What's New in Sakina
1.2.1
October 30, 2026
This update makes listening to the Quran smoother and lets prayer times follow you when you travel. - The reader follows the recitation gently, moving only as far as the next ayah needs. Scroll away and it stays put, with a Current ayah button to bring you back. - The ayah being recited has a small speaker beside it, and the next surah fades in when the recitation moves on. - The verse actions and the player now share one card, and saving an ayah shows a short note. - Change the reciter from the Text and recitation sheet in the reader. Play ayah on a first ayah now skips the Basmala. - New: Update when I travel, in Settings › Location, keeps prayer times and alerts right on a trip, even while Sakina is closed. Without it, Sakina reminds you to open it when you arrive in a new time zone. - The Qibla compass only confirms you're facing the Qibla when it is reliable, and shows its accuracy in a small line. - Hadith search finds every word you type, in any order. - Fixes for the last night of Ramadan, Friday reminders, prayer times far south and near the poles, the Basmala in At-Tin and Al-Qadr, and many smaller details.
