Prayer Now – Azan & Prayer Times

What is Prayer Now?

Prayer Now is a free Android application developed by Prayer Now By App Rocks For Tech Solutions. It is designed to help Muslims keep track of the five daily prayers, listen to the call to prayer (Azan), find the Qibla direction, and access basic Quran features—all from a single, easy‑to‑use interface.

Main features

• Prayer times – Calculates daily prayer times for any location using GPS or manual city selection. The app supports the most common calculation methods, including the Hanafi method for Asr.
• Azan notifications – Optional alerts remind you when it is time to pray. You can choose from a selection of well‑known reciters for the Azan sound.
• Qibla finder – Uses the device’s compass and location services to point you toward the Kaaba in Mecca, even without an internet connection.
• Quran access – Browse the Holy Quran with verse search and bookmarking. Audio playback of popular reciters is available for those who prefer listening.
• Daily Azkar – A collection of common supplications for morning, evening, before sleep and during prayer can be read or played.

How it works

When you first open Prayer Now, the app asks for permission to access your location. This enables automatic calculation of prayer times based on your exact coordinates. If you prefer, you can also select a city manually and the app will use the appropriate time zone.

Azan alerts are configurable in the settings; you can enable or disable them, set a reminder offset, and pick the reciter whose voice you prefer. The Qibla compass works offline after the initial location is set, making it useful in areas with limited connectivity.

Practical uses

• Set up reliable prayer reminders to stay punctual throughout the day.
• Use the Qibla compass when traveling or when you are away from a mosque.
• Read or listen to Quran verses during commute or quiet moments.
• Incorporate daily Azkar into your routine without needing separate books or recordings.

Installation information

The app is available for free on the Google Play Store. Installation requires Android devices that support the standard Google Play services. No additional purchases are required to access the core features described above.

Things to know before installing

• Location permission is needed for accurate prayer times and Qibla direction.
