Five Prayers

Five Prayers is a private, local-first companion for tracking the five daily Salah and building a consistent Quran reading practice. See exactly where you are in your day with a glanceable Today screen. The hero card highlights the current or next prayer, counts down to it, and lets you log Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha when their scheduled time arrives. Track your Salah practice with: • Daily prayer tracking • City-based prayer times • Local prayer reminders and optional adhan playback • Missed-prayer and make-up tracking • Private progress summaries and streaks • CSV export of prayer history After logging a prayer, you can optionally continue a guided Quran reading. The primary After-prayer reading starts at Al-Faatiha and continues through the Quran in order, one next set at a time. If you choose not to read now, nothing is marked complete and no make-up task is created. You can also create named custom readings with your own ayah goals and optional private local reminders. Reading progress, completed sets, ayahs remaining, and goal history stay on your device. The Quran library remains available for independent reading and listening across all 114 surahs. Choose a translation and reciter, listen in the background, use lock-screen controls, and keep downloaded Quran content available for offline replay. No account. No ads. No social feed. Your prayer and reading progress stays private on your device. Prayer times are estimates based on the selected city. Five Prayers does not provide religious rulings or local-mosque-level timing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Five Prayers at none against Salah Lock's 4. Five Prayers also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
