Frequently asked questions
Prayer alerts arrive late on Android. How do I fix it?
Android only rings an alert at the exact minute if Islamic Compass is allowed to set alarms. In More › Notifications, tap Alerts may arrive late, then Allow, and turn on Alarms & reminders for Islamic Compass. The row disappears once the permission is granted.
Why does the full adhan stop after 30 seconds on iPhone?
In More › Adhans, Length lets you choose Short (the opening, about 30 seconds) or Full (the whole adhan). On Android, the prayer alert rings the full adhan to the end. On iPhone, iOS limits notification sounds to 30 seconds, so when Islamic Compass is closed the alert stops after 30 seconds; when Islamic Compass is open, the whole adhan plays.
My prayer times differ from my mosque’s. What can I change?
Open More › Calculation. Choose the Method used in your country, and set Asr to Standard or Hanafi (the Hanafi madhab gives a later Asr). Far north or south, try another High latitude rule. Times are calculated on your phone, so a change applies straight away.
Do I have to share my location?
No. In More › Location, tap Choose a city to pick your place from the built-in list, which works offline, or enter coordinates. If you want to use your position later, allow location access for Islamic Compass in your phone’s settings and tap Update location.
Can I listen to the Quran offline?
Yes, in the phone app. In a surah, open the ⋯ menu and choose Download for offline, or long-press a surah in the list. Quran › Downloads shows what is saved for each reciter and can Download all surahs (several hundred MB or more, Wi-Fi recommended).
How do I read the Quran as a book, page by page?
In a surah, tap the book icon at the top, or open the ⋯ menu, Read as › Book (mushaf pages). Choose Verse by verse to go back to the list.
How do I turn off the weather on the Today screen?
Turn off More › Weather on Today. The weather uses only your area, rounded to about 10 km, and is fetched from Open-Meteo, never through our server. With it off, nothing is sent. See the privacy policy.
