Prayer Times, Qibla & Azan – Free Offline Prayer Companion

What is Prayer Times, Qibla & Azan?

Prayer Times, Qibla & Azan is a free Android application designed to help Muslims observe the five daily prayers wherever they are. It combines accurate, locally calculated prayer times with an audible adhan, a digital Qibla compass, and a set of Quran‑related resources. The app works without an internet connection, making it suitable for travel, remote locations, or situations where data access is limited.

Main Features

• Offline prayer‑time calculation – The app uses astronomical formulas on the device, so no server calls are required and your location stays private.
• Multiple calculation methods – Choose from a range of widely used methods to match local practice.
• Adjustable prayer offsets – Fine‑tune each prayer time by a few minutes to align with your mosque’s schedule.
• Real adhan audio – Pre‑loaded adhan recordings play at each prayer, with options for vibration or silent alerts.
• Qibla compass – A sensor‑based compass points directly toward the Kaaba, functioning offline.
• Quran reader – Browse the Quran by chapter, view word‑by‑word meanings, and access daily verses and hadith.
• Ramadan tools – Track fasting times and receive daily reminders during the holy month.
• Widgets – Home‑screen widgets display the next prayer time at a glance.

How It Works

The app determines your location using the device’s GPS or network provider. Once the coordinates are known, it applies the selected calculation method to generate the five daily prayer times and sunrise. Because all calculations happen on the device, the app does not transmit any personal data.

When a prayer approaches, the app can issue a pre‑adhan reminder followed by the chosen adhan sound. The full‑screen alarm is designed to work even on devices with aggressive battery‑saving settings.

Practical Uses

• Traveling across time zones – prayer times update automatically as you move.
• Living in areas with limited connectivity – the app remains functional without data.
• Personalizing prayer schedules – adjust times to match local mosque announcements.
• Learning the Quran – use the built‑in reader for study and reflection.

Installation Information

The application is distributed as a free download from the Google Play Store. Installation follows the standard Android process: tap “Install,” grant location permission when prompted, and the app will be ready to configure.

Things to Know Before Installing

• Location permission is required for accurate prayer‑time calculation and Qibla direction.
• The app does not require an internet connection after installation, but an initial download is needed.
• Battery usage is minimal; however, enabling full‑screen alarms may increase consumption during prayer times.

Who May Find It Useful?

Anyone looking for a reliable, offline solution to manage daily prayers, locate the Qibla, or engage with Quranic content will benefit from this app. It is especially helpful for travelers, students, and users in regions with spotty network coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the app store my location?

No. All calculations are performed locally, and the app does not send location data to external servers.

Can I add my own adhan sound?

Yes. The app provides an option to select a custom audio file for any prayer.

Is the Qibla compass accurate?

The compass uses the device’s built‑in magnetometer and updates in real time, offering reliable direction when calibrated correctly.

Do I need an internet connection to use the Quran reader?

The Quran text and translations are bundled with the app, so no connection is required after installation.
