Athan: Prayer Times & Al Quran 4+

Amazing

this app has so many helpful features. the amount of dhikr, dua and Quran this app has gotten me to read is excellent!!! ⭐️ Everything is translated into English and also includes transliteration which helps with pronunciation. the duas include their listed benefits too, which is great. I grew up with a lot of Arabic phrases not knowing what they meant and this app has helped me understand them and tap back into my deen much more consciously. Seamless and eye pleasing design, too. Love love love this app! Just one thing I’d mention is that the reminder texts are great but when I click them and am directed to the app they disappear and I’m unable to read them in entirety, which I would love to do. Please make them readable when we click the app from the reminders!

Prayer tracker glitches and issues for sisters

Salam! This app is overall amazing. I love the features. Features such as the prayer tracker, gallery, Quran, community and qibla. These are so helpful and useful and are just spectacular. But there are a few issues with the prayer tracker. It works amazing and it pleasing to the eye but there are some problems and inconveniences. For starters, the punctuality badges do not work. When you go to the prayer tracker for the day and scroll down, you can see it always deletes the data from 5 days before. So it never shows a full week, even if you had been praying, because the last 2-3 days are always being deleted. The punctuality badges aren’t unlocked because of this. Once you fix this, there is still a major problem for the sisters. As you know, we are excused from praying for a week every a month. That means most of us never pray more than 3 weeks in a row. We can never get to or past the one month badge. There should be a way we can mark that we are excused. Or maybe a way for a period tracking app, such as Flo or Clue, to be connected to this app. The badges are just badges and are not that important but they are still helpful and motivational. Please consider these fixes. Thank you so much for making this app which has assisted many people, including myself, onto the right path. JazakAllah Khair, may Allah SWT bless us all.

INCORRECT INFORMATION FOR WOMEN - updated

*Update*: I emailed them and they reached out to me with the references listed in their response to this review. I then provided several authentic references and they are looking into making changes. I appreciate their efforts of ensuring the information provided is correct 🙏

—— Original review👇——
Salam. I loved the app, but I unfortunately paid the subscription (to support the creators of the app) and then came upon the addition of the menstruation faqs for women. It states a woman can not enter the masjid while menstruating and this is INCORRECT! The app doesn’t even provide a reference to this. Scholars agree, you absolutely CAN ENTER THE MASJID. It also states that women can’t recite Quran while menstruating. Again, INCORRECT! The reference the app provides to Surah Al-Waquiya 56:78-80 says “ In a register well protected; none touch it (Quran) except the purified. It is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.” Scholars agree it is stating you can not touch it (note: none can touch the Quran without wudu). Nowhere does it say you can not recite. You CAN RECITE QURAN while menstruating. How dare this app give false information. Especially to new Muslims. This is wrong information that can cause a negativity and confusion. May Allah guide us and help us be better Muslims 🙏

Developer Response ,

Salam,
Apologies for any confusion caused. We strive to provide accurate information based on Quran, Hadith and authentic scholarly sources.

To address your concerns, here is another Hadith reference mentioned in the same FAQ i.e. Ibn Majah: 595 which clearly says that no woman who is menstruating should recite Qur'an.
