Last updated: 13 November 2026

Developer: Redsoft Inc. Contact: mail.redsoftinc@gmail.com

This app shows the direction of the Qibla and prayer times. It works on your phone and does not send your data anywhere.

What the app uses and why

• Location (approximate or precise): used on your phone to work out the Qibla direction and prayer times for where you are. You can instead choose a city or type coordinates. Your location is not sent to us or to anyone else. Location is read only while the app is open.
• Camera: used only to show a live preview inside the app for the Camera + Musalla view. Nothing is recorded, saved or sent.
• Motion and compass sensors: used on your phone to turn the compass. Nothing is sent.
• Notifications and alarms: used to remind you at prayer times if you turn that on. Reminders are scheduled on your phone. You can turn them off in the app or in your phone settings.
• Vibration: used if you turn on the vibration setting.

What we collect

We do not collect, store on a server, sell or share any personal data. The app has no account, no advertising, no analytics and does not request internet access. Your choices (calculation method, reminder settings, chosen city) are saved only on your phone.

Third-party code

Prayer times are calculated with the Adhan library (github.com/batoulapps/adhan-java), MIT License, Copyright (c) 2016 Batoul Apps. It runs on your phone.

Accuracy

The Qibla direction and prayer times depend on your phone's sensors, location and the calculation method you choose. Treat them as approximate. Check with your local mosque if unsure.

Children

The app does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new date.
