## What is PrayWay?

PrayWay is the ultimate solution to a 2000 year old problem: figuring out which way to face when you pray....three times a day.

With its simplistic and easily understandable interface, the app sets out to do one thing and one thing only: direct you toward The Western Wall in Jerusalem, from anywhere on Earth!

The arrow is easily visible in daylight, but easy on the eyes at night, making it perfect for Shacharit, Mincha, and Maariv.

The app also shows sunrise, midday, and sunset times for your current location (to help with determining prayer times).

It features full support for English, Hebrew, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and German. And, best of all, it's free of charge and free of ads!

So stop living like a caveman, staring at the sun to figure out which direction to face, and download PrayWay today!
