3. “Jazakum Allahu khairan! The app is clearly new and still developing, but the design is already well thought out and user-friendly. I really appreciate the option to easily select our Madhab, and how it automatically adjusts the prayer times accordingly. The ‘forbidden prayer times’ feature is also very useful, and the daily verse and dua sections are a nice touch. While it’s not fully complete yet, it’s off to a great start!”
