Most prayer apps send a single notification and go silent. If you miss it, you miss the prayer. Nala works completely differently. At every prayer time, Nala rings like a real alarm with a full adhan, and continues until you stop it yourself. Not a notification you dismiss. Not a sound that fades on its own. A real alarm that does not stop until you choose. And what sets it apart, Nala automatically adjusts its times every day based on your location. No manual changes. No reminders to update anything. Open it once. It handles the rest. - Real alarm with full Adhan audio -Automatic daily time updates based on your location -Keeps ringing until you stop it -8-minute snooze option -Enable or disable each prayer independently -Accurate times based on your GPS location -Hijri and Gregorian date display -Arabic and English support -No account required Because prayer is the greatest thing one can attain.
