Qadaa
Read full descriptionHide full description
Qadaa helps you calculate your missed (qaza) prayers accurately and make them up at your own pace. Many of us started praying regularly years after reaching puberty. Qadaa turns that gap into a clear number and a plan, instead of a vague worry. ACCURATE CALCULATION - Counts from your age of puberty to the day you started praying regularly - Each day counts as 6 prayers: 5 fard prayers plus witr - Based on the rules of the Hanafi madhhab A REAL CALENDAR, NOT JUST A COUNTER - Mark days on a calendar instead of guessing a single total - For women: enter your usual hayz length and irregular periods, and add nifas for each child - Hayz and nifas days are excluded automatically, so only truly missed days are counted TRACK YOUR PROGRESS - Log each prayer you make up - See how many remain and how far you've come - Statistics show your pace over time PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account or sign-up needed - Works fully offline - Your data stays on your device Clean, calm design with light and dark mode support. May Allah accept your prayers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Qadaa at none against Sawm's 3. Qadaa also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
