Retro Adhan shows your prayer times in an old-school pixel art design. Times, the Quran and all content work offline. PRAYER TIMES Calculated on your device — no internet needed. Live countdown to the next prayer. Twenty-three calculation methods (Türkiye, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Morocco, Russia, Iran, UAE, Jordan, France, Portugal, MWL, ISNA, Umm al-Qura, Egypt, Karachi and more) and a Hanafi/Shafi option for Asr. A time is never moved ahead of the official one; the precaution margin is listed in Settings > Sources, and each prayer can be shifted by ± minutes to match your mosque. NOTIFICATIONS A notification for every prayer, with twelve sounds: nine short 8-bit signals, two long wake-up alerts and a real adhan recording. EACH notification can have its own sound: the adhan for Fajr, a short one for Dhuhr. Each carries a sourced verse or hadith that changes daily. Plus reminders for Friday, Tarawih, Eid, the holy nights and Suhoor. QIBLA COMPASS Qibla direction corrected to true north, with the distance to the Kaaba. The full-screen compass shows nearby cities and neighbouring countries; tap a name and the arrow turns that way. If the compass needs calibration the app says so. QIBLA THROUGH THE CAMERA The CAMERA VIEW button places the Kaaba marker and arrows flowing towards it over the live image. When the qibla is out of view, an arrow at the edge tells you how far to turn. The image is not saved and never sent anywhere. MOSQUES NEARBY Lists the closest mosques with distance and bearing; pick one as a compass target and follow it, or open it in Apple or Google Maps. Only your coordinates go to an OpenStreetMap server for the list, and they are not stored. APPLE WATCH Four pages on your wrist: prayer times with a countdown, a qibla arrow, a tasbih counter and prayer tracking. A complication shows the next prayer. THE HOLY QURAN 114 surahs in the real 604-page Mushaf layout. Arabic, translation, or both side by side. Your reading position is remembered. THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET A 72-chapter sira narrative from his birth to his passing, with sources and short questions. Offline. LIBRARY - 81 hadiths, grouped by topic - Asma ul-Husna: the 99 Names with meanings - 19 daily supplications - A step-by-step prayer guide: wudu, ghusl, tayammum, how to pray - Favorites: starred verses, hadiths, duas and names in one list GUIDE 280 sayings from verses and authentic hadiths, under fourteen topics. The topics you pick decide what appears on the home screen and in the widget. TRACKING Mark the prayers you performed, build streaks and earn badges. Missed-prayer (Qada) tracker. Dhikr counter with tasbih rounds and a weekly summary. CALENDAR Monthly timetable, Hijri date and holy days. Yearly timetable: twelve months in one screen; share a month as an image or the year as a PDF. 10 LANGUAGES English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Hindi, Kazakh. City names appear in your language too. Kazakh is an interface language only for now; library texts appear in English, the Quran translation in Russian. PRIVACY No data collection, no ads, no tracking, no account. Your location is used only on your device for prayer times and qibla. The one exception is the mosque search: tapping that button sends your coordinates to an OpenStreetMap server, nothing else. Prefer not to enable location services? Pick your city by hand. SUPPORT Every feature is free. The optional "Support Development" subscription ($1.99 monthly or $19.99 yearly) unlocks nothing; in return a supporter star appears in the app. It auto-renews until cancelled and can be cancelled anytime in App Store settings.

In Russian, Chinese, Hindi and the other interface languages the city list, the home screen and the widget no longer show Latin-letter names. You can search for a city with either spelling. - Fixed: the sound preview kept playing after you left the notification sound list. ### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-18 - An Apple Watch app. Prayer times with a countdown, a qibla arrow, a tasbih counter and prayer tracking on your wrist; a watch face complication shows the next prayer. Everything is computed on the phone, so both devices show the same times. - New section: the life of the Prophet. A 72-chapter sira narrative with sources and short questions at the end of each chapter; fully offline and in all ten languages. - Mosques nearby. The closest mosques with distance and bearing; pick one as a target on the qibla compass and follow it as you walk, or open it in Apple or Google Maps. Only your coordinates are sent to an OpenStreetMap server for the list, and they are not stored. - Yearly timetable. All twelve months in one screen; share a month as an image or the whole year as a PDF. - Notifications now live on one screen and EACH can have its own sound: a long alert for Fajr, a short one for Dhuhr. - The edge arrows in the camera qibla view were redone. When the qibla is out of view a blinking pixel arrow tells you how far to turn. - A YEARLY button in the calendar, a back button on the year screen, and cleaner alignment on the notifications and settings screens. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-18 - Asr has changed in Türkiye. The app now follows the calculation used by Diyanet, so Asr begins 37-74 minutes earlier depending on the season. The aim is to match the official calendar. - All prayer times are now 2-3 minutes earlier. We used to add our own precautionary margin on top of the calculation. We measured it: the calculation method already carries the authority's own margin, so we were adding it twice. It has been removed. - Singapore is now tied to the official MUIS timetable, verified day by day across all 365 days of the year. The largest difference is 2 minutes. - Portugal is now tied to the timetable published by the Islamic Community of Lisbon, verified across all 365 days of the year. Dhuhr moved 5 minutes later, because the community publishes it 5 minutes after solar noon. Asr now follows the community's own calculation and begins 38-75 minutes earlier, depending on the season. - New screen: Blessed Days. The coming year's holy days, nights, eids and eids' eves in a single list, with the days remaining. - Blessed days and nights now also appear on the home screen widget, on the day itself and one day before. - In northern countries a ~ may now appear next to Fajr and Isha. It means the sun did not go low enough that night, so the time was estimated rather than calculated. Settings > High Latitude shows which rule is in use. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-13 - Asr has changed in Türkiye.
