Best way to observe Ramadan monthly prayer times * Apple Watch app, as well as support for various watch-face complications. Please note: not all complications are the same. The "InfoGraph" watch face, for example, are limited (by watchOS) to show static information such as the next or current prayer time only.

Ishraq prayer is 10 to 12 minutes after sunrise. There is a misconception where Islamic websites and people use the word "Ishraq" and then give timings for actual Sunrise. Praying at sunrise is forbidden and must be performed after at least 10 minutes of sunrise. iPray for this reason adds 10 minutes to sunrise and labels it correctly as "Ishraaq". * Prayer Alerts will ONLY alert you with an initial Takbir. The full azan (and its length) is NOT supported by the iOS alert mechanism as there is a maximum limit of 30 seconds of audio playback.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: iPray at free against Dualock's paid. iPray also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (9.1K vs 1). Dualock's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
