### 4/5 — Could be better

*2026-03-19*

Great app. As a tracker it’s kind of pointless though. I have it installed on both my iPad and phone. I mark a prayer as done on my phone and it doesn’t follow through on my iPad. I wish it had more widgets too for the home screen and lock screen.

### 4/5 — Widgets not working anymore :(

*2026-01-19*

Salam Alaikom, I hope this message finds you well InshaAllah. 
Absolutely love the app and have been using it for ages, but recently (1 week) the widgets have disappeared. I tried to turn my phone off and all but it didn’t work. Please fix this 🤍

### 2/5 — Lockscreen Widget Removed

*2026-01-17*

For some reason the lockscreen widget is no longer available, which was one of the best features of the app… disappointing

### 2/5 — App was great until

*2026-01-17*

Their widgets have stopped working. I really liked their lock screen prayer time widget. Now it’s gone blank. I re-installed the app still no luck. Hope you guys fix it!

### 4/5 — Recent update

*2026-01-16, version 1.5.5*

Great app but since the update the prayer times are missing from the Home Screen and lock screen. Now we need to go into the app to get the prayer times which is frustrating

### 3/5 — Widgets no longer show & other features removed 😢😢

*2026-01-15*

• I had widgets to show all the Salah times and sunrise and duha time and the amount of time left till the next Salah but now they have ALL disappeared 😢
• I can no longer add the Takbir Oula option to when I fill in my Salah…
• Personally I preferred the other icons when filling in Salah, the more glossy looking appearance, not the ones that are more matte if you understand what I mean lol
• I can’t see the option for when women are on my periods (my phone has never showed this, I don’t know about others).

### 3/5 — They removed the widgets

*2026-01-15*

It was a good app until it removed the widget. Literally the only reason why I used this app was that it was simple and it had the widget that showed you how much time was left between prayers. Please bring it back.

### 2/5 — widgets no longer available

*2026-01-14*

the best part of this app, which was the lock screen widget displaying how much time was left to pray, has now been removed. The Home Screen widgets are no longer available either which is very disappointing

### 3/5 — Location

*2026-01-14, version 1.5.5*

App was fine until recently, the widget option has disappeared just shows up as a blank box please fix this issue as it was very convenient to check when prayer time is on my lock screen JazakAllah

### 3/5 — App widgets not working

*2026-01-14*

Assalamu Alaikum,
After the recent updates I am not able to add the widgets showing the remaining salah times on the lock screen. Please fix this!

### 2/5 — No widget with new update

*2026-01-14, version 1.5.5*

Bring back widget for prayerly. With new update it’s gone.

### 4/5 — Missing

*2026-01-13*

What happened with the latest updates it’s missing takbeer oula and first row

### 4/5 — Recent problems

*2026-01-13*

This app is great, I’ve been using it since it came out and had no complaints but recently (today) the widgets for some reason disappeared on my Home Screen and lock screen, it’s quite annoying as if I want to check prayer times I have to go all the way and open the app, also something weird is the icons for praying in 1st row and takbeer oula have disappeared, and the red/green/orange ones have gone back to the old look, I don’t know what happened just hoping it gets fixed soon

### 3/5 — Why did you remove the widget?

*2026-01-13, version 1.5.5*

I love this app especially the countdown widget but it’s no longer working please fix it

### 4/5 — PLEASE BRING BACK THE WIDGET!!!!!!!!!

*2026-01-13*

I had the prayerly widget on my home screen aswell as on my lock screen. After the update it has been removed. 
It was such a lifesaver i could look at my lock screen and see my Namaz times. Please BRING IT BACK PLEASE!!!!!!

### 3/5 — Love this app but widget doesn’t work

*2025-12-05*

This app is great and has the potential to be amazing but I just cannot get the widget to show on my Home Screen - it just shows a blank widget with no info. 
I am on the latest software on IPhone 13 and have tried several fixes. Leaving feedback in the hope the developers will see, as I’ve not been able to find a way to contact them directly.

### 4/5 — A little problem

*2025-12-05*

I ve tried managing the notifications, i wanted to make different ones like 30 minutes before prayer time and so on and it seems there is not an option like that. Thank you for all your efforts.

### 4/5 — Genuinely good app

*2025-10-10*

It’s a good app but the markers for the prayer are really really confusing. If I pray in first row or on first takbeer, then i automatically pray in the masjid. 

So the important question here is, which ist the best button and option to click on?  If I pray for example in a Jamaah, in masjid, with the first takbeer and in the first row. Which should i use then to track the quality of my salah on the best possible way?

### 4/5 — J’adore !

*2025-10-07*

Bonjour, pouvez-vous créer une option pour qu’on puisse ajouter des amis et s’encourager entre nous?

### 1/5 — Lock screen widget

*2026-01-13, version 1.5.5*

It was really good but the widget got removed from my lock screen so now it’s no good to me

### 1/5 — App stuck on ‘Please wait…’

*2026-01-04*

This was a great app until it stopped working. From past week it has been stuck on ‘Please wait…’ every time I open it. I’m hoping developers will take notice and fix this issue.

### 1/5 — its taking a wrong turn

*2025-03-15*

The app is taking a wrong turn with every new feature, the old statistics are almost useless, the prayers time is never right, i hope one day you will open source it so people can actually do a better job developing it

### 1/5 — Stopped working!

*2025-01-01, version 1.5.3*

Not getting any notifications anymore.

### 1/5 — Troubleshooting

*2024-10-06*

Please fix it. May Allah bless you

### 1/5 — Good app but widget not working

*2024-02-20, version 1.4.0*

The widget for this app is not working. Tried everything and cant get it to work

### 1/5 — A Powerful Tool for Prayer, Yet Widget Issues Persist

*2023-11-23*

Prayerly is helping me maintain a consistent prayer schedule with ease. The app's features and reminders are incredibly useful for tracking progress and staying committed. However, an ongoing issue with the widgets hampers the overall experience. Despite reinstalling and restarting, the text doesn't display correctly on the widgets, rendering them less functional. I'm hopeful the developers will address this widget problem in future updates. Despite this hiccup, Prayerly remains an invaluable tool in my spiritual journey, enhancing my dedication to timely prayers. - Update: A few months later the issues still persist. (Rating Updated to 1 Star until fixed).

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-08-04, version 1.0*

Downloaded app and does not work. Why release an app which is half baked

### 1/5 — Can’t set location

*2023-08-04*

Location selection doesn’t work for me.
Can’t select either automatic or manual location
The next button stays disabled

### 1/5 — App stuck at setup

*2023-08-04, version 1.0*

Stuck and can’t move past Location and Notifications Screen while setting up. Does not work so can’t use app.

### 5/5 — amazing app!

*2026-08-05*

honestly, it’s hard to stick with one prayer app that is good for all your needs, but this app does it. it really motivates you to pray on time, it’s so nice being able to log in your prayers and in what way you prayed (early, middle, late, in masjid, etc.) i’ve been using this app for over a year now and it’s the only one i’ve stuck to consistently due to the design, concept and just  how nice it is to use. would definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Widgets

*2026-02-02*

Used to be the BEST prayer tracking app imo, but for the past month the widgets have stopped working and no longer show up, please fix this it really made a difference
Edit : Alhamdulillah I just checked rn and its working again JazakAllah for fixing it

### 5/5 — All great BUT

*2026-01-25*

The most unique feature about this app was it was added to the ios widget where we can lively see the timer but unfortunately it is removed! I request the app developer to kindly reactivate it… Allah will grant u reward Insha Allah

### 5/5 — Widgets

*2026-01-18*

I love this app and have been using it consistently for a couple of years now however the widget has completely disappeared which is really disappointing. I really hope that this can be fixed fast. Thanks! 

A loyal customer

### 5/5 — Widgets

*2026-01-15*

Can we add widgets back to app. It doesn’t work on the latest version

### 5/5 — Great App but room for improvements

*2026-01-14*

I love this App it's simple and well designed but the Athan doesn't work for me, I only get a notification but no athan sound, also I live in Germany, we're used here to 24h clocks instead of 12h (AM/PM) it would be nice if this could be changed in the settings with the next update.

Your work is much appreciated.
 May Allah reward you for making prayer on time for people easier.

Update: The latest update broke the lockscreen and homescreen widgets for me. I'm on iPhone 15PM latest software

### 5/5 — Best prayer times app

*2026-01-14*

this app is superb Alhamdullilah

There’s only two improvements I have to recommend.

1) the app tells you that isha can be prayed till the last 1/3 of the night. This is false and dangerous. isha can be prayed till islamic midnight (halfway through the night). 
I recommend this should be fixed 

2) the widgets are no longer available after the recent update.

### 5/5 — No Widgets

*2026-01-13*

Why Widget Removed. Earlier it was working. Please add it

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-10-20*

This app is super simple with no ads and a great design and user interface. It helps keep me on my prayers and even helps me do them in a timely manner rather than late.

### 5/5 — 5 stars 💛

*2025-08-13, version 1.5.3*

Mashallah , the app lets you choose gender options , madhab options for the asr salah and options to notify you for salah with a notification or an audible “Allahu akbar” very useful , especially if ur busy and need a Salah reminder.
