How long until the next prayer, when it begins and where to face, over the real sky where you are. Everything you need sits on one calm page, with nothing in the way. One page Everything is on a single page: the countdown to the next prayer, its time and your city. Below it, the day dial holds the whole day. Drag it to see each prayer, the sun's path and the weather hour by hour; let go and it returns to now. The sky The background is the sky where you are: the sun at its real height, the moon in its real phase, stars at night. When it's cloudy, rainy or dusty where you are, you'll see it on the sky. Prayer times never depend on the weather. Qibla The Qibla arrow points where to face, and a gentle tap tells you when you're facing it. Ramadan • Imsak appears before Fajr • From Asr, the countdown runs to iftar; after Isha, to the end of suhoor • An optional alert at iftar Notifications • An alert when each prayer begins, for the prayers you choose • An optional reminder 15 minutes before • Four tones: Warm, Calm, Clear and Bright • Two adhans of Masjid al-Haram, by Muhammad Ramadan Saad and Ali Ibn Ahmad Mala, off unless you choose them Alerts follow each day's times and keep coming, without you needing to open the app. Widgets Small, medium and large on the Home Screen; circular, rectangular and inline on the Lock Screen; and StandBy.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Salah at 100% against Mawaqeet's 33%. Salah also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (monthly vs every 63 months). Mawaqeet's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Mawaqeet sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Salah asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mawaqeet holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Salah's written reviews are positive against 33% of Mawaqeet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Salah ships an update monthly, Mawaqeet every 63 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
