This means a lot. More features on the way. Spread the word! ### 5/5 — Muslim Owned love it *2026-03-12* Reliable and constantly being fine tuned. Has genuinely made me better day to day and closer with Islam n praying. Thank you!! **Developer response:** Jazakallahu Khayran! Your support keeps this going. More updates coming soon, inshallah. ### 5/5 — The only app a Muslim would ever need. *2026-03-06* Having used this app for a bit I’m genuinely impressed with how much is neatly packed into it. It literally does everything. - Prayer Times - Qibla Finder - The entire Quran (Translations + Transliteration) - Prayer tracker - Automated Fajr Alarm - App blocking mode for prayer - An entire Hadith library - Tasbih - Etc.- I’m sure there’s even more I haven’t even seen yet but what impresses me the most is that everything is organized perfectly and designed with the most aesthetically pleasing UI. It never feels like this app is doing too much, which is great if your like me and have to already juggle multiple apps that do all the different features packed into this app. Not sure why this app doesn’t already have 1K+ downloads but I hope it gains the traction it deserves. **Developer response:** Jazakallahu Khayran for this detailed review. This is exactly what Prayer Pause is built for. More coming inshallah, stay tuned. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-02-20* I was recommend this app by a friend after seeing him use it and I have to say I love this app. I’ve been using the premium features of the app for about a week now and I love everything about it. The Sabr Focus and Prayer Pause features have been great for keeping me away from wasting time uselessly on my phone and instead using my time to focus on the deen, which is especially important during Ramadan. The interphase of the app is beautiful and I’ve had many friends ask me about it. If you love widgets and aesthetics, this app is also great for that since there are many options. It also has the Quran, salah times, and more. I highly highly recommend this app in general due to its functionality but especially if your goal is to dedicate more time to Islamic related content. **Developer response:** JazakAllahu khairan for the beautiful review and for spreading the word to your friends! It means so much to hear that Sabr Moment and Salah Block are helping you stay focused on the deen, especially during Ramadan. We put a lot of care into the design and aesthetics, so it's amazing to hear your friends notice it too. May Allah bless your Ramadan and reward you for encouraging others. More features coming soon inshaAllah! ### 5/5 — so useful *2026-02-08* First of all, I love the look of this app and its widgets. I spend too much time on my phone, and this helps me become more aware of that and utilize my time better. I especially love the sabr focus, it makes me realize how often I’m going on social media and for how long, because it updates after a certain amount of time and you have to complete it again. Also love LOVE that it has a period option as well so you don’t lose your streak. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot that the Sabr Focus feature is helping you become more mindful of your screen time. That real-time awareness is exactly what we were going for. And we're really glad the period tracking option is something you appreciate, we wanted to make sure no one feels penalized for something outside their control. JazakAllahu khairan for the support! ### 5/5 — 2-in-1 app *2026-02-07* I have a serious problem with social media, doom scrolling, not knowing when to stop or honestly…how to stop. This app has so far helped me control my usage AND it’s pushing me to pray on time. The Sabr moment feature is so grounding, and it’s allowing little pockets of reconnecting with allah throughout the day, its allowed me to do dikr, it’s helping me memorize the quran slowly but surely, and it’s testing my knowledge and therefor showing me the areas I need to improve on. Also, as a woman, I really appreciate the period tracking feature. Especially with ramadan coming up, I tend to forget the days that I will need to make up later, so this makes it easy to remember & track. **Developer response:** This review truly made our day. The way you described how each feature fits into your daily routine, from the Sabr moments to Quran memorization to period tracking, is exactly the holistic experience we hoped to build. We pray the app continues to help you stay grounded, and may Allah make your Ramadan preparation easy and rewarding. Thank you for sharing this! ### 5/5 — Put me back on track!! *2026-02-07* This is the APP!! I’ve always been looking for something to get me back on track and pray consistently. This app not only does that but has ALOT of other features. Developer did not forget a single thing. **Developer response:** We love hearing that! Getting back on track is what Prayer Pause is all about. We put a lot of thought into making sure every feature serves a purpose, so it means a lot when someone notices. May Allah keep you consistent, JazakAllahu khairan for the review! ### 5/5 — ✅ *2026-02-07* Beautiful interface, app does a great job calibrating to face the qibla and automatically modifies your player times depending on you current area **Developer response:** Thank you! We worked hard on making the interface clean and intuitive. Glad the Qibla calibration and automatic prayer times are working well for your area. JazakAllahu khairan for the support! ### 5/5 — Smart app *2026-02-04* I absolutely love this app. it’s a fresh and it truly brilliant idea. we are all addicted to social media and spent hours scrolling every day. this app helps pause that circle. it’s remind us to take a break and focus on what really matters — our faith. **Developer response:** Thank you so much, "pause that circle" is such a perfect way to put it. We built this app because we felt the same way about the endless scrolling cycle. We're glad it's helping you take those meaningful breaks. JazakAllahu khairan! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-04* Power and beautiful app Mashallah **Developer response:** Mashallah, thank you Abdullah! Short and sweet, we appreciate the support. JazakAllahu khairan! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-08-16* Best muslim prayer app thanks so much ### 5/5 — So glad it came to Mac *2026-08-03* I already this app on my phone and I am so glad it's now on Mac as well. Jazak Allah kul kheir <3 **Developer response:** Wa iyyakum, and jazak Allahu khairan for taking the time to write this. Glad it is on your Mac now as well as your phone, that was the whole point of bringing it over. May Allah accept your salah and keep it easy on you. ### 5/5 — Menu bar salah *2026-07-24* I love that I can see the prayers on the menu bar, no clunky app **Developer response:** JazakAllah khair for this. No clunky app was the brief. You glance up, you know where you are in the day, and you get back to what you were doing. If you use it on iPhone too, Prayer Pause blocks your phone during prayer, and Sajda Mode unlocks it with a prayer mat scan. Grateful for the 5 stars. ### 5/5 — best salah spp *2026-07-24* needed to see my salah times on my mac and was so happy to discover this app **Developer response:** So glad you found it, Rawan. Salah times sitting right there on your Mac without digging through anything is the whole idea. If you ever want the phone side of it, Prayer Pause blocks your phone during prayer, and Sajda Mode unlocks it with a prayer mat scan. JazakAllah khair for the review. ### 5/5 — Allahuma Barik *2026-07-11* Amazing concept, amazing UI. Keeps me locked in with salah **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Got me back on my deen *2026-06-13* Great app that truly made me get back on my religion. I am no longer spending useless hours on TikTok or instagram **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — 10/10! Helping me stay focused after Ramadan *2026-05-17* 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! **Developer response:** 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! ### 5/5 — feedback *2026-05-14* 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! **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Exceptional app for Muslims *2026-05-11* 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. **Developer response:** 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! ### 5/5 — Helped me memorize surah *2026-04-20* I just wanted an app to make me stop mindlessly opening Instagram but this helped me memorize more surah by showing it to me while I wait to open my apps **Developer response:** Subhanallah, this is the kind of review that makes us sit back for a second. You came to put Instagram down and walked away with more Quran in your heart. That was the whole point, even if we couldn't always put it into words. May Allah keep it firm for you, and there's more coming on that front soon. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
