**If your local prayer times differ from the prayer times provided by the app you should follow the former. And please report the discrepancy so that we can address the issue in the upcoming releases.** FEATURES: - Accurate prayer times (for almost all islands of Maldives) - Notifications - Today Widget Extension This is a prayer time app for Maldives... but not just any prayer time app! The prayer times this app gives you are the prayer times you'll find on your islamic calendar publish by the authorities. They will be accurate to the minute! And that's not all, this app also lists prayer times for all (well, almost all) islands of Maldives. But take that with a grain of salt. The data we received were out dated in terms of island names and atoll classification. So recently inhabited islands might also be omitted, and you might find some islands classified under a wrong atoll (like all Noonu Atoll islands classified under Shaviyani Atoll). We are in the process of sorting this out. Bear with us.
