Buying the full version was so worth it! I look forward to seeing more! ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-04-27, version 2.0.3* I use on the daily to keep track of my praying times and my overdue prayers! ### 4/5 — Good and easy to use *2021-03-15, version 2.0.1* It’s a free app with fairly good settings to allow you to customize it to make it more practical. I use it all the time without issues. Feedback button in the app doesn’t work though. In the Supplications and sitar at section it has a subsection on rajab and shaaban. However it only shows Rajab. So it seems clear this app is still getting improved. I’ll keep using it. ### 5/5 — I loved it *2021-02-18, version 2.0.1* Thanks from developers 🙏🏻🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Love the app and new update *2021-02-12, version 2.0.0* I love this app, it helps me pray mostly on time And i loved all new features in the new update Supplications, Ziyaraat’s, etc. I just one request that for the developer’s that please keep updating the app regularly so there will be no bugs and stuff in the app because i saw you guys last updated the app almost 5 years ago so i really hope this time you guys update the app almost regularly. And I’m facing a little bug in this new update as well where i select Azan #3 for prayers but when it’s prayer time it gives totally different azan not the one i selected so if you guys can fix that hopefully. I wish I can give this app more than 5 stars! May Allah (Swt) and Ahlulbayt bless the developers of this app. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2021-02-05, version 2.0.0* This app is great and is something I use and depend on daily. I look forward to the developers incorporating a widget someday. ### 5/5 — Great update Mashallah! *2021-02-04, version 2.0.0* Mashallah great update, jazak Allah! Would love a Apple Watch support fir qibla finder. ### 5/5 — Excellent work my request *2020-07-31, version 1.0.3* Excellent app. I would request to developer if they can add more supplications and holy Quran some Surah it will be very much helpful and rewarding. ### 5/5 — Shia Companion *2020-05-26, version 1.0.3* I have been searching all over to find a Shia Prayer Application and unfortunately have had no luck until a friend referred me to this App. Not only does it have prayer times as per your location but it has a calendar where you can view the important events within the Shia Islamic Calendar. There are also Ziaraat’s and Dua’s available which are super useful. The design of the App is aesthetically pleasing too! ### 5/5 — 👌👌👌 *2020-05-26, version 1.0.3* All in all: perfect app with all needed functions! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-05-13, version 1.0.3* This app is great. Has all the required Duas and namaz which good clear guidance ### 3/5 — Please update the App *2019-10-11, version 1.0.3* The app is great but please keep up with the current iOS. ### 5/5 — Android? *2019-09-29, version 1.0.3* Please make an Android equivalent for this app. I switched to a Samsung phone thinking I’ll download it there but it’s not there. I’ll pay good money for it to be on Android. If not, I’ll throw my Samsung out and go back to iPhone just for this app. ### 5/5 — Soo ideal and perfect *2019-09-24, version 1.0.3* We need these kind of apps more often, as they contribute so much to out life! ### 5/5 — Extremely useful *2019-05-16, version 1.0.3* A brilliant app and so useful when working out work and other family dates that might clash with religious ones. I use the Duas section regularly too. Really really good feature. Recently I can’t view the event highlighted in red anymore to see what the event is. Could this be fixed? Only a few minor things that could do with fixing, It would be fab if audio options could be added to the duas and ziyarat section. Also the prayer times (fajr and imsaak) are out by an hour locally here (the only one that’s out by an hour compared to the rest which are fairly similar. Thanks to the app developers. It’s a fab app that I use daily and for the price it’s a no brainer. ### 4/5 — feedback *2019-05-06, version 1.0.3* Amazing app. Have been using it for the last few years. However recently, I have also had the same problem as the person above. I cannot tap on any of the event in red so I cannot tell which religious day is taking place. Is there any way to fix this problem? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I need help *2021-05-29, version 2.0.3* I had been using this app regularly. Earlier version was able to identify the new location easily by simply location my area through gps. However with this update things are bad, it not able to recognise my location anymore. Its asking me to enable the location services which are already on. I am currently in Kashmir and this place is not even reflecting. ### 1/5 — Not playing Azan *2019-10-23, version 1.0.3* I have paid the amount, it’s useless application, by tight it should be running at background, I have to open app before prayer time, also it doesn’t play azan on its own. Even if I play the azan it becomes mute as soon as my screen goes to lock mode 🤔 ### 1/5 — Azan *2019-04-18, version 1.0.3* Azan is not reciting full needs to fix it ### 1/5 — I like the app but I’m having payment issues *2018-05-17, version 1.0.3* I recently just got the app. However I’m sad that I had to pay for the pro features. However I thought I’ll be worthwhile so I paid for it. But I didn’t get the prob features. I pressed on the “restore purchase” button and nothing, it just highlights it at click and then turns off. Not sure what to do at this point. Please help me resolve the issue. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-03-22, version 1.0.3* I got this app on my Iphone 7 and then paid extra to get the full version of this app . I’m disappointed to say it only plays full Adhan once you hear the adhan reminder as a banner on your mobile screen and open the app to hear it . What I was hoping to get was to hear full Adhan without me having to go in to app . I wrote email to customer service 3 weeks to address the issue but no reply so far . I now have downloaded and saved Shia Adhan audio from Youtube on to my iphone’s voice notes . I play Adhan now as my mobile’s alarm ring tone to wake up for Fajr . ### 1/5 — Useless unless you buy the PRO version of the app *2018-02-24, version 1.0.3* The app is totally unusable unless you buy the PRO app ### 1/5 — Could be good app if it's FREE *2015-06-22, version 1.0.2* I was very exciting while downloading but very disappointed as I need to pay £££ for reading duas and ziyarat. ### 2/5 — How many more mistakes need to come. *2021-02-22, version 2.0.1* I do love this app but there is too many bugs, especially with the new update. Please revert it back??? ### 2/5 — Thank you but! *2017-02-13, version 1.0.3* I had to change my rating because of these problems: 1. Calendar not synced to Hilal sighting. 2. I don't want an athan notification but I just need the prayer time notification. When I choose notification without sound, it keeps giving me sound anyway. 3. The calendar is missing important events like wafayat and mawaleed. ### 2/5 — Not free *2015-05-25, version 1.0.2* There are several free similar apps. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best *2026-07-26, version 2.0.3* Jazzakum Allah Khayran My daily go to app after every prayer. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-03-15, version 2.0.3* This app helps me so much but would u mind romanizing the Arabic? It would help ALOT ### 5/5 — Perfect app but only missing the audio *2024-10-04, version 2.0.3* Perfect app but only missing the audio ### 5/5 — Brilliant app!! *2024-05-29, version 2.0.3* Amazing app with all key duas at your fingertips ### 5/5 — input *2023-10-16, version 2.0.3* please translate into Indonesian, thank you. ### 5/5 — Best App!! *2023-07-31, version 2.0.3* But some of the duas have issues. For example some و in ziyarat ashura have extra accents. One is even وَََ. Hope all gets fixed, jazakAllah ### 5/5 — Missing sunset time *2023-02-28, version 2.0.3* Would be really helpful if the sunset time could be added to the home page to when the qaza time is ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2023-02-27, version 2.0.3* MashAllah what a handy App! It has been very helpful. ### 5/5 — Apple widget prayer time *2023-01-28, version 2.0.3* In the next update, please allow for the next prayer time to be seen as a widget on the Lock Screen / widget on the home screen ### 5/5 — Literally the best! *2021-08-27, version 2.0.3* I love this app so much to the point that i can’t give it up even for one day. If I didn’t read the duas in it it makes me feel uncomfortable and empty on the inside. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
