The app helps you connect to you your necklace, find direction to Qibla and provides reminders for prayer times. The Qiblasense necklace is an innovative device that lets you find and feel the qibla through touch. It is a necklace or Subha which the user holds to their chest, and it then vibrates when pointing in the right direction.
