Common questions

The adhan doesn't ring.

Choose "Adhan alarm" for the prayer (Settings → Adhan & reminders). On iPhone, allow Alarms and Notifications for Athan in iOS Settings and open Athan at least once a week so it can schedule the next week of alerts. On Android, allow notifications and "Alarms & reminders" for Athan (Settings shows a reminder if it is off), and keep battery optimisation from restricting the app.

The times differ from my mosque.

Open Settings → Method and pick the method your mosque uses, check Asr (Standard or Hanafi), and use Adjust times to add or subtract minutes per prayer.

The Qibla arrow seems off.

Move your phone in a figure 8 to calibrate the compass, and keep it away from magnets, metal and other electronics, including laptops, magnetic cases and other phones. On Android, turn slowly in place for a few seconds until the arrow is bright: that is when north is locked.

How do I change the language?

Settings → Language. Athan is available in 16 languages, independent of your phone's language.
