JUST PRAYER TIMES AND QIBLA COMPASS! PrayerGlobe brings prayer times, Qibla direction, and a living view of prayer across Earth into one focused iPhone app. Use your location to calculate today's local prayer times, check the Qibla with a live compass, and explore approximate prayer-time regions on a 3D globe. The globe helps you see where Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha are happening around the world. Choose your calculation method, Asr madhhab, app language, and prayer notifications in Settings. PrayerGlobe calculates base prayer times and does not add precautionary time buffers, so locally announced times may differ by a few minutes.
