Everyday Muslim: Islamic App for Android

What is Everyday Muslim?

Everyday Muslim is a free Android application developed by UMRA TECH LLC that brings together essential Islamic tools in one place. It is designed for Muslims who want reliable prayer‑time information, a convenient Qibla finder, and easy access to the Quran with audio recitation and translation options.

Main Features

• Prayer‑time calculations based on the user’s current location or a manually entered city, using a range of widely accepted calculation methods.
• Customizable alerts that let you choose the sound, volume, and lead‑time for each of the five daily prayers.
• Qibla compass that shows the direction of the Kaaba with a simple on‑screen indicator.
• Quran access with selectable reciters, Arabic text, transliteration, and translations in several languages.
• Memorization aid allowing you to mark verses, track progress, and repeat audio playback at a chosen count.

How It Works

When you first open the app, it asks for permission to access your device’s location. If granted, the app automatically determines your coordinates and calculates prayer times for the day. You can also switch to a manual entry mode if you prefer to set a specific city or region.

Prayer alerts are managed through the settings screen, where each prayer can be assigned a distinct notification tone or silent mode. The Qibla compass uses the device’s magnetic sensor to point toward Mecca, and you can calibrate it by following the on‑screen instructions.

Practical Uses

• Stay on schedule for the five daily prayers, even when traveling.
• Find the Qibla quickly in unfamiliar locations such as airports or hotels.
• Listen to the Quran while commuting, with the ability to select a preferred reciter.
• Track memorization goals by marking verses and reviewing progress over time.

Installation Information

The app is available for free on the Google Play Store. Installation follows the standard Android process: tap “Install,” allow any required permissions, and launch the app from your app drawer.

Things to Know Before Installing

• The app requires location services for automatic prayer‑time calculation; you can disable this feature and enter a location manually if you prefer.
• Audio playback of the Quran uses the device’s media volume settings.
• No in‑app purchases are required to access the core features.

Who May Find It Useful?

Everyday Muslim is suited for anyone who wants a straightforward, ad‑free experience for daily worship. It is especially helpful for:

• Students and professionals who need timely reminders.
• Travelers who need quick Qibla orientation.
• Individuals learning the Quran who benefit from audio recitation and memorization tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an internet connection?

Only the initial download and optional updates require internet access. Prayer‑time calculations and Qibla direction work offline once the app is installed.

Can I change the calculation method?

Yes. The settings include several common methods (e.g., Muslim World League, Umm al‑Qura) so you can select the one that matches your local practice.

Is my data private?

The app only uses location data to compute prayer times. No personal information is transmitted to external servers beyond what is required for basic functionality.
