Allahuma Barik

Amazing concept, amazing UI. Keeps me locked in with salah
TheGooblebergTheGoobleberg

Response from developer

Allahuma barik, this genuinely made our day. Staying locked in for your salah instead of drifting to the phone is the whole reason we built Prayer Pause, so knowing it is doing that for you means a lot. Jazak Allah khairan for the kind words, and may Allah accept your prayers.

Got me back on my deen

Great app that truly made me get back on my religion. I am no longer spending useless hours on TikTok or instagram
Omar0139Omar0139

Response from developer

This genuinely made our day, Omar. Alhamdulillah that Prayer Pause helped you trade those hours on TikTok and Instagram for time with your deen, that is exactly why we built it. May Allah keep you consistent and reward your intention. If a friend is stuck in the same scroll, passing it along could help them too. Thank you for being here.

10/10! Helping me stay focused after Ramadan

I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt that I had to for this app! After every Ramadan, like many others, my focus on deen tends to take a swing but I am so glad to say that this year, this has not happened. This is mainly due to this app, as the streak keeps me on track and the app keeps me off my phone. With no distractions I’m able to stay focused and continue getting better.

Whoever the owner of this app is, jazakAllah Khair!

Response from developer

Wa iyyak, this means so much! Post-Ramadan consistency is one of the hardest battles, and the fact that the streak and Prayer Pause are helping you hold the line is exactly what we built this for. May Allah keep you steady and reward you for taking the time to write this. More features coming inshaAllah, stay tuned!

great app. I plan to use it, only thing is that the app keeps crashing, please fix or I can’t even access my apps. Other than that everything else is great!

Response from developer

JazakAllahu khairan for the kind words and for flagging this! The crash you're seeing is caused by a glitch with one of Apple's Screen Time features that affected a small number of users. We've already shipped a fix in version 1.4.6, so please update to the latest version from the App Store and the issue should be resolved. If you still run into anything, reach out to us at prayerpauseapp@gmail.com and we'll sort it out right away.

Exceptional app for Muslims

Very useful for those who get easily distracted by their phone. Design is also very neat. Overall very easy to use and highly recommend giving it a try.

JazakAllahu khairan for the kind words! We're glad Prayer Pause is helping you stay focused and away from distractions. We put a lot of care into keeping the design clean and easy to use, so it means a lot to hear that. More features coming soon inshaAllah, spread the word!
