since it’s a constant reminder. Now, this feature which was once free, is now locked behind a paywall forcing me to buy premium if I want to continue to use the most useful feature. For many of us, the problem with keeping our prayers is the constant reminder, the nudge in the right direction that we can’t blatantly ignore. If I was already so pious and dutiful in my prayers, I wouldn’t need an app, that I’d need to physically open, I’d already be aware of the timings intuitively. Now, you are assuming that most of your consumers just need to know the exact timing, which is far from the purpose of an app such as this, which is designed to help people become more disciplined, keep track of the prayers, and be held accountable gently. Now, as the app is, the onus is on me to voluntarily search for the app and open it 5 times a day. If I had such an intuitive affinity towards never missing a prayer in the first place, what’s the point of this app?

### 1/5 — Annoying onboarding

*2026-08-09, version 3.3.2*

Onboarding takes 5 years when I just want the prayer times absolutely ridiculous deleted the app

### 1/5 — Tired of the intrusions

*2026-08-09, version 3.3.2*

Used to be a simple app. It now insists on asking you a 100 questions before it starts. Unskippable as well.

### 5/5 — Keeps you on track

*2026-08-06, version 3.3.2*

An amazing app that keeps you accountable to your prayers.

### 1/5 — No support from devs

*2026-08-04, version 3.3.2*

I had the membership that promised even more priority customer service and was never helped once, this app was completely AI generated and the devs do not support or care about any bugs or issues just getting their monthly subscription from you.
