## What is Qiblih Compass?

Qiblih Compass helps Bahá’ís turn toward the Qiblih, the sacred point of orientation for Obligatory Prayer.

The app calculates the direction from your current location to Bahjí, near ‘Akká, and uses your iPhone’s compass heading to help you face the right way.

Open the app, allow location access, hold your iPhone flat, and turn until the app indicates that you are facing the Qiblih.

Features:

• Helps you turn toward the Qiblih at Bahjí
• Designed for use when preparing for Obligatory Prayer
• Uses your iPhone’s location and compass heading
• Shows your current heading, Qiblih bearing, and turn direction
• No account required
• No ads, analytics, or tracking
• No location storage

Your location is used only on your device to calculate the direction to Bahjí. It is not stored, transmitted, sold, or shared.

Qiblih Compass is intentionally simple: a calm, focused aid for turning toward the Qiblih wherever you are.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-06-15

- Anchored the Qiblih bearing so GPS wobble on a boat no longer keeps recalculating the target direction.
- Added Core Motion true-north heading as the primary heading path when available, with CoreLocation heading kept as fallback/calibration/magnetic support.
- Reduced GPS sensitivity to avoid constant “exact position” churn.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-11
