Qibla Finder - Prayer Times

What is Qibla Finder - Prayer Times?

Qibla Finder - Prayer Times is a free Android application developed by Cards. It combines essential tools for daily worship: prayer‑time schedules, a compass that points toward the Kaaba, and an Islamic calendar that tracks Hijri dates and major events.

Main features

• Prayer‑time schedule – View the five daily prayers (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha) for your current location.
• Qibla compass – Use the built‑in compass to locate the direction of the Kaaba, with optional magnetic calibration.
• Islamic calendar – See Hijri dates alongside Gregorian dates and keep track of Ramadan, Eid and other Islamic occasions.
• Azan alerts – Set reminders for each prayer time, with the option to receive a quiet notification before the call to prayer.
• Map view – A simple map can show your position relative to Mecca, useful when traveling.
• Themes – Light and dark modes adapt to different lighting conditions.

How it works

When you open the app, it may request access to your device’s location. This information is used to calculate accurate prayer times and to orient the Qibla compass. The compass relies on the phone’s magnetic sensor; a brief calibration step can improve accuracy, especially in areas with strong magnetic interference.

Practical uses

• At home or work – Quickly check the next prayer time without leaving your desk.
• While traveling – The Qibla compass works anywhere, helping you find the correct direction even in unfamiliar cities.
• During Ramadan – The calendar highlights fasting days and key events, making it easier to plan meals and prayers.

Installation information

The app is available through the standard Android package (APK) and can be installed on devices that support the Android operating system. No additional fees are required; the application is free to download and use.

Things to know before installing

• Location access is optional but recommended for accurate prayer times and Qibla direction.
• The app does not collect personal data beyond what is needed for location‑based features.
• Battery usage is minimal; the compass runs only when you open the Qibla view.

Who may find it useful?

Muslims who want a single, lightweight tool for prayer times, Qibla direction and Islamic calendar information will benefit from this app. It is especially handy for travelers, students, and anyone who prefers an offline solution without ads.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an internet connection?

Prayer times are calculated locally using your location data, so the app works offline after the initial setup.

Can I customize the prayer‑time calculation method?

The app follows standard calculation conventions; advanced configuration options are not provided.

Is the compass accurate?

Accuracy depends on the device’s magnetic sensor and proper calibration. For best results, perform the calibration step in an open area away from metal objects.
