Your mosque. Digital. Everywhere. moschee.io connects you with your mosque community — your mosque's own prayer times, live broadcasts from the prayer hall, and every date in one place. PRAYER TIMES FROM YOUR COMMUNITY Times come straight from your mosque, not from a generic calculation. With a countdown to the next prayer, Jumu'ah and Iqama times, sunrise, and the Hijri date. REMINDERS THAT FIT YOU Set each prayer individually: adhan, a quiet notification, or no reminder at all. LIVE BROADCASTS WITH TRANSLATION Follow the Friday sermon, lectures and classes in real time. Live translation keeps the sermon accessible even when you don't speak the imam's language. QIBLA COMPASS Turn your phone to find the direction of prayer, including the distance to Mecca. On the road, in a hotel, anywhere. MOSQUES NEAR YOU Find mosques around you on the map, with address, prayer times and directions. Useful when travelling or moving to a new city. EVENTS AND NEWS Iftar, Eid prayer, classes, lectures: every date from your community in one calendar. Announcements reach you directly on your phone. PRAYER TIMES IN YOUR CALENDAR AND ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the prayer times to your system calendar with one tap. Widgets show the next prayer, the full day, or Suhoor and Iftar right on your home screen. YOUR MOSQUE'S CAMPAIGNS Browse the campaigns your community publishes — from mosque construction to winter relief — with description and current progress. IN FIVE LANGUAGES The app speaks Deutsch, English, العربية, Türkçe and Français, with full right-to-left layout for Arabic. FOR MOSQUES Administrators maintain prayer times, events, news and live streams themselves — from the app or from moschee.io in a browser. Download moschee.io and stay connected with your community.

Patapa gives you one short Japanese story every day, written for your JLPT level, from N5 to N1. Read it. Tap any word you don't know and see its reading and meaning right there in the text. Listen to the story read aloud, one sentence at a time. Answer five questions about what you read. Tomorrow there is a new story. Kuro, a three-legged crow, reads along with you. He is dry, a little playful, and never scolds. STORIES • A new story every day at every level, N5 to N1: everyday scenes, seasons, work, school, food, the occasional crow • Everyone on a level reads the same story that day • Furigana on every kanji, or hide it when you're ready. Romaji too, if you need it. • Tap any word for its reading and meaning. Save the ones you want to keep. • Read aloud: hear the whole story, with the sentence being spoken highlighted • Five questions after each story. A wrong answer shows the right one at once, with the sentence it came from. You never get stuck. • The last few stories stay on the shelf if you missed a day WORDS • Five new JLPT words a day, each with an example sentence, usually one from the stories • A short review quiz that brings old words back just before you forget them • A quick quiz whenever you have a spare minute VERBS • A conjugation drill with the verbs from your level • Plain and polite forms: ます, ません, ない, た, て and the rest of the everyday set • Say the answer, then check it. The stem is greyed out, so you only look at the ending. KANJI • Draw kanji in stroke order and see the words they live in WHAT YOU DON'T GET • No account needed. Open it and read. • No ads, no tracking, nothing collected. Everything stays on your phone. • No points or coins. Just a story. Patapa is new and still growing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Patapa at every 2 weeks against moschee.io's every 3 weeks. moschee.io's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
