Qiblih Compass
Read full descriptionHide full description
Qiblih Compass helps Bahá’ís turn toward the Qiblih, the sacred point of orientation for Obligatory Prayer. The app calculates the direction from your current location to Bahjí, near ‘Akká, and uses your iPhone’s compass heading to help you face the right way. Open the app, allow location access, hold your iPhone flat, and turn until the app indicates that you are facing the Qiblih. Features: • Helps you turn toward the Qiblih at Bahjí • Designed for use when preparing for Obligatory Prayer • Uses your iPhone’s location and compass heading • Shows your current heading, Qiblih bearing, and turn direction • No account required • No ads, analytics, or tracking • No location storage Your location is used only on your device to calculate the direction to Bahjí. It is not stored, transmitted, sold, or shared. Qiblih Compass is intentionally simple: a calm, focused aid for turning toward the Qiblih wherever you are.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Qiblih Compass at every 5 weeks against Bahá'í Prayers's every 4 months. Qiblih Compass also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Bahá'í Prayers's advantage is device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
