Prayer times

The times differ from my masjid

Open Settings → Location & calculation and choose the calculation method used in your country, and the Asr time that follows your madhab. Small differences of a few minutes are normal between methods and timetables.

The Hijri date is a day off

Moon sighting differs by region. Adjust the Hijri date by a day in Settings → My namaz times.

How do I set my own namaz time?

Open Settings → My namaz times and tap a prayer. Pray at azan, a set number of minutes after it, before the window ends, or at a fixed time. Pair mode lets you pray Zuhr at the end of its time and Asr as soon as it begins.

What are the red makruh rows?

Times when salah is disliked: just after sunrise, at zawal (midday) and around sunset. They show in the timetable on Today and in the calendar.

Alerts

I'm not getting azan alerts
  • Allow notifications for Namaz Planner in your phone's Settings.
  • Check that a Focus or Do Not Disturb mode isn't silencing them.
  • Open the app every few days. Phones limit how many alerts an app can schedule, so the app sets up the next few days each time you open it.
  • Use Settings → Send a test alert to check alerts work.
Can I mark a prayer from the notification?

Yes. Long-press (iOS) or expand (Android) the alert and tap Prayed.

Qibla

The compass seems wrong

Move away from metal objects and magnets, then move your phone in a figure-eight to calibrate it. On iPhone, allow location access so the compass can use true north.

Widget and app

How do I add the widget?

On iPhone, touch and hold the home screen, tap Edit → Add Widget and search for Namaz Planner. On Android, touch and hold the home screen and choose Widgets.

Can I use the app in Urdu?

Yes. Choose اردو in Settings → Language, or keep Phone default.

Why are there ads?

Every feature is free, and a small banner ad supports the app. It never shows on the qibla screen or during the pair-mode countdown.

How do I delete my data?

Everything is stored on your phone only. Uninstalling the app deletes it. See the Privacy Policy for details.
