### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2026-08-26, version 26.3.1*

Very nice and very useful app.

### 5/5 — Great, easy to use, and so convenient

*2026-08-20, version 26.3.1*

Timings are clear to see, the Qibla is available the moment the Adnan notification pops up for you can look into it. So beautiful, big ups to the developer(s)! May Allah reward them immensely

### 5/5 — Love all the free features

*2026-08-15, version 26.3.1*

This app got the time for midnight and the last third of the night!! 🔥🔥🔥

### 1/5 — Simple

*2026-08-12, version 26.3.1*

Too simple

### 5/5 — Helped me get my prayers on time and stop listening to music

*2026-08-05, version 26.3.1*

You guys are amazing, I used to have trouble forgetting to pray, but this app really helped me schedule my day around my prayer not the other way around. And even though it doesn’t have any set way that stopped me from listening to music, just knowing that I will pray soon inshallah helped me remember Allah. Jazakallah for making this app.

### 5/5 — Best Athan app ever

*2026-08-02, version 26.3.1*

This is the best Athan app available. Customizable and works with Apple Watch seamlessly. All while being completely free. May Allah reward you all who are part of the team immensely, Ameen.

### 3/5 — Location

*2026-07-27, version 26.3.1*

It’s a good app almost accurate and all prayers and I love the 20 minute warning but the automatic location update when you’re traveling doesn’t always work properly and you need to close the app and open it multiple times and go into settings and change the location manually.

### 5/5 — Reliable and simple

*2026-07-22, version 26.3.1*

Love the widget

### 3/5 — No Adhan

*2026-07-19, version 26.3.1*

I would give Pray Watch 3 stars. When I first started using it, it worked very well—the full adhan played for every prayer in the background. Unfortunately, over time, it has developed problems. The adhan no longer plays fully; it only says a single phrase like “Allahu Akbar” and then cuts off.

The location feature is also inaccurate. It is stuck on a city that I am not in, about 250 miles away, and it does not update correctly. I have contacted support, but it feels like they are not taking the issues seriously or responding with solutions.

Overall, it has great potential, but these problems need to be fixed. If they improve the adhan playback and location accuracy, I would consider giving it a higher rating.

### 5/5 — Recently began to get very slightly buggy

*2026-07-15, version 26.3.1*

The app reports the time for maghrib and Isha an hour after it has passed. I’m deleting and redownloading in the hope it fixes itself. Dunno how else to reach devs so leaving this here.
