Prayer Times shows the prayer times for today and tomorrow at your current location. Visualize the qibla direction by overlaying the shortest line across the Earth connecting your location to the Kaaba. On supported devices, find the qibla direction using the device compass. Enable notifications individually for each prayer time, and opt into reminder notifications that are sent 30 minutes before prayer times. Select your jurisdiction (ISNA, MWL) or select custom calculation parameters. If you choose not to enable location services, you may select any location on Earth to use as your location, and may change this selection at any time in the Preferences tab. The Apple Watch app provides prayer times, qibla direction, and all the same preferences as the iPhone and iPad app. In addition, view the next prayer time on your watch face with support for 10 complication families. Prayer Times is built with privacy in mind and is open source at https://github.com/leptos-null/PrayerTimes
