Prayer Time, Azan Alarm, Qibla – Free Android Prayer Companion

What is Prayer Time, Azan Alarm, Qibla?

This application, developed by Vittenssi, is a lightweight tool for Muslims who want quick access to daily prayer schedules, audible Azan reminders, and a reliable Qibla direction finder. It is offered at no cost and focuses on core religious utilities without unnecessary extras.

Main features

• Prayer times – Calculates the five daily prayers based on your current location or a manually entered city.
• Azan notifications – Sends a notification at each prayer time; you can choose from a few built‑in muezzin voices.
• Qibla compass – Shows the direction to the Kaaba using the device’s compass sensor, helping you orient yourself wherever you are.

How it works

When you first open the app, it asks for permission to access your location. Using that data, it determines the appropriate calculation method for prayer times and displays the schedule for the current day. You can also tap a button to select a different city if you are traveling. The Azan alarm runs in the background, delivering a simple notification at each prayer moment. The Qibla compass reads the magnetic sensor and overlays the direction to Mecca on a basic compass rose.

Practical uses

Whether you are at home, at work, or traveling abroad, the app lets you stay aware of prayer times without needing an internet connection after the initial location lookup. The built‑in Azan alert can serve as a discreet reminder, and the compass helps you find the correct direction for Salah in unfamiliar places such as airports, hotels, or outdoor settings.

Installation information

Download the APK from a trusted source and install it like any other Android application. The app does not require a large amount of storage, and it runs on most devices that support the standard Android framework. After installation, grant location permission when prompted to enable accurate prayer calculations.

Things to know before installing

• The app relies on the device’s location services for prayer‑time calculations; accuracy improves with GPS enabled.
• Compass accuracy may be affected by nearby magnetic interference; calibrating the sensor (usually by moving the device in a figure‑8 pattern) can improve results.
• Because the app is free, it may display non‑intrusive ads, but these do not interfere with core functionality.

Who may find it useful?

Anyone who needs a simple, offline‑friendly way to keep track of prayer times and Qibla direction will benefit. The app is especially handy for travelers, students, and professionals who prefer a minimal interface without additional features such as Quranic text or extensive Islamic libraries.
